Civil Engineering Seminar: Yuri Bazilevs

Description

The Johns Hopkins Department of Civil Engineering is pleased to welcome Yuri Bazilevs, a professor of Engineering at Brown University, for a seminar titled "Isogeometric Methods for Solids, Structures, and Fluid-Structure Interaction: From Early Results to Recent Developments."

This presentation is focused on Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) with applications to solids and structures, starting with early developments and results, and transitioning to more recent work. Novel IGA-based thin-shell formulations are discussed, and applications to progressive damage modeling in composite laminates due to low-velocity impact and their residual-strength prediction are shown. Fluid--structure interaction (FSI) employing IGA is also discussed, and a novel framework for airblast-structure interaction (ABSI) based on an immersed approach coupling IGA and RKPM-based Meshfree methods is presented and verified on a set of challenging examples. The presentation is infused with examples that highlight effective uses of IGA in advanced engineering applications.
