Algebras and grammars for shapes and their boundaries
نویسنده
چکیده
A special kind of shape algebra is defined for concurrent computations with shapes and their boundaries, together with related shape grammars. Some new types of shape grammar are defined and classified. Table 1. Hierarchy of shape algebras. U00 U01 U02 U03 U11 U12 U13 U22 U23 U33 DOI:10.1068/b2681

Algebras of shapes revisited
This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of algebras of shapes as they are applied in a design theory, which involves shape grammars. Three different formats of these algebras, which (surprisingly) differ in behavior, will be explored. Some earlier informal ideas on algebras of shapes will be revisited and a formal underpinning will be provided. In particular, two different sums ...
متن کاملEmbedding shapes without predefined parts
For a practical computer implementation of part embedding in shapes that is also true to their continuous character and the shape grammar formalism, shapes and their boundaries are handled together in composite shape and label algebras. Temporary representations of shapes, termed `overcomplete graphs', comprise boundary elements of shapes and how they are assembled, and are utilized in a two-ph...
متن کاملComputation with Curved Shapes: Towards Freeform Shape Generation in Design
Shape computations are a formal representation that specify particular aspects of the design process with reference to form. They are defined according to shape grammars, where manipulations of pictorial representations of designs are formalised by shapes and rules applied to those shapes. They have frequently been applied in architecture in order to formalise the stylistic properties of a give...
متن کاملAnalysis of Axisymmetric Extrusion Process through Dies of any Shape with General Shear Boundaries
In this paper, a generalized expression for the flow field in axisymmetric extrusion process is suggested to be valid for any dies and the boundary shapes of the plastic deformation zone. The general power terms are derived and the extrusion force is calculated by applying upper bound technique for a streamlined die shape and exponential functions for shear boundaries. It is shown that assuming...
متن کاملUsing logic to specify shapes and spatial relations in design grammars
Shape algebraic representations provide several advantages over more traditional geometric representations. The use of predicate logic formulations of shape and spatial relations provides a natural, intuitive way to extend shape representations of the shape grammar formalism to provide generalized, parametric grammars. Introduction Research in the use of grammars and similar production systems ...
