This paper proposes a novel boundary element approach formulated on the Bézier-Bernstein basis to yield a geometry-independent field approximation. The proposed method is geometrically based on both computer aid design (CAD) and isogeometric analysis (IGA), but field variables are independently approximated from the geometry. This approach...

In this paper the authors investigate the energy harvesting in railway bridges and analyse the performance under different operational conditions. An approximation based on modal superposition is proposed for the computation of the energy harvested from train-induced bridge vibration. This approach is consistent with the analytical modal...
