computational analysis with the main objective of integrating Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) into one model It means that the IGA uses Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS), which are commonly used in CAD in order to describe both the geometry and the unknown variables for analysis problems Therefore, the process of remeshing in IGA can be omitted In this thesis, the isogeometric approach is applied to the elasticity and plasticity analysis of plate structures A Reissner-Mindlin plate theory (RMPT) based on isogeometric approach has been applied for static, free vibration and bucking analysis of the laminated composite plates In order to alleviate the locking phenomenon, a stabilization technique is introduced to modify the shear terms of the constitutive matrix Next, a novel numerical approach using a NURBS-based isogeometric approach associated with the layerwise deformation theory is formulated for static, free vibration and buckling analysis of laminated composite and sandwich plate structures In addition, a rotation-free isogeometric finite element approach for upper bound limit analysis of thin plate structures is presented for the first time A new higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is proposed using NURBS as basis functions for the analysis of laminated composite and functionally graded plates Under this higher-order shear deformation theory, the classical plate theory (CPT) and the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory are included as special cases by setting shape function determining the distribution of the transverse shear strains and stresses across the thickness of plates All CPT, RMPT and HSDT based on the isogeometric approach for the analysis of plate structures are presented in this thesis Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the present method compared with other methods introduced in the literature Contents Introduction 1.1 Review of Isogeometric Analysis
