Abstract
A new numerical approach for solving non-uniform shear deformable axisymmetric orthotropic circular plate problems is proposed. The approach uses differential quadrature (DQ) to discretize the governing equations defined on each element, the transition conditions defined on the inter-element boundary of two adjacent elements, and the boundary conditions of the plate. This is a differential quadrature element method (DQEM) analysis model. Numerical results of sample problems solved by this DQEM analysis model are presented. They prove that the developed DQEM shear deformable axisymmetric orthotropic circular late analysis model is accurate. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
