Local Hierarchical h-Refinements in IgA Based on Generalized B-Splines
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we construct multilevel representations in terms of a hierarchy of tensor-product generalized B-splines. These representations combine the positive properties of a non-rational model with the possibility of dealing with local refinements. We discuss their use in the context of isogeometric analysis.

Adaptive CAD model (re-)construction with THB-splines
Computer Aided Design (CAD) software libraries rely on the tensor-product NURBS model as standard spline technology. However, in applications of industrial complexity, this mathematical model does not provide sufficient flexibility as an effective geometric modeling option. In particular, the multivariate tensor–product construction precludes the design of adaptive spline representations that s...
متن کاملISOGEOMETRIC TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES USING LEVEL SET METHOD INCORPORATING SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
This study focuses on the topology optimization of structures using a hybrid of level set method (LSM) incorporating sensitivity analysis and isogeometric analysis (IGA). First, the topology optimization problem is formulated using the LSM based on the shape gradient. The shape gradient easily handles boundary propagation with topological changes. In the LSM, the topological gradient method as ...
متن کاملAdaptively refined multi-patch B-splines with enhanced smoothness
A spline space suitable for Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) on multi-patch domains is presented. Our construction is motivated by emerging requirements in isogeometric simulations. In particular, IgA spaces should allow for adaptive mesh refinement and they should guarantee the optimal smoothness of the discretized solution, even across interfaces of adjacent patches. Given a domain manifold M cons...
متن کاملConversion between T-Splines and Hierarchical B-Splines
T-splines is a recently developed surface modelling technique which is a generalization of B-splines and allows true local refinement. Another well established method supporting local refinement is hierarchical B-splines. This paper presents algorithms for transformation between T-splines and hierarchical (rational) B-splines. With the transformation, a surface expressed in terms of T-splines c...
متن کاملA Versatile Strategy for the Implementation of Adaptive Splines
This paper presents an implementation framework for spline spaces over T-meshes (and their d-dimensional analogs). The aim is to share code between the implementation of several spline spaces. This is achieved by reducing evaluation to a generalized Bézier extraction. The approach was tested by implementing hierarchical B-splines, truncated hierarchical B-splines, decoupled hierarchical B-splin...
