Lecture 6 B-splines(Uniform and Non-uniform) 6.1 Introduction The formulation of uniform B-splines can be generalized to accomplish certain objectives These include Non-uniform parameterization Greater general flexibility Change of one polygon vertex in a Bezier curve or of one data point in a cardinal(or interpolatory) spline curve changes entire curve(global schemes) Remove necessity to increase degree of Bezier curves or construct composite Bezier curves
Lecture 1 Introduction and classification of geometric modeling forms 1.1 Motivation Geometric modeling deals with the mathematical representation of curves, surfaces, and solids necessary in the definition of complex physical or engineering objects. The associated field of computational geometry is concerned with the development, analysis, and computer implemen tation of algorithms encountered in geometric modeling. The objects we are concerned with in engineering range from the simple
Aircraft Dynamics First note that it is possible to develop a very good approximation of a key motion of an aircraft(called the Phugoid mode) using a very simple balance between the kinetic and potential energies Consider an aircraft in steady, level fight with speed Uo and height ho
