Abstract (EN): In this paper, we propose to use the Murakami's zig-zag theory for the static and vibration analysis of laminated plates, by local collocation with radial basis functions in a finite differences framework. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are obtained by the Carrera's Unified Formulation, and further interpolated by a local collocation with radial basis functions and finite differences. This paper considers the analysis of static deformations, free vibrations and buckling loads on laminated composite plates.
