Numerical implementation of the spline-collocation method for bending of rectangular plates

Different approaches are considered to the application of the spline-collocation method to bending of rectangular plates. The effect of the choice of collocation nodes on the order of accuracy of the method is investigated. Numerical results obtained with different arrangements of collocation points are reported.Institute of Mechanics, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Kiev University.
