主题：Image-Based Mesh Generation and Volumetric Spline Modeling for Isogeometric Analysis with Engineering Applications
欢迎广大师生参会学习交流！
Abstract:
In this talk, I will highlight our research on image-based mesh generation for complicated domains, trivariate spline modeling for isogeometric analysis (IGA), as well as biomedical, materials science and engineering applications. I will first present advances and challenges in image-based geometric modeling and meshing along with a comprehensive computational framework, which integrates image processing, geometric modeling and mesh generation with multi-scale analysis at molecular, cellular, tissue and organ scales. Then, I will present a centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT) based surface segmentation method to build polycubes, which are used to generate volumetric control meshes via parametric mapping. After that, truncated hierarchical spline basis functions are derived to enable partition of unity and linear independence. Furthermore, blended B-spline and hybrid nonuniform subdivision approaches are developed to construct basis functions around extraordinary nodes, achieving an optimal convergence rate of IGA. The developed platforms have been incorporated into Rhino, Abaqus and LS-DYNA for engineering applications.
