... the optimal discretization of three-dimensional curves. The results of curves discretization can also meet requirements for mesh generation used in the preprocessing of numerical simulation. Originality/value Several numerical examples presented have verified the robustness and efficiency of the proposed...

...Michael A. Puso; Tod A. Laursen In this work, a mortar method is implemented for tying arbitrary dissimilar 3D meshes, i.e. 3D meshes with curved, non‐matching interfaces. The 3D method requires approximations to the surface integrals specified by the projection of the displacement jump across...

...Y.S. Kang; D.Y. Yang Applies an updated Lagrangian finite element analysis with automatic remeshing scheme to three‐dimensional hot extrusion through landless square dies. The remeshing procedure is composed mainly with decision for remeshing, transfer of state variables and mesh generation...

...Leif Kobbelt; Torsten Hesse; Hartmut Prautzsch; Karl Schweizerhof Presents an interpolatory subdivision scheme to generate adaptively refined quadrilateral meshes which approximate a smooth surface of arbitrary topology. The described method differs significantly from classical mesh generation...

...J.L. Graysmith; C.T. Shaw Develops a method which performs Boolean operations on two unstructured arbitrary meshes. Deletes the overlapping or interfering elements of two individual meshes and creates a mesh of tetrahedral elements in their place to provide an interface between the remnants...

...M.A. Crisfield; X. Peng Presents a range of numerical results obtained from the geometrically nonlinear analysis of a cantilevered cylindrical shell. Shows that, while the fine‐mesh solution involves no limit points, as the mesh is coarsened, an increasing series of “false limit points...

...Angelo Pica Presents a simple adaptive a priori mesh refinement scheme, capable of fitting the finite element mesh to a curved surface at any degree of accuracy with cost control. The technique is based on the geometry of the surface and relies on the possibility of defining a projection operator...
