Vibration Analysis of Rectangular Plates with Free Corners Using Spline-Based Differential Quadrature

A spline-based differential quadrature method (SDQM) is elaborated and applied to the vibration analysis of rectangular plates with free edges. The sextic B-spline functions are used to construct the pertaining cardinal spline interpolants. Thus, explicit expressions of weighting coefficients for ap...
