Nonuniform Shear Deformable Axisymmetric Orthotropic Circular Plates Resting on a Two-Parameter Elastic Foundation Solved using the DQEM with a DO Model

摘要

The development of differential quadrature element method (DQEM) solution of non-uniform shear deformable axisymmetric orthotropic circular plates resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation was carried out. The DQEM uses DQ model to discretize the governing differential equation defined on each element, the transition conditions defined on the inter-element boundary of two adjacent elements and the boundary conditions of the beam. Numerical results solved by the developed numerical algorithms are presented. The convergence of the developed DQEM analysis models is efficient.
