Abstract (EN): Driscoll and Heryudono [1] developed an adaptive method for radial basis functions method. This article addresses the adaptive analysis of composite plates in bending with radial basis multiquadric functions using Driscoll and Heryudono's technique. In this article, various laminates, thickness to side length ratios, and boundary conditions are considered. The method allows for a more natural and automatic selection of the problem grid, where the user must only define the error tolerance. The results obtained show an interesting and promising approach to the static analysis of composite laminates.
