However, it is an indication of veracity and optimization of the reparameterization to do prior to judge whether the maximal ratio of weights reaches minimum, and verify the new weights after MSbius transfor- mation. What＇s more the users of computer aided design softwares may require some guidelines for designing rational B6zier curves or surfaces with the smallest ratio of weights. In this paper we present the necessary and sufficient conditions that the maximal ratio of weights of the curves or surfaces reaches minimum and also describe it by using weights succinctly and straightway. The weights being satisfied these conditions are called being in the stable state. Applying such conditions, any giving rational B6zier curve or surface can automatically be adjusted to come into the stable state by CAD system, that is, the curve or surface possesses its optimal para- metric distribution. Finally, we give some numerical examples for demonstrating our results in important applications of judging the stable state of weights of the curves or surfaces and designing rational B6zier surfaces with compact derivative bounds.展开更多

Using the property of bivariate Jacobi basis functions, it further presents two algorithms for multi-degree reduction of triangular Bezier surfaces with constraints, providing explicit degree-reduced surfaces. The first algorithm can obtain the explicit representation of the optimal degree-reduced surfaces and the approximating error in both boundary curve constraints and corner constraints. But it has to solve the inversion of a matrix whose degree is related with the original surface. The second algorithm entails no matrix inversion to bring about computational instability, gives stable degree-reduced surfaces quickly, and presents the error bound. In the end, the paper proves the efficiency of the two algorithms through examples and error analysis.展开更多

Most of the current variation analysis methods either neglect the relationships among feature points on part surfaces or regard the distribution of all feature points as the same. In this study, the problem of flexible curved surface assembly is simplified to the matching of side lines. A methodology based on Bézier curves is proposed to represent the side lines of surfaces. It solves the variation analysis problem of flexible curved surface assembly when considering surface continuity through the relations between control points and data points. The deviations of feature points on side lines are obtained through control point distribution and are then regarded as inputs in commercial finite element analysis software to calculate the final product deformations. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated in two cases of antenna surface assembly.展开更多

Moreover, it shows great application potentials in architecture. We focus on the problem how to cover bounded asymptotic curves by a freeform surface. The paper presents the necessary and sufficient conditions for quadrilateral with non-inflection being asymptotic boundary curves of a surface. And then, with given corner data, we model quintic Bezier asymptotic quadrilateral interpolated by a smooth Bezier surface of bi-eleven degree. We handle the available degrees of freedom during the construction to get an optimized result. Some representative surfaces bounded by asymptotic curves with lines or inflections are also discussed by examples. The presented interpolation scheme for the construction of tensor-product Bezier surfaces is compatible with the CAD systems.展开更多
