This paper aims to develop a three-dimensional isogeometric-reproducing kernel particle method (IGA-RKPM) coupling approach to study the buckling behavior of cracked isotropic and orthotropic plate and shell structures. The IGA and RKPM-based meshfree methods are coupled successfully through a repro...
