In this work a new cell based strain smoothing formulation for isogeometric finite element analysis is proposed. The new CS-IGA method is formulated by incorporating cell-wise strain smoothing operation into IGA method. The compatible strain fields are smoothed based on smoothing domains associated with entities of isogeometric elements and the smoothed Galerkin weak form based on these smoothing...
