Improved Blends between Primitive Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
By applying results on canal surfaces, we study exact rational parametrizations of fixed radius rolling ball blends of pairs of natural quadrics. We classify all configurations where this kind of rational parametrization is possible, and describe a general algorithm for parametrizing fixed radius rolling ball blends. The algorithm is then applied to parametrize the fixed radius rolling ball blends of pairs of natural quadrics. 2.

Dupin Cyclide Blends Between Quadric Surfaces for Shape Modeling
We introduce a novel method to define Dupin cyclide blends between quadric primitives. Dupin cyclides are nonspherical algebraic surfaces discovered by French mathematician Pierre-Charles Dupin at the beginning of the 19th century. As a Dupin cyclide can be fully characterized by its principal circles, we have focussed our study on how to determine principal circles tangent to both quadrics bei...
متن کاملBlending of Surfaces of Revolution and Planes by Dupin cyclides
This paper focuses on the blending of a plane with surfaces of revolution relying on Dupin cyclides, which are algebraic surfaces of degree 4 discovered by the French mathematician Pierre-Charles Dupin early in the 19th century. A general algorithm is presented for the construction of two kinds of blends: pillar and recipient. This algorithm uses Rational Quadric Bézier Curves (RQBCs) to model ...
متن کاملField Functions for Blending Range Controls on Soft Objects
This paper proposes new field functions that have adjustable inner radius and outer radius of influence. Incorporating the proposed field functions with soft object modeling, soft blending, Ricci’s super-ellipsoid blends, Perlin’s set operations, and R-functions, etc. can have blending range controls by adjusting the inner and the outer radii of influence of given field functions. As a result, ...
متن کاملInterfacial segregation in polymer blends driven by acid-base interactions.
Infrared-visible sum frequency generation spectroscopy (SFG) was used to measure the interfacial concentrations of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/polystyrene (PS) blends next to a sapphire substrate. The acid-base interactions of carbonyl groups of PMMA with the hydroxyl groups on the sapphire drive the interfacial segregation of PMMA next to the sapphire substrate. Using the shift of sapphir...
متن کاملPolypropylene /Polystyrene in situ nano reinforced blends fiber: Morphology and properties
Polypropylene / polystyrene blends containing montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared using a twin screw extruder followed by fiber spinning. The melt intercalation of PP and PS alloys was carried out in the presence of a compatibilizer such as maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene (MPP). The crystallization morphology, thermal behaviors and mechanical properties of polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) nan...
