Rational offset approximation of rational Bézier curves

The problem of parametric speed approximation of a rational curve is raised in this paper. Offset curves are widely used in various applications. As for the reason that in most cases the offset curves do not preserve the same polynomial or rational polynomial representations, it arouses difficulty in applications. Thus approximation methods have been introduced to solve this problem. In this paper, it has been pointed out that the crux of offset curve approximation lies in the approximation of parametric speed. Based on the Jacobi polynomial approximation theory with endpoints interpolation, an algebraic rational approximation algorithm of offset curve, which preserves the direction of normal, is presented.

Improvement of the termination criterion for subdivision of the rational Bézier curves

By using some elementary inequalities, authors in this paper makes further improvement for estimating the heights of Bézier curve and rational Bézier curve. And the termination criterion for subdivision of the rational Bézier curve is also improved. The conclusion of the extreme value problem is thus further confirmed.

A New Fractional Rational Bézier Curve

Based on rational Bézier curves given by Ron Goldman, a new fractional rational Bézier curve was first defined in terms of fractional Bernstein bases. Moreover, some basic properties were dicussed and a theorem connected to Poisson curves was obtained. Some examples in this paper were given by the visual results.

An optimization method for rational Bézier curve design

Adjusting weights as a shape control tool in rational B6zier curve design is not easy because the weights have a global in- fluence. The curve could not approximate control polygon satisfactorily by an interactive manner. In order to produce a curve close enough to control polygon at every control vertex, an optimization model is established to minimize the distance between rational B6zier curve and its control points. This optimization problem is converted to a quadratic programming problem by separating and recombining the objective function. The new combined multi-objective optimization problem is reasonable and easy to solve. With an optimal parameter, the computing process is discussed. Comparative examples show that the designed curve is closer to control polygon and preserves the shape of the control polygon well.

Free-Form Laminated Doubly-Curved Shells and Panels of Revolution Resting on Winkler-Pasternak Elastic Foundations: A 2-D GDQ Solution for Static and Free Vibration Analysis

This work presents the static and dynamic analyses of laminated doubly-curved shells and panels of revolution resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundations using the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method. The analyses are worked out considering the First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) for the above mentioned moderately thick structural elements. The effect of the shell curvatures is included from the beginning of the theory formulation in the kinematic model. The solutions are given in terms of generalized displacement components of points lying on the middle surface of the shell. Simple Rational Bézier curves are used to define the meridian curve of the revolution structures. The discretization of the system by means of the GDQ technique leads to a standard linear problem for the static analysis and to a standard linear eigenvalue problem for the dynamic analysis. Comparisons between the present formulation and the Reissner-Mindlin theory are presented. Furthermore, GDQ results are compared with those obtained by using commercial programs. Very good agreement is observed. Finally, new results are presented in order to investtigate the effects of the Winkler modulus, the Pasternak modulus and the inertia of the elastic foundation on the behavior of laminated shells of revolution.

Extraction and evolution of grader’s bionic morphological feature line using shape structure behavior function model

To improve the innovation of agricultural machinery product styling,this paper proposes a shape structure behavior function(SSBF)model suitable for the industrial design field.The feature line evolution method combining shape grammar and genetic algorithm was used for modelling the of the grader,which not only maintains the product style characteristics but also reflects the typical identification characteristics of the bionic prototype and produces a new product modelling scheme.By conducting cognitive and recognition experiments on product styling features,the ranking of product styling features and the contribution of each component to product styling were determined.The method of combining shape grammar and quadratic Bézier curve was used to express and encode feature lines,and genetic algorithm was used to evolve biomimetic forms to form product feature lines with typical biological morphological features;The extracted form bionic elements were integrated into the grader modelling design,and the interaction evaluation was carried out through the genetic algorithm evolution scheme.The basic form elements were extracted and analyzed,and the deduction rules were formulated and reorganized.The derived feature line geometric data considered the product’s image features and the bio-inspired prototype,which can be used for the follow-up guidance of industrial design schemes.

Geometric meanings of the parameters on rational conic segments

Using algebraic and geometric methods,functional relationships between a point on a conic segment and its corresponding parameter are derived when the conic segment is presented by a rational quadratic or cubic Bézier curve.That is,the inverse mappings of the mappings represented by the expressions of rational conic segments are given.These formulae relate some triangular areas or some angles,determined by the selected point on the curve and the control points of the curve,as well as by the weights of the rational Bézier curve.Also,the relationship can be expressed by the corresponding parametric angles of the selected point and two endpoints on the conic segment,as well as by the weights of the rational Bézier curve.These results are greatly useful for optimal parametrization,reparametrization,etc.,of rational Bézier curves and surfaces.
