Nitsche’s method for two and three dimensional NURBS patch coupling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a Nitche’s method to couple non-conforming two and three-dimensional NURBS (Non Uniform Rational B-splines) patches in the context of isogeometric analysis (IGA). We present results for linear elastostatics in two and and three-dimensions. The method can deal with surface-surface or volume-volume coupling, and we show how it can be used to handle heterogeneities such as inclusions. We also present preliminary results on modal analysis. This simple coupling method has the potential to increase the applicability of NURBS-based isogeometric analysis for practical applications.

Local enrichment of NURBS patches using a non-intrusive coupling strategy: Geometric details, local refinement, inclusion, fracture
In this work, we apply a non-intrusive global/local coupling strategy for the modelling of local phenomena in a NURBS patch. The idea is to consider the NURBS patch to be enriched as the global model. This results in a simple, flexible strategy: first, the global NURBS patch remains unchanged, which completely eliminates the need for costly re-parametrization procedures (even if the local domai...
متن کاملCoupling Nonlinear Element Free Galerkin and Linear Galerkin Finite Volume Solver for 2D Modeling of Local Plasticity in Structural Material
This paper introduces a computational strategy to collaboratively develop the Galerkin Finite Volume Method (GFVM) as one of the most straightforward and efficient explicit numerical methods to solve structural problems encountering material nonlinearity in a small limited area, while the remainder of the domain represents a linear elastic behavior. In this regard, the Element Free Galerkin met...
متن کاملNURBS-Based Isogeometric Analysis Method Application to Mixed-Mode Computational Fracture Mechanics
An interaction integral method for evaluating mixed-mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) for two dimensional crack problems using NURBS-based isogeometric analysis method is investigated. The interaction integral method is based on the path independent J-integral. By introducing a known auxiliary field solution, the mixed-mode SIFs are calculated simultaneously. Among features of B-spline basis...
متن کاملAn Improved N-dimensional NURBs-based Metamodel
Non Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBs) are proved to be very promising for metamodeling in engineering problems, because they have unique properties such as local modification scheme, strong convex hull property, and infinitely differentiability, etc. Since NURBs are defined by control points, knot vector, and weights associated with control points, the precision of NURBs is influenced by all o...
متن کاملOn methods for stabilizing constraints over enriched interfaces in elasticity
Enriched finite element approaches such as the extended finite element method provide a framework for constructing approximations to solutions of non-smooth problems. Internal features, such as boundaries, are represented in such methods by using discontinuous enrichment of the standard finite element basis. Within such frameworks, however, imposition of interface constraints and/or constitutiv...
