Abstract In this paper, an advanced version of the classic GDQ method, called the Generalized Differential Quadrature Finite Element Method (GDQFEM) is formulated to solve plate elastic problems with inclusions. The GDQFEM is compared with Cell Method (CM) and Finite Element Method (FEM). In particular, stress and strain results at fiber/matrix interface of dissimilar materials are provided. The GDQFEM is based on the classic Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) technique that is applied upon each sub-domain, or element, into which the problem domain is divided. When the physical domain is not regular, the mapping technique is used… More >
