Isogeometric Analysis : John Wiley & Sons, Inc. : 9780470748732 : 0470748737 : 14 Aug 2009 : ?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 int
