RISInteractive Virtual Tools for Manipulating NURBS Surfaces in a Virtual Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: DN-Edit is a virtual environment developed to allow the manipulation of non-uniform rational b-spline (NURBS) surfaces using virtual shaping tools. NURBS have become the industry standard for ...
Development of a Virtual Environment for Interactive Interrogation of Computational Mixing Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to enable visualization of complex physical phenomena in their natural spatial scales and significantly improve the product development process. Virtual ...
Mesh Reduction Using an Angle Criterion Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surface polygonization is the process by which a representative polygonal mesh of a surface is constructed for rendering or analysis purposes. This work presents a new surface polygonization ...
Development of a Dual-Handed Haptic Assembly System: SHARP
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) technology holds promise as a virtual prototyping (VP) tool for mechanical assembly; however, several developmental challenges still need to be addressed before VP applications ...
A Screw Theory Approach for the Conceptual Design of Flexible Joints for Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a screw theory based approach for the analysis and synthesis of flexible joints using wire and sheet flexures. The focus is on designing flexure systems that have a simple ...
Interactive Visualization of Line Congruences for Spatial Mechanism Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a framework for generating, representing, and interacting with the line congruences associated with four general finite poses. These line congruences are the solution space ...
Effectiveness of Haptic Sensation for the Evaluation of Virtual Prototypes
