Triangle meshes are used in many important shape-related applications including geometric
modeling, animation production, system simulation, and visualization. However, these …

In this article, we provide a detailed survey of techniques for hexahedral mesh generation.
We cover the whole spectrum of alternative approaches to mesh generation, as well as post …

In stark contrast to the case of images, finding a concise, learnable discrete representation of
3D surfaces remains a challenge. In particular, while polygon meshes are arguably the most …

While the literature on numerical methods (eg finite elements and, to a certain extent, virtual
elements) concentrates on convex elements, there is a need to probe beyond this limiting …

The scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) is capable of generating polyhedral
elements with an arbitrary number of surfaces. This salient feature significantly alleviates the …

The lack of timely progress monitoring and quality control contributes to cost-escalation,
lowering of productivity, and broadly poor project performance. This paper addressed the …

Geometry updating for digital twins of buildings is a time-consuming and manual task,
resulting in poor progress monitoring and quality control during the construction stage. This …

We propose a novel framework for computing the medial axis transform of 3D shapes while
preserving their medial features via restricted power diagram (RPD). Medial features …

A grain scale framework for thermo-elastic analysis and computational homogenization of
polycrystalline materials is proposed. The morphology of crystal aggregates is represented …

In mesh simplification, common requirements like accuracy, triangle quality, and feature
alignment are often considered as a trade-off. Existing algorithms concentrate on just one or …
