Trefftz method for large deflection of plates with application of evolutionary algorithms
Abstract
The large deflection of thin plates by means of Berger equation is considered. An iterative solution of Berger equation by the method of fundamental solutions is proposed. In each iterative step the Berger equation can be considered as an inhomogeneous partial differential equation of the fourth order. The inhomogeneous term is interpolated by radial basis functions using thin plate splines. For the optimal choice of parameters of the fundamental solutions method an evolutionary algorithm is used. Numerical results for square plate with simply supported edges are presented to compare the obtained results with previous solutions.
