On the variety of planar spirals and their applications in computer aided design

چکیده
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 Hermite interpolation, as well as for generating aesthetic splines.

Rational cubic spirals
We consider the problem of finding parametric rational Bézier cubic spirals (planar curves of monotonic curvature) that interpolate end conditions consisting of positions, tangents and curvatures. Rational cubics give more design flexibility than polynomial cubics for creating spirals, making them suitable for many applications. The problem is formulated to enable the numerical robustness and e...

متن کاملDrug Discovery Acceleration Using Digital Microfluidic Biochip Architecture and Computer-aided-design Flow
A Digital Microfluidic Biochip (DMFB) offers a promising platform for medical diagnostics, DNA sequencing, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and drug discovery and development. Conventional Drug discovery procedures require timely and costly manned experiments with a high degree of human errors with no guarantee of success. On the other hand, DMFB can be a great solution for miniaturization, int...
متن کاملEfficient Voronoi diagram construction for planar freeform spiral curves
We present a real-time algorithm for computing the Voronoi diagram of planar freeform piecewise-spiral curves. The efficiency and robustness of our algorithm is based on a simple topological structure of Voronoi cells for spirals. Using a Möbius transformation, we provide an efficient search for maximal disks. The correct topology of Voronoi diagram is computed by sampling maximal disks systema...
متن کاملComputer Aided Design for Single-Phase Induction Motors Based on a New Gemoetrical Approach
Design of electrical motors normally involves two main stages: i) Preparation of the main dimensions and parameters. ii) Prediction of the performance. At the first stage the main dimensions of the motor, core stack Lfe and stator outer diameter Do, must be chosen. A set of performance conditions such as breakdown torque, desired output and other important parameters must satisfy the internatio...
