Systematic Exploration of 3D Concrete Printing Parameters for Conformal Printing on Sloped Surfaces

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A conformal slicing algorithm is developed for robotic 3D concrete printing (3DCP) on sloped surfaces as a first step toward printing slab‐on‐grade foundations on uneven terrain. Systematic experiments quantify the effects of nozzle speed, extrusion rate, and toolpath direction on filament dimension and stability.

Comparative Study on the Interest in Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines Representation versus Polynomial Surface Description in a Freeform Three-Mirror Anastigmat

Photonics
Novel freeform optical design methods can be classified in two categories, depending on whether they focus on the generation of a starting point or the development of new optimization tools.

NURBS-based geometric inverse reconstruction of free-form shapes

Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2017
In this study, a geometric inverse algorithm is proposed for reconstructing free-form shapes (curves and surfaces) in space from their arbitrary perspective images using a Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) model. In particular, NURBS model is used to

Robot‐Assisted Measurement of the Critical Micelle Concentration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
The study introduces (SIMO) smart integrator for manual operations, a robotic platform for precise, repeatable determination of (CMC) critical micelle concentration in surfactants. SIMO reduces standard deviation by 80% compared to manual methods. Surfactant, dye, and diluent selection, robotic protocols, and data handling are detailed.

Quasi-Isotropic Initial Triangulation of NURBS Surfaces [PDF]

European Journal of Computational Mechanics, 2020
Isotropic triangulation of NURBS surfaces provides high quality triangular meshes, where all triangles are equilateral. This isotropy increases representation quality and analysis accuracy. We introduce a new algorithm to generate quasi-isotropic triangulation on NURBS surfaces at once, with no prior meshing. The procedure consists of one front made of

Simulation of Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints with Nurbs Surface Fitting

Archives of Civil Engineering, 2017
This paper presents an approach based on NURBS (non-uniform rational B-splines) to achieve a seismic response surface (SRS) from a group of points obtained by using an analytical model of RC joints.

A Simple, Dynamic Geometric Phantom for MRI and CT Reconstruction Pipelines: Beyond Shepp–Logan

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A customizable, dynamic geometric phantom was developed to bridge the gap between simplistic static phantoms and highly realistic, complex 4D solutions. The phantom enables initial testing, helps detect implementation errors, and supports quantitative evaluation of new dynamic acquisition and reconstruction methods.
