Journal ArticleDOI

A phase-field description of dynamic brittle fracture

TL;DR: It is shown that the combination of the phase-field model and local adaptive refinement provides an effective method for simulating fracture in three dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isogeometric analysis using T-splines

TL;DR: T-splines, a generalization of NURBS enabling local refinement, have been explored as a basis for isogeometric analysis in this paper, and they have shown good results on some elementary two-dimensional and three-dimensional fluid and structural analysis problems and attain good results in all cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isogeometric finite element data structures based on Bézier extraction of T-splines

TL;DR: It is shown that the extraction operator and Bézier elements provide an element structure for isogeometric analysis that can be easily incorporated into existing finite element codes, without any changes to element form and assembly algorithms, and standard data processing arrays.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Isogeometric design-through-analysis methodology based on adaptive hierarchical refinement of NURBS, immersed boundary methods, and T-spline CAD surfaces

TL;DR: It is shown that hierarchical refinement considerably increases the flexibility of this approach by adaptively resolving local features of NURBS, which combines full analysis suitability of the basis with straightforward implementation in tree data structures and simple generalization to higher dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local refinement of analysis-suitable T-splines

TL;DR: A local refinement algorithm for analysis-suitable T-splines which does not produce excessive propagation of control points is developed and its use as an adaptive framework for isogeometric analysis is demonstrated.
