Abstract
An isogeometric meshless finite volume method has been presented to solve some nonlinear problems in elasticity. A non-uniform rational B-spline isogeometric basis function is used to construct the shape function. High computational efficiency and precision are other benefits of the method. Solving some sample problems of thin-walled structures shows the good performance of this method.
