Meshless methods for modeling of laminated composite plates

This thesis reports the applicability of the Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) for the analysis of laminated composite plates. The work includes linear and nonlinear analysis of laminated composite plates by the presented RKPM approaches, incorporating first-order shear deformation plate the...
