We perform linear and nonlinear analyses of beam, plate and shell structures with new materials and theoretical models using isogeometric analysis. Especially, we focus on nonlinear problems, instabilities of FG-CNTRC shells. The nonlinearity of CNT shells is formed in the Total Lagrangian approach considering the von Karman assumption. Effects of CNTs distribution, volume fraction and CNTs orientation on the postbuckling behavior of FG-CNTRC shells are particularly investigated.
