Isogeometric Analysis of Wrinkling

Wrinkles are ubiquitous in the world around us. In our daily lives, we encounter wrinkles in various forms, whether in our clothes or on our skin. Wrinkles emerge as a result of a delicate interplay between bending, membrane, and foundation stiffness contributions within membranes. While experimental investigations provide insights into the...

Modelling Wrinkling Behaviour of Large Floating Thin Offshore Structures: An application of Isogeometric Structural Analysis for Post-Buckling Analyses

With increasing attention to climate change,renewable energy generation has become a major topic for research anddevelopment. Wind and solar energy are generated on land, whereas wave, windand tidal energy generators are getting attention in the offshore domain. Anovel extension of onshore solar energy is the concept of...
