This paper describes an implementation of virtual teeth modeling for a haptic dental simulation. The system allows dental students to practice dental procedures with realistic tactual feelings. The system requires fast and stable haptic rendering and volume modeling techniques working on the virtual tooth. In our implementation, a volumetric implicit surface is used for intuitive shape modification without topological constraints and haptic rendering. The volumetric implicit surface is generated from input geometric model by using a closest point transformation algorithm. And for visual rendering, we apply an adaptive polygonization method to convert volumetric teeth model to geometric model. We improve our previous system using new octree design to save memory requirement while increase the performance and visual quality.

본 논문에서는 햅틱 인터페이스를 통해 실제 찰흙을 만지는 것처럼 자연스럽게 가상 모델의 일부를 덧붙이거나 제거하여 원하는 모양을 만드는 햅틱 가상 조각 시스템을 소개하고자 한다. 햅틱 렌더링과 햅틱 툴에 의한 가상 모델의 변형은 볼륨 간접 표면 법을 기반으로 이루어진다. 본 시스템에서는 기존의 불륨 데이타 기반의 햅틱 조각 시스템이 갖는 문제점들을 개선하고 빠르고 안정된 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저 가상의 물체를 조각하는 동안 빠른 햅틱 응답 속도(1 KHz)에 비해 훨씬 느린 비쥬얼 프로세싱(~30 Hz)의 속도 차이로 인해 발생되는 문제를 극복하기 위해 조각과정의 연속적인 두 모델의 중간 표면들을 생성하여 부드러운 햅틱 렌더링을 구현하였다. 조각 툴에 의해 변형되는 불륨 간접 표면은 비쥬얼 디스플레이를 위해 메쉬 모델로 컨버전 되는데 이때 메쉬 모델은 표면의 복잡도를 반영하여 적은 폴리곤으로 복잡한 모양을 보여줄 수 있는 비 군일 메쉬 생성 기법을 사용하였다. 실시간 조각과정에서 가상 물체의 다양한 비쥬얼 효과를 위해 메쉬 기반의 솔리드 덱스쳐링, 페인팅, 그리고 모델의 양각/음각기법도 구현하였다.

This paper describes the volumetric data modeling and analysis methods that employ volumetric NURBS or VNURBS that represents heterogeneous objects or fields in multidimensional space. For volumetric data modeling, we formulate the construction algorithms involving the scattered data approximation and the curvilinear grid data interpolation. And then the computational algorithms are presented for the geometric and mathematical analysis of the volume data set with the VNURBS model. Finally, we apply the modeling and analysis methods to various field applications including grid generation, flow visualization, implicit surface modeling, and image morphing. Those application examples verify the usefulness and extensibility of our VNUBRS representation in the context of volume modeling and analysis.

This describes a numerical method for predicting the incompressible unsteady laminar three-dimensional flows of fluid behaviour with free-surface. The elliptic differential equations governing the flows have been linearized by means of finite-difference approximations, and the resulting equations have been solved via a fully-implicit iterative method. The free-surface is defined by the motion of a set of marker particles and interface behaviour was investigated by way of a 'Lagrangian' technique. Using the GALA concept of Spalding, the conventional mass continuity equation is modified to form a volumetric or bulk-continuity equation. The use of this bulk-continuity relation allows the hydrodynamic variables to be computed over the entire flow domain including both liquid and gas regions. Thus, the free-surface boundary conditions are imposed implicitly and the problem formulation is greatly simplified. The numerical procedure is validated by comparing the predicted results of a periodic standing waves problems with analytic solutions or experimental results from the literature. The results show that this numerical method produces accurate and physically realistic predictions of three-dimensional free-surface flows.

Three-dimensional Lagrangian fluid finite element is applied to seismic response analysis of an oil storage tank with a floating roof. The fluid element utilized in the present analysis is formulated based on the displacement finite element method considering only volumetric elasticity and its element stiffness matrix is derived by using one-point integration method in order to avoid volumetric locking. The method usually adds a rotational penalty stiffness to satisfy the irrotational condition for fluid motion and modifies element mass matrices through the projected mass method to suppress spurious hourglass-mode appeared in compensation for one-point integration. In the fluid element utilized in the present paper, a small hourglass stiffness is employed. The fluid and structure domains for the objective oil storage tank are modeled by eight-node solid elements and four-node shell elements, respectively, and the transient response of the floating roof structure or the free surface are evaluated by implicit direct time integration method. The results of seismic response analyses are compared with those by other method and the validation of the present analysis using three-dimensional Lagrangian fluid finite elements is shown.
