CAD-compatible structural shape optimization with a movable Bézier tetrahedral mesh
Jorge López, Cosmin Anitescu, Timon Rabczuk
This paper presents the development of a complete CAD-compatible framework for structural shape optimization in 3D. The boundaries of the domain are described using NURBS while the…
A discontinuous Galerkin method based isogeometric analysis framework for flexoelectricity in micro-architected dielectric solids
Saurav Sharma, Cosmin Anitescu, Timon Rabczuk
Flexoelectricity - the generation of electric field in response to a strain gradient - is a universal electromechanical coupling, dominant only at small scales due to its requireme…
Phase field method for quasi-static hydro-fracture in porous media under stress boundary condition considering the effect of initial stress field
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Timon Rabczuk
Phase field model (PFM) is an efficient fracture modeling method and has high potential for hydraulic fracturing (HF). However, the current PFMs in HF do not consider well the effe…
Phase field modeling of brittle compressive-shear fractures in rock-like materials: A new driving force and a hybrid formulation
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Timon Rabczuk
Compressive-shear fracture is commonly observed in rock-like materials. However, this fracture type cannot be captured by current phase field models (PFMs), which have been proven…
Phase field modeling of quasi-static and dynamic crack propagation: COMSOL implementation and case studies
Shuwei Zhou, Timon Rabczuk, Xiaoying Zhuang
The phase-field model (PFM) represents the crack geometry in a diffusive way without introducing sharp discontinuities. This feature enables PFM to effectively model crack propagat…
A NURBS-based Inverse Analysis for Reconstruction of Nonlinear Deformations of Thin Shell Structures
N. Vu-Bac, T. X. Duong, T. Lahmer +4
This article presents original work combining a NURBS-based inverse analysis with both kinematic and constitutive nonlinearities to recover the applied loads and deformations of th…
