This paper develops a novel coupling approach of the isogeometric analysis (IGA) method and the meshfree method for geometrically nonlinear analysis of thin-shell structures. The Kirchhoff–Love (KL) thin-shell theory is employed without the consideration of rotational degrees of freedom. Both parame...
