From micro-CT TO A NURBS-based interface-enriched generalized finite element method
In the solid mechanic community, the finite element method is widely used to simulate the mechanical or thermal response of materials and structures. In most cases, conforming meshes are used to discretize the simulated geometry. However, this traditional method is not efficient in the analysis of …

Dimensionally reduced modeling and gradient-based design of microchannel cooling networks
… field due to the microchannels, we employ the interface-enriched generalized finite element method (IGFEM) as the numerical solver, which greatly simplifies mesh generation by allowing for the use of meshes that do not conform to the microchannel network. While previous IGFEM works are based on …
