We combine the isogeometric analysis, the level set and a simple first-order shear
deformation theory (S-FSDT) to form a new effective and accurate approach for simulating …

We investigate new numerical results of thermal buckling for functionally graded plates
(FGPs) with internal defects (eg, crack or cutout) using an effective numerical method. The …

Accurate numerical modeling of multifield piezoelectric materials is challenging because of
the inherent electro-mechanical coupling effect and material anisotropic behaviors. The …

This paper presents a novel approach based on isogeometric analysis (IGA) and a simple
first-order shear deformation plate theory (S-FSDT) for geometrically nonlinear analysis of …

A dynamic extended isogeometric analysis (XIGA) is developed for transient fracture of
cracked magnetoelectroelastic (MEE) solids under coupled electro-magneto-mechanical …

In this paper, a new approach is developed for structural shape optimization, which consists
in coupling the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the isogeometric boundary …

Numerical investigation of buckling and free vibration of functionally graded plates
considering in-plane material inhomogeneity is presented in this paper. A novel and …

Continuous monitoring of mechanical parameters determining the state of natural and man-
made systems is essential in a wide range of engineering disciplines from mechanical to …

Practical applications such as airplane wings are usually subjected to combined thermal
and mechanical loads, and they hence are prone to buckling failure. Preceding works on the …

The critical buckling parameters and natural frequencies of defective functionally graded
material (FGM) plates with internal cracks or voids are extracted by using an effective …
