Isogeometric analysis was proposed to bridge the gap between computer-aided design and numerical discretization. However, standard multi-patch isogeometric analysis mandates conformal discretizations across patch interfaces, posing…
We introduce a varying-order (VO) NURBS discretization method to enhance the performance of the IGA technique for three-dimensional large deformation frictional contact problems. Based on the promising results obtained with the previous…
For linear elastic problems, it is well-known that mesh generation dominates the total analysis time. Different types of methods have been proposed to directly or indirectly alleviate this burden associated with mesh generation. We review…
We present a novel isogeometric method, namely the Immersed Boundary-Conformal Method (IBCM), that features a layer of discretization conformal to the boundary while employing a simple background mesh for the remaining domain. In this…
The isometric embedding of surfaces in three-dimensional space is fundamental to various physical systems, from elastic sheets to programmable materials. While continuous surfaces typically admit unique solutions under suitable boundary…

Immersed boundary methods are high-order accurate computational tools used to model geometrically complex problems in computational mechanics. While traditional finite element methods require the construction of high-quality boundary-fitted…
The simulation of certain flow problems requires a means for modeling a free fluid surface; examples being viscoelastic die swell or fluid sloshing in tanks. In a finite-element context, this type of problem can, among many other options,…
Internal interfaces in a domain could exist as a material defect or they can appear due to propagations of cracks. Discretization of such geometries and solution of the contact problem on the internal interfaces can be computationally…
We present a flexible discretization technique for computational models of thin tubular networks embedded in a bulk domain, for example a porous medium. These systems occur in the simulation of fluid flow in vascularized biological tissue,…
We describe a method for discretizing planar C2-regular domains immersed in non-conforming triangulations. The method consists in constructing mappings from triangles in a background mesh to curvilinear ones that conform exactly to the…
In this paper, we present a NURBS-enhanced finite element method that integrates the NURBS-based boundary representation of a geometric domain into a standard finite element framework for hexahedral meshes. We decompose an open, bounded,…

Unfitted (also known as embedded or immersed) finite element approximations of partial differential equations are very attractive because they have much lower geometrical requirements than standard body-fitted formulations. These schemes do…
This paper presents the development of a complete CAD-compatible framework for structural shape optimization in 3D. The boundaries of the domain are described using NURBS while the interior is discretized with B\'ezier tetrahedra. The…
The immersed boundary method is an approach to fluid-structure interaction that uses a Lagrangian description of the structural deformations, stresses, and forces along with an Eulerian description of the momentum, viscosity, and…
