Isogeometric Analysis: Toward Integration of CAD and FEA 1st Edition by J. Austin Cottrell (PDF)

Description

“The authors are the originators of isogeometric analysis, are excellent scientists and good educators. It is very original. There is no other book on this topic.” —René de Borst, Eindhoven University of Technology Written by leading experts in the field and featuring fully integrated colour throughout, Isogeometric Analysis provides a groundbreaking solution for the integration of CAD and FEA technologies. Tom Hughes and his researchers, Austin Cottrell and Yuri Bazilevs, present their pioneering isogeometric approach, which aims to integrate the two techniques of CAD and FEA using precise NURBS geometry in the FEA application. This technology offers the potential to revolutionise automobile, ship and airplane design and analysis by allowing models to be designed, tested and adjusted in one integrative stage.Providing a systematic approach to the topic, the authors begin with a tutorial introducing the foundations of Isogeometric Analysis, before advancing to a comprehensive coverage of the most recent developments in the technique. The authors offer a clear explanation as to how to add isogeometric capabilities to existing finite element computer programs, demonstrating how to implement and use the technology. Detailed programming examples and datasets are included to impart a thorough knowledge and understanding of the material.Provides examples of different applications, showing the reader how to implement isogeometric modelsAddresses readers on both sides of the CAD/FEA divideDescribes Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) basis functions

Editorial Reviews: Review “This is the most beautiful scientific book that I have ever seen. (I am excluding popular science books from this statement; this book matches some of them in its beauty.) The authors, editors and publishers should be congratulated for giving so much attention not just to the content but also to the way the book looks. It is extremely inviting to read.” (Iacm Expressions, 1 October 2010) From the Inside Flap “The authors are the originators of isogeometric analysis, are excellent scientists and good educators.

Austin Cottrell, Thomas J. R. Hughes & Yuri Basilievs, University of Texas at Austin, USAJ. Austin Cottrell is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Texas at Austin, having received his PhD in Computational and Applied Mathematics in 2007. Isogeometric analysis is a topic pioneered by his graduate research under the supervision of Tom Hughes. Tom Hughes was a leading professor of mechanical engineering at Stanford University before being lured to join the University of Texas at Austin in 2002 as Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics within the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences. He is co-editor of the International Journal of Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, a founder and past President of USACM and IACM, and past Chairman of the Applied Mechanics Division of ASME. A world leader in the development of the finite element method, he has received the Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize from ASCE, the Melville Medal from ASME, the Computational Mechanics Award from the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, the von Neumann Medal from USACM, the Gauss-Newton Medal from IACM, and the Worcester Reed Warner Medal from ASME. Dr. Hughes is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Yuri Basilievs also obtained his PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in 2007 under the supervision of Tom Hughes. Read more

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐the book itself is a great book, but it’s binding is horrible. several pages come off on the first day.

⭐This book can turn out to be a revolutionary step forward in Structural Analysis and not only.

⭐Great contribution to the new computational approach.

⭐Awesome book, excellent seller!

⭐Isogeometric analysis has been widely applied in many areas since the authors proposed this method in 2005. This book is very original, and if you want to have a basic idea of this method, I would recommend you to read a journal paper titled “Isogeometric analysis: CAD, finite elements, NURBS, exact geometry and mesh refinement” .

⭐This is the original monograph from the inventors of the Isogeometric Analysis scheme.Its easy to read and understand.Lastly,it comes with some tools to aid in coding and manypractical aspects which makes it an interesting read for engineers too.Currently,this is the only book on this topic.

⭐This book is a very exhaustive survey on the Isogeometric analysis, with an extensive references list and several code examples that can help the reader in getting deeper into the practical application of this method.
