In this thesis, the Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) of thin-walled structures such as membranes and Kirchhoff-Love shells modelled by trimmed NURBS multipatches and its application to partitioned Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is detailed. Accordingly, Penalty, Lagrange Multipliers and Nitsche-type methods are developed for the isogeometric analysis of such structures on trimmed multpatches. To exploit the benefits of IGA on multipatches in FSI, a novel isogeometric mortar-based mapping method for real world CAD geometries is elaborated.
