Abstract A new mixed meshless formulation based on the interpolation of both strains and displacements has been proposed for the analysis of plate deformation responses. Kinematics of a three dimensional solid is adopted and discretization is performed by the nodes located on the upper and lower plate surfaces. The governing equations are derived by employing the local Petrov-Galerkin approach. The approximation of all unknown field variables is carried out by using the same Moving Least Squares functions in the in-plane directions, while linear polynomials are applied in the transversal direction. The shear locking effect is efficiently More >
