Abstract
Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) can bridge the gap between geometrical and numerical modeling. To this end, the same basis functions used in Computer Aided Design are applied to represent geometry and approximate physical field in analysis. In this paper, the IGA is firstly introduced to finite element method (FEM) for interior acoustic problems. The domain is parameterized by Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) in the algorithm, which simplifies the mesh generation greatly and furthermore supplies an exact representation of curved boundaries. In addition, the IGA FEM possesses a distinct feature of flexible order-elevation technique without modifying the geometry. Several numerical examples are presented to validate the accuracy and demonstrate the merits of the IGA FEM in the analysis of interior acoustic problems.
