    • A Generic Approach to Free Form Surface Generation 

      J. Cotrina-Navau; N. Pla-Garcia; M. Vigo-Anglada (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
      A theoretical approach to construct free form surfaces is presented. We develop the concepts that arise when a free form surface is generated by tracing a mesh, using differentiable manifold ...

    • Hybrid Cellular-functional Modeling of Heterogeneous Objects 

      Valery Adzhiev; Elena Kartasheva; Tosiyasu Kunii; Alexander Pasko; Benjamin Schmitt (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
      An approach to modeling heterogeneous objects as multidimensional point sets with multiple attributes (hypervolumes) is presented. Attributes given at each point represent object properties of ...

    • Constraint-Based Design of Optimal Transport Elements 

      Michael Drumheller (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
      A large aircraft contains thousands of transport elements, such as tubes, ducts, and wires. Their shape is subject to many constraints, some extrinsic (e.g., obstacle clearance) and others ...

    • Hierarchical Iso-Surface Extraction 

      Ulf Labsik; Kai Hormann; Martin Meister; Günther Greiner (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
      The extraction and display of iso-surfaces is a standard method for the visualization of volume data sets. In this paper we present a novel approach that utilizes a hierarchy on both the ...

    • Dual-Primal Mesh Optimization for Polygonized Implicit Surfaces With Sharp Features 

      Yutaka Ohtake; Alexander G. Belyaev (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
      A new method for improving polygonizations of implicit surfaces with sharp features is proposed. The method is based on the observation that, given an implicit surface with sharp features, a ...

    • A Fit-and-Merge Algorithm for Range-Image Segmentation and Model Reconstruction 

      M. Djebali; M. Melkemi; N. Sapidis (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
      A segmentation and model-reconstruction algorithm is proposed based on polynomial approximation and on a new version of the “region growing” methodology. First, an initial partition is calculated ...

    • Topological Framework for Part Families 

      Srinivas Raghothama; Vadim Shapiro (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
      One of the fundamental unsolved problems in geometric design of mechanical solids has been the lack of a proper notion of family or class. Numerous heuristic and often incompatible definitions ...

    • A Collaborative Framework for Integrated Part and Assembly Modeling 

      Rafael Bidarra; Niels Kranendonk; Alex Noort; Willem F. Bronsvoort (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
      An ideal product modeling system should support both part modeling and assembly modeling, instead of just either of them as is the case in most current CAD systems. A good basis for such ...

    • A Discourse on Geometric Feature Recognition From CAD Models 

      Jami J. Shah; David Anderson; Yong Se Kim; Sanjay Joshi (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)
      This paper discusses the past 25 years of research in feature recognition. Although a great variety of feature recognition techniques have been developed, the discussion here focuses on the ...

    • Layered Manufacturing: Current Status and Future Trends 

      Debasish Dutta; Fritz B. Prinz; David Rosen; Lee Weiss (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)
      This paper reviews the emerging field of layered manufacturing. This field is little over 10 years old but a significant amount of research has been conducted and results to date are quite ...

    • Real-Time Computing in Open Systems for Manufacturing
