Abstract: Design charts are presented for evaluating the minimum radius of curvature of a disk cam with a radial roller follower. These computer generated charts follow well known theory but show ...

Abstract: The detection of collisions in an environment composed of two three-dimensional bodies traversing independent general three-dimensional trajectories is accomplished through the use of swept solids ...

Abstract: A technique termed space partitioning is employed which dramatically reduces the computation time required to detect dynamic collision during computer simulation. The simulated environment is ...

Abstract: This paper presents methods for determination of spatial extent of algebraic solid models. Algebraic solid models are a variation of implicit solid models defined by implicit polynomial functions ...

Abstract: Feature extraction techniques are presented for the generation of casting core patterns from a boundary representation (B-Rep) solid model. Techniques are presented which would allow for automatic ...
