This paper presents a method within the family of the discrete element method (DEM)
capable of accurately capturing grain shape by using Non-Uniform Rational Basis-Splines …

This paper endows the recently‐proposed granular element method (GEM) with the ability to
perform 3D discrete element calculations. By using non‐uniform rational B‐Splines to …

Boundary representations (B-reps) using Non-Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBS) are the
de facto standard used in CAD, but their utility in deep learning-based approaches is not …

Lattice structures have been widely used in applications due to their superior mechanical
properties. To fabricate such structures, a geometric processing step called triangulation is …

In this article, we present a novel 3-D descriptor, improved dexel representation (IDR), which
assists to input holistic information from an engineering computer-aided design (CAD) …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of flow over complex objects have been
performed traditionally using fluid-domain meshes that conform to the shape of the object …

We present an efficient and robust algorithm for computing the intersection curve of two
freeform surfaces using a Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH), where the leaf nodes contain …

Valid modeling and identification of rock blocks are the keys to analyzing rock-mass stability.
Based on the Monte Carlo method and 2D Poisson point process, an enhanced polygonal …

Computing the intersection between two parametric surfaces (SSI) is one of the most
fundamental problems in geometric and solid modeling. Maintaining the SSI topology is …

We present an efficient and robust algorithm for computing the self-intersection of a freeform
surface, based on a special representation of miter points, using sufficiently small …
