Isogeometric Analysis using T-splines
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore T-splines, a generalization of NURBS enabling local refinement, as a basis for isogeometric analysis. We review T-splines as a surface design methodology and then develop it for engineering analysis applications. We test T-splines on some elementary twodimensional and three-dimensional fluid and structural analysis problems and attain good results in all cases. We summarize current limitations and future opportunities.

متن کاملAdaptive isogeometric analysis using rational PHT-splines
Polynomial splines over hierarchical T-meshes (PHT-splines) have an efficient and simple local refinement algorithm, but fail to represent exactly certain complex engineering geometries. In this paper, based on the current isogeometric framework, we overcome the drawbacks of PHT-splines by extending these to Rational PHT-splines (RPHT-splines), and explore RPHT-splines as the basis for analysis...
متن کاملIsogeometric-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...
متن کاملOn the Nesting Behavior of T-splines
We establish rigorously the fundamental nesting behavior of T-spline spaces in terms of the topology of the T-mesh. This provides a theoretical foundation for local refinement algorithms based on analysis-suitable T-splines and their use in isogeometric analysis. A key result is a dimension formula for smooth polynomial spline spaces defined over the Bézier mesh of a T-spline.
متن کاملStable Isogeometric Analysis of Trimmed Geometries
We explore extended B-splines as a stable basis for isogeometric analysis with trimmed parameter spaces. The stabilization is accomplished by an appropriate substitution of Bsplines that may lead to ill-conditioned system matrices. The construction for non-uniform knot vectors is presented. The properties of extended B-splines are examined in the context of interpolation, potential, and linear ...
