Abstract: One of the major limitations of the conventional Ritz method is its difficulty in implementation to the differential equations with natural boundary conditions at the boundary points/lines. Plates ...

Abstract: In this paper, a mixed method that combines the Ritz method and the triangular quadrature rule (TQR) is presented for solving time-dependent problems. In this study, the Ritz method is first ...

Abstract: In this paper, a numerical algorithm using a coupled finite element-differential quadrature (DQ) method is proposed for the dynamic analysis of laminated composite coated beams subjected to a ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new version of mixed finite element–differential quadrature formulation is presented for solving time-dependent problems. The governing partial differential equation of motion of ...
