Aesthetic Spiral for Design (
نویسنده
چکیده
A planar spiral called Generalized Log Aesthetic Curve segment (GLAC) has been proposed using the curve synthesis process with two types of formulation; ρ-shift and κ-shift. Both methods were carried out by extending the formulation of Generalized Cornu Spiral (GCS) in a similar manner to the Log Aesthetic Curve (LAC). The family of GLAC comprises of planar curves of high quality such as GCS, LAC, clothoid, logarithmic spiral and circle involute. The GLAC segment has an additional parameter to determine its shape as compared to GCS and LAC segment, hence an extra constraint can be satisfied when shaping the GLAC segment. The last section of the paper shows a numerical example.

On the variety of planar spirals and their applications in computer aided design
In this paper we discuss the variety of planar spiral segments and their applications in objects in both the real and artificial world. The discussed curves with monotonic curvature function are well-known in geometric modelling and computer aided geometric design as fair curves, and they are very significant in aesthetic shape modelling. Fair curve segments are used for two-point G1 and G2 Her...
متن کاملVariational Formulation of the Log-Aesthetic Surface and Development of Discrete Surface Filters
The log-aesthetic curves include the logarithmic (equiangular) spiral, clothoid, and involute curves. Although most of them are expressed only by an integral form of the tangent vector, it is possible to interactively generate and deform them and they are expected to be utilized for practical use of industrial and graphical design. The discrete log-aesthetic filter based on the formulation of t...
متن کاملCircle to Circle Transition with a Single Ph Quintic Spiral
This paper theoretically describes how to compose a single Pythagorean hodograph (PH) quintic Bézier spiral segment, between two circles with one circle inside the other. A spiral is free of local curvature extrema, making spiral design an interesting mathematical problem with importance for both physical and aesthetic applications. The curvature of a spiral varies monotonically with arc-length...
متن کاملSpiral length design
On the circular curve, lateral acceleration affects comfort. On the spiral, both lateral acceleration and jerk affect comfort. The determination of maximum curving speed on the basis of lateral acceleration only is not critical because the lateral acceleration is proportional to the square of speed whereas jerk is proportional to cubic power of speed. The maximum speed on a curve is thus signi...
متن کاملVortex Maze Construction
The creation of engaging mazes requires both mathematical and aesthetic considerations. We present an algorithm for producing mazes that we feel are difficult to solve. This algorithm is based on constructing and connecting obfuscating maze devices called vortices. A vortex is a collection of passages that wind around each other in a spiral and converge on a central junction. We explore variati...
