Optimal development of doubly curved surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents algorithms for optimal development (flattening) of a smooth continuous curved surface embedded in three-dimensional space into a planar shape. The development process is modeled by in-plane strain (stretching) from the curved surface to its planar development. The distribution of the appropriate minimum strain field is obtained by solving a constrained nonlinear programming problem. Based on the strain distribution and the coefficients of the first fundamental form of the curved surface, another unconstrained nonlinear programming problem is solved to obtain the optimal developed planar shape. The convergence and complexity properties of our algorithms are analyzed theoretically and numerically. Examples show the effectiveness of the algorithms. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Magneto-Electro-Thermo-Mechanical Response of a Multiferroic Doubly-Curved Nano-Shell
Free vibration of a simply-supported magneto-electro-elastic doubly-curved nano-shell is studied based on the first-order shear deformation theory in the presence of the rotary inertia effect. To model the electric and magnetic behaviors of the nano-shell, Gauss’s laws for electrostatics and magneto statics are used. By using Navier’s method, the partial differential equations of motion are red...
متن کاملTopology of Negatively Curved Real Affine Algebraic Surfaces
We find a quartic example of a smooth embedded negatively curved surface in R homeomorphic to a doubly punctured torus. This constitutes an explicit solution to Hadamard’s problem on constructing complete surfaces with negative curvature and Euler characteristic in R. Further we show that our solution has the optimal degree of algebraic complexity via a topological classification for smooth cub...

This paper presents a static analysis of laminated composite doubly-curved shells using refined kinematic models with polynomial and non-polynomial functions recently introduced in the literature. To be specific, Maclaurin, trigonometric, exponential and zig-zag functions are employed. The employed refined models are based on the equivalent single layer theories. A simply supported shell is sub...
