The Visualization of 3D Stress and Stain Tensor Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
Second-order tensors are a fundamental entity in engineering, physical sciences and biomechanics. Examples are stresses and strains in solids and velocity gradients in fluid flows. The visualization of tensor fields improves the understanding and interpretation of tensor data and is therefore of paramount importance for the scientist. This paper gives an introduction to the definition and visualization of stress and strain tensor fields suitable for the Computer Scientist. Several visualization methods for tensor fields are introduced with a simple example.

A Visual Approach to Analysis of Stress Tensor Fields
We present a visual approach for the exploration of stress tensor fields. Therefore, we introduce the idea of multiple linked views to tensor visualization. In contrast to common tensor visualization methods that only provide a single view to the tensor field, we pursue the idea of providing various perspectives onto the data in attribute and object space. Especially in the context of stress te...
متن کاملVisualizing Second-Order Tensor Fields
ecause scientists don't have proper tensor-display techB niques, they now visualize many physical problems incompletely in terms of vector or scalar data. Scientists could undoubtedly get new insights into these problems if they had a methodology for visualizing 3D second-order tensor fields. We present hyperstreamlines as a way of visualizing these data. Second-order tensor fields are fundamen...
متن کاملThe Benefits and implementations of Diffusion tensor imaging and Neural Fiber Tractography in Brain Surgery
Background and Aim: The methods for detecting brain activation with fMRI, MRI provides a way to measure the anatomical connections which enable lightning-fast communication among neurons that specialize in different kinds of brain functions. Diffusion tensor imaging is able to measure the direction of bundles of the axonal fibers which are all aligned. Besides mapping white matter fiber tracts,...
متن کاملMeshing of Diffusion Surfaces for Point-Based Tensor Field Visualization
The visualization of 3D vector and tensor fields in a 2D image is challenging because the large amount of information will either be mixed during projection to 2D or lead to severe occlusion problems. In this work we segment from the symmetric 3D tensor field regions dominated by stream tubes and regions dominated by diffusion surfaces. The diffusion surfaces are integrated with a higher order ...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic effect of nonuniform electric fields on the protoplast cell
In recent years, dielectrophoresis based microfluidics systems have been used to manipulate colloids, inert particles, and biological microparticles, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, cancer cells, bacteria, yeast, microorganisms, proteins, DNA, etc. In the current study the governing electric potential equations have been solved in the presence of cell for the purpose of ...
