Abstract. Least squares collocation method (LSC) is a versatile numerical method for solving boundary value problems for PDE. The present article demonstrates the abilities of LSC to solve various problems -in particular, calculations of bending of isotropic irregular shaped plates and multi-layered anisotropic plates. In order to achieve higher accuracy, new versions of the method utilize high-degree polynomial spaces. The numerical experiments demonstrate high accuracy of the solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
