Motion by Curvature of Planar Networks II

چکیده
We prove that the curvature flow of an embedded planar network of three curves connected through a triple junction, with fixed endpoints on the boundary of a given strictly convex domain, exists smooth as long as the lengths of the three curves stay far from zero. If this is the case for all times, then the evolution exists for all times and the network converges to the Steiner minimal connection between the three endpoints.

Forward kinematic analysis of planar parallel robots using a neural network-based approach optimized by machine learning
The forward kinematic problem of parallel robots is always considered as a challenge in the field of parallel robots due to the obtained nonlinear system of equations. In this paper, the forward kinematic problem of planar parallel robots in their workspace is investigated using a neural network based approach. In order to increase the accuracy of this method, the workspace of the parallel robo...
متن کاملA special Class of Stochastic PERT Networks
Considering the network structure is one of the new approaches in studying stochastic PERT networks (SPN). In this paper, planar networks are studied as a special class of networks. Two structural reducible mechanisms titled arc contraction and deletion are developed to convert any planar network to a series-parallel network structure.
In series-parallel SPN, the completion time distribution...

متن کاملMotion by Curvature of Planar Networks
We consider the motion by curvature of a network of smooth curves with multiple junctions in the plane, that is, the geometric gradient flow associated to the length functional. Such a flow represents the evolution of a two–dimensional multiphase system where the energy is simply the sum of the lengths of the interfaces, in particular it is a possible model for the growth of grain boundaries. M...
متن کاملAn automated time and hand motion analysis based on planar motion capture extended to a virtual environment
In the context of industrial engineering, the predetermined time systems (PTS) play an important role in workplaces because inefficiencies are found in assembly processes that require manual manipulations. In this study, an approach is proposed with the aim to analyze time and motions in a manual process using a capture motion system embedded to a virtual environment. Capture motion system trac...
