| contents | In this paper we develop an isogeometric Bézier dual mortar method for the biharmonic problem on multi-patch domains. The well-posedness of the discrete biharmonic problem requires a discretization with $C^1$ continuous basis functions. Hence, two Lagrange multipliers are required to apply both $C^0$ and $C^1$ continuity constraints on each intersection. The dual mortar method utilizes dual basis functions to discretize the Lagrange multiplier spaces. In order to preserve the sparsity of the coupled problem, we develop a dual mortar suitable $C^1$ constraint and utilize the Bézier dual basis to discretize the Lagrange multiplier spaces. The Bézier dual basis functions are constructed through Bézier projection and possess the same support size as the corresponding B-spline basis functions. We prove that this approach leads to a well-posed discrete problem and specify requirements to achieve optimal convergence. Although the Bézier dual basis is sub-optimal due to the lack of polynomial reproduction, our formulation successfully postpones the domination of the consistency error for practical problems. We verify the theoretical results and demonstrate the performance of the proposed formulation through several benchmark problems. |
