Synthesizing images of animated scenes with indirect illumination and glossy materials at interactive frame rates commonly ignores indirect shadows. In this work we extend a class of indirect lighting algorithms that splat shading to a framebuffer – we demonstrate deep screen space and ambient occlusion volumes – to include indirect visibility. To this end we propose the bounced z-buffer: While...

A micromechanical model is developed to predict microstructure evolution and the resultant in-plane modulus increase in a thermal barrier coating (TBC) manufactured by air plasma spray (APS). The based on experimental observation that main sintering events include progressive healing of inter-splat cracks coarsening columnar grains within splats. During sintering, splats undergo Coble creep, wh...

SPLAT (Sentence Plan Language Authoring Tool) is an authoring tool intended to facilitate the creation of sentence-plan specifications for the Penman natural language generation system. SPLAT uses an examplebased approach in the form of sentence.plan templates to aid the user in creating and maintaining sentence plans. SPLAT also contains a sentence bank, a user-extensible collection of sentenc...

• Debonding of solidified splat was observed under various impact conditions. Scraping test conducted to evaluate the adhesion strength splat. explains debonding behavior Tensile residual stress reduces scraping force and prevents removal splats is a crucial issue for thermal sprayed coatings, which greatly influences performance lifetime industrial components. The purpose this study provide an...

A single splat is the building block of a thermal spray coating; thus, investigating single splats is essential to understanding thermal spray coatings and their properties. In this study, the spreading behavior and the morphology of flame sprayed ethylene methacrylic acid (EMAA) splats, deposited at various stand-off distances (SODs) onto glass and mild steel substrates were investigated using...
