Interactive Modeling and Subdivision of Flexible Equilateral Triangular Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on the requests from architects, we developed a system which allows to interactively design and subdivide flexible triangular surfaces. Due to economical reasons the number of different types of building elements should be small. For that reason we only use equilateral base triangles of unique size with the possibility of subdivision. To allow to interactively move vertices and to ensure constant edge length we use force-directed methods instead of inverse kinematics. This paper describes the data structure, the algorithm and the influence of subdivision on the kinematic flexibility of the mesh.

Numerical investigation on the effects of six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular configurations on fluid flow and forced convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder
The present work deals with heat transfer characteristics as well as fluid flow patterns in laminar flow regime for a circular cylinder with six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular geometries. The computations have been carried out by a finite volume approach using the overset grid method. The unsteady flow at Re= 200 and Pr= 0.7 and 7.0 was examined. The effect of the control rods ...
متن کاملOptimal Interpolatory Wavelets Transform for Multiresolution Triangular Meshes
In recent years, several matrix-valued subdivisions have been proposed for triangular meshes. The matrix-valued subdivisions can simulate and extend the traditional scalar-valued subdivision, such as loop and 3 subdivision. In this paper, we study how to construct the matrix-valued subdivision wavelets, and propose the novel biorthogonal wavelet based on matrix-valued subdivisions on multiresol...
متن کاملBroadband Gap-coupled Variations of Equilateral Triangular Microstrip Antennas
Various broadband multi-resonator gap-coupled configurations of equilateral triangular microstrip antenna and its compact variation, half equilateral triangular microstrip antenna, are proposed. The broadband proximity fed equilateral triangular microstrip antenna yields bandwidth of more than 650 MHz (~44%), whereas equivalent proximity fed gap-coupled half equilateral triangular microstrip an...
متن کاملSubdivision interpolating implicit surfaces
Interpolating implicit surfaces using radial basis functions can directly specify surface points and surface normals with closed form solutions, so they are elegantly used in surface reconstruction and shape morphing. This paper presents subdivision interpolating implicit surfaces, a new progressive subdivision tessellation scheme for interpolating implicit surfaces controlled by a triangular m...
متن کاملWord-Representability of Face Subdivisions of Triangular Grid Graphs
A graph G = (V,E) is word-representable if there exists a word w over the alphabet V such that letters x and y alternate in w if and only if (x, y) ∈ E. A triangular grid graph is a subgraph of a tiling of the plane with equilateral triangles defined by a finite number of triangles, called cells. A face subdivision of a triangular grid graph is replacing some of its cells by plane copies of the...
