High-precision computation in mechanics of composite structures by a strong sampling surfaces formulation: Application to angle-ply laminates with arbitrary boundary conditions

This paper presents the three-dimensional analysis of laminated composite rectangular plates with general boundary and loading conditions using the strong sampling surfaces (SaS) formulation and the extended differential quadrature (EDQ) method proposed by the first author. The strong SaS formulation is based on the choice of SaS parallel to the middle surface and located at Chebyshev polynomial nodes to introduce the displacements of these...
