Free-form deformations (FFD) constitute an important geometric shape modification method that has been extensively investigated for computer animation and geometric modelling. In this work, we show that FFDs are also very effective to fit deformable models to the kind of noisy 3–D data that vision algorithms such as stereo tend to produce. We advocate the use of Dirichlet Free Form Deformation ...

The aim of the present study is the prediction of critical conditions (including critical strain and flow stress) for the initiation of dynamic recrystallization during thermo-mechanical processing of plain carbon steels. For this propose, torsion tests were conducted at different temperature (1050, 1100 and 1150˚C) and strain rates (0.002, 0.02 and 0.2/s). All flow curves showed a peak st...

the full annealing aa6061 aluminum alloy was subjected to severe plastic deformationvia the combination of equal channel angular pressing (ecap) and cold rolling (cr) in order torefine its microstructure and to improve its mechanical properties. according to the results of hotand cold tensile tests, the combination of ecap and cr significantly affected the final strengthand ductility of studied...

In the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. In this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using Abaqus software. In this study, it has been employed the Taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...

A hybrid physical-based deformation modeling (HPDM) technique for our laparoscopic surgery simulation system is proposed. The proposed technique consists of three components: (i) approximate continuum free-form deformation modeling, (ii) efficient collision detection for non-rigid objects, and (iii) mass-spring modeling for force feedback implementation. Three physical-based deformation modelin...

Abstract. To achieve sparse description that allows intuitive analysis, we aim to represent deformation with a basis containing interpretable elements, and we wish to use elements that have the description capacity to represent the deformation compactly. We accomplish this by introducing higher order kernels in the LDDMM registration framework. The kernels allow local description of affine tran...
