Static and Free Vibration Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates Using Isogeometric Approach Based on the Third Order Shear Deformation Theory

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) based on nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS) is applied for static and free vibration analysis of laminated composite plates by using the third order shear deformation theory (TSDT). TSDT requires C 1 -continuity of generalized displacements and NURBS basis functions ar...
