The finite cell method (FCM) belongs to the class of immersed boundary methods, and combines the fictitious domain approach with high-order approximation, adaptive integration and weak imposition of unfitted Dirichlet boundary conditions. Its main idea con ...
In this note we introduce a vector generalization of fractional Brownian motion. Our definition takes into account directional properties of vector fields-such as divergence, rotational behaviour, and interactions with coordinate transformations-that have ...

We introduce a new discretization scheme for Maxwell equations in two space dimension. Inspired by the new paradigm of Isogeometric analysis introduced in Hughes et al. (2005) [16], we propose an algorithm based on the use of bivariate B-splines spaces sui ...
The mathematical facet of modern crystallography is essentially based on analytical geometry, linear algebra as well as group theory. This study endeavours to approach the geometry and symmetry of crystals using the tools furnished by differential geometry ...
Nanostencils are used in dynamic mode to pattern on top of flexible substrates. As the stencil is moving during the material evaporation, the obtained structures are the convolution between the stencil trajectory and the apertures’ geometry. Variable-thick ...

In high-speed dry milling of thin-walled parts, the cutter-workpiece temperature rises asymptotically with cutting speed, causing excessive cutter tooth wear and workpiece thermal expansion, which in turn reduces the cutter life and produces dimensional an ...
Iterative models are widely used today in CAD. They allow, with a limited number of parameters, to represent relatively complex forms through a subdivision algorithm. There is a wide variety of such models (Catmull-Clark, Doo-Sabin, L-Systems...). Most ite ...
This work investigates on computer aided integrated architectural design and production. The aim is to provide integral solutions for the design and the production of geometrically complex free-form architecture. Investigations on computer aided geometric ...
The aim of our research is to develop a powerful tool for the generation and the fabrication of free-form architecture. Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as free ...
