Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a framework bridging the gap between Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). So it drastically reduces the error in [...]

For the last several decades, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been a powerful tool in solving challenging science and engineering problems, especially when solution d[...]

In contrast to hard automation, which relies on the precise knowledge of all parameters and special-purpose machinery, the goal of flexible assembly is to overcome the i[...]

The design basis functions in IGA are refined and enhanced by extra enrichment functions and various local refinements with the use of partition of unity (PU) functions w[...]
