Free vibration and buckling analyses of composite plates with straight-sided quadrilateral domain based on DSC approach
Discrete singular convolution (DSC) method has been proposed to obtain the frequencies and buckling loads of composite plates. By using geometric transformation, the straight-sided quadrilateral domain is mapped into a square domain in the computational space using a four-node element. Plates having different geometries such as rectangular, skew, trapezoidal and rhombic plates are presented. The obtained results are compared with those of other numerical methods. Numerical results indicate that the DSC is a simple, accurate and reliable algorithm for vibration and buckling analyses of composite plates.
