ABSTRACT
This is a sample abstract. Abstract uses Times Roman font
size 10 italics. The importance of shape modeling in
engineering, CAD/CAM and computational vision was a
challenging subject and a motivation for researchers. The idea
of function-based approach to shape (solid) modeling is that
complex geometric shapes can be produced from a "small
formula" rather than a very complicated meshing process.
Usually, classical mathematical functions or their combinations
or modifications are used to define the shapes.
In this paper, parametric, implicit and explicit
mathematical functions, for mechanism components shape
modeling and visualization are proposed. Different mechanism
components such as gears, springs, cams, chains, corkscrews,
are generated and visualized. Geometry and color, as well as
operations and/or combinations of the 3D shapes may be
included. Some examples of mechanical components
deformations via a finite element method applied to the
generated shapes are also provided.
REQUIRED PAPER FORMAT
Use Times Roman font size 10 for the text in sections.
Header provided above right corner appears only on the first
page of the paper and is Arial font size 10, bold. Section titles
are bold, Arial font type size 10 and in caps.
Figure titles should be placed under the figure, centered
and read as in this example below. Make sure each figure is
referenced from within the text. Table titles use the same format
but are placed ABOVE the table. Refer to references like this
[2]. Papers formatted in double-column format should not
exceed eight (8) pages.
Submit your paper both in MS Word and pdf versions.
