A projected super-penalty method for the C1-coupling of multi-patch isogeometric Kirchhoff plates

This work focuses on the development of a super-penalty strategy based on the L2-projection of suitable coupling terms to achieve C1-continuity between non-conforming multi-patch isogeometric Kirchhoff plates. In particular, the choice of penalty parameter ...

Coupling of non-conforming trimmed isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shells via a projected super-penalty approach

Annalisa Buffa, Luca Coradello

Penalty methods have proven to be particularly effective for achieving the required C-1-continuity in the context of multi patch isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shells. Due to their conceptual simplicity, these algorithms are readily applicable to the displace ...

Hierarchically refined isogeometric analysis of trimmed shells

Luca Coradello, Alessandro Reali, Davide D'Angella

This work focuses on the study of several computational challenges arising when trimmed surfaces are directly employed for the isogeometric analysis of Kirchhoff-Love shells. To cope with these issues and to resolve mechanical and/or geometrical features o ...

Adaptive isogeometric analysis on two-dimensional trimmed domains based on a hierarchical approach

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Luca Coradello

The focus of this work is on the development of an error-driven isogeometric framework, capable of automatically performing an adaptive simulation in the context of second- and fourth-order, elliptic partial differential equations defined on two-dimensiona ...

A hierarchical approach to the a posteriori error estimation of isogeometric Kirchhoff plates and Kirchhoff–Love shells

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Luca Coradello

This work focuses on the development of a posteriori error estimates for fourth-order, elliptic, partial differential equations. In particular, we propose a novel algorithm to steer an adaptive simulation in the context of Kirchhoff plates and Kirchhoff–Lo ...
