Magma reservoir growth and ground deformation preceding the 79 CE Plinian eruption of Vesuvius
The 79 CE eruption of Vesuvius is the first documented Plinian eruption, also famous for the archaeological ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Although much is known regarding the eruption dynamics and magma reservoir, little is known about the reservoir ...

Shape error modelling and analysis by conditional simulations of Gaussian random fields for compliant non-ideal sheet metal parts [PDF]
Accurate modelling of geometric and dimensional errors of sheet metal parts is crucial in designing correct GD&T and preventing unnecessary design changes during the development and launch of a new assembly process.

3D Morphometric and posture study of felid scapulae using statistical shape modelling.
We present a three dimensional (3D) morphometric modelling study of the scapulae of Felidae, with a focus on the correlations between forelimb postures and extracted scapular shape variations.

Partial differential equations for function based geometry modelling within visual cyberworlds [PDF]
We propose the use of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) for shape modelling within visual cyberworlds. PDEs, especially those that are elliptic in nature, enable surface modelling to be defined as boundary-value problems.

A survey of parametric modelling methods for designing the head of a high-speed train [PDF]
With the continuous increase of the running speed, the head shape of the high-speed train (HST) turns out to be a critical factor for further speed boost.
