Abstract
We propose a new approach to reuse the basis function evaluations in the
numerical integration of isogeometric analysis. The concept of reusability of the basis
functions is introduced according to their symmetrical, translational and proportional
features on both the coarse and refined levels. Based on these features and the parametric
domain regularity of each basis, we classify the bases on the original level and then reuse
them on the refined level, which can reduce the time for basis calculations at integration
nodes. By using the sum factorization method and the mean value theorem for the
integrals, a new integration method with high integral efficiency is proposed. We validate
the proposed method by some structural analysis problems in domains with different
dimensionality. Comparing the numerical result accuracy and the time cost of the
proposed integration method with the full Gauss integration quadrature, it turns out to be
very promising.
