Abstract: The efficiency of different moving least square differential quadrature techniques are examined for solving bending plate problems. Based on a transverse shear theory, the governing equations of the problem are derived. The transverse deflection and two rotations of the plate are independently obtained using moving least square approximations. The weighting coefficients for quadrature approximations are derived by three different techniques. For each one the accuracy and efficiency of the obtained results are examined. As well as the obtained results are compared with the previous analytical and numerical ones. Further, a parametric study is introduced to investigate the effects of elastic and geometric characteristics on the values of stress and transverse deflection of the plate.
