This article presents the use of isogeometric analysis (IGA) to analyse the behaviour of the functionally graded material (FGM) plate structures with piezoelectric patches. This study investigates the effect of piezoelectric patches on the plate structure made of FGM material as a solid model. Because IGA is based on the NURBS (Non-uniform rational basis spline) approximation, this method describes the exact geometry with the higher-order functions approach. The effectiveness of the present method is to use the few degrees of freedom combining a high-order approximation function between elements to ensure the accuracy of the result, which reduces the computational time and saves the required memory. In addition, NURBS geometry has also been shown to be a viable approach due to the flexibility in mesh construction such as refinement and high-order continuity that warranty correctly the results of the problem. Based on the advantages that IGA has been proved by many previous studies, we built a three-dimensional model for plate structure consisting of upper and lower layers with piezoelectric patches, middle layer with FGM material. The results are verified and compared to the commercial Comsol software to prove the effectiveness of the method for this problem.

This paper applies isogeometric analysis (IGA) to simulate active control of the functionally graded material (FGM) plates by using piezoelectric material patches. This control helps to reduce the deflection of the plate under the effect of static load, which makes the structure more resistant to loading. IGA is built on the non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS) basic function with many advantages such as: describing geometry exactly by approximating by higher order function and directly using this function to approach procedure. Furthermore, NURBS geometry has mesh flexibility and high continuity between elements, making the problem highly accurate. Three-dimensional model for plate-like structure consists of upper and lower layers made of piezoelectric materials, the middle layer is FGM. The obtained results will be verified with the published results to prove the efficiency of the proposed method for this problem. Through the obtained results, it is shown that IGA is used effectively for the active control problem by piezoelectric patches to reduce the displacement of FGM plates. The efficiency shown when using a small number of degrees of freedom but still ensuring the solution has accurate results when compared with the reference solution.

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.
