چکیده
A general formulation for determining complex sweeps comprising a multiple of parameters has been presented by the authors in recent work. This paper investigates the boundaries to swept volumes, and in specific, addresses the problem of determination of voids in the volume. The determination of voids has become of major concern in CAD software, where the accurate calculation of the swept volume is used in computing solid properties such as mass and moments of inertia. A mathematical formulation based on the concept of a normal acceleration function on singular surfaces is introduced. Criteria are derived regarding the identification of a boundary from the definiteness properties of the normal acceleration function. Numerical examples are illustrated in detail and represent the first treatment of void identification in complex sweeps. q 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

متن کاملA constructive approach to solving 3-D geometric constraint systems using dependence analysis
Solving geometric constraint systems in 3-D is much more complicated than that in 2-D because the number of variables is larger and some of the results valid in 2-D cannot be extended for 3-D. In this paper, we propose a new DOF-based graph constructive method to geometric constraint systems solving that can ef®ciently handle well-, over-and under-constrained systems based on the dependence ana...
متن کاملReverse engineering of geometric models - an introduction
In many areas of industry, it is desirable to create geometric models of existing objects for which no such model is available. This paper reviews the process of reverse engineering of shapes. After identifying the purpose of reverse engineering and the main application areas, the most important algorithmic steps are outlined and various reconstruction strategies are presented. Pros and cons of...
متن کاملApproximation of developable surfaces with cone spline surfaces
Developable surfaces are modelled with pieces of right circular cones. These cone spline surfaces are well-suited for applications: They possess degree two parametric and implicit representations. Bending sequences and the development can be explicitly computed and the offsets are of the same type. The algorithms are based on elementary analytic and constructive geometry. There appear interesti...
متن کاملBisector curves of planar rational curves
This paper presents a simple and robust method for computing the bisector of two planar rational curves. We represent the correspondence between the foot points on two planar rational curves C1(t) and C2(r) as an implicit curve F(t; r) = 0, where F(t; r) is a bivariate polynomial B-spline function. Given two rational curves of degree m in the xy-plane, the curve F(t; r) = 0 has degree 4m 2, whi...
