Isogeometric shell analysis with Kirchhoff–Love elements
J. Kiendl K.-U. Bletzinger; J. Linhard; R. Wüchner
Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering 1 November 2009: (Volume 198, Issues 49-52) p.3902-3914
NURBS as basis functions for analysis have proven to be very efficient and offer the great feature of exact geometric representation. For a Kirchhoff–Love shell element they additionally have the significant advantage that the necessary continuities between elements are easily achieved. The element is formulated geometrically nonlinear. It is discretized by displacement degrees of freedom only. Aspects related to rotational degrees of freedom are handled by the displacement control variables, too.

Ich versuche eine Psychoanalyse des Ortes, an dem ich lebe. [I am trying to psychoanalyse the place I live in.]
Author : Imdahl,Georg

Discusses the life and work of Polish artist Monika Sosnowska (b.1972). The author highlights the architectural themes in the artist's sculptures and huge site-specific installation works. He examines in detail her recent installation entitled "The Staircase/Die Treppe" (2010; col. illus.) which dominates the interior courtyard of the K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Dusseldorf (24 April 2010-15 April 2012). He also commends the geometric sculptures installed in the Polish pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007, with which Sosnowska first came to international attention. He sketches her biography, highlighting her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Posen and subsequently at the Rijksakademie van beeldenden kunsten in Amsterdam. In interview, the artist explains that modern architecture in her native Poland was a key early influence. She examines the failure of the utopian ideals of Modernist architecture. She also discusses the contemporary art scene in Warsaw where she lives and works. Journal pages : 208-229 Journal article.
