چکیده
This paper presents an optimisation algorithm applied to three-dimensional structural optimisation problems. This algorithm is based on the evolutionary structural optimisation method (ESO) and boundary elements (BE) are used to carry out the structural analysis. The geometries are represented using non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curves and surfaces. Examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the algorithm for some preliminary results. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Evolutionary structural optimisation based on boundary representation of NURBS. Part I: 2D algorithms
This paper presents an evolutionary structural optimisation (ESO) approach based on the boundary element method. Non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) are used to define the geometry of the component and, since the shape of these B-splines is governed by a set of control points, use can be made of the locations of these control points as design variables. The developed algorithm creates NURBS-...
متن کاملSymmetry and Fourier Descriptor: A Hybrid Feature For NURBS based B-Rep Models Retrieval
As the number of models in 3D databases grows, an efficient 3D models indexing mechanism and a similarity measure to ease model retrieval are necessary. In this paper, we present a query-by-model framework for NURBS based B-Rep models retrieval that combines partial symmetry of the object and the Fourier shape descriptor of canonical 2D projections of the 3D models. In fact, most objects are co...
متن کاملPERFORMANCE-BASED MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR STEEL STRUCTURES WITH INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHMS
A multi-objective heuristic particle swarm optimiser (MOHPSO) based on Pareto multi-objective theory is proposed to solve multi-objective optimality problems. The optimality objectives are the roof displacement and structure weight. Two types of structure are analysed in this paper, a truss structure and a framework structure. Performance-based seismic analysis, such as classical and modal push...
متن کاملAutomatic Texture Atlas Generation from Trimmed NURBS Models
A Texture Atlas is a two dimensional representation of a 3D model usable for paint systems or as a sewing pattern. The field of texture atlas generation from polygonal models has been well exploited in the recent years. The developed algorithms work on piecewise linear surface representations, but not on parametric surfaces like NURBS, that are still the main surface representation in CAD syste...
متن کاملImage-based modeling of 3D objects with curved surfaces
This paper addresses an image-based method for modeling 3D objects with curved surfaces based on the non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) representation. The user fits the feature curves on a few calibrated images with 2D NURBS curves using the interactive user interface. Then, 3D NURBS curves are constructed by stereo reconstruction of the corresponding feature curves. Using these as buildin...
