Static deformations and vibration analysis of composite and sandwich plates using a layerwise theory and multiquadrics discretizations (2005, background): “The use of layerwise theories and radial basis functions has also been proposed recently by the author for static deformations of composite plates in bending [55,56].”
A wavelet collocation method for the static analysis of sandwich plates using a layerwise theory (2010, methodology): “More recently the analysis of isotropic and laminated plates by Kansa’s non-symmetric radial basis function collocation method was performed by Ferreira and colleagues [8–16].”
Static deformations and vibration analysis of composite and sandwich plates using a layerwise theory and RBF-PS discretizations with optimal shape parameter (2008, methodology): “The use of layerwise theories and radial basis functions has also been proposed recently by Ferreira et al. for the static deformations of composite plates in bending [38, 39 ] .I n this paper, we combine for the first time a layerwise theory for plates, a radial basis method with pseudospectral fra”
