Statics, Free Vibration, and Buckling Analyses of Cracked Kirchhoff-Love Thin Plates Using Adaptive XIGA
摘要
This paper develops an adaptive extended isogeometric analysis (XIGA) based on locally refined Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (LR NURBS) for static, free vibration, and buckling analyses of cracked Kirchhoff-Love thin plates. The Kirchhoff-Love theory offers the advantage of requiring only deflection unknowns instead of rotation unknowns, thus reducing the number of degrees of freedom. By leveraging the high-order continuity properties of XIGA, this approach satisfies the
