Developable surface plays an important role in computer aided design and manufacturing systems. This paper is concerned with improving the develop ability of mesh. Since subdivision is an efficient way to design complicated surface, we intend to improve the developability of the mesh obtained from Loop subdivision. The problem is formulated as a constrained optimization problem. The optimization is performed on the coordinates of the points of the mesh, together with the constraints of minimizing shape difference and maximizing developability, a developability improved mesh is obtained.

In the present study, stern form optimization has been carried out using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. The viscous pressure drag has been minimized to optimize stern shape. Parametric modification function has been used to modify the shape of the hull. By the use of the parametric modification function and algebraic scheme to grid manipulation, the initial ship geometry was easily deformed according to change of design parameters. For purpose of illustration, KRISO 319K VLCC (KVLCC) is chosen for example ship to demonstrate stern form optimization. The numerical results indicate that the optimized hull yields a reduction in viscous resistance.

In this paper, to develop a smart CAD/CAM system for systematically performing from the 3-D solid shape design of products to the CNC cutting operation of products by a machining center, a B-Rep solid modeler is realized based on the half edge data structure. Because the B-Rep solid modeler has the various capabilities related to the solid definition functions such as the creation operation of primitives and the translational and rotational sweep operation, the solid manipulation functions such as the split operation and the Boolean set operation, and the solid inversion function for effectively using the data structure, the 3-D solid shape of products can be easily designed and constructed. Also, besides the automatic generation of CNC code, the B-Rep solid modeler can be used as a powerful tool for realizing the automatic generation of finite elements, the interfer- ence check between solids, the structural design of machine tools and robots and so on.

This study introduces a novel method for predicting the shape of soft catheter robots embedded with electromagnets. As an advancement in the realm of soft robotics, these catheter robots are crafted from flexible and pliable materials, ensuring enhanced safety and adaptability during interactions with human tissues. Given the pivotal role of catheters in minimally invasive surgeries (MIS), our design stands out by facilitating active control over the orientation and intensity of the inbuilt electromagnets. This ensures precise targeting and manipulation of the catheter segments. The research encompasses a comprehensive breakdown of the magnetic modeling, tracking algorithms, experimental layout, and analytical techniques. Both simulation and experimental results validate the efficacy of our method, underscoring its potential to augment accuracy in MIS and revolutionize healthcare-oriented soft robotics.

As an alternative way to get sophisticated nanostructures, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to directly manipulate building primitives. In particular, assembly of metallic nanoparticles(NPs) can provide various structures for making various metamolecules. As far, conventionally made polygonal shaped metallic NPs showed non-uniform distribution in size and shape which limit its study of fundamental properties and practical applications. In here, we optimized conditions for deterministic manipulation of ultra-smooth and super-spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by AFM. [1] Lowered adhesion force by using platinum-iridium coated AFM tips enabled us to push super-spherical AuNPs in linear motion to pre-programmed position. As a result, uniform and reliable electric/magnetic behaviors of assembled metamolecules were achieved which showed a good agreement with simulation data. Furthermore, visualization of near field for super-spherical AuNPs was also addressed using photosensitive azo-dye polymers. Since the photosensitive azo-dye polymers can directly record the intensity of electric field, optical near field can be mapped without complicated instrumental setup. [2] By controlling embedding depth of AuNPs, we studied electric field of AuNPs in different configuration.

Of all the rapid tooling (RT) methods currently available, thick-layer laminated tooling is the most suitable for large-scale, low-cost dies and molds. Currently, the determination of a lamina's contour or profile and the associated slicing algorithms are based on existing rapid prototyping (RP) data manipulation technology. This paper presents a new adaptive slicing algorithm developed exclusively for profiled edge laminae (PEL) tooling PEL tooling is a thick-layer RT technique that involves the assembly of an array of laminae, whose top edges are simultaneously profiled and beveled using a line-of-sight cutting method based on a CAD model of the intended tool surface. The cutting profiles are based on the intersection curve obtained directly from the CAD model to ensure geometrical accuracy. The slicing algorithm determines the lamina thicknesses that minimize the dimensional error using a new tool shape error index. At the same time, the algorithm considers the available lamination thicknesses and desired lamina interface locations. We demonstrate the new slicing algorithm by developing a simple industrial PEL tool based on a CAD part shape.

건축물과 같은 구조물들을 3D 가상모델로 구축하게 되면, 그 구조물을 간접적으로 체험할 수 있기 때문에 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 하지만 현재의 가상현실 기술은 이를 단순히 시각화하여 보여 주는 것에 그치고 있다. 건축물과 같은 구조물은 외형뿐만 아니라 그 구조적 정보도 중요하며, 이러한 구조적 정보는 조립과 해체의 과정을 통해 표현될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3D 객체의 조립 및 해체 과정을 통해 구조적 이해가 가능한 기록 및 재생 인터페이스를 연구하였다.

본 논문에서는 증강현실 환경에서 등장하는 3차원 공간상의 객체를 카메라와 손을 사용하여 조작할 수 있는 인터페이스를 제안한다. 일반적으로 3차원 움직임을 검출하기 위해서 마커를 사용하지만, 이러한 경우에는 객체를 등록하기 위해서 마커가 영상 내에 있어야 하며 추가적인 장비를 사용함으로서 몰입감의 저하를 초래한다. 이것을 극복하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 손을 하나의 평면으로 변환하고 손 모양의 변화를 검출하여 마커를 대체하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 조명으로 인한 손의 색상 변화에 따른 객체의 등록 위치 변화를 칼만 필터를 적용하여 추적하였다. 실험결과, 제안한 알고리즘은 손의 원활한 움직임에 의한 객체의 3차원 조작이 가능함을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose the framework of an integrated design system as a CAD system of a new concept that can incorporate the design information. Current CAD systems are powerful in representing the shape of a product with solid models but cannot provide the design information that is used or created in designing the product. Therefore an integrated design system is proposed to enable the storage and usage of the design information in addition to the shape manipulation. In order to represent the design information, we define element object that represents design element such as a part, a sub-assembly or an assembly by using object-oriented methodology. The element object carries various design information such as design parameters, documents, catalogues, functions, and behaviors as well as shapes. By using the stored information, the system can provide a designer with some functions to assist design activity such as interrogating necessary information, setting design parameters and goals, and constructing constraints among design elements. A mailing system is also constructed among element objects to assist a collaborative design. In addition, an evolutionary design method using genetic algorithms is realized within the proposed framework.
