Abstract A differential reproducing kernel particle (DRKP) method is proposed and developed for the analysis of simply supported, multilayered elastic and piezoelectric plates by following up the consistent concepts of reproducing kernel particle (RKP) method. Unlike the RKP method in which the shape functions for derivatives of the reproducing kernel (RK) approximants are obtained by directly taking the differentiation with respect to the shape functions of the RK approximants, we construct a set of differential reproducing conditions to determine the shape functions for the derivatives of RK approximants. On the basis of the extended Hellinger-Reissner principle, More >
