Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) has been recently introduced by Hughes et al. [1] as a powerful analysis tool aiming at bridging the gap between Computational Mechanics and C [...]

We review the discretization properties of classical finite element and NURBS-based isogeometric approximations on problems of structural vibrations and wave propagation. [...]

Nowadays, events like severe earthquakes or man-made malicious actions are often taken into account in structural design of critical infrastructures and consequently high [...]
