In this paper, the solution domain is divided into multi-patches on which B-spline basis functions are used for approximation. The different B-spline patches are connected by a transition region which is described by several elements. The basis functions in different B-spline patches are modified in the transition region to ensure the basic polynomial reconstruction condition and the compatibility of displacements and their gradients. This new method is applied to the stress analysis of 2D elasticity problems in order to investigate its performance. Numerical results show that the present method is accurate and stable.

Abstract. Fitting a smooth surface on irregular data is a problem in many applications of data analysis. Spline polynomials in different orders have been used for interpolation and approximation in one or two-dimensional space in many researches. These polynomials can be made by different degrees and they have continuous derivative at the boundaries. The advantage of using B-spline basis functions for obtaining spline polynomials is that they impose the continuity constraints in an implicit form and, more importantly, their calculation is much simpler. In this study, we explain the theory of the least squares B-spline method in surface approximation. Furthermore, we present numerical examples to show the efficiency of the method in linear, quadratic and cubic forms and it’s capability in modeling changes in numerical values. This capability can be used in different applications to represent any natural phenomenon which can’t be experienced by humans directly. Lastly, the method’s accuracy and reliability in different orders will be discussed.

Trigonometric B-spline curves with shape parameters are equally important and useful for modeling in Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) like classical B-spline curves. This paper introduces the cubic polynomial and rational cubic B-spline curves using new cubic basis functions with shape parameter ξ∈[0,4]. All geometric characteristics of the proposed Trigonometric B-spline curves are similar to the classical B-spline, but the shape-adjustable is additional quality that the classical B-spline curves does not hold. The properties of these bases are similar to classical B-spline basis and have been delineated. Furthermore, uniform and non-uniform rational B-spline basis are also presented. C3 and C5 continuities for trigonometric B-spline basis and C3 continuities for rational basis are derived. In order to legitimize our proposed scheme for both basis, floating and periodic curves are constructed. 2D and 3D models are also constructed using proposed curves.

B-spline basis functions as a new approximation method is introduced in the boundary face method (BFM) to obtain numerical solutions of 3D potential problems. In the BFM, both boundary integration and variable approximation are performed in the parametric spaces of the boundary surfaces, therefore, keeps the exact geometric information of a body in which the problem is defined. In this paper, local bivariate B-spline functions are proposed to alleviate the influence of B-spline tensor product that will deteriorate the exactness of numerical results. Numerical tests show that the new method has well performance in both exactness and convergence.

Formulas for the derivatives and normal vectors of non-rational B-spline and NURBS are proved based on de BOOR’s recursive formula. Compared with the existing approaches targeting at the non-rational B-spline basis functions, these equations are directly targeted at the controlling points, so the algorithms and programs for NURBS curve and surface can also be applied to the derivatives and normals, the calculating performance is increased. A simplified equation is also proved in this paper.

A procedure employing rational B-spline functions for the synthesis of cam-follower motion programs is presented. It differs from earlier techniques that employ spline functions by using rational B-spline basis functions to interpolate motion constraints. These rational B-splines permit greater flexibility in refining motion programs. Examples are provided to illustrate application of the approach.

In this paper, an adaptive strategy based on a B-spline wavelet Galerkin method is discussed. The authors have developed the wavelet Galerkin Method which utilizes quadratic and cubic B-spline scaling function/wavelet as its basis functions. The developed B-spline Galerkin Method has been proven to be very accurate in the analyses of elastostatics. Then the authors added a capability to adaptively adjust the special resolution of the basis functions by adding the wavelet basis functions where the resolution needs to be enhanced.
