Numerical Analysis of the Cylindrical Shell Pipe with Preformed Holes Subjected to a Compressive Load Using Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines and T-Splines for an Isogeometric Analysis Approach

open access: yesAxioms
In this paper, we implement the finite detail technique primarily based on T-Splines for approximating solutions to the linear elasticity equations in the connected and bounded Lipschitz domain.

Development and Implementation of NURBS Models of Quadratic Curves and Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This article goes into the development of NURBS models of quadratic curves and surfaces. Curves and surfaces which could be represented by one general equation (one for the curves and one for the surfaces) are addressed. The research examines the curves:

Higher‐Order, Mixed‐Hybrid Finite Elements for Kirchhoff–Love Shells

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 21, 15 November 2025.
ABSTRACT A novel mixed‐hybrid method for Kirchhoff–Love shells is proposed that enables the use of classical, possibly higher‐order Lagrange elements in numerical analyses. In contrast to purely displacement‐based formulations that require higher continuity of shape functions as in isogeometric analysis (IGA), the mixed formulation features ...

A novel updating modelling methodology for free-form surface modifications in the early stages of design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The paper describes the first implementation of a method in which an initial CAD model is updated from a physical model. The method is based on image-mapping in which an initial CAD model is updated from images of a soft rapid prototype model (RPM) which

Isogeometric Analysis and Harmonic Stator-Rotor Coupling for Simulating Electric Machines

open access: yes, 2017
This work proposes Isogeometric Analysis as an alternative to classical finite elements for simulating electric machines. Through the spline-based Isogeometric discretization it is possible to parametrize the circular arcs exactly, thereby avoiding any ...

Novel Surface‐Based Bézier Metamaterials: A Higher Degree of Parametrization toward Tailoring the Effective Properties under Compression

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 22, November 2025.
Cubic Bézier curves are used in the synthesis of novel surface‐based metamaterials with tunable mechanical properties. Surface‐based geometries are 3D printed and tested in compression. The resulting mechanical properties are correlated to changes in the shape of the base curve, with high potential in energy absorption through the adjustment of their ...

NURBS Reconstruction and Optimization Method for the Tooth Surface after Simulation Process of Spiral Bevel Gear

open access: yesJixie chuandong, 2016
For lower accuracy of tooth surface of outputted model after simulation process for spiral bevel gear,some methods cubic NURBS reconstruction and optimization of tooth surface are proposed by combining with the advantages and features of the Non- Uniform

An experimental study to test a 3D laser Scanner for body measurement and 3D virtual garment design in Fashion education [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Artists, scientists, anthropometrists and tailors have accurately measured the human body with traditional tools, such as tape measures, callipers and accumulated visceral experience for centuries. Due to the progressive acceleration in the quality of 3D

A segmentation-free isogeometric extended mortar contact method

open access: yes, 2018
This paper presents a new isogeometric mortar contact formulation based on an extended finite element interpolation to capture physical pressure discontinuities at the contact boundary. The so called two-half-pass algorithm is employed, which leads to an

Comparing cranial biomechanics between Barbourofelis fricki and Smilodon fatalis: Is there a universal killing‐bite among saber‐toothed predators?

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2962-2975, November 2025.
Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐
