This study considers Timoshenko beam theory and the isogeometric analysis method to investigate the free vibration and buckling of axially functionally graded (AFG) tapered beams. The governing equations are obtained from the kinematic assumptions of Timoshenko beam theory and Hamilton's principle. The isogeometric analysis approach is implemented to solve the motion equations. One-dimensional B-spline basis functions are used to estimate the displacement field, describe the geometry, and illustrate the deformed shapes of the beam. Due to suffering the isogeometric approach from the shear locking phenomenon, the selectively reduced integration is applied. It is shown that this method can mitigate the effect of shear locking. In this attempt, the effect of material non-homogeneity parameters, mass density, Young's modulus, and taper ratio on the critical buckling loads and natural frequencies are considered for various boundary conditions. Several numerical examples show the accuracy and reliability of this method. The obtained results are in accord with the ones in the related articles and can be adopted as future reference solutions.

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) has emerged as a promising approach in the field of structural optimization, benefiting from the seamless integration between the computer-aided design (CAD) geometry and the analysis model by employing non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) as basis functions. However, structural optimization for real-world CAD geometries consisting of multiple non-matching NURBS patches remains a challenging task. In this work, we propose a unified formulation for shape and thickness optimization of separately parametrized shell structures by adopting the free-form deformation (FFD) technique, so that continuity with respect to design variables is preserved at patch intersections during optimization.

We solve acoustic scattering problems by means of the isogeometric boundary integral equation method. In order to avoid spurious modes, we apply the combined field integral equations for either sound-hard scatterers or sound-soft scatterers. These integral equations are discretized by Galerkin's method, which especially enables the mathematically correct regularization of the hypersingular integral operator.

This paper presents a parameterisation framework based on (inverted) elliptic PDEs for addressing the planar parameterisation problem of finding a valid description of the domain's interior given no more than a spline-based description of its boundary contours. The framework is geared towards isogeometric analysis (IGA) applications wherein the physical domain is comprised of more than four sides, hence requiring more than one patch. We adopt the concept of harmonic maps and propose several PDE-based problem formulations capable of finding a valid map between a convex parametric multipatch domain and the piecewise-smooth physical domain with an equal number of sides.
