In this work we develop a novel fully discrete version of the plates complex, an exact Hilbert complex relevant for the mixed formulation of fourth-order problems. The derivation of the discrete complex follows the discrete de Rham…
A thin shell finite element approach based on Loop's subdivision surfaces is proposed, capable of dealing with large deformations and anisotropic growth. To this end, the Kirchhoff-Love theory of thin shells is derived and extended to allow…
The mechanical model of a thin plate with boundary control and observation is presented as a port-Hamiltonian system (pHs), both in vectorial and tensorial forms: the Kirchhoff-Love model of a plate is described by using a Stokes-Dirac…
This work utilizes the Immersed Boundary Conformal Method (IBCM) to analyze Kirchhoff-Love and Reissner-Mindlin shell structures within an immersed domain framework. Immersed boundary methods involve embedding complex geometries within a…
This work focuses on the coupling of trimmed shell patches using Isogeometric Analysis, based on higher continuity splines that seamlessly meet the $C^1$ requirement of Kirchhoff-Love-based discretizations. Weak enforcement of coupling…

The strain incompatibility equations are discussed for nonlinear Kirchhoff-Love shells with sources of inhomogeneity arising due to a distribution of topological defects, such as dislocations and disclinations, and metric anomalies, such as…
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…
Stable and accurate modeling of thin shells requires proper enforcement of all types of boundary conditions. Unfortunately, for Kirchhoff-Love shells, strong enforcement of Dirichlet boundary conditions is difficult because both functional…

We develop a finite element method for a large deformation membrane elasticity problem on meshed surfaces using a tangential differential calculus approach that avoids the use of classical differential geometric methods. The method is also…
Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) bridges Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by employing splines as a common basis for geometry and analysis. One of the advantages of IGA is in the realm of thin shell analysis: due to…
Given a distribution of defects on a structured surface, such as those represented by 2-dimensional crystalline materials, liquid crystalline surfaces, and thin sandwiched shells, what is the resulting stress field and the deformed shape?…
