An Isogeometric Analysis Approach to Kinematics of Spatial Rigid Multibody Systems with Imperfect Joints [PDF]

open access: yesModeling, Identification and Control, 2020
This paper proposes a novel generic methodology for kinematics of spatial rigid-multibody systems with and without lubricated joints. In this method CAD surface representations in the form of non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) are used to address the

Powell-Sabin B-splines and unstructured standard T-splines for the solution of the Kirchhoff-Love plate theory exploiting Bézier extraction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The equations that govern Kirchhoff–Love plate theory are solved using quadratic Powell–Sabin B-splines and unstructured standard T-splines. Bézier extraction is exploited to make the formulation computationally efficient.

Creeping-ray tracing algorithm for arbitrary NURBS surfaces based on adaptive variable step Euler method

open access: yesDianzi Jishu Yingyong, 2018
Although the uniform theory of diffraction(UTD) could be theoretically applied to arbitrarily-shaped convex objects modeled by non-uniform rational b-splines(NURBS), one of the great challenges in calculation of the UTD surface diffracted fields is the ...

Nitsche’s method for two and three dimensional NURBS patch coupling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present a Nitche’s method to couple non-conforming two and three-dimensional NURBS (Non Uniform Rational B-splines) patches in the context of isogeometric analysis (IGA). We present results for linear elastostatics in two and and three-dimensions. The

Discontinuous Galerkin approximations in computational mechanics: hybridization, exact geometry and degree adaptivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretizations with exact representation of the geometry and local polynomial degree adaptivity are revisited. Hybridization techniques are employed to reduce the computational cost of DG approximations and devise the ...
