Abstract (EN): A computational method based on radial basis functions has been applied to the linear solution of thin plates. This meshless numerical method gives high flexibility in the analysis of irregular geometries, due to its insensivity to spatial dimension. The multiquadrics approach is used in this paper. The numerical solution is compared with Kirchhoff theory for plates. © 2005 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.
