Prof. Jim Rice delivered the 2015/2016 Nathan Newmark Distinguished lecture at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. This lecture series, organinzed by the Structural Engineering group at UIUC, honors the memory of Prof. Newmark who was an influential figure in computational mathematics, structural dynamics and earthquake engineering.

multiscale modeling

Applications are sought for a motivated/independent Post-Doctoral Research Associate to conduct research on the nonlinear elastic response of porous materials. This project is a component of a larger program, involving Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Chevron USA, to investigate  linear and nonlinear elastic response of porous materials as a function of their quasi-static state.  The postdoc will be responsible for the theoretical development of modeling that will interface a sequence of on-going experimental studies.

Control Points of a Random NURBS based-Geometry

Submitted by Vishal Agrawal on

Hi all respected members,

I am learning the Isogeometric Analysis technique (which was firstly outlined by Hughes et al.). I am not able to understand the pre-defined control point data of given geometries, therefore I want to know the way in which the information of control points (for the geometries construced by NURBS) can be extracted if we have the geometry. If it is calculated by available software or by any other mean please let me know.

 

Thanks
