It was found that: The convergence and accuracy of the

DR solution is dependent on several factors including

boundary conditions, mesh size and type, fictitious densities,

damping coefficients, time increment and applied load. Also,

the DR large deflection program using uniform finite

differences meshes can be employed in the analysis of

different thicknesses for isotropic, orthotropic or laminated

plates under uniform loads. All the comparison results for

simply supported (SS5) edge conditions showed that

deflection is almost dependent on the direction of the applied

load or the arrangement of the layers
