Abstract
Differential quadrature Trefftz method (DQTM) is developed to deal with plate problems defined in irregular domains. DQTM divides the solution into two parts, a particular solution for inhomogeneous biharmonic equation and the general solution for homogeneous biharmonic equation. For the former, differential quadrature method based on the interpolation of the highest derivative (DQIHD) is involved. For the latter, polynomial basis functions are adopted instead of fundamental solutions. We will show that DQTM not only keeps the advantages of traditional differential quadrature method (DQM), high efficiency and accuracy, but also has no difficulties to deal with geometrically irregular domains.
