NURBS approximation of surface/surface intersection curves
To compute parametric representations for non-parametric algebraic intersection curves requires approximation. In this paper, the authors present algorithms to construct a piecewise rational \(B\)-spline approximation to a space curve, which comes from the intersection of two implicitly defined surfaces, or the intersection of two parametric defined ...

Point-cloud segmentation with in-silico data augmentation for prostate cancer treatment. [PDF]
Abstract Background In external x‐ray radiation therapy, the administered dose distribution can deviate from the planned dose due to alterations in patient positioning, changes in intra‐fraction anatomy, and the limited precision of the beam delivery system in spatial terms.

An Improvement on the Upper Bounds of the Partial Derivatives of NURBS Surfaces
The Non-Uniform Rational B-spline (NURBS) surface not only has the characteristics of the rational Bézier surface, but also has changeable knot vectors and weights, which can express the quadric surface accurately.

An Isogeometric Analysis Approach to Kinematics of Spatial Rigid Multibody Systems with Imperfect Joints [PDF]
This paper proposes a novel generic methodology for kinematics of spatial rigid-multibody systems with and without lubricated joints. In this method CAD surface representations in the form of non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) are used to address the

3D Reality-Based Survey and Retopology for Structural Analysis of Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage’s structural changes and damages can influence the mechanical behaviour of artefacts and buildings. The use of finite element methods (FEM) for mechanical analysis is largely used in modelling stress behaviour. The workflow involves the
