Lecture 4 Introduction to Spline Curves 4.1 Introduction to parametric spline curves Parametric formulation =r(u),y=y(u), z=2(u) or R=R(u)(vector notation) Usually applications need a finite range for u(e.g. 0
Lecture 3 Differential geometry of surfaces 3.1 Definition of surfaces Implicit surfaces F(r,,a)=0 Example: 22+6+2=1 Ellipsoid, see Figure 3.1 Figure 3.1: Ellipsoid · Explicit surfaces If the implicit equation F(, y, a)=0 can be solved for one of the variables as a function
Lecture 9 Blending Surfaces 9.1 Examples and motivation Blending surfaces, providing a smooth connection between various primary or functional sur- faces, are very common in CAD. Examples include blending surfaces between Fuselage and wings of airplanes Propeller or turbine blade and hub Bulbous bow and ship hull Primary faces of solid models
