We present algorithms and systems for interactive boundary computation of Boolean combinations of sculptured solids. The algorithm is applicable to all spline solids and computes an accurate boundary representation. To speed up the... more
Buildings vary in shapes, types and locations, but are correlated in the original elements and relations to constitute the unified building Type or a certain architectural style from a certain place. These relations are linking points... more
We present a project on research and development of the high level language HyperFun for shape modeling using implicit surfaces and the more general function representation (FRep). An approach to collaborative Web-based shape modeling... more
In this paper an extension of L-systems is proposed, based on three-dimensional (3D) generalized maps that allow an easier control of the internal structure of 3D objects. A first and original application of this extension is also... more
Current geometric and solid modeling systems use semi-algebraic sets for de ning the boundaries of solid objects, curves and surfaces, geometric constraints with mating relationship in a mechanical assembly, physical contacts between... more
Abstract: The new Road Design Italian Standards (Norme funzionali e geometriche per la costruzione delle strade, DM 5.11.2001), allows the use of polynomial curves for the design of the road alignment design. Such polynomial curves... more
Computing boolean operations between general planar polygons is one of the fundamental problems in geometric and solid modeling. In this work we present a new algorithm to calculate intersection, union and di!erence, valid for general... more
This paper objectively presents a provable construction of generating a length of magnitude , as the geometrical solution for the ancient problem of doubling the volume of a cube. Cube duplication is believed to be impossible under the... more
In many areas of industry, it is desirable to create geometric models of existing objects for which no such model is available. This paper reviews the process of reverse engineering of shapes. After identifying the purpose of reverse... more
In our paper, we attempt to investigate methods of determining jersey porosity which is this fabric's principal physical characteristic. In fact, end use, liquid absorbency, thermal comfort and resistance are closely related to pore size... more
La plastie décrite par Eric Malingue est dérivée de la plastie en Z. Le but de l'étude a été d'évaluer son efficacité théorique grâce à une modélisation géométrique, et son intérêt clinique dans la maladie de Dupuytren. Dans la plastie de... more
This article addresses the experimental investigation and modelling of the uneven fibre distribution inside yarns of a textile composite. The test data is given for the tri-axial carbon-fibre braid; a considerable irregularity is revealed... more
In this paper, we present an FL-system, an extension of an L-system that allows us to generate any kind of object hierarchy and mesh on the fly. This has been made possible thanks to a modification of the classical L-system rewriting... more
Leaf springs are one of the frequently used oldest suspension components. They are used in conventional and commercial vehicles. The past literature review shows that leaf springs are designed as forces are generalized on the elements... more
In geometric modelling and computer-aided design a polynomial is usually represented in Bernstein form. Forward error analysis for the computation of the derivative of a polynomial in Bernstein form is performed. The corresponding running... more

Geometric Modellers based on a Boundary Representation scheme are well suited for display operations, but boolean operations require algorithms with quadratic complexity. Using a class of extended Octtrees which is presented here, boolean... more
Geometric model and multidimensional scaling of similarity looks at relations between objects in a geometric space as coordinate points (Tversky, 1977). The distance between two coordinate points represents the dissimilarity among those... more
