Variational design of rational Bezier curves and surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
The design of curves and surfaces in C.A.D. systems has many applications in car, plane or ship industry. Because they offer more flexibility, rational functions are often prefered to polynomial functions to modelize curves and surfaces. In this work, several methods to generate rational Bezier curves and surfaces which minimize some functionals are proposed. The functionals measure a technical smoothness of the curves and surfaces, and are related to the energy of beams and plates in the sense of the elasticity theory.

Variational Surface Design and Surface Interrogation
The generation of technical smooth surfaces from a mesh of three-dimensional data points is an important problem in geometric modelling. In this publication we give a survey of some new techniques based on a calculus of variation approach. Apart from the pure construction of these surfaces, the analysis of their quality is equally important in the design and manufacturing process. Generalized f...
متن کاملCreating Exact Bezier Representations of CST Shapes
The paper presents a method of expressing CST shapes pioneered by Kulfan into stan dard Bezier curves and surfaces. Out of the seven standard shape classes identified by Kulfan as representable using CST curves, four of them, including airfoils, can be repre sented as Bezier curves exactly. For the other three, a convergent series expansion proves insufficient to achieve any practical accurac...
متن کاملBezier curves based on Lupas (p, q)-analogue of Bernstein polynomials in CAGD
In this paper, we use the blending functions of Lupaş type (rational) (p, q)-Bernstein operators based on (p, q)-integers for construction of Lupaş (p, q)-Bézier curves (rational curves) and surfaces (rational surfaces) with shape parameters. We study the nature of degree elevation and degree reduction for Lupaş (p, q)-Bézier Bernstein functions. Parametric curves are represented using Lupaş (p...
متن کاملHigher order Bézier circles
Rational Bezier and B-spline representations of circles have been heavily publicized. However, all the literature assumes the rational Bezier segments in the homogeneous space are both planar and (equivalent to) quadratic. This creates the illusion that circles can only be achieved by planar and quadratic curves. In this paper we show circles that are formed by higher order rational Bezier curv...
متن کاملfreeform: A Tool for Teaching the Mathematics of Curves and Surfaces
We describe the structure and use of an interactive modeling and visualization tool used to help students understand various important concepts in curve and surface design. This paper describes those aspects of the tool related to NURBS curves, but Bezier and Hermite curves are also supported as are Bezier and B-Spline surfaces. The focus of this paper is almost exclusively on those features of...
