Surface trimming is an essential function in a surface modeler for representing multi-boundary surfaces, blended surfaces, and surfaces with islands or pockets. A procedure and a data structure for designing trimmed surfaces were developed. For generating a trimmed surface, edges (curves difined on a surface) are generated and trimmed first. Then the trimmed edges are selected sequentially to form a closed loop. The data of supporting surface, surface on which the trimmed surface is defined, and bounding edges are stored and used for the application such as NC programming, robot programming, graphic display, etc.

The creation process of a typical machined surface is treated here as a dynamic system. An investigation is carried out to establish a relationship between the characteristics of cutting force fluctuations that cause vibration response of the tool-workpiece system and the formation of surface in face cutting by sintered carbide cutting tool. Cutting force is measured and analyzed in frequency domain. The power spectral densities of cutting force give a useful information in surface generation and it can be used to find out the control factor of surface roughness. The terms, PSD ratio & Normalized spindle frequency PSD, are defined and when the value of power in spindle frequency is absolutely little but relatively large, it is obtained high accuracy surface roughness. The aim of this research is to find surface profile by measured and analyzed cutting force signals. The simulation of surface generation gives the comprechension of its mechanism and help to predict and control the surface quality. In this study, it is suggested what informations about surface generation can be acquired from the cuttuing force signal and an way of generating a better surface.

Surface/surface intersection is a common and important problem in geometric modeling and CAD/CAM. Several methods have been used to approach this problem. All possible intersection curves can be obtained by using the subdivision algorithm, while it requires a great deal of memory and is somewhat inefficient. The tracing algorithm is much faster than the subdivision algorithm, and can find points on the intersection curve sequentially. But, the tracing algorithm has some problems in the intersection curves on surface boundaries. In this paper, an Improved tracing algorithm that includes some ideas such as a new trace-terminating condition for the intersection curves on surface boundaries, detecting closed intersections and extension for composite surfaces is suggested. This algorithm consists of three step: generating state points for curve tracing, tracing intersection curves and sorting pieces of the intersection curves. The results of this algorithm and comparisons to the 'DESIGNBASE' and 'ACIS' system are presented.

This study is focused on the improving effectiveness of a photovoltaic system. The characteristic of crystalline silicon solar cells, that 0.5% reduction in generating power is occurred by increasing temperature $1^{\circ}C$ of module. Typically, average solar generating power is higher spring and fall than summer. Degradation phenomena shall shorten the life of the module when the temperature of modules is $70^{\circ}C$. Decreasing temperature 40degree of the module and increasing the solar power 20% was presented using the water impinging jet method on the surface of photovoltaic cells. It is shown that Impinging jet have an effected on heat and deliver effective substance from the area in which the injection is effective.

Reverse engineering is a technique that helps designers to quickly generate computer interpretable data from existing physical objects. It can be used for generating CAD data from a mechanical part of high precision, or generating computer animation characters from physical mock-ups. We developed a low precision reverse engineering system that is composed of surface/solid generation software and a contact type commercial 3D digitizer. A unique point sampling procedure has been devised to easily form solid topology from the sampled data. It was also shown that STL data for rapid prototyping was successfully generated from the solid.

Finish machining of a curved surface is often carried out by an NC system with curve interpolation in the field. This NURBS interpolation adopts a feedrate optimizing strategy based on both the geometrical information and dynamic properties. In case of a finish cut using a ball-end mill, the curve interpolator needs to take the machining process into account for more improved surface, while reducing the polishing time. In this study, the effect of low machinability at the bottom of a tool on surface roughness is also considered. A particular curve interpolation algorithm is proposed fur generating feedrate commands which are able to control the roughness of a curved surface. The simulation of the machined surface by the proposed algorithm was carried out, and experimental results are presented.

In the process of draw die design for stamping automotive press panels, the addendum surfaces generated in metal forming simulation software cannot be used in downstream processes such as machining and making draw dies because simulation tools use simple discrete models for the surface geometry. The downstream processes require more precise and continuous geometric models such as NURBS surfaces. Generally, automotive die engineers manually regenerate the addendum surface geometry using the discrete model. This paper presents an automated geometric modeling process for generating addendum surfaces using draft surface models. The design parameters of the section curve for the addendum surfaces are extracted automatically from the draft geometry. Using the extracted design parameters, smooth addendum surfaces are generated automatically as NURBS surfaces. The generated surfaces are $G^1$ continuous with the part surface and the binder surface, and can be used in downstream processes.

The objective of this study is to provide the guide for producing data for effective analysis of weapons systems and munitions. Therefore, the prototype from the study of creating the effectiveness data of surface to surface Artillery system under different battle environments was developed in this paper. For this purpose, mathmatical method which is in use of calculating Lethal Area and EFC(Expected Fractional Casualty) is analyzed and applied to the prototype for generating effectiveness data of surface to surface Artillery system.
