Yuri Bazilev Colloquium: “Isogeometric Methods for Solids, Structures, and Fluid-Structure Interaction: From Early Results to Recent Developments”

Towne 337 PA, United States

Abstract: This presentation is focused on Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) with applications to solids and structures, starting with early developments and results, and transitioning to more recent work. Novel IGA-based thin-shell formulations are discussed, and applications to progressive damage modeling in composite laminates due to low-velocity impact and their residual-strength prediction are shown. Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) employing […]
