Surface construction from planar contours / Patrick G. Hogan, Michael J. Zyda.
surfaceconstruction00hoga.pdf (2.157Mb)Abstract
Many scientific and technical endeavors require the reconstruction of a three-dimensional solid from a collection of two-dimensional contours. One method for this reconstruction involves a procedure whereby individual pairs of contours are mapped together to form triangular surface patches. In this paper, we present an algorithm which not only handles mapping situations of simple, closed contours but also mappings of multiple contours per plane and partial contour mappings. Also included is a discussion of the algorithm's limitations and heuristics

Finite-sample performance of absolute precision stopping rules
(INFORMS, 2012);Absolute precision stopping rules are often used to determine the length of sequential experiments to estimate confidence intervals for simulated performance measures. Much is known about the asymptotic behavior of such ... -
Flowfield measurements in the vortex wake of a missile at high angle of attack in turbulence
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1988-12);The flowfield downstream of a vertically-launched surface-to-air missile model at an angle of attack of 50° and a Reynolds number of 1.1 x 10(5) was investigated in a wind tunnel of the Naval Postgraduate School. The goal ...
