We are interested in this work in methods that alleviate shear and membrane locking,
typically involved in thick plates and shells. We investigate the use of higher order NURBS to …

B-spline reduced quadrature rules are proposed in the context of isogeometric analysis.
When performing a full Gaussian integration, the high regularity provided by spline basis …

This research is aimed to develop an efficient and high-performance four-node iso-
parametric beam element, which is composed of Functionally Graded Material (FGM). In …

A general mathematical framework is proposed, in this paper, to define new quadrature
rules in the context of B-spline/NURBS-based isogeometric analysis. High order continuity …

In this paper, the large amplitude free flexural vibration characteristics of fairly thick and thin
functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced porous curved composite beams are …

In the present work, formulation for the nonlinear free vibrational behavior of laminated
variable stiffness composite beams with curvilinear fibers is made incorporating sinusoidal …

This paper investigates the in-plane linear dynamic behaviour of multi-stepped and multi-
damaged circular arches under different boundary conditions. Cracked cross-sections are …

An accurate two‐node (three degrees of freedom per node) finite element is developed for
curved shear deformable beams. The element formulation is based on shape functions that …

A new two‐noded shear flexible curved beam element which is impervious to membrane
and shear locking is proposed herein. The element with three degrees of freedom at each …

In the present study, the nonlinear flexural bending of thick and thin porous curved
composite beams reinforced and functionally graded by graphene platelets is carried out …
