چکیده

We present an introduction to Isogeometric Analysis, a new methodology for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) based on a synthesis of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technologies. A prime motivation for the development of Isogeometric Analysis is to simplify the process of building detailed analysis models for complex engineering systems from CAD representations, a major bottleneck in the overall engineering process. However, we also show that Isogeometric Analysis is a powerful methodology for providing more accurate solutions of PDEs, and we summarize recently obtained mathematical results and describe open problems.

IMPOSITION OF ESSENTIAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS IN ISOGEOMETRIC ANALYSIS USING THE LAGRANGE MULTIPLIER METHOD

NURBS-based isogeometric analysis (IGA) has currently been applied as a new numerical method in a considerable range of engineering problems. Due to non-interpolatory characteristic of NURBS basis functions, the properties of Kronecker Delta are not satisfied in IGA, and as a consequence, the imposition of essential boundary condition needs special treatment. The main contribution of this study...

NURBS-Based Isogeometric Analysis Method Application to Mixed-Mode Computational Fracture Mechanics

An interaction integral method for evaluating mixed-mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) for two dimensional crack problems using NURBS-based isogeometric analysis method is investigated. The interaction integral method is based on the path independent J-integral. By introducing a known auxiliary field solution, the mixed-mode SIFs are calculated simultaneously. Among features of B-spline basis...

Isogeometric-Based Modeling and Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates Under Transverse Loading

Analysis of the laminated composite plates under transverse loading is considered using the new method of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines(NURBS)are used as shape functions for modeling the geometry of the structure and also are used as shape functions in the analysis process. To show robustness of the new technique, some examples are represented and are compared with...

Analysis of thin plates by a combination of isogeometric analysis and the Lagrange multiplier approach

The isogeometric analysis is increasingly used in various engineering problems. It is based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) basis function applied for the solution field approximation and the geometry description. One of the major concerns with this method is finding an efficient approach to impose essential boundary conditions, especially for inhomogeneous boundaries. The main contri...
