This paper presents a new framework for recovering superquadrics with global deformations from multi-view real range data. The framework aims at improving confidence and accuracy of recovered models by utilizing multiview information, and consists of the initial superquadric model recovery, view registration, view integration, and final model recovery from integrated data. A quadrant analysis t...

In order to identify physical model parameters of a high-rise building, a new story stiffness identification method is presented based on a shear-bending model and the identification function. Although a shear building model may be the simplest conventional model for representing tall buildings, the system identification (SI) method using that model is not necessarily appropriate. This is becau...

In recent decades, the CFRTP press-forming process has drawn intense research interest because of its use in automobile and industrial equipment. However, it is still very challenging to cost-effectively fabricate large, long, thick parts, such as infrastructure general-purpose structures. Therefore, authors propose partial bend-forming laminates via heating. While potential for low-power heati...

ZnTiCu (zinc-titan) sheets with approximately 0,1% Cu and 0,1% Ti content are very widely used in the construction industry for roof covering, gutters, drain pipes, facing linings, connections, window shelves, decorative elements on roofs, art products, etc. Data on the production technology of zinc-titan alloy sheet and on its forming properties are very scarce and unreliable. Therefore they m...

The dimpling process is a novel cold-roll forming process that involves dimpling of a rolled flat strip prior to the roll forming operation. This is a process undertaken to enhance the material properties and subsequent products' structural performance while maintaining a minimum strip thickness. In order to understand the complex and interrelated nonlinear changes in contact, geometry and mate...

The formed parts of tubes easily interfere with the equipment when forming complex in 3D free bending technology. Consequently, to solve interferential phenomenon, an active deflection method (ADM) avoid interference was proposed drive deformed tube around its axis by controlling die. extended activity freedom without installing additional motion shafting. However, severe section distortion, su...
