This review presents developments in structural shape optimization post 2000 from
perspective of numerical analysis techniques. Traditional shape optimization with FEM has …

Isogeometric analysis (IGA), an approach that integrates CAE into conventional CAD design
tools, has been used in structural optimization for 10 years, with plenty of excellent research …

This paper presents an acoustic topology optimization approach using isogeometric
boundary element methods based on subdivision surfaces to optimize the distribution of …

Abstract Analysis-suitable T-splines (ASTS) including both extraordinary points and T-
junctions are used to solve Kirchhoff–Love shell problems. Extraordinary points are required …

This study proposes a new acoustic shape optimization approach by combining
isogeometric subdivision surfaces with the boundary element method. The geometry of the …

We develop a T-spline isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM)(Simpson et al.,
2012; Scott et al., 2013; Simpson et al., 2014) to shape sensitivity analysis and gradient …

G-splines are a generalization of B-splines that deals with extraordinary points by imposing
G 1 constraints across their spoke edges, thus obtaining a continuous tangent plane …

Isogeometric boundary element method is a computer simulation algorithm that can directly
utilize the data of a geometric model represented by its surface. Catmull-Clark subdivision …

Straight beams, rods and trusses are common elements in structural and mechanical
engineering, but recent advances in additive manufacturing now also enable efficient …

The large deformation frictional contact between shell structures is commonplace in
engineering applications like the sheet metal forming process. Due to the specific …
