For a long time, the geometry dimensions of tenons have been designed through empirical methods, which is not beneficial to designers and manufacturers results in more time spent construction greater amount waste wood materials. In this study, an optimal methodology combining finite element analysis (FEA) with response surface method (RSM) was proposed investigate effect tenon geometric (length...

Virtual decomposition control is applied to control a KUKA 361 six-joint industrial robot performing hybrid tasks with a rigid unilateral constraint. In order to accommodate motion/force control, the required velocity is re-designed by introducing filtered contact forces in full control dimensions, which makes the controlled robot behave as hybrid controlled for a known contact geometry and imp...

This work presents a method for deforming meshes in a shape-sensible way using Moving Least Squares (MLS) optimization. This work explains how an approach for deforming space [10] can be transformed into a skeleton-guided deformation scheme, where more sensitivity to the mesh geometry is achieved. Given a mesh and its skeleton, for each joint a minimization problem is solved subject to position...

The complexified Calogero-Moser spaces appeared in several different contexts in integrable systems, geometry, and representation theory. In this talk, we will describe a criterion for their real loci. The final result is geometric and the proofs are representation theoretic using rational Cherednik algebras. As a consequence, we obtain a second (independent) proof of the Shapiro conjecture for...

Preface This thesis considers problems derived from industrial engineering, and treats them in a rather theoretical setting, called ªcomputational geometryº. This work has been carried out within the research group of Mark Overmars, which is centered around applied algorithms, i.e. solving problems that are inspired by practical implications. My ®rst introduction to computational geometry was v...

Graph matching aims to establish correspondences between vertices of graphs such that both the node and edge attributes agree. Various learning-based methods were recently proposed for finding image key points based on deep graph formulations. While these approaches mainly focus learning attributes, they completely ignore 3D geometry underlying objects depicted in 2D images. We fill this gap by...

In this work, the effect of adherend shape on the tensile strength of adhesively bonded single lap aluminum structures joint was numerically studied using three dimensional finite element models. Six joint models were investigated. In this paper, a static finite element analysis was performed in A...
