Methods for 3D evaluation and quantification of gingival recessions and gingival margin changes: Advancements from conventional techniques

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract In an era of increasing life expectancy and growing patient demands towards lifelong natural tooth retention, accurate assessment of gingival recessions is crucial for diagnosing periodontal diseases, planning preventive or restorative interventions, and evaluating their outcomes.

From geometric design to numerical analysis: A direct approach using the Finite Cell Method on Constructive Solid Geometry

open access: yes, 2017
During the last ten years, increasing efforts were made to improve and simplify the process from Computer Aided Design (CAD) modeling to a numerical simulation. It has been shown that the transition from one model to another, i.e.

A Novel Mixed‐Hybrid, Higher‐Order Accurate Formulation for Kirchhoff–Love Shells

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel mixed‐hybrid finite element formulation for Kirchhoff–Love shells, designed to enable the use of standard C0$C^0$‐continuous higher‐order Lagrange elements. This is possible by introducing the components of the moment tensor as a primary unknown alongside the displacement vector, circumventing the need for C1$C^1 ...

IGS: an IsoGeometric approach for Smoothing on surfaces

open access: yes, 2016
We propose an Isogeometric approach for smoothing on surfaces, namely estimating a function starting from noisy and discrete measurements. More precisely, we aim at estimating functions lying on a surface represented by NURBS, which are geometrical ...

An Efficient Geometrically‐Exact Nonlinear Shell Formulation Based on Rodrigues Parameters

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Thin‐walled structures are part of many engineering applications, as wind turbine blades, pressure vessels, and sheet metal products. A thin‐walled structure is characterized by one significantly smaller dimension compared to the others.

A Toolpath Planning Method for Optical Freeform Surface Ultra-Precision Turning Based on NURBS Surface Curvature

open access: yesMachines, 2023
As the applications for freeform optical surfaces continue to grow, the need for high-precision machining methods is becoming more and more of a necessity. Different toolpath strategies for the ultra-high precision turning of freeform surfaces can have a

A Comprehensive Library of Stenosis Geometrical Models: Review and Guidelines for Hemodynamic Simulations and Stent Design

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Classification of blood flow regimes: Spatial variation of endothelial shear stress (ESS) patterns across an atherosclerotic lesion. ABSTRACT Accurate geometrical representation of stenosis is essential for stent design, surgical planning, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, as even minor shape variations significantly alter hemodynamic

Fitting Terrestrial Laser Scanner Point Clouds with T-Splines: Local Refinement Strategy for Rigid Body Motion

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
T-splines have recently been introduced to represent objects of arbitrary shapes using a smaller number of control points than the conventional non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) or B-spline representatizons in computer-aided design, computer ...

Biomechanical Analysis and Injury Prediction in Pilots With Lumbar Spondylolysis Under Different Seat Inclination Angles

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
The biomechanical responses of three lumbar models under both seat angles remain below injury thresholds. However, the occurrence of spondylolysis at a 22° angle poses a higher risk. ABSTRACT Background This study aims to quantify the biomechanical effects of different seat inclinations on the normal and spondylolysis lumbar of pilots under typical ...

Multi-patch discontinuous Galerkin isogeometric analysis for wave propagation: explicit time-stepping and efficient mass matrix inversion

open access: yes, 2018
We present a class of spline finite element methods for time-domain wave propagation which are particularly amenable to explicit time-stepping. The proposed methods utilize a discontinuous Galerkin discretization to enforce continuity of the solution ...
