Abstract
Dispersion analysis provides a rational way to examine the dynamic properties of numerical methods through comparing the numerical and continuum frequencies. In this paper a detailed comparative investigation is presented on the dispersion features of the Hermite reproducing kernel (HRK) and the conventional reproducing kernel (RK) meshfree methods for Kirchhoff plate problem with particular reference to the spatial discretizations. In the analysis the nodal variables of the semi-discretized meshfree Kirchhoff plate equations are assumed as harmonic wave functions to extract the numerical frequency. For the RK approximation, only the deflectional nodal variables are expressed by the harmonic wave functions, while unlike RK approximation, both deflectional and rotational nodal variables should be expressed by the harmonic wave functions for the HRK approximation. The dispersion analysis results uniformly evince that the HRK meshfree discretization has much smaller dispersion errors and performs superiorly compared to the conventional RK meshfree discretization for Kirchhoff plate problem.
