A new method for designing a developable surface utilizing the surface pencil through a given curve

چکیده
This paper proposes a new method for designing a developable surface by constructing a surface pencil passing through a given curve, which is quite in accord with the practice in industry design and manufacture. By utilizing the Frenet trihedron frame, we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions to construct a developable surface through a given curve. Considering the requirements in shoemaking and garment-manufacture industries, we also study the special case of specifying the given curve as a geodesic. The given geodesic can be classified into three types corresponding to each type of developable surface. We also present the polynomial representation of the developable surface. The algorithm is convenient and efficient for applications in engineering. 2007 National Natural Science Foundation of China and Chinese Academy of Sciences.

متن کاملConstruction of a surface pencil with a common special surface curve
In this study, we introduce a new type of surface curves called $D$-type curve. This curve is defined by the property that the unit Darboux vector $vec{W}_{0} $ of a surface curve $vec{r}(s)$ and unit surface normal $vec{n} $ along the curve $vec{r}(s)$ satisfy the condition $leftlangle vec{n} ,vec{W}_{0} rightrangle =text{constant}$. We point out that a $D$-type curve is a geodesic curve or an...

This paper presents an approach for designing a developable surface possessing a given curve as the geodesic of it. We analyze the necessary and sufficient conditions when the resulting developable surface is a cylinder, cone or tangent surface. Also, we solve the problem of requiring the surfaces of revolution which are developable surfaces. Finally, we illustrate the convenience and efficienc...
متن کاملA New Approach for Designing Rational Bézier Surfaces from a Given Geodesic ?
This paper proposes an approach to design the surface pencil with specified parametric representations from a given geodesic. The surface was considered as a combination of the marching-scale functions and the Frenet trihedron frame, for which some necessary and sufficient conditions must be met. This paper simplifies those conditions, and represents the surface by combination of control points...
