This paper newly proposes a mesh regularization method for the enhancement of the efficiency in sheet metal forming analysis. The regularization method searches for distorted elements with appropriate searching criteria and constructs patches including the elements to be modified. Each patch is then extended to a three-dimensional surface in order to obtain the information of the continuous coordinates. In constructing the surface enclosing each patch, NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface is employed to describe a three-dimensional free surface. On the basis of the constructed surface, each node is properly arranged to form unit elements as close as to a square. The analysis results with the proposed method are compared to the results from the direct forming analysis without mesh regularization in order to confirm the validity of the method.

The state variables calculated from its original mesh geometry are mapped into the new mesh geometry for the next stage or incremental step of a forming analysis. The analysis results with the proposed method are compared to the results from the direct forming analysis without mesh regularization in order to confirm the validity of the method.

In this paper, a CAD/CAM system for 5-axis machining of model propeller is introduced. This system has been developed under the environment of personal computer and Windows NT. In order to enhance the productivity, existing text-based design S/W was integrated into this graphic-based system. Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline method is used to represent the sculptured surface of propeller blades and hub using point data, and surface blending between blade and hub is realized in this system. For 5-axis machining of sculptured surface, tool/work collision and interference are checked and inverse kinematic analysis is performed to make NC data. In addition, tool and workpiece are animated on the PC monitor by preparing NC verification module. Finally, optimal cutting conditions are determined empirically and those cutting conditions are integrated into this S/W so that the whole process from design to machining can be done automatically.

According to the user recognizing, the propose of this study is to establish the systematic church-design and the plan of rational process. When the plan of church design is rational come out, the local community will be risen and there is the possibility which will raise the essential function of church construction and design. The results from the study are as follow. Firstly, the area of the front-window and the number of the external entrance are correlated with the accessibility of the building. Secondly, the height of a bell-tower is related with the feelings of a tediously and a intimate degree. Thirdly, the ground clearance of the whole surface is correlated with the church-character and the community formation of a local society.

Colloidal synthesis of nanoparticles with well-controlled size, shape, and composition, together with development of in situ surface science characterization tools, such as ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS), has brought new opportunities to unravel the surface structure of working catalysts. Recent studies suggest that surface oxides on transition metal nanoparticles play an important role in determining the catalytic activity of CO oxidation. In this talk, I will outline the recent studies on the influence of surface oxides on Rh, Pt, Ru and Co nanoparticles on the catalytic activity of CO oxidation [1-3]. Transition metal nanoparticle model catalysts were synthesized in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) polymer capping agent and deposited onto a flat Si support as two-dimensional arrays using the Langmuir-Blodgett deposition technique. APXPS studies exhibited the reversible formation of surface oxides during oxidizing, reducing, and CO oxidation reaction [4]. General trend is that the smaller nanoparticles exhibit the thicker surface oxides, while the bigger ones have the thin oxide layers. Combined with the nature of surface oxides, this trend leads to the different size dependences of catalytic activity. Such in situ observations of metal nanoparticles are useful in identifying the active state of the catalysts during use and, hence, may allow for rational catalyst designs for practical applications. I will also show that the surface oxide can be engineered by using the simple surface treatment such as UV-ozone techniques, which results in changing the catalytic activity [5]. The results suggest an intriguing way to tune catalytic activity via engineering of the nanoscale surface oxide.

This paper presents the method for developing an optimum hull form with minimum wave resistance using SQP(sequential quadratic programming) as an optimization technique. The wave resistance is evaluated by a Rankine source panel method with non-linear free surface conditions and the ITTC 1957 friction line is used to predict the frictional resistance coefficient. The geometry of the hull surface is represented and modified using NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface patches. To verity the validity of the developed program the numerical calculations for Wigley hull and Series 60( $C_B=0.6$) hull have been performed and the results obtained by the numerical calculations have been compared with the original hulls.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to produce 3-D surface model from a set of range data, based on NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) surface fitting technique. It is assumed that the range data is initially unorganized and scattered 3-D points, while their connectivity is also unknown. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: initial model approximation, hierarchical representation, and construction of the NURBS patch network. The mitral model is approximated by polyhedral and triangular model using K-means clustering technique Then, the initial model is represented by hierarchically decomposed tree structure. Based on this, $G^1$ continuous NURBS patch network is constructed efficiently. The computational complexity as well as the modeling error is much reduced by means of hierarchical decomposition and precise approximation of the NURBS control mesh Experimental results show that the initial model as well as the NURBS patch network are constructed automatically, while the modeling error is observed to be negligible.

Accuracy of a machined part is determined by the relative motion between the cutting tool and the workpiece. One of the important factors which affects the relative motion is the geometric errors of a machine tool. In this study, firstly, geometric errors are measured by laser interferometer, and the positioning error of each control point selected uniformly on the control surface CAD model can be estimated from th oirm shaping model and geometric error data base. Where a form shaping function is derived from the link of homogeneous transformation matrix. Secondly, control points are shifted to the estimated amount of positioning errors. A new control surface is modeled with NURBS(Non Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface approximation to the shifted control points. By generating tool paths to the redesigned control surface, we reduce the machining error quite.
