About this document
Isogeometric Analysis of Rod Structures by ficuni is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes a new numerical formulation for analyzing rod-like structures undergoing large deformations. The rod is modeled as a full three-dimensional continuum but is parameterized by only surface control points using Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS). This allows the geometry to be smoothly mapped between a canonical cylindrical domain and the physical rod body. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate that the method can consider lateral deformations while preserving geometric sm
