چکیده

This paper presents a method to obtain a single continuos polygonal mesh representing a branched structure taken from a tree and modelled by a L-systems-based method. A refinement process is made once the model of the tree is obtained. This process produces smooth transitions in the tree areas joining the branches. That is, the overlapping problems and geometry discontinuities are avoided. Because of this process, a continuous polygonal mesh that represents all the tree branches is generated. This mesh allows mesh simplification algorithms.

Modelling tree structures using a single polygonal mesh

This paper presents a method to obtain a polygonal mesh representing the ramified structure of a tree. We use a method based on L-systems to model the tree. A refining process is applied once the model of the tree is obtained. Soft transitions are achieved in the areas of the tree where there are divisions. In this way, we avoid the possible superimposition and discontinuity problems in geometr...

Embedded Implicit Stand-Ins for Animated Meshes: A Case of Hybrid Modelling

In this paper we address shape modelling problems, encountered in computer animation and computer games development that are difficult to solve just using polygonal meshes. Our approach is based on a hybrid modelling concept that combines polygonal meshes with implicit surfaces. A hybrid model consists of an animated polygonal mesh and an approximation of this mesh by a convolution surface stan...

A freeform shape optimization of complex structures represented by arbitrary polygonal or polyhedral meshes

In this paper we propose a new scheme for freeform shape optimization on arbitrary polygonal or polyhedral meshes. The approach consists of three main steps: (1) surface partitioning of polygonal meshes into different patches; (2) a new freeform perturbation scheme of using the Cox–de Boor basis function over arbitrary polygonal meshes, which supports multi-resolution shape optimization and doe...

Fabrication of Organic Solar Cells with Branched Cauliflower-Like Nano Structures as a Back Electrode Replicated from a Natural Template of Cicada Wing Patterns

Nanostructures of noble metal materials have been used in organic solar cells for enhancement of performance and light trapping. In this study, we have introduced branched silver cauliflower-like nanopatterns as sub-wavelength structured metal grating in organic solar cells. Self-assembled fabrication process of branched nanopatterns was carried out on a bio-template of cicada wing nanonipple a...

A two dimensional Simulation of crack propagation using Adaptive Finite Element Analysis

Finite element method (FEM) is one of the most famous methods which has many applications in varies studies such as the study of crack propagation in engineering structures. However, unless extremely fine meshes are employed, problem arises in accurately modelling the singular stress field in the singular element area around the crack tip. In the present study, the crack growth simulation has b...
