“…Gang Hu, Li and Xianzhi Hu, Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, Vol.14, No.4 (2020) In surface modeling, how to construct a developable surface in trigonometric polynomial function space (TPFS, for short) is an interesting problem. During the past 20 years, C-Bézier model defined in TPFS is adopted to design free-form curves and surfaces in CAD/CAM widely (Hoffmann et al, 2006;Shen and Wang, 2015;Yang and Wang, 2004;Zhou et al, 2017). The C-Bézier model retains the excellent properties of the Bézier one, and can be utilized to accurately represent circles and ellipses (Zhang, 1996;Chen et al, 2003).…”
