Unveiling the Multiphysics Complexity: An Isogeometric Framework for Inducing Bifurcation and Tracing Post-Buckling Paths in Electroelastic Thin Shells
Zhaowei Liu, Long Jin, Andrew McBride +4
Electroelastic shells are widely used in soft actuators, sensors, and energy harvesters owing to their large electrically induced deformations. However, the accurate simulation of…
An embedding-aware continuum thin shell formulation
Abhishek Ghosh, Andrew McBride, Zhaowei Liu +3
Cutting-edge smart materials are transforming the domains of soft robotics, actuators, and sensors by harnessing diverse non-mechanical stimuli, such as electric and magnetic field…
A fully-coupled nonlinear magnetoelastic thin shell formulation
Abhishek Ghosh, Andrew McBride, Zhaowei Liu +3
A geometrically exact dimensionally reduced order model for the nonlinear deformation of thin magnetoelastic shells is presented. The Kirchhoff-Love assumptions for the mechanical…
Computational bifurcation analysis of hyperelastic thin shells
Zhaowei Liu, Andrew McBride, Abhishek Ghosh +5
The inflation of hyperelastic thin shells is an important and highly nonlinear problem that arises in multiple engineering applications involving severe kinematic and constitutive…
Vibration Analysis of Piezoelectric Kirchhoff-Love Shells based on Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surfaces
Zhaowei Liu, Andrew McBride, Prashant Saxena +3
An isogeometric Galerkin approach for analysing the free vibrations of piezoelectric shells is presented. The shell kinematics is specialised to infinitesimal deformations and foll…
Coupled electro-elastic deformation and instabilities of a toroidal membrane
Zhaowei Liu, Andrew McBride, Basant Lal Sharma +2
We analyse here the problem of large deformation of dielectric elastomeric membranes under coupled electromechanical loading. Extremely large deformations (enclosed volume changes…
Assessment of an Isogeometric Approach with Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surfaces using the Laplace-Beltrami Problems

An isogeometric approach for solving the Laplace-Beltrami equation on a two-dimensional manifold embedded in three-dimensional space using a Galerkin method based on Catmull-Clark…
An isogeometric boundary element method for electromagnetic scattering with compatible B-spline discretizations
Robert N. Simpson, Zhaowei Liu, Ráfael Vazquez +1
We outline the construction of compatible B-splines on 3D surfaces that satisfy the continuity requirements for electromagnetic scattering analysis with the boundary element method…
Isogeometric FEM-BEM coupled structural-acoustic analysis of shells using subdivision surfaces
Zhaowei Liu, Musabbir Majeed, Fehmi Cirak +1
We introduce a coupled finite and boundary element formulation for acoustic scattering analysis over thin shell structures. A triangular Loop subdivision surface discretisation is…
