RBF-Based Meshless Method for Large Deflection of Elastic Thin Rectangular Plates with Boundary Conditions Involving Free Edges

An RBF-based meshless method is presented for the analysis of thin plates undergoing large deflection. The method is based on collocation with the multiquadric radial basis function (MQ-RBF). In the proposed method, the resulting coupled nonlinear equations are solved using an incremental-iterative...
