Approximation by Profile Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
A new algorithm for approximation of a given surface or scattered points by a surface of revolution is presented. It forms the basis for a study of approximation with profile surfaces. Those are sweeping surfaces traced out by a planar curve when its plane is rolling on a developable surface. Important special cases include developable surfaces and pipe surfaces, where the moving curve is a straight line or circle, respectively. The methods are illustrated using applications in reverse engineering of geometric models. keywords: computer aided design, computer aided manufacturing, surface approximation, reverse engineering, surface of revolution, profile surface, pipe surface, developable surface

Sea Surfaces Scattering by Multi-Order Small-Slope Approximation: a Monte-Carlo and Analytical Comparison
L-band electromagnetic scattering from two-dimensional random rough sea surfaces are calculated by first- and second-order Small-Slope Approximation (SSA1, 2) methods. Both analytical and numerical computations are utilized to calculate incoherent normalized radar cross-section (NRCS) in mono- and bi-static cases. For evaluating inverse Fourier transform, inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) i...
متن کاملRational approximation of rotation minimizing frames using Pythagorean–hodograph cubics
This article is devoted to the rotation minimizing frames that are associated with spatial curves. Firstly we summarize some results concerning the differential geometry of the sweeping surfaces which are generated by these frames (the so–called profile or moulding surfaces). In the second part of the article we describe a rational approximation scheme. This scheme is based on the use of spatia...
متن کاملShape Effects and Definition of Hydraulic Radius in Manning 's Equation in Open Channel Flow
In the Manning equation the hydraulic radius can be defined as the cross-section dimension of the shape. In pipe flow the bed shear stress is assumed to be uniformly distributed along the wetted perimeter which cannot be true in open channel flow. Hence, three approximation of the true boundary shear-stress distribution are examined and more practical conveyance depth or resistance radius formu...

Many metal forming problems have been solved using the slip line field method but all of them have either been two-dimensional (plane strain or plain stress) or axisymmetric problems. In this paper a procedure has been proposed by which the slip line field solution to three dimensional problems of metal forming becomes possible. For this purpose the extrusion of shaped sections has been taken a...
متن کاملThe Influence of Substrate Structure on Membrane Adhesion
We consider a membrane both weakly and strongly adhering to a geometrically structured substrate. The interaction potential is assumed to be local, via the Deryagin approximation, and harmonic. Consequently, we can analytically describe a variety of different geometries: as well as randomly rough self-affine surfaces, smooth substrates interrupted by an isolated cylindrical pit, a single elonga...
