Generalized Abbe Principle: Position Error Propagation in Machine Elements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the quest for ever finer levels of technology integration, mechanical linkages reach their precision limits at about 5 micrometers per meter of workspace. Beyond this physical limit, all six ...
Surface Curve Design by Orthogonal Projection of Space Curves Onto Free-Form Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel technique for designing curves on surfaces is presented. The design specifications for this technique derive from other works on curvature continuous surface fairing. Briefly stated, the ...
Geometrical Criteria to Guarantee Curvature Continuity of Blend Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) of surfaces sometimes presents problems that were not envisioned in classical differential geometry. This paper presents mathematical results that pertain to ...
