✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we combine Carrera's Unified Formulation and a radial basis function collocation technique for predicting the static deformations and free vibration behavior of thin and thick isotropic and cross-ply laminated plates. Through numerical experiments, the capability and efficiency of this collocation technique for static and vibration problems are demonstrated, and the numerical accuracy and convergence are thoughtfully examined.

In this paper, we propose to use the Murakami's zig-zag theory for the static and vibration analysis of laminated plates, by local collocation with radial basis functions in a finite differences framework. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are obtained by the Carrera's Unified Form

Infinitesimal deformations of a homogeneous and isotropic thick elastic plate have been analyzed by using a meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method and a higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory (HONSDPT). Radial basis functions (RBF) are employed for constructing trial solutions,
