In this study, a novel design approach that could guide the generation of exact spatial parabolic mesh configurations of such reflector was proposed. By incorporating the traditional force density method with the standard finite element method, this proposed approach had taken the deformation effects of flexible ring truss supports into consideration, and searched for the desired mesh shapes that can satisfy the requirement that all the free nodes are exactly located on the objective paraboloid. Compared with the conventional design method,a remarkable improvement of surface accuracy in the obtained mesh shapes had been demonstrated by numerical examples. The present work would provide a helpful technical reference for the mesh shape design of such cable-network antenna reflector in engineering practice.展开更多

Differing from existing works that often computed the intrinsic surface property of visibility in imaging space, a novel approach is proposed to approxi- mate the attribute in object space using Gauss map and Ray tracing. With the presented shape descriptor, mesh saliency detection, which refers to reasoning about which regions or points of a surface axe important, is more sensible, especially when 3D models fall into two categories： （1） the models possess significant interior/exterior structures; （2） the models contain regions where the contrast in visibility is high. For the models that are out of the categories, saliencies achieved by our approach are comparable to or even better than those of state-of-the-axt methods.展开更多

A mesh-generating method from permanence principle of Coons patch is developed. A new mesh point is defined through local small subpatch and all mesh points are computed by a linear system with special symmetric block tridiagonal coefficient matrix. By simplification, the determinant of coefficient matrix is determined by determinants of submatrices. Condition of existence of solution is given. Whether coefficient matrix is singular can be judged by a simple polynomial function with the eigenvalue of submatrix as variable. Numerical examples demonstrate the effects of shape parameters.展开更多

These locomotor mechanisms have a popular interest to many researchers. In the present study, we perform a three-dimensional unsteady computation of an undulatory mechanical fin that is driven by Shape Memory Alloy （SMA）. The objective of the computation is to investigate the fluid dynamics of force production associated with the undulatory mechanical fin. An unstructured, grid-based, unsteady Navier-Stokes solver with automatic adaptive remeshing is used to compute the unsteady flow around the fin through five complete cycles. The pressure distribution on fin surface is computed and integrated to provide fin forces which are decomposed into lift and thrust. The velocity field is also computed throughout the swimming cycle. Finally, a comparison is conducted to reveal the dynamics of force generation according to the kinematic parameters of the undulatory fin （amplitude, frequency and wavelength）.展开更多

In this paper, an enhanced shape distributions-based technique of using geometrical and topological information to search 3D engineering models represented by polygonal meshes was presented. A simplification method of polygonal meshes was used to simplify engineering model as the pretreatment for generation of sample points. The method of sampling points was improved and a pair of functions that was more sensitive to shape was employed to construct a 2D shape distribution. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the proposed algorithm utilizing the Engineering Shape Benchmark (ESB) database. The experiential results suggest that the search effectiveness is significantly improved by enforcing the simplification and enhanced shape distributions to engineering model retrieval.展开更多

Design of experiments（ DOE） and response surface method（ RSM） are applied to approximate the constitutive parameters of a machine gun system based on experimental tests. Further FEA,secondary development technique and genetic algorithm（ GA） are introduced to find all the optimal solutions in one go and the optimal design of the demonstrated machine gun system is obtained.
