This paper studies elasto-plastic large deformation behavior of thin shell structures using the isogeometric computational approach with the main focus on the efficiency in modelling the multi-patches and arbitrary material formulations. In…
This work presents a Finite Element Model Updating inverse methodology for reconstructing heterogeneous material distributions based on an efficient isogeometric shell formulation. It uses nonlinear hyperelastic material models suitable for…
In this paper, the numerical approximation of isometric deformations of thin elastic shells is discussed. To this end, for a thin shell represented by a parametrized surface, it is shown how to transform the stored elastic energy for an…
The Kirchhoff-Love shell theory is recasted in the frame of the tangential differential calculus (TDC) where differential operators on surfaces are formulated based on global, three-dimensional coordinates. As a consequence, there is no…
The article addresses the mathematical modeling of the folding of a thin elastic sheet along a prescribed curved arc. A rigorous model reduction from a general hyperelastic material description is carried out under appropriate scaling…
Penalty methods have proven to be particularly effective for achieving the required $C^1$-continuity in the context of multi-patch isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shells. Due to their conceptual simplicity, these algorithms are readily…
A formulation of the asymptotically exact first-order shear deformation theory for linear-elastic homogeneous plates in the rescaled coordinates and rotation angles is considered. This allows the development of its asymptotically accurate…
Accurate finite element analysis of refined shell theories is crucial but often hindered by membrane and shear locking effects. While various element-based locking-free techniques exist, this work addresses the problem at the theoretical…
We propose an alternative approach called backward transformation for the design of platonic cloaks, without resorting to in-plane body forces and pre-stresses, which can lead to unphysical features. It is shown that the Kirchhoff-Love…
An isogeometric Galerkin approach for analysing the free vibrations of piezoelectric shells is presented. The shell kinematics is specialised to infinitesimal deformations and follow the Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis. Both the geometry and…
Inspired by recent results on self-avoiding inextensible curves, we propose and experimentally investigate a numerical method for simulating isometric plate bending without self-intersections. We consider a nonlinear two-dimensional…
We propose an isogeometric approach to model the deformation of active thin films using layered, nonlinear, Kirchhoff Love shells. Isogeometric Collocation and Galerkin formulations are employed to discretize the electrophysiological and…
This paper investigates the optimal distribution of hard and soft material on elastic plates. In the class of isometric deformations stationary points of a Kirchhoff plate functional with incorporated material hardness function are…
While isotropic in-plane swelling problems for thin elastic sheets have been studied extensively in recent years, many shape-programmable materials, including nematic solids and 3D-printed structures, are anisotropic, as are most industrial…
The deformation method of transformation optics has been demonstrated to be a useful tool, especially in designing arbitrary and nonsingular transformation materials. Recently, there are emerging demands for isotropic material parameters,…
The geometrically rigorous nonlinear analysis of elastic shells is considered in the context of finite, but small, strain theory. The research is focused on the introduction of the full shell metric and examination of its influence on the…
We developed a novel contactless frequency-domain approach to study thermal transport, which is particularly convenient when thermally anisotropic materials are considered. The method is based on a similar line-shaped heater geometry as…
The present work focuses on geometrically exact finite elements for highly slender beams. It aims at the proposal of novel formulations of Kirchhoff-Love type, a detailed review of existing formulations of Kirchhoff-Love and Simo-Reissner…
In the error analysis of finite element methods, the shape regularity assumption on triangulations is typically imposed to obtain a priori error estimations. In practical computations, however, very thin or degenerated elements that violate…
We present a comprehensive rotation-free Kirchhoff-Love (KL) shell formulation for peridynamics (PD) that is capable of modeling large elasto-plastic deformations and fracture in thin-walled structures. To remove the need for a predefined…
