In order to overcome the difficulties in representation of developable surfaces utilizing traditional approaches, and resolve the problems in adjusting and controlling the position and shape of developable surfaces that often faced in Engineering. In this paper, we propose a directly explicit and efficient method of computer-aided design for developable surfaces based on triangle-B spline. The shapes of developable surfaces can be adjusted using a control parameter. Meanwhile, we show that the techniques for the geometric design of developable surfaces in this paper have all the characteristics of existing approaches for curves design. The algorithms are explained in detail, and demonstrated with the examples in the paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
