Multiresolution Analysis for Irregular Meshes
2003
International audience; The concept of multiresolution analysis applied to irregular meshes has become more and more important. Previous contributions proposed a variety of methods using simplification and/or subdivision algorithms to build a mesh pyramid. In this paper, we propose a multiresolution analysis framework for irregular meshes with attributes. Our framework is based on simplification and subdivision algorithms to build a mesh pyramid. We introduce a surface relaxation operator that allows to build a non-uniform subdivision for a low computational cost. Furthermore, we generalize the relaxationoperator to attributes such as color, texture, temperature, etc. The attribute analysis…
An empirical method to determine the free surface energy of solids at different deformations and temperatures regimes : An application to Al.
2005
Abstract We have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the three low index surfaces of Al to determine the variation of the surface energy as a function of deformation and temperature. We have also developed an empirical formulation for the surface free energy as a function of deformation. The observed difference between the numerical and analytical results has led us to divide the deformation into a mechanical and a thermal contribution. From this observation, we have obtained an expression for the surface free energy placing the temperature dependence on the bulk and surface elastic constants. Our simulations permitted us to analyze the multilayer relaxation for the particul…
