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 …

Isogeometric analysis (IGA), an approach that integrates CAE into conventional CAD design
tools, has been used in structural optimization for 10 years, with plenty of excellent research …

This paper presents a general non-linear computational formulation for rotation-free thin
shells based on isogeometric finite elements. It is a displacement-based formulation that …

Thin shell structures are widely used in the aerospace, automotive and mechanical
engineering industries. They are ideal candidates for the isogeometric analysis paradigm …

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is particularly suitable for the prediction of buckling load and
design optimization of variable-stiffness composite panels, since curvilinear fiber path can …

An important feature that drives the auxetic behaviour of the star-shaped auxetic structures is
the hinge-functional connection at the vertex connections. This feature poses a great …

In this paper, we present an accurate and efficient isogeometric topology optimization
method that integrates the non-uniform rational B-splines based isogeometric analysis and …

We present isogeometric shape optimization for shell structures applying sensitivity
weighting and semi-analytical analysis. We use a rotation-free shell formulation and all …

Abstract Analysis-suitable T-splines (ASTS) including both extraordinary points and T-
junctions are used to solve Kirchhoff–Love shell problems. Extraordinary points are required …

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 …
