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

NURBS-Python: An open-source object-oriented NURBS modeling framework in Python
We introduce NURBS-Python, an object-oriented, open-source, Pure Python NURBS evaluation library with no external dependencies. The library is capable of evaluating single or multiple NURBS curves and surfaces, provides a customizable visualization ...

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

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