Abstract
The main aim of this study is to develop a numerical model based on Isogeometric Analysis to investigate the large deflection response of curved functionally graded beams. In this regard, an exact three-dimensional beam theory is employed to model the spatial behavior of the beams. The beam theory has been considered as an up-to-date one, which effectively fulfills the requirements large deflection representation, objectively, and geometrical exactness. The C1-continuity requirement of interpolation functions to develop the beam elements is treated naturally and efficiently by adopting the Isogeometric Analysis approach. To validate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach, five standard benchmark test cases are conducted. In additions, various numerical examples are presented to study the influence of material variations on the behavior of curved functionally graded beam under different loading conditions.
