Surface Modeling Engineering
These volumes present the general parctitioners in engineering with a comprehensive discussion of technological surfaces, their interactions with environments, and the various modification techniques available to improve their performance. In each subject, applications to metals, ceramics, and polymers are emphasized. The interactions with the environment are described: corrosion (chemical), friction and waer (mechanical), and bioreactivity (physiological). Reviews of major modification schemes such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, laser beam interactions, chemical infusion, and ion implantation are presented. In summary, reviews of applications of the modification techniques to optimize the performances of structural components, tools, electronic devices, and implantable medical devices, manufactured out of metals, ceramic, and polymers, are described.
Surface Modeling for CAD/CAM

Release Date: 1991
Curved object manufacturing has become an important subject in modern industry as more varieties of industrial products are being designed with sculptured surfaces. Known as CAMM (computer-aided modeling & machining), the subject is rapidly becoming one of the most critical issues in CAD/CAM. Up till now, there has been a gap between the theory in CAGD (computer-aided geometric design) and the practices in CAMM. The aim of this volume is to fill the gap by presenting a comprehensive coverage of practical solutions for engineers, while at the same time providing problems for researchers. The main focus of the work is on the approach to and strategy for solving engineering problems. A sound understanding of the structure or domain of the problem as well as available techniques or tools is provided in each case, with the main emphasis being on descriptive shape models. The broad mathematical principles of CAGD are covered, in addition to some details of practical implementation. The book is self-contained in that an undergraduate level of algebraic calculus is sufficient to follow the discussions.
Surface Modeling
Although GIS provides powerful functionality for spatial analysis, data overlay and storage, these spatially oriented systems lack the ability to represent temporal dynamics, which is a major impediment to its use in surface modeling. However, rapid development of computing technology in recent years has made real-time spatial analysis and real-time data visualization become realizable. Based on newly developed methods, Surface Modeling: High Accuracy and High Speed Methods explores solutions to big-error and slow-efficiency problems, two critical challenges that have long plagued those working in with geographical information system (GIS) and computer-aided design (CAD). By developing high accuracy and high speed methods for surface modeling, the book builds a bridge between the mathematical-oriented theory of surface modeling and the user-oriented application where the user is actually able to retrieve information on the method itself. The author examines a novel method of high accuracy surface modeling (HASM) in terms of the fundamental theorem of surfaces. He then analyzes the coefficient matrix and develops an adaptive method of HASM (HASM-AM), a multi-grade method of HASM (HASM-MG), and an adjustment method of HASM (HASM-AD). He uses numerical tests and real world studies to demonstrate that HASM-AM, HASM-MG, and HASM-AD have highly accelerated computational speed, especially for simulations with huge computational work. Building on this, the book discusses a HASM-based method for dynamic simulation (HASM-FDS), and then applies HASM methods to simulate terrains, climate change, ecosystem change, land cover, and soil properties. It demonstrates HASM's potential for simulating population distribution, human carrying capacity, ecosystem services, ecological diversity, change detection, and wind velocity. The book concludes with a discussion of the problems that exist in surface modeling on a global level and evaluates possible solutions to these problems.
