Preface
This book is dedicated to bridging the classical beam theories and modern numerical simulation using the NURBS concept. If we observe carefully the state of the art and well-recognized finite element analysis (FEA) and computer-aided design (CAD), they are two different disciplines in engineering and science that do not go along with each other, until T.J.R. Hughes and co-workers in 2005 introduced the isogeometric analysis to bridge the gap between the CAD and the FEA approaches in which it gained significant thrusts to all research studies on this topic. This book is intended for students in engineering and science who are beginning a series of courses in structures and mechanics, practitioners in companies who are starting to learn how to analyze the NURBS curves that they usually draw in their daily work, and researchers who are going to pursue or extend their research in a beam element using NURBS curves. This book is written as a textbook or workbook with tutorials in how
