Pressure modes for hyperbolic paraboloid roofs

A locally optimal triangulation of the hyperbolic paraboloid

Pascal Desnoguès Olivier Devillers y Abstract: Given a set S of data points in IR2 and corresponding data values for a speci c non-convex surface, the unit hyperbolic paraboloid, we consider the problem of nding a locally optimal triangulation of S for the linear approximation of this surface. The chosen optimality criterion will be the L2 norm: it means that we will try to nd directly a triang...

Wind pressure measurements on full scale flat roofs

A flat roof surface is known to be subjected to unusually high suction associated with a pair of vortices created under diagonally skewed wind. Prediction of the wind load and its influence on the roof system is an important engineering topic but wind tunnel testing of this situation is not easy with a scaled model. Considering the physics of wind flow for the most critical case, a possibility ...

The Dual Drawing Method of the Hyperbolic Paraboloid and the Screen Representation of the Ruling

Ruled surface design and its applications are widely used in CAGD(Computer Aid Geometric Design) and industrial areas. In this paper, the hyperbolic paraboloid is a particular ruled surface, which is drawn by using the dual De Casteljau algorithm [15]. The characteristics of the hyperbolic paraboloid are analysed in order to match the requirement of the dual De Casteljau algorithm. A new method...

High-Quality Shadows with Improved Paraboloid Mapping

This paper introduces a novel approach to rendering of highquality shadows in real-time. The contemporary approach to shadow rendering in real-time is shadow maps algorithm. The standard shadow maps suffer from discretization and aliasing due to the limited resolution of the shadow texture. Moreover, omnidirectional lights need additional treatment to work correctly, e.g. with dual-paraboloid s...
