In this article, we provide a detailed survey of techniques for hexahedral mesh generation.
We cover the whole spectrum of alternative approaches to mesh generation, as well as post …

Inspired by natural cellular materials such as trabecular bone, lattice structures have been
developed as a new type of lightweight material. In this paper we present a novel method to …

Fracton models, a collection of exotic gapped lattice Hamiltonians recently discovered in
three spatial dimensions, contain some “topological” features: They support fractional bulk …

Previous researchers focused on enhancing the heat transfer rates of heat exchangers
using developments on the tube-side components. Nevertheless, the performance of the …

Background Virtual cutting of deformable objects has been a research topic for more than a
decade and has been used in many areas, especially in surgery simulation. Methods We …

The lack of a compelling tool to automatically or semi-automatically create analysis-suitable
spline spaces hampers the progress of the isogeometric framework. In this work, we review …

The boundary representation or B-rep is the prevalent geometry description in computer
aided design (CAD). It combines aspects from explicit and implicit geometry and is …

Smooth curves and surfaces can be characterized as minimizers of squared curvature
bending energies subject to constraints. In the univariate case with an isometry (length) …

Isogeometric analysis has received extensive attention in the last decade, but despite its
merits, many isogeometric models are still produced manually or semi-manually. In this …

In this paper, a numerical methodology for prediction of crack growth path and life of
structures containing cracks and its application to three different case studies on spur gear …
