Abstract

A boundary element method, called the charge simulation method, is presented for analysis of anisotropic thin-plate bending problems. In this method the singular integrals involved in the other boundary element methods are eliminated and there is no numerical integration involved. Further, the domain integral is replaced by a polynomial particular integral; hence the domain discretization is avoided. This method is conceptually very simple. The results obtained by this method are compared with the available analytical solutions for various anisotropic and symmetric laminates and the results are in good agreement.
