Blending Polyhedra with Overlays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a novel method for constructing polyhedra by blending together two or more existing polyhedra, using a dualization method. The method results in a Minkowski sum, analogous to that of overlay tilings [5], which uses a topological dual operation to create tilings from a network (a graph embedded in a plane). This paper extends that method to networks on the surface of the unit sphere. We begin with polyhedra in canonical form, dualize them to form networks, overlay the networks, and dualize the result to obtain a new polyhedron that blends together the faces of the original polyhedra. Figure 1 An example of blending polyhedra.

An Investigation on In-situ Strength and Bonding Strength of Polymer Modified Concretes (PMC) as Repair Overlays on Conventional Concrete Substrate
Polymer modified concrete (PMC) consists of Portland cement concrete with a polymer modifier. Its advantages are proper bonding strength to substrate concrete, high tensile and flexural strength and low amount of shrinkage and permeability. Using PMC overlays can be considered as a method for preservation of damaged concrete structures due to their suitable performance and durability. In this r...

∗ Corresponding author. Tel. 86-571-7951045. Fax. 86-571-7951780. Email: [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we present a novel continuous field based free-form surface modeling and morphing algorithm. Polyhedra are used in our algorithm as the skeletons of the free-form surfaces. Unlike the conventional methods, we first construct a continuous field from each skeleton using variationa...

Susceptibility of three Eco-races of tropical Tasar silkworm to Antheraea mylitta cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (AmCPV)
Pathogenic infection in tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury. is common and there is a breed specific response regarding tolerance. Observations reveal the possibility of differential response by haemocytes to microbial infection in different breeds. Hence, the susceptibility of three eco-races of tasar silkworm viz. Daba, Sarihan and Raily to Antheraea mylitta Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus...
متن کاملModelling Decision Problems Via Birkhoff Polyhedra
A compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. Directed Hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. Sets of extrema of Birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...
