A survey of several methods under the heading of strong formulation finite element method
(SFEM) is presented. These approaches are distinguished from classical one, termed weak …

In the past few years, the differential quadrature method has been applied extensively in
engineering. This book, aimed primarily at practising engineers, scientists and graduate …

Thermo-mechanical vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) beams and functionally
graded sandwich (FGSW) beams are presented. The functionally graded material (FGM) …

This article reviews state-of-art solution methodologies for structural analysis of composites.
The use of composites and advance composite in the design of structures has contributed to …

Based on the differential quadrature (DQ) rule, the Gauss Lobatto quadrature rule and the
variational principle, a DQ finite element method (DQFEM) is proposed for the free vibration …

The free vibration of solid circular plates has been studied using the generalized differential
quadrature rule (GDQR). The effects such as stepped thickness, intermediate concentric ring …

This paper presents a computationally efficient and an accurate new methodology in
differential quadrature analysis of beam elements. The methodology would overcome the …

A Differential Quadrature proposed here can be used to solve boundary-value and initial-
value differential equations with a linear or nonlinear nature. Unlike the classic Differential …

In Part 1 of this paper, the sampling grid points for the differential quadrature method to give
unconditionally stable higher‐order accurate time step integration algorithms are proposed …

The generalized differential quadrature rule (GDQR) proposed here is aimed at solving high‐
order differential equations. The improved approach is completely exempted from the use of …
