Abstract
Abstract We present a formulation for isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love shell analysis on complex CAD models consisting of multiple trimmed patches. The method is based on the penalty coupling method presented in Herrema AJ, Johnson EL, Proserpio D, Wu MCH, Kiendl J, Hsu MC (Penalty coupling of non-matching isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love shell patches with application to composite wind turbine blades. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering 2019;346:810–840.) and extended to the application on arbitrary coupling curves defined either in the physical or parametric space. We present the detailed formulation ready for implementation. Different numerical tests demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of the method.
