NURBS-Enhanced Finite Element Method (NEFEM)

A NURBS-enhanced Discontinuity-Enriched Finite Element Method

Generalized finite element methods have proved a great potential in the mesh-independent modeling of both weak and strong discontinuities, such as the ones encountered when treating materials with inclusions or cracks. By removing the constraint of a conforming mesh, more freedom is offered to modeling exact geometries by means of splines. However, very few studies have been published which com...

NURBS-Based Adaptive Finite Element Analysis

An Enhanced Finite Element method for Two Dimensional Linear Viscoelasticity using Complex Fourier Elements

In this paper, the finite element analysis of two-dimensional linear viscoelastic problems is performed using quadrilateral complex Fourier elements and, the results are compared with those obtained by quadrilateral classic Lagrange elements. Complex Fourier shape functions contain a shape parameter which is a constant unknown parameter adopted to enhance approximation’s accuracy. Since the iso...

A NURBS Enhanced eXtended Finite Element Approach for Unfitted CAD Analysis

SUMMARY A NURBS Enhanced eXtended Finite Element Approach is proposed for the unfitted simulation of structures defined by means of CAD parametric surfaces. In contrast to classical X-FEM that uses levelsets to define the geometry of the computational domain, exact CAD description is considered here. Following the ideas developed in the context of the NURBS-Enhanced Finite Element Method, NURBS...

بررسی جواب های کامپکتون معادلات دیفرانسیل غیرخطی با استفاده از finite element method

کامپکتون ها، سالیتون هایی با پهنای محدود هستند. معادلات(k(m,n به ازای مقادیر خاصی از m و n دارای جواب کامپکتون هستند. از جمله این معادلات، معادلات (k(2,2 و (k(3,3 است. به دلیل خاصیت شبه ذره ای کامپکتون ها، این امواج بسیار مورد توجه فیزیکدانان قرار گرفته اند. برای بررسی کامپکتون ها، روش های عددی بسیاری وجود دارد. یکی از این روش ها که می توان برای حل این معادلات از آن استفاده کرد، روش المان های م...
