Isogeometric treatment of large deformation contact and debonding problems with T-splines: a review

Rossana Dimitri (2015)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

Within a setting where the isogeometric analysis (IGA) has been successful at bringing two different research fields together, i.e. Computer Aided Design (CAD) and numerical analysis, T-spline IGA is applied in this work to frictionless contact and mode-I debonding problems between deformable bodies in the context of large deformations. Based on the concept of IGA, the smooth basis functions are adopted to describe surface geometries and approximate the numerical solutions, leading to...

A note on tension spline

Segeth, Karel

Similarity:

Spline theory is mainly grounded on two approaches: the algebraic one (where splines are understood as piecewise smooth functions) and the variational one (where splines are obtained via minimization of quadratic functionals with constraints). We show that the general variational approach called smooth interpolation introduced by Talmi and Gilat covers not only the cubic spline but also the well known tension spline (called also spline in tension or spline with tension). We present the...

Application of splines for determining the velocity characteristic of a medium from a vertical seismic survey

Vladimir Bogdanov, Wladimir Karsten, Valeriy Miroshnichenko, Yuriy Volkov (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

A method for solving the inverse kinematic problem of determining the velocity characteristic of a medium from a vertical seismic survey, is proposed. It is based on the combined use of the eikonal equation and spline methods of approximation for multivariable functions. The problem is solved by assuming a horizontally stratified medium; no assumptions about the number of layers and their thickness are made. First, using the data of the first arrival times of the seismic signal from...
