      Nodargi, Nicola; Kiendl, Josef; Bisegna, Paolo; Caselli, Federica; De Lorenzis, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      An isogeometric analysis formulation for simulating red blood cell (RBC) electro-deformationis presented. Electrically-induced cell deformation experiments are receiving increasing attention as an attractive strategy for ...
    • An isogeometric collocation method for frictionless contact of Cosserat rods 

      Weeger, Oliver; Narayanan, Bharath; De Lorenzis, Laura; Kiendl, Josef; Dunn, Martin L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      A frictionless contact formulation for spatial rods is developed within the framework of isogeometric collocation. The structural mechanics is described by the Cosserat theory of geometrically nonlinear spatial rods. The ...
    • Explicit isogeometric collocation for the dynamics of three-dimensional beams undergoing finite motions 

      Marino, Enzo; Kiendl, Josef; De Lorenzis, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      We initiate the study of three-dimensional shear-deformable geometrically exact beam dynamics through explicit isogeometric collocation methods. The formulation we propose is based on a natural combination of the chosen ...

      Proserpio, Davide; Ambati, Marreddy; De Lorenzis, Laura; Kiendl, Josef (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We present a computational framework for applying the phase-field approach to brittle fracture efficiently to complex shell structures. The momentum and phase-field equations are solved in a staggered scheme using isogeometric ...
    • Isogeometric collocation for implicit dynamics of three-dimensional beams undergoing finite motions 

      Marino, Enzo; Kiendl, Josef; De Lorenzis, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We propose a novel approach to the implicit dynamics of shear-deformable geometrically exact beams, based on the isogeometric collocation method combined with the Newmark time integration scheme extended to the rotation ...
    • Isogeometric collocation for the Reissner–Mindlin shell problem 

      Kiendl, Josef; Marino, Enzo; De Lorenzis, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We present an isogeometric collocation formulation for the Reissner-Mindlin shell problem. After recalling the necessary basics on differential geometry and the shell governing equations, we show that the standard approach ...
    • Isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shell formulation for elasto-plasticity 

      Ambati, Marreddy; Kiendl, Josef; De Lorenzis, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      An isogeometric thin shell formulation allowing for large-strain plastic deformation is presented. A stress-based approach is adopted, which means that the constitutive equations are evaluated at different integration ...
    • Phase-field description of brittle fracture in plates and shells 

      Kiendl, Josef; Ambati, Marreddy; De Lorenzis, Laura; Gomez, Hector; Reali, Alessandro (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      We present an approach for phase-field modeling of fracture in thin structures like plates and shells, where the kinematics is defined by midsurface variables. Accordingly, the phase field is defined as a two-dimensional ...
    • Phase-field simulation of ductile fracture in shell structures 

      Proserpio, Davide; Ambati, Marreddy; De Lorenzis, Laura; Kiendl, Josef (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In this paper, a computational framework for simulating ductile fracture in multipatch shell structures is presented. A ductile fracture phase-field model at finite strains is combined with an isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love ...
