The Free-form Surface Modelling System
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The process of modelling is much easier, if mathematical description of an abject, or at least of part of an object may be applied. In the first case, however, a mathematical description of the object may be unavailable. One way of solution, is to use as a model the coordinates of the infinitely many points of the object, but this is not feasible for a computer with finite storage. More often, the object is merely approximated with pieces (called patches, in the case of surface modelling) of planes, spheres, or other shapes that are easy to describe mathematically, and require that points on the model be close to corresponding points on the object.

Retrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...

This paper proposes mathematical modeling and analysis of ferrofluid lubricated newly designed slider bearing having convex pad (surface or plate) stator with two porous layers attached to the slider. The problem considers the effect of slip velocity proposed by Sparrow et. al.[1] and modified by Shah et. al.[2] at the film-porous interface. The squeeze velocity V=−which appears when the upper ...

متن کاملReliability Modelling of the Redundancy Allocation Problem in the Series-parallel Systems and Determining the System Optimal Parameters
Considering the increasingly high attention to quality, promoting the reliability of products during designing process has gained significant importance. In this study, we consider one of the current models of the reliability science and propose a non-linear programming model for redundancy allocation in the series-parallel systems according to the redundancy strategy and considering the assump...
متن کاملNORMAL FORM SOLUTION OF REDUCED ORDER OSCILLATING SYSTEMS
This paper describes a preliminary investigation into the use of normal form theory for modelling large non-linear dynamical systems. Limit cycle oscillations are determined for simple two-degree-of-freedom double pendulum systems. The double pendulum system is reduced into its centre manifold before computing normal forms. Normal forms are obtained using a period averaging method which is appl...
متن کاملSketch-based free-form shape modelling with a fast and stable numerical engine
In this paper, we present a feature-based free-form shape modelling technique based on solving a fundamental problem of reconstructing the depth information from 2D sketch planes. First, to mathematically define the problem with the human perception, the proposed technique (1) formulates the 2D shaded regions on sketches by a hybrid thin plate surface model that can exhibit controlled continuit...
