In the earlier application of the spline finite strip method(FSM), the uniform B3-spline functions were used in the longitudinal direction while the conventional interpolation functions were used in the transverse direction to construct the displacement filed in a strip. To overcome the shortcoming of the uniform B3-spline, non-periodic B-spline was developed as the displacement function. The use of non-periodic B3-spline function requires no tangential vectors at both ends to interpolate the geometry of shell and the Kronecker delta property is also satisfied at the end boundaries. Recently, non-periodic spline FSM which was modified to have a multiple knots at the boundary was developed for the shell analysis and applied to the analysis of bridges. In the formulation of a non-symmetric spline finite strip method, the concepts of non-periodic B3-spline and a stress-resultant finite strip with drilling degrees of freedom for a shell are used. The introduction of non-symmetrically spaced knots in the longitudinal direction allows the selective local refinement to improve the accuracy of solution at the connections or at the location of concentrated load. A number of numerical tests were performed to prove the accuracy and efficiency of the present study.

A new method is introduced for the parametrization in B-spline surface interpolation. THis method uses the basis function to assign the parameter values to the arbitrary set of geometric data. This method gives us several important advantages in geometric modeling.

This paper presents a newly suggested calculation method in which an arbitrary quadrilateral element with curved sides is transformed to a normal rectangular one by mapping of coordinates, then the two-dimensional spline is adopted to approach the displacement function of this element. Finally the solution can be obtained by the least-energy principle. Thereby, the application field of Spline Finite Element Method will be extended.

We make use of cubic B-spline interpolation function in two cases: heat conduction and fluid flow problems. Cubic B-spline test function is employed because it is superior to approximation of linear and non-linear problems. We investigated the accuracy of the numerical formulation and focused on the position of the breakpoints within the computational domain. When the domain is divided by partitions of equal space, the results show poor accuracy. For the case of a heat conduction problem this partition can not reflect the temperature gradient which is rapidly changed near the wall. To correct the problem, we have more grid points near the wall or the region which has a rapid change of variables. When we applied the unequally spaced breakpoints, the results show high accuracy. Based on the comparison of the linear problem, we extended to the highly non-linear fluid flow problems.

The application of cubic spline is presented for basic curve (DRD motion) of cam motion. The purpose of this paper is to achieve better dynamic characteristics than general cam curves. A cubic spline is a piecewise function that is continuous in displacement, velocity and acceleration. The best cam curve is obtained by changing the weights of the object function. So the method can be used to any machine system case by case. For the proposed object function, the result has improved all characteristics such as velocity, acceleration and jerk compared with that of the modified sine curve.

The paper is devoted to study a mesh-free analysis method of structural elements of engineering structures based on B-spline Wavelet Basis Function. First, by employing the moving-least square method and the weighted residual method to solve the structural displacement field, the control equations and the stiffness equations are obtained. And then constructs the displacement field of the structure by using the m-order B-spline wavelet basis function as a weight function. In the end, the paper selects the plane beam structure and the structure with opening hole to carry out numerical analysis of deformation and stress. The Finite Element Method calculation results are compared with the results of the method proposed, and the calculation results of the relative error norm is compared with Gauss weight function as weight function. Therefore, the clarification verified the validity and accuracy of the proposed method.

In the course of working on the preconditioning of $C^1$-bicubic collocation method, one has to deal with the $C^1$-bicubic splines. In this paper we are concerned with $C^1$-bicubic spline interpolant for a given function. We construct a basis for the space of $C^1$-bicubic splines for a given partition and find the $C^1$-bicubic spline interpolant for a given function defined on a set.

In this paper a spline function solution for the ultimate strength of steel members and member structures is derived based on total Lagrangian formulation. The displacements of members along longitudinal and transverse directions are interpolated by one-order B spline functions and three-order hybrid spline functions respectively. Equilibrium equations are established according to the principle of virtual work. All initial imperfections of members and effects of loading, unloading and reloading of material are taken into account. The influence of the instability of members on structural behavior can be included in analyses. Numerical examples show that the method of this paper can satisfactorily analyze the elasto-plastic large deflection problems of planar steel member and member structures.

신호를 원하는 해상도의 신호로 다시 샘플링하기 위해 일반적으로 쓰이는 방법은 원래의 영상을 연속된 모델로 나타낸 후 이를 원하는 해상도의 신호로 다시 샘플링하는 것이다. 이산 신호를 연속 신호로 바꿀 때 이용하게 될 B-spline 함수는 다른 기저함수에 비해 진동하는 성향이 적고 적은 계수로 표현이 가능하다. 디지털 신호를 B-spline 모델로 표현하고 이 spline 신호를 새로운 해상도로 다시 샘플링하게 되면 B- spline에 기반한 비정규 리사이징이 된다. 이때 해상도는 공간에 따라 변하는 변환함수에 의해 결정하게 된다. 이 방법은 구현하기 좋지만 정보를 손실하는 약점이 있으므로 이를 극복한 최적 비정규 알고리즘을 제안한다. 최적의 비정규적인 수식 유도를 위해, 다시 샘플링된 신호는 변환 함수로 결정된 shift varying spline의 조합으로 나타내게 된다. 원래의 영상에 가장 가까운 함수를 선택함으로써 이 함수는 일반화될 수 있다.

An assumed strain finite strip method(FSM) using the non-periodic B-spline for a shell is presented. In the present method, the shape function based on the non-periodic B-splines satisfies the Kronecker delta properties at the boundaries and allows to introduce interior supports in much the same way as in a conventional finite element formulation. In the formulation for a shell, the geometry of the shell is defined by non-periodic B3-splines without any tangential vectors at the ends and the penalty function method is used to incorporate the drilling degrees of freedom. In this study, new assumed strain fields using the non-periodic B-spline function are proposed to overcome the locking problems. The strip formulated in this way does not posses any spurious zero energy modes. The versatility and accuracy of the new approach are demonstrated through a series of numerical examples.
