The shape functions of the displacement fields of a plate element are based on the MLS interpolation technique and have the advantages to seamlessly link the meshless method with FEM method. A special approach is developed to overcome the issues in reinforcing the boundary conditions and compatibility conditions between elements that are normally associated with the MLS interpolation technique. The governing eigenvalue equation for the buckling and vibration of a plate is derived based on the Mindlin shear deformation plate theory. Convergence and comparison studies are carried out to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the MLS-Element method. The influence of the size and locations of the cutouts and cracks on the buckling and vibration responses of the plates is presented in details. The speaker will also give a brief introduction on his institution and school at the beginning of the seminar.
