Journal Article
Kadapa, C., Dettmer, W., & Perić, D. (2015). NURBS based least-squares finite element methods for fluid and solid mechanics. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 101(7), 521-539. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.4765

This contribution investigates the performance of a least-squares finite element method based on non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) basis functions. The least-squares functional is formulated directly in terms of the strong form of the governing... Read More about NURBS based least-squares finite element methods for fluid and solid mechanics.
