This review paper discusses the developments in immersed or unfitted finite element
methods over the past decade. The main focus is the analysis and the treatment of the …

We review the treatment of trimmed geometries in the context of design, data exchange, and
computational simulation. Such models are omnipresent in current engineering modeling …

Stiffened thin-walled structures are widely used in various fields as load-carrying
components, but the process of design, analysis and optimization still remains challenging …

Following a series of recent innovations, isogeometric shell analysis based on trimmed CAD
surfaces is currently being developed into an accurate, efficient and mature design-through …

Abstract Isogeometric B-Rep Analysis (IBRA) was the first approach that enabled a full
integration of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) …

This work focuses on the coupling of trimmed shell patches using Isogeometric Analysis,
based on higher continuity splines that seamlessly meet the C 1 requirement of Kirchhoff …

A simple skew-symmetric Nitsche's formulation is introduced into the framework of
isogeometric analysis (IGA) to deal with various problems in small strain elasticity: essential …

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

In the 1970s during decomposition of hydrocarbons, small diameter carbon fibers were
observed, but because of limitation on characterization and measurement they were not …

For wind turbines operating in cold weather conditions, ice accretion is an established issue
that remains an obstacle in effective turbine operation. While the aerodynamic performance …
