1. 2013 Spring Trimester Applied Math Colloquium Enriched Isogeometric Analysis of Elliptic Boundary Value Problems Containing Singularities An Isogeometric Mapping Method was introduced for highly accurate Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) of elliptic boundary value problems containing singularities. The mapping method is concerned with constructions of novel geometrical mappings by which pushforwards of B-splines from the parameter space into the physical space generate singular functions that resemble the singularities. In other words, the pullback of the singularity into the parameter space by the novel geometrical mapping (a NURBS surface mapping) becomes highly smooth. One of the merits of IGA is that it uses NURBS functions employed in designs for the finite element analysis. However, pushforwards of rational NURBS may not be able to generate singular functions. Moreover, the mapping method is effective for neither the k-refinement nor the hrefinement. In this paper, highly accurate stress analysis of elastic domains with cracks and/or corners are achieved by enriched IGA, in which pushforwards of NURBS via the design mapping are combined with pushforwards of B-splines via the novel geometrical mapping (the mapping technique). In a similar spirit of X-FEM (or GFEM), we propose three enrichment approaches: enriched IGA for corners, enriched IGA for cracks, and partition of unity IGA for cracks.
