This paper is motivated by the lack of studies in the technical literature concerning to vibration analysis of a single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) with corner cutout based on the nonlocal elasticity model framework of classical Kirchhoff thin plate. An isogeometric analysis (IGA) based upon non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) is employed for approximation of the L-shape SLGS deflection field. Trimming technique is employed to create the cutout in geometry of L-shape plate. The L-shape plate is assumed to be Free (F) in the straight edges of cutout while any arbitrary boundary conditions are applied to the other four straight edges including Simply supported (S), Clamped (C) and Free (F). The Numerical studies are carried out to express the influences of the nonlocal parameter, cutout dimensions, boundary conditions and mode numbers on the variations of the natural frequencies of SLGS. It is precisely shown that these parameters have considerable effects on the free vibration behavior of the system. In addition, numerical results are validated and compared with those achieved using other analysis, where an excellent agreement is found. The effectiveness and the accuracy of the present IGA approach have been demonstrated and it is shown that the IGA is efficient, robust and accurate in terms of nanoplate problems. This study serves as a benchmark for assessing the validity of numerical methods used to analyze the single-layered graphene sheet with corner cutout.

The main objective of this research paper is to consider vibration analysis of vacancy defected graphene sheet as a nonisotropic structure via molecular dynamic and continuum approaches. The influence of structural defects on the vibration of graphene sheets is considered by applying the mechanical properties of defected graphene sheets. Molecular dynamic simulations have been performed to estimate the mechanical properties of graphene as a nonisotropic structure with single- and double- vacancy defects using open source well-known software i.e., large-scale atomic/molecular massively parallel simulator (LAMMPS). The interactions between the carbon atoms are modelled using Adaptive Intermolecular Reactive Empirical Bond Order (AIREBO) potential. An isogeometric analysis (IGA) based upon non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) is employed for approximation of single-layered graphene sheets deflection field and the governing equations are derived using nonlocal elasticity theory. The dependence of small-scale effects, chirality and different defect types on vibrational characteristic of graphene sheets is investigated in this comprehensive research work. In addition, numerical results are validated and compared with those achieved using other analysis, where an excellent agreement is found. The interesting results indicate that increasing the number of missing atoms can lead to decrease the natural frequencies of graphene sheets. It is seen that the degree of the detrimental effects differ with defect type. The Young's and shear modulus of the graphene with SV defects are much smaller than graphene with DV defects. It is also observed that Single Vacancy (SV) clusters cause more reduction in the natural frequencies of SLGS than Double Vacancy (DV) clusters. The effectiveness and the accuracy of the present IGA approach have been demonstrated and it is shown that the IGA is efficient, robust and accurate in terms of nanoplate problems.

We utilized the isogeometric analysis (IGA) method that uses NURBS basis functions in CAD systems, to account for the geometric exactness of a geometrically exact beam deformation, on a new type of metamaterial, twist-translation coupled structure showing a large twist angle. A two-dimensional unit cell structure was embedded in a cylindrical wall, using free-form deformation and an appropriate interpolation scheme. A parametric study on the effects of the dimensions of the cylinder and the number of cells, on the twisting angle was performed. Furthermore, the mechanism of the twist-translation coupled metamaterial was explored through numerical examples.

Purpose: This study attempts at analyzing mechanical response of functionally graded material (FGM) plates in bending. An accurate and effective numerical approach based on isogeometric analysis (IGA) combined with higher-order shear deformation plate theory to predict the nonlinear flexural behavior is developed. Method: A higher-order shear deformation theory(HSDT) which accounts for the geometric nonlinearity in the von Karman sense is presented and used to derive the equilibrium and governing equations for FGM plate in bending. The nonlinear equations are solved by the modified Newton-Raphson iterative technique. Result: The volume fraction, plate length-to-thickness ratio and boundary condition have signifiant effects on the nonlinear flexural behavior of FGM plates. Conclusion: The proposed IGA method can be used as an accurate and effective numerical tool for analyzing the mechanical responses of FGM plates in flexure.

This paper presents the method for developing an optimum hull form with minimum wave resistance using SQP( sequential quadratic programming) as an optimization technique. The wave resistance is evaluated by a Rankine source panel method with non-linear free surface conditions and the ITTC 1957 friction line is used to predict the frictional resistance coefficient. The geometry of the hull surface is represented and modified using NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface patches. To verify the validity of the developed program the numerical calculations for Wigley hull and Series 60 Cb=0.6 hull are performed and the results obtained after the numerical calculations are compared with the initial hulls.

