This paper presents a method for the process planning optimization of hole-making operations,
where the machining process of a hole consists of several individual operations with …

Classical theory of solid modeling relies on the notion of regular sets and presupposes exactness
in both geometric data and algorithms. In contrast, modeling, exchange and translation …

Geometric data interoperability is critical in industrial applications where geometric data are
transferred (translated) among multiple modeling systems for data sharing and reuse. A big …

Regularity of sets (both open and closed) is fundamental in the classical theory of solid modeling
and is implicit in many shape modeling representations. However, strictly speaking, the …

A novel hybrid evolutionary–Metropolis Monte Carlo method and a new form of removal
probability function are proposed for the simulation of anisotropic wet etching process of silicon. …

Two major approaches to defining the semantics of inaccurate boundary representations
have been proposed in the literature. They are referred to here as single-set semantics, and …

To analyze the piecewise non-linear system with fractional order differentiation, fractional-order
was introduced into the two piecewise systems to accurately describe the stress …

To accurately extract the gum line of teeth from the three-dimensional dental model, a new
method based on the traditional Dijkstra shortest path algorithm with Sigmoid curvature …

In this study, the critical conditions for generating chaos in a Duffing oscillator with nonlinear
damping and fractional derivative are investigated. The Melnikov function of the Duffing …

Background In recent years, there has been growing evidence that vitamin D deficiency is
associated with the development and progression of chronic heart failure ( CHF ). Hypothesis …
