Electrowetting (EW) has recently been demonstrated as a powerful tool for controlling droplet morphology on smooth and artificially structured surfaces. The present work involves a systematic experimental investigation of the influence of electrowetting in determining and altering the state of a static droplet resting on an artificially microstructured surface. Extensive experimentation is carr...

Recent developments in formulations for generating swept volumes have made a significant impact on the efficiency of employing such algorithms and on the extent to which formulations can be used in representing complex shapes. In this paper, we outline a method for employing the representation of implicit surfaces using the Jacobian rank deficiency condition presented earlier for the sweep of p...

Visualizations of 2D scalar fields are often based on the rendering of 3D surfaces. Combinations of standard 3D rendering techniques using color, transparency, texturing, and lighting can be employed to create visualizations for multiple surfaces. However, the transition from foreground to background due to surface intersections can confound accurate surface perception, even for techniques that...

We present a review on recent work performed on periodic complex metallic alloy (CMA) surfaces. The electronic and crystallographic structures of clean pseudo-tenfold, pseudo-twofold, sixfold surfaces will be presented along with the recent findings on CMA of lower structural complexity, i.e. with a smaller unit cell. The use of CMA surfaces as templates for thin film growth and the formation o...

The intersection lines between discontinuity surfaces and their intersection points on the visible surfaces of any engineering structure may be the instability indicators. This paper describes a new approach to modelling the intersecting lines and points that would provide the first evaluation of any instability in an engineering structure characterized by the failure modes. In this work, the i...

agricultural crops and food materials exert frictional forces on agricultural machinery elements and on storage walls during their harvest, transportation, processing and storage. coefficient of friction is an important parameter to be predetermined in designing equipments and evaluating processes. an assessment of the coefficient of friction for agricultural materials is usually done through s...

in this paper, the time-like hyperruled surfaces in the minkowski 4-space and their algebraicinvariants are worked. also some characteristic results are found about these algebraic invariants.

in this paper, the dual area vector of a closed dual spherical curve is kinematically generatedand the dual steineer vector of a motion are extensively studied by the methods of differential geometry.jacobi’s theorems, known for real curves, are investigated for closed dual curves. the closed trajectorysurfaces generated by an oriented line are fixed in a moving rigid body in ir3 , in which the...

introduction: until now, many models have been presented for optical study of the human eye. in recent years, surgery on the anterior section of the eye (such as cataract and photo-refractive surgery) has increased, so a study on the optics of the eye and evaluation of vision quality has become more important. material and methods: in this article, some of these models are considered. they incl...
