Abstract:
      A wavelet-based differential quadrature method(WDQM) is developed to deal with bending problems of Kichhoff plates under arbitrary load in this paper.The numerical examples show that WDQM is more versatile than the conventional differential quadrature method(DQM).Because of the wavelet property of locatization and the good features in treating with singularities,the WDQM is found to be much more efficient and accurate than DQM when the plate is under concentrated load or discontinuously distributed load.The present WDQM is an effective alternative to the conventional DQM.
