Abstract: Complex forms such as conicity have been largely ignored in the coordinate form literature, in spite of the sufficient need to inspect them in parts such as tapered rollers in bearings. This ...

Abstract: Ranga Komanduri, Regents Professor and A. H. Nelson, Jr. Endowed Chair in Engineering at Oklahoma State University, passed away on September 6, 2011 at his home in Stillwater, Oklahoma. He is ...

Abstract: Flatness, circularity, and straightness have been studied quite extensively in literature. Forms such as torus are seldom studied. Yet, parts such as ball bearings and Toroidal-CVT have torus ...

Abstract: Probe-type Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) rely on the measurement of several discrete points to capture the geometry of part features. The sampled points are then fit to verify a specified ...

Abstract: Custom implants for the reconstruction of mandibular defects have recently gained importance due to their better performance over their generic counterparts. This is attributed to their precise ...

Abstract: Form error estimation with a CMM requires prudent sampling and accurate zone fitting. This paper proposes use of optimization search methods for reducing sample size, while maintaining high ...

Abstract: In earlier work [Bader et al., ASME J. Manuf. Sci. Eng. 125 (2), pp. 263–271 (2003); Int. J. Mach. Tools Manuf. 45 (1), pp. 63–75 (2005)] the authors have presented an adaptive sampling ...

Abstract: Nonlinear forms such as the cone, sphere, cylinder, and torus present significant problems in representation and verification. In this paper we examine linear and nonlinear forms using a heavily ...
