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

Sensitivity analysis of flexoelectric materials surrogate model based on the isogeometric finite element method

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
In this paper proposes a sensitivity analysis method based on a Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE) surrogate model for flexoelectric materials. The non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) basis functions to discretize the fourth-order partial differential ...

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 ...

Simulation of Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints with Nurbs Surface Fitting

open access: yesArchives of Civil Engineering, 2017
This paper presents an approach based on NURBS (non-uniform rational B-splines) to achieve a seismic response surface (SRS) from a group of points obtained by using an analytical model of RC joints.

Analysis of cross-ply laminated plates using isogeometric analysis and unified formulation

open access: yesCurved and Layered Structures, 2014
In this paper, we study the static bending and free vibration of cross-ply laminated composite plates using sinusoidal deformation theory. The plate kinematics is based on the recently proposed Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF), and the field variables ...

Analysis of the Flow Field from Connection Cones to Monolith Reactors

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
The connection cones between an exhaust pipe and an exhaust after-treatment system (EATS) will affect the flow into the first monolith. In this study, a new streamlined connection cone using non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) is applied to optimize ...

Optimal Design of Grooved Cam Profile Using Non-uniform Rational B-splines

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
In order to reduce the fatigue damage in grooved cam mechanisms, grooved cam profile was reconstructed with non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS). Considering joint friction, dynamic model of grooved cam mechanisms was established and the contact stress
