The current communication is a state-of-the-art review of the recently developed
Isogeometric analysis and its various applications such as structural, thermal, fluid–structure …

The design and analysis of composite structures in the form of layered plates or shells is
often driven by stress concentration phenomena that occur due to geometric or material …

Functionally graded porous plates have been validated as remarkable lightweight structures
with excellent mechanical characteristics and numerous applications. With inspiration from …

An investigation into the postbuckling and geometrically nonlinear behaviors of functionally
graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) shells is carried out in this …

Sažetak The paper deals with the isogeometric analysis (IGA) of active composite laminates
with piezoelectric layers. IGA is a special formulation of the finite element method (FEM) that …

In this work an isogeometric solid-shell model for geometrically nonlinear analyses is
proposed. It is based on a linear interpolation through the thickness and a NURBS …

A numerical procedure based on the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method is
presented to solve the strong form of the differential equations that govern the free vibration …

This paper presents a large deformation Kirchhoff–Love shell model hierarchically
enhanced with through-the-thickness war** functions, arbitrarily chosen by the user. Two …

Abstract Isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love elements have received an increasing attention in
geometrically nonlinear analysis of elastic shells. Nevertheless, some difficulties still remain …

This work presents a collection of advanced computational methods, and their coupling, that
enable prediction of fatigue-damage evolution in full-scale composite blades of wind …
