The practice of verification of shell finite element formulations is discussed from a variety of
viewpoints: The provenance of benchmark target values, the suitability of benchmark …

A discontinuous Galerkin (DG) isogeometric analysis (IGA) formulation with peridynamic
(PD) model is proposed for the simulation of cracks in shell structure. A micro-beam PD …

Straight beams, rods and trusses are common elements in structural and mechanical
engineering, but recent advances in additive manufacturing now also enable efficient …

We propose a novel approach to the linear viscoelastic problem of shear-deformable
geometrically exact beams. The generalized Maxwell model for one-dimensional solids is …

In this paper, a phase-field model is presented for the description of brittle fracture in a
Reissner–Mindlin plate and shell formulation. The shell kinematics as well as the phase …

Isogeometric collocation (IGA-C) method is a computational approach to solve boundary
value problems. In this method (IGA-C), the differential equations are solved in strong form …

We present a novel formulation for the dynamics of geometrically exact Timoshenko beams
and beam structures made of viscoelastic material featuring complex, arbitrarily curved initial …

In this paper, mixed formulations are presented in the framework of isogeometric Reissner–
Mindlin plates and shells with the aim of alleviating membrane and shear locking. The …

This paper proposes a general strain-gradient and shear-deformable isogeometric
microshell formulation based on the complete Mindlin's form II strain gradient theory (SGT) …

We propose a mixed stress-displacement isogeometric collocation method for nearly
incompressible elastic materials and for materials exhibiting von Mises plasticity. The …
