Explicit expressions of the non-uniform grid point coordinates are given and the weighting coefficients of the triangular differential quadrature method are determined with the aid of area coordinates. Two typical examples are presented to testify the effectiveness of the non-uniform grid. It is shown that rapid convergence is achieved under the non-uniform grid in comparison with those from the uniform grid with the same order of approximation.展开更多
