In order to perform isogeometric analysis with increased smoothness on complex domains,
trimming, variational coupling or unstructured spline methods can be used. The latter two …

Isogeometric shape optimization uses a unique model for the geometric description and for
the analysis. The benefits are multiple: in particular, it avoids tedious procedures related to …

This paper presents a multiscale computational framework able to resolve localized defects
and features such as cracks and welds in large structures. It couples Abaqus models and 3 …

Computational micromechanics appears of the utmost importance, especially in the current
context of digital twins in mechanics of materials. The objective here is to develop an …

In continuation of a membrane locking-free isogeometric thin-shell formulation for linear and
nonlinear analyses, this contribution introduces an extension to trimmed patches in …

This paper extends our previous work on the isogeometric dynamic buckling analysis of thin-
shell structures to the trimmed and multipatch situation where features such as cutouts and …

Complex geometric models are usually built with multiple NURBS patches with non-
conforming interfaces, which bring difficulties within the isogeometric analysis. In this paper …

Abstract Originally, Isogeometric Analysis is aimed at using geometric models for the
structural analysis. The actual realization of this objective to complex real-world structures …

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) consists of using the same higher-order and smooth spline
functions for the representation of geometry in Computer Aided Design as for the …

In isogeometric analysis (IGA) the domain of interest is usually represented by B-spline or
NURBS patches, as they are present in standard CAD models. Complex domains can often …
