Interpolating Isogeometric Boundary Node Method and Isogeometric Boundary Element Method Based on Parameter Space

Isogeometric Boundary Element Method with Hierarchical Matrices

In this work we address the complexity problem of the isogeometric Boundary Element Method by proposing a collocation scheme for practical problems in linear elasticity and the application of hierarchical matrices. For mixed boundary value problems, a block system of matrices – similar to Galerkin formulations – is constructed allowing an effective application of that matrix format. We introduc...

Fast Isogeometric Boundary Element Method based on Independent Field Approximation

An isogeometric boundary element method for problems in elasticity is presented, which is based on an independent approximation for the geometry, traction and displacement field. This enables a flexible choice of refinement strategies, permits an efficient evaluation of geometry related information, a mixed collocation scheme which deals with discontinuous tractions along non-smooth boundaries ...

An ’a Priori’ Model Reduction for Isogeometric Boundary Element Method

Shape-Newton Method for Isogeometric Discretizations of Free-Boundary Problems

We derive Newton-type solution algorithms for a Bernoulli-type freeboundary problem at the continuous level. The Newton schemes are obtained by applying Hadamard shape derivatives to a suitable weak formulation of the freeboundary problem. At each Newton iteration, an updated free boundary position is obtained by solving a boundary-value problem at the current approximate domain. Since the boun...

A Robust Multigrid Method for Isogeometric Analysis using Boundary Correction

The fast solution of linear systems arising from an isogeometric discretization of a partial differential equation is of great importance for the practical use of Isogeometric Analysis. For classical finite element discretizations, multigrid methods are well known to be fast solvers showing optimal convergence behavior. However, if a geometric multigrid solver is naively applied to a linear sys...
