The purpose of this study is to explore the morphology of polyhedra as a tool diversifying the approach to structures and shapes, and to consider the way of the morphogenesis as structural design sources. First, through many examples in nature and styles used as the rhetorical representation of buildings, the shapes of which are based on one of polyhedra are shown. Secondly, the morphogenetic characteristics of polyhedra limited to pure lattice structure are investigated. Thereby the methodology of spatial morphogenesis of polyhedra as structural design sources are generated.

In this paper, a polyhedral element is presented to solve three-dimensional problems by developing shape functions based on Wachspress coordinates and moving least square approximation. A subdivision of polyhedrons into tetrahedral domains is performed for the construction of shape functions of polyhedral elements, and numerical integration of the weak form is carried out consistently over the tetrahedral domains. The weight functions for moving least square approximation are defined by solving Laplace equation with boundary values based on Wachspress coordinates on polyhedral element faces. Polyhedral elements presented in this paper have similar properties to conventional finite element regarding the continuity, the completeness, the node-element connectivity and the inter-element compatibility. Numerical examples show the effectiveness of the present method for solving three-dimensional problems using polyhedral elements.

This study was conducted with the focus on the process of constructing 3 definition and produced definitions as well as gifted students' conceptions of a mathematical definition In the study, the students made five types of regular polyhedrons (section1), observed them and stated their characteristics (section2) and then constructed a definition of regular polyhedrons based on their observations (section3). We divided students into two groups by analyzing students' definitions. One group made definitions that were consist with a mathematical definition of regular polyhedrons, the other one made definitions that were not. We checked if they fulfilled requirements for a mathematical definition. Researchers sought to gain various suggestions through the analysis of the observations and definition laid down by the students and through the characteristics shown by the students in the process of defining the concept.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the modes of visualization which appears in the process of thinking that mathematically gifted 6th grade students get to understand components of the three-dimensional shapes on the duality of regular polyhedrons, find the duality relation between the relations of such components, and further explore on whether such duality relation comes into existence in other regular polyhedrons. The results identified in this study are as follows: First, as components required for the process of exploring the duality relation of polyhedrons, there exist primary elements such as the number of faces, the number of vertexes, and the number of edges, and secondary elements such as the number of vertexes gathered at the same face and the number of faces gathered at the same vertex. Second, when exploring the duality relation of regular polyhedrons, mathematically gifted students solved the problems by using various modes of spatial visualization. They tried mainly to use visual distinction, dimension conversion, figure-background perception, position perception, ability to create a new thing, pattern transformation, and rearrangement. In this study, by investigating students' reactions which can appear in the process of exploring geometry problems and analyzing such reactions in conjunction with modes of visualization, modes of spatial visualization which are frequently used by a majority of students have been investigated and reactions relating to spatial visualization that a few students creatively used have been examined. Through such various reactions, the students' thinking in exploring three dimensional shapes could be understood.

In this paper, review of developed MLS-based finite elements and a proposal for their applications are described. The shape functions and their derivatives of MLS-based finite elements are constructed using Moving-Least Square approximation. In MLS-based finite element, using the adequate influence domain of weight function used in MLS approximation, kronecker delta condition could be satisfied at the element boundary. Moreover, because of the characteristics of MLS approximation, we could easily add extra nodes at an arbitrary position in MLS-based finite elements. For these reasons, until now, several variable-node elements(2D variable element for linear case and quadratic case and 3D variable-node elements) and finite crack elements are developed using MLS-based finite elements concept. MLS-based finite elements could be extended to 2D variable-node triangle element, 2D finite crack triangle element, variable-node shell element, finite crack shell element, and 3D polyhedron element. In this paper, we showed the feasibility of 3D polyhedron element at the case of femur meshing.

3 차원 입체 형상을 표현하기 위한 수단으로서 도면을 사용하는 방법이 생산현장에서 많이 활용되고 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 정투영 과정에서 정보 손실이 발생하기 때문에 3차원 후보 요소의 빈번한 조합 탐색 및 복잡한 기하 연산을 필요로 한다. 특히 , 이면도로부터 복원과정은 면도의 생략으로 인하여 수많은 허요소를 생성한다. 본 논문은 효율적인 허요소 축소를 통하여 이면도로부터 다면체를 바르게 복원하는 이단계 알고리즘을 제안한다. 1 단계에서는 이면도와의 정합성에 필수적인 최소한의 3차원 후보요소를 생성한후 , 정투영시 이면도와 일치하는 부분 물체를 복원한다. 2단계에서는 부분 물체에 직교면을 덧붙임으로써 기하학적으로 타당한 완전 물체를 복원한다. 실험결과를 통하여 제안방법이 기존 방법들에 비해 적은 수의 3차원 후보 요소를 생성시키면서 이면도로로부터 3차원 물체를 빠르게 생성하는 것을 보인다.

Finite element modeling of composite structures may be cumbersome due to complex distributions of reinforcements. In this paper, an efficient scheme is proposed that can generate periodic meshes for the composite structures. Regular meshes with hexahedral finite elements are first prepared, and the elements are then trimmed to fit external surfaces of reinforcements in the composite structures. The trimmed hexahedral finite elements located at interfaces between the matrix and the reinforcements correspond to polyhedral finite elements, which allow an arbitrary number of nodes and faces in the elements. Because the trimming process is consistently conducted by means of consistent algorithms, the elements of the reinforcements are automatically compatible with those of the matrices. With the additional consideration of periodicity of reinforcements in a representative volume element(RVE), the proposed scheme provides periodic meshes in an efficient manner, which are compatible for each pair of periodic boundaries of the RVE. Therefore, periodic boundary conditions for the RVE are enforced straightforwardly. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for finite element modeling of complex composite structures.

중립면은 셸 (솔리드 모델) 유한 요소 생성, 로보트 이동 경로 계산, 특징 형상 판별 등에서 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 기존 중립면 계산 알고리즘들은 연립 방정식을 수렴성이 보장되지 않는 수치 해법으로 풀어야 했기 때문에 발전이 미비했다. 본 논문은 복셀-이등분 면의 교자성을 이용한 중립면 계산 알고리즘을 제시한다. 교차성은 보로노이 영역을 사용, 단순한 기하학적 요소간의 거리 비교로 판별한다. 이런 기하학적인 접근 방법은 기본적으로 수렴성 문제가 배제된다.
