In order to construct the extrusion die surface of T -shaped sections, an automatic surface construction method based on NURBS surface and area mapping method is proposed in the present work. In the present study, a center point for area mapping is determined by introducing the mapping concept based on constant area proportionality between original billet and final product. The characteristic points of inlet profile are determined using the traditional area mapping method and the root finding numerical method. The inlet and outlet profiles are precisely described with NURBS curves using the characteristic points of entry and exit sections. For the construction of NURBS surface, an interpolation method for the pre-determined two section curves has been developed to be used in the generation of interior control points and weights. To show the validity of the proposed method, automatic die surface generation is carried out for the T-shaped section and T-shaped section with rounded corners.

In order to construct the extrusion die surface of arbitrarily shaped sections, an automatic surface construction method based on NURBS surface and area mapping method is proposed in the present work. A center point fur area mapping is determined by introducing the mapping concept based on constant area proportionality between original billet and final product. The characteristic points of inlet profile are determined using the traditional area mapping method and the root finding numerical method. The inlet and outlet profiles are precisely described with NURBS curves using the characteristic points of entry and exit sections. For the construction of NURBS surface, an interpolation method for the pre-determined two section curves has been developed to be used in the generation of interior control points and weights. To show the validity of the proposed method, automatic die surface generation is carried out for the several kinds of shaped sections.

An automatic mesh generation system with unstructured quadrilateral elements on trimmed NURBS surfaces has been developed.. In this paper, NURBS surface geometries in the IGES format have been used to represent model shape. NURBS surface is represented as parametric surface. So each surface could be mapped to a 2D parametric plane through the parametric domain. And then meshes with quadrilateral elements are constructed in this plane. Finally, the constructed meshes are mapped back to the original 3D surface through the parametric domain. In this paper, projection plane, quasi-expanded plane and parametric Plane are used as 2D mesh generation plane. For mapping 3D surface to parametric domain, Newton-Rhapson Method is employed. For unstructured mesh generation with quadrilateral elements on 2D plane, a domain decomposition algorithm using loop operators has been employed. Sample meshes are represented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper presents a complete S-shape feed rate scheduling approach (CSFA) with confined jerk, acceleration and command feed rate for parametric tool path. For a Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) tool path, the critical points of the tool path where the radius of curvature reaches extreme values are found firstly. Then, the NURBS curve is split into several NURBS sub-curves or blocks by the critical points. A bidirectional scanning strategy with the limitations of chord error, normal/tangential acceleration/jerk and command feed rate is employed to make the feed rate at the junctions between different NURBS blocks continuous. To improve the efficiency of the feed rate scheduling, the NURBS block is classified into three types: short block, medium block and long block. The feed rate profile corresponding to each NURBS block is generated according to the start/end feed rates and the arc length of the block and the limitations of tangential acceleration/jerk. In addition, two compensation strategies are proposed to make the feed rate more continuous and the arc increment more precise. Once the feed rate profile is determined, a second-order Taylor's expansion interpolation method is applied to generate the position commands. Finally, experiments with two free-form NURBS curves are conducted to verify the applicability and accuracy of the proposed method.

Three-axis CNC surface machining entails a series of processes including rough cutting, intermediate cutting and finish cutting for a reference surface defined in CAD/CAM. This study is targeting development of an integrated NURBS surface interpolator that can incorporate rough, intermediate and finish cutting processes. In each process, volume to be removed and cutting condition are different according to the shape of a part to be machined and the reference surface. Accordingly, the proposed NURBS surface interpolator controls motion in real-time optimized for the machining conditions of each process. In this paper, a newly defined set of G-codes is proposed such that NURBS surface machining through CNC is feasible with minimal information on the surface composition. To verify the usefulness of the proposed interpolator, through computer simulations on NURBS surface machining, total machining time, size of required NC data and cutting force variations are compared with the existing method.

A new method is introduced for the interpolation in NURBS Surface. This method uses the basis functions to assign the parameter values to the arbitrary set of geometric data and uses the iteration method to compute the control net. The advantages of this method are the feasible transformation of the data set to the matrix form and the effective surface generation as a result, especially to the design engineer.

선형개발에 대한 연구는 주로 대형선박을 기준으로 Bezier, B-spline 그리고 NURBS와 같은 합성곡선생성기법을 이용하여 일반 곡선기법으로는 표현하기 힘든 구상선수나 굴곡이 심한 선미 등을 표현하고 검증하는 것으로 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 전체 선박의 70%를 차지하고 있는 중소형 어선의 선형에 대한 연구나 기술적인 보고는 상대적으로 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 라운드타입에서 챠인 및 신챠인타입으로 변화해 가는 중소형 어선의 선형을 NURBS기법을 이용하여 표현하고, 전산화하는 프로그램을 개발하였다.

An automatic mesh generation scheme with unstructured quadrilateral elements on trimmed NURBS surfaces has been developed. In this paper NURBS surface geometries in the IGES format have been employed to represent geometric models. For unstructured mesh generation with quadrilateral elements, a domain decomposition algorithm employing loop operators has been modified. As for the surface meshing, an indirect 2D approach is proposed in which both quasi-expanded planes and projection planes are employed. Sampled meshes for complex models are presented to demonstrate the robustness of the algorithm.

컴퓨터 그래픽스를 이용하여 3차원 물체를 모델링하는 방법은 그 이론적 배경에서 크게 두 가지로 나뉘는데, 직선들과 삼각형 혹은 사각형들을 연결하는 폴리곤 모델링 방법과 NURBS(Non Uniform Ra-tional B-splines)라는 수학적으로 정의된 곡선 혹은 곡면을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 본 고는 이미 상용화되어 사용되고 있는 몇 가지 3차원 모델링 소프트웨어들의 기능 중에서 NURBS 모델링 기능을 살펴보고 이를 비교.분석해 본다.
