Using B splines to investigate rectangular-plate flexure

Recently, B splines have been used in solving one-, two-, and three-dimensional problems of shell and plate theory on account of their good approximating properties and convenience in numerical approaches. Researchers have used spline functions with a uniform grid and have only considered certai types of boundary conditions. At the same time, the application of splines to problems described by systems of differential equations with discontinuous coefficients entails a considerable volume of calculations, which raises questions about their applicability to practically important problems of plate and shell statics.
