SUMMARY This paper presents a novel numerical procedure based on the framework of isogeometric analysis for static, free vibration, and buckling analysis of laminated composite plates using the first‐order shear deformation theory. The isogeometric approach utilizes non‐uniform rational B‐splines to implement for the quadratic, cubic, and quartic elements. Shear locking problem still exists in the stiffness formulation, and hence, it can be significantly alleviated by a stabilization technique. Several numerical examples are presented to show the performance of the method, and the results obtained are compared with other available ones. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
