With the aim of a seamless integration with Computer-Aided Design, Isogeometric Analysis has been proposed by Hughes et al. (2005) as a numerical technique for the solution of partial differential equations. Indeed, isogeometric analysis is based on splines, the same functions ...
A General Class of C1 Smooth Rational Splines
Application to Construction of Exact Ellipses and Ellipsoids
In this paper, we describe a general class of C1 smooth rational splines that enables, in particular, exact descriptions of ellipses and ellipsoids — some of the most important primitives for CAD and CAE. The univariate rational splines are assembled by transforming ...
The divergence-conforming immersed boundary method
Application to vesicle and capsule dynamics
We extend the recently introduced divergence-conforming immersed boundary (DCIB) method [1] to fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving closed co-dimension one solids. We focus on capsules and vesicles, whose discretization is particularly challenging due to the hi ...
Isogeometric discrete differential forms: Non-uniform degrees, Bezier extraction, polar splines and flows on surfaces
Non-uniform degrees, Bézier extraction, polar splines and flows on surfaces
In this paper we study the dimension of splines of mixed smoothness on axis-aligned T-meshes. This is the setting when different orders of smoothness are required across the edges of the mesh. Given a spline space whose dimension is independent of its T-mesh's geometric embedd ...
Multi-degree B-splines
Algorithmic computation and properties
This paper addresses theoretical considerations behind the algorithmic computation of polynomial multi-degree spline basis functions as presented in Toshniwal et al. (2017). The approach in Toshniwal et al. (2017) breaks from the reliance on computation of integrals recursivel ...
Analysis-suitable T-splines (ASTS) including both extraordinary points and T-junctions are used to solve Kirchhoff–Love shell problems. Extraordinary points are required to represent surfaces with arbitrary topological genus. T-junctions enable local refinement of regions wher ...
A tchebycheffian extension of multidegree B-splines
Algorithmic computation and properties
In this paper, we present an efficient and robust approach to compute a normalized B-spline-like basis for spline spaces with pieces drawn from extended Tchebycheff spaces. The extended Tchebycheff spaces and their dimensions are allowed to change from interval to interval. Th ...
Polynomial splines of non-uniform degree on triangulations
Combinatorial bounds on the dimension
For T a planar triangulation, let Rm r(T) denote the space of bivariate splines on T such that f∈Rm r(T) is Cr(τ) smooth across an interior edge τ and, for triangle σ in T, f|σ is a polynomial of total degree at ...
