Abstract
This paper addresses the static and free vibration analysis of rectangular plates resting on Pasternak foundations. The Pasternak foundation is described by a two-parameter model. The numerical approach is based on collocation with radial basis functions. The model allows the analysis of arbitrary boundary conditions and irregular geometries. It is shown that the present method, based on a first-order shear deformation theory produces highly accurate displacements and stresses, as well as natural frequencies and modes.
