datasets so that the reader should be able to understand all the essential ideas and to reproduce the numerical experiments. In addition, an exhaustive list of relevant references is provided as it is not possible to address every topic in the full generality and completeness that it deserves. In particular, the first and leading book in IGA by Cottrell et al. (2009), as well as the research papers by the authors upon which most of the content is based (see, for example, Bouclier et al. (2016, 2017), Bouclier and Passieux (2018), Hirschler et al. (2019a, 2019b, 2019c)), obviously constitute relevant additional resources. Finally, conscious effort has been made to present material that is not in research papers and to draw relevant perspectives, which in our opinion allows us to appreciate the full potential of the developed framework.

      P.2.2. Organization of the text

      Following these opening remarks, this book is organized as follows: first, Chapter 1 re-introduces IGA by highlighting the opportunities and remaining issues for the analysis and shape optimization of complex structures; then, Chapters 2 and 3 are devoted to the derivation of the direct solvers, i.e. the non-invasive coupling scheme for flexible global/local simulation and the family of parallel domain decomposition solvers for efficient multipatch analysis, respectively; finally, the constructed algorithms are integrated into the shape optimization loop and complemented by a sound geometrical modeling to achieve the optimal design of innovative complex structures in Chapter 4. From here on, it should be stressed that the contributions regarding optimization concern the modeling and the involved direct resolutions rather than the optimization algorithm itself.

      The book series has been prepared under the suggestion of Piotr Breitkopf, director of the ISTE series “Numerical Methods in Engineering”, following Robin Bouclier’s (2020) thesis, known as a “Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches” (HDR). Many thanks to Piotr for giving the authors this opportunity and for helpful comments and advice concerning an initial draft of this book. The authors would also like to thank their collaborators on the work contained in this volume. In particular, this volume completes many texts and results from the PhD thesis of Thibaut Hirschler (2019); thus, the authors would like to gratefully thank the colleagues from the supervision team of this PhD, starting with Thomas Elguedj and going up to Joseph Morlier without omitting Arnaud Duval. Finally, Robin Bouclier would like to single out for special acknowledgments Jean-Charles Passieux and Michel Salaün who initiated him into the field of domain coupling, specifically in the context of non-invasive global/local simulations, at the early stage of his arrival in Toulouse (France).

      Introduction to IGA: Key Ingredients for the Analysis and Optimization of Complex Structures

      1.1. Brief introduction

      IsoGeometric analysis (IGA) was originally introduced by Hughes et al. (2005) and formalized in Cottrell et al. (2009), in order to reunify the fields of geometric modeling in computer-aided design (CAD) and numerical simulation using the finite element method (FEM). The main idea is to resort to the same bases for analysis as the ones used to describe the geometry in CAD. In this framework, the method can be viewed as a generalization of the FEM that considers smooth and higher-order functions, for example, the non-uniform-rational-B-spline (NURBS) functions (Cohen et al. 1980; Piegl and Tiller 1997; Rogers 2000; Farin 2002), to replace typical Lagrange polynomials in the computations. Some other geometric descriptions include T-splines (Bazilevs et al. 2010) and subdivision surfaces (Cirak et al. 2002). Within this work, we only use the NURBS (which constitute the most commonly used technology in CAD) and simpler B-splines. We use the spline and isogeometric terminologies indifferently to denote a NURBS and a B-spline object, respectively.

      To start with, IGA is introduced from a technical viewpoint by providing the key ingredients regarding the considered spline geometric modeling techniques, namely the B-spline and NURBS variants. Particular care is taken to highlight the ability of these spline tools to describe any geometrical shape and to also control them smoothly. These aspects are of paramount importance for the works presented in this book, which address the general field of computational solid mechanics to the shape optimization of structures. Finally, with the IGA concept now being mature and relatively well known in the scientific computing community, we shortly review its basics from an analytical point of view. In this respect, we recall that the major difference, with respect to standard FEM, is to use the spline-based parameterizations of CAD to build the approximation subspaces when applying the Galerkin’s method. For further details, besides the pioneering contributions (Hughes et al. 2005; Cottrell et al. 2009), refer to the works cited hereafter.
