We fabricated and characterized an optical delay line for optical coherence tomography (OCT). The delay line was composed of a cylindrical piezoelectric transduce (PZT) and a single mode optical fiber. The OCT system used a duplex scanning optical delay line which was symmetrically driven in the reference and sample arms. We showed that the sinusoidal-wave was superior to a triangular-wave for driving the optical delay line for scanning depth and repeatability.

This paper deals with the problem of generating a uniform tetrahedral mesh which fills a 3-D space with the tetrahedra which are close to the equilateral tetrahedra as possible. This problem is particularly interesting in finite element modeling where a fat triangulation minimizes the error of an analysis. Fat triangulation is defined as a scheme for generating an equilateral triangulation as possible in a given dimension. In finite element modeling, there are many algorithms for generating a mesh in 2-D and 3-D. One of the difficulties in generating a mesh in 3-D is that a 3-D object can not be filled with uniform equilateral tetrahedra only regardless of the shape of the boundary. Fat triangulation in 3-D has been proved to be the one which fills a 3-D space with the tetrahedra which are close to the equilateral as possible. Topological and geometrical properties of the fat triangulation and its application to meshing algorithm are investigated.

In this paper. a new automatic multi=block grid generation technique for general 2D regions is introduced. According to this simple and robust method, the domain of interest is first triangulated by using Delaunay triangulation of boundary points, and then geometric information of those triangles is used to obtain block topology. Once block boundaries are obtained. structured grid for each block is generated such that grid lines have $C^0-continuity$ across inter-block boundaries. In the final step of the present method, an elliptic grid generation method is applied to smoothen grid distribution for each block and also to re-locale the inter-block boundaries, and eventually to achieve a globally smooth multi-block structured grid system with $C^1-continuity$.

The Delaunay triangulation technique was tested for complicated shapes of computational domain. While a simple geometry, both in topology and in geometry, was discretized well into triangular elements. a complex geometry often failed in triangularization. A complex geometry should be devided into smaller sub-domains whose shape is simple both topologically and geometrically. The present study developed the data structures not only for relationships among neibering elements but also for shape information, and coupled these into the Delaunay triangulation technique. This approach was able to enhance greatly the reliability of triangularization specially in complicated shapes of computational domains. The GUI (Graphic User Interface) and OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) were used in order to develop the user-friendly and efficient computer code.

In this paper, a new meshfree technique which improves the numerical integration accuracy is introduced. This new method called the Petrov-Galerkin natural element(PG-NE) is based on the Voronoi diagram and the Delaunay triangulation which is based on the same concept used for conventional natural element method called the Bubnov-Galerkin natural element(BG-NE). But, unlike BG-NE method, the test shape function is differently chosen from the trial shape function. The proposed technique ensures that the numerical integration error is remarkably reduced.

A method of three-demensional finite element mesh generation is presented in this paper. This method is based on the Delaunay's triangulation whose dual is Voronoi's diagram. A set of points is given on the boundary surface of the concerning domain and the initial tetrahedra are generated by the given set of points. Then, the quality of every tetrahedron is investigated and the interior points are generated near the tetrahedra which are inferior in quality and the tetrahedra of good quality can be controlled by the density of the initial boundary points. Regions with different material constant can be refined in tetrahedra respectively. To confirm the effectiveness of this algorithm,the total volume of tetrahedra was compared to the true volume and this mesh generator was applied to a three-dimensional electostatic problem.

The objective of this research is to develop an efficient reverse engineering method of 3-dimensional compound surfaces for raped prototyping process. As a first step, several image processing techniques were applied to the measured data obtained using laser scanner. And the boundary information of the compound surface were extracted to divide the surface into several separate regions. As a next step, the Delaunay triangulation method were applied to reconstruct the surface based on the measured data and the boundary information. Finally, the STL file were created for the rapid prototyping process. Required simulations and experiments were performed and the results were analyzed to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Delaunay triangulation is well balanced in the sense that the triangles tend toward equiangularity. And so, Delaunay triangulation hasn't some slivers triangle. It's commonly used in various field of CAD applications, such as shape reconstruction, solid modeling and volume rendering. In this paper, an improved Delaunay triangulation is proposed in 2-dimensions. The suggested algorithm subdivides a uniform grids into sub-quad grids, and so efficient where points are non-uniform distribution. To get the mate from quad-subdivision algorithm, the area where triangulation-patch will be most likely created should be searched first.

Presented in the paper is a procedure to reconstruct a triangular mesh from a point cloud. Although, the proposed procedure is based on the well-known Voronoi diagram approach, it introduces a selection method of 'Pole' to improve the quality of resulting mesh. To select the appropriate Poles for high quality of Triangular mesh, the patterns that the Poles affect to the mesh quality are carefully analyzed. It is possible to improve the mesh quality by controlling the selection method of 'Pole' in terms of distance limit. The initial mesh obtained by the proposed procedure may include invalid triangles. To relieve this problem, a slicing method is proposed to remove invalid triangles from the initial mesh. At last, correcting technique of normal vectors of generated mesh is introduced.
