Forward-in-Time Goal-Oriented Adaptivity
(International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2019-03)In goal-oriented adaptive algorithms for partial differential equations, we adapt the finite element mesh in order to reduce the error of the solution in some quantity of interest. In time-dependent problems, this adaptive ... -
Accessibility for Line-Cutting in Freeform Surfaces
(Computer-Aided Design, 2019-04-26)Manufacturing techniques such as hot-wire cutting, wire-EDM, wire-saw cutting, and flank CNC machining all belong to a class of processes called line-cutting where the cutting tool moves tangentially along the reference ... -
Adjoint-based formulation for computing derivatives with respect to bed boundary positions in resistivity geophysics
(Computational Geosciences, 2019-02)In inverse geophysical resistivity problems, it is common to optimize for specific resistivity values and bed boundary positions, as needed, for example, in geosteering applications. When using gradient-based inversion ... -
Parallel refined Isogeometric Analysis in 3D
(IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2018-11)We study three-dimensional isogeometric analysis (IGA) and the solution of the resulting system of linear equations via a direct solver. IGA uses highly continuous $C^{p-1}$ basis functions, which provide multiple benefits ... -
Asymptotic Models for the Electric Potential across a Highly Conductive Casing
