Dual Focal Splines and Rational
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review the theory of homogeneous splines and their relationship to special rational splines considered by J. SS anchez{Reyes and independently by P. de Casteljau who called them focal splines. Applying an appropriate duality, we transform focal splines into a remarkable class of rational curves with rational oosets. We investigate geometric properties of these dual focal splines, and discuss applications to curve design problems.

متن کاملModelling of curves in polar and Cartesian coordinates
A new class of spline curves in polar coordinates has been presented in 12] and independently considered in 3]. These are rational trigonometric curves in Cartesian coordinates and can be represented as NURBS. From the relationship existing with the correspondent curves in Cartesian coordinates an alternative way to derive some useful tools for modelling splines in polar coordinates has been pr...
متن کاملNon Uniform Rational B Spline (NURBS) Based Non-Linear Analysis of Straight Beams with Mixed Formulations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed traditionally using conventional finite element basis functions (i.e., cubic Hermite, equi-spaced Lagrange interpolation functions, or spectral/hp Legendre functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, tota...
متن کاملConversion between T-Splines and Hierarchical B-Splines
T-splines is a recently developed surface modelling technique which is a generalization of B-splines and allows true local refinement. Another well established method supporting local refinement is hierarchical B-splines. This paper presents algorithms for transformation between T-splines and hierarchical (rational) B-splines. With the transformation, a surface expressed in terms of T-splines c...
متن کاملIsogeometric-Based Modeling and Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates Under Transverse Loading
Analysis of the laminated composite plates under transverse loading is considered using the new method of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines(NURBS)are used as shape functions for modeling the geometry of the structure and also are used as shape functions in the analysis process. To show robustness of the new technique, some examples are represented and are compared with...