In the present work, LES with new variational multiscale method is conducted on the fully developed channel flow with Reynolds number, 180 based on the friction velocity and the channel half width. Incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are integrated using finite element method with the basis function of NURBS. To solve space-time equations, Newton's method with two stage predictor multicorrector algorithm is employed. The code is parallelized using MPI. The computational domain is a rectangular box of size $2{\pi}{\times}2{\times}4/3{\pi}$ in the streamwise, wall normal and spanwise direction. Mean velocity profiles and velocity fluctuations are compared with the data of DNS. The results agree well with those of DNS and other traditional LES.

변형방법은 물체의 일부분 혹은 전체를 사용자가 원하는 결과의 형태로 변형하는 것으로서, 복잡하고 다양한 자유 형태 곡면들을 모델링하는데 필수적인 방법이다. 이러한 객체들을 제어하기 위한 기존의 방법은 접선벡터와 경계 교차 곡선들로 구성되는 패치들을 정의하고, 물체상의 이동된 점들에 대한 변화량을 계산하기 위하여 많은 계산량이 필요한 문제점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 분할 경계 패치들을 이용하여 이러한 문제점들을 해결한 새로운 구간 변형 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 물체상의 변화량을 분할 경계 곡선에 필요한 형태 제어점으로 간주하여 형태 제어점을 이용하여 불규칙한 패치들을 계산하고 이를 이용하여 접속과 제어 및 국부수정의 변형 제어 방법을 제안한다. 또한 NURBs 보간을 이용하여 변형범위를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다.

Turbulent flows with wavy wall are simulated using Residual-based Variational Multiscale Method (RB-VMS) which is proposed by Bazilves et al(2007) as new Large Eddy Simulation methodology. Incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are integrated using Isogeometric analysis which adopt the basis function as NURBS. The Reynolds number is 6760 based on the bulk velocity and averaged channel height. And the amplitude (${\alpha}/{\lambda}$) of wavy wall is 0.05. The computational domain is $2{\lambda}{\times}1.05{\lambda}{\times}{\lambda}$ in the streamwise, wall normal and spanwise direction. Mean quantities and turbulent statistics near wavy wall are compared with DNS results of Cherukat et al.(1998). The predicted results show good agreement with reference data.

Conventional solid or surface modeling systems cannot represent both the complete solid model and the abstract model in a unified framework. Recently, non-manifold modeling systems are proposed to solve this problem. This paper describes FlexDesigner, an open kernel system for modeling non-manifold models. It summarizes the data structure for non-manifold models, system design methodology, system modularization, and the typical characteristics of each module in the system. A data structure based on partial-topological elements is adopted to represent the relationship among topological elements. It is efficient in the usage of memory and has topological completeness compared with other published data structures. It can handle many non-manifold situations such as isolate vertices, dangling edges, dangling faces, a mixed dimensional model, and a cellular model. FlexDesigner is modularized hierarchically and designed by the object-oriented methodology for reusability. FlexDesigner is developed using the C++ and OpenGL on both SGI workstation and IBM PC.

컴퓨터 기술이 발전함에 따라 3 차원 입력시스템을 통한 모델링이 가능하게 되었다. 2 차원 시스템은 평면 입력을 공간상의 데이터로 바꾸기 위한 많은 기능과 메뉴들이 존재하지만 3 차원 시스템에서는 그러한 복잡한 기능 없이 입력 데이터가 곧바로 모델링에 적용될 수 있다. 하지만 아직까지 3 차원 입력시스템에서 모델링을 수행하는 디자이너에게 익숙한 스케치 방법을 고려하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 디자이너에게 가장 익숙한 모델링 방법은 스케치북에 선으로 그림을 그리는 것이기 때문에, 모델을 변형하는 방법은 이를 벗어나지 않도록 해야 한다. 평면 스케치에서 디자이너가 그리는 선은 모델의 윤곽을 잡아주고 모델의 특징이 되는 부분을 표현하게 된다. 이러한 선의 입력을 통한 스케치를 3 차원 모델링에서 그대로 사용하기 위해서는 공간에서의 점이나 면이 아닌 선의 입력을 모델링에 적용할 수 있어야 한다.
