Abstract
This paper uses isogeometric analysis (IGA) based on higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) to study the dynamic response of bio-inspired helicoid laminated composite (B-iHLC) plates resting on Pasternak foundation (PF) excited by explosive loading. IGA takes advantage of non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) basic functions to exactly represent the structure geometry models and the attainment of higher-order approximation conditions. This method also ensures a C1 continuous function in the analysis of transverse shear deformation via HSDT. Furthermore, IGA eliminates the requirement for correction factors and delivers accurate results. Pasternak foundation with two stiffness parameters: springer stiffness (k1) and shear stiffness (k2). The derivation of the governing equations is based on Hamilton's principle. The proposed method is validated through numerical examples. A comprehensive analysis of the impact of geometrical parameters, material properties, boundary conditions (BCs), and foundation stiffness on dynamic response of B-iHLC plates is carried out.
