Abstract

A differential quadrature (DQ) method for orthotropic plates was proposed based on Reddy’s theory of plates with the effects of the higher-order transverse shear deformations. Wang-Bert’s DQ approach was also further extended to handle the boundary conditions of plates. The computational convergence was studied, and the numerical results were obtained for different grid spacings and compared with the existing results. The results show that the DQ method is fairly reliable and effective.
