Abstract

The objective of this paper is apply isogeometric analysis (IGA) to analyze thermoelastic behavior of functionally graded material (FGM) structures. IGA is built on NURBS basis functions used to model exact geometries with higher-order approached functions. The FGM is a type of advanced composite material has material properties is continuous distributed variation through thickness direction. The results are verified with other numerical results and results from COMSOL commercial software.
