This study has been inspired by the paper "An efficient 3D topology optimization code written in MATLAB” written by Liu and Tovar (2014) demonstrating that SIMP-based three-dimensional (3D) topology optimization of continuum structures can be implemented in 169 lines of MATLAB code. Based on the above paper, we show here that, by simple and easy-to-understand modificati...

community consists of almost 600 people coming from over 100 organisations. The activities of the 3D Pilot cover two phases: an explorative phase, carried out between January 2010 and June 2011 and an implementation-oriented phase, finished at the end of 2012. The major achievement of the first phase was the establishment of a national 3D standard. This standard is embedded in a formal informat...

In 3D worlds, the added dimension gives users the feeling of perceiving a more realistic presentation. Therefore, 3D is very attractive for different research and development areas like in the field of Games and Serious Games. The spatial perception and spatial presence experience of the user are different when using 3D in contrast to 2D applications. In the context of the project ‘Sports in th...

Approaches for cross-pose face recognition can be categorized into 2D image based and 3D model based. However, only a small number of 3D model based approaches are reported although 3D information is considered crucial for cross-pose analysis. Extended from a latest face reconstruction method using a single 3D reference model, this study focuses on using the reconstructed 3D face for recognitio...

3D object modeling and fine-grained classification are often treated as separate tasks. We propose to optimize 3D model fitting and fine-grained classification jointly. Detailed 3D object representations encode more information (e.g., precise part locations and viewpoint) than traditional 2D-based approaches, and can therefore improve fine-grained classification performance. Meanwhile, the pred...

In this study based on ethnographic methods, we investigated how using a three-dimensional (3D) printed liver influenced doctors during liver resection surgery. Results of the analyses implied that using the 3D printed liver enhanced the construction of elaborate mental models of patients’ livers, the mental simulation of liver resections, and the construction of shared mental models of patient...

This study investigated the performance and aeroelastic characteristics of a wind turbine blade based on strongly coupled approach (two-way fluid structure interaction) to simulate the transient FSI[1] responses of HAWT[2]. Aerodynamic response was obtained by 3D CFD-URANS approach and structural response was obtained by 3D Finite element method. ...
