| Abstract:In this paper, we present a geometric construction of control meshes of helicoids over trapezium domain. We first introduce the quasi-Bézier basis in the space spanned by {1;t;cos t;sin t;t sin t;t cos t}; with t [0;α];α [0;2π). We denote the curves ex-pressed by the quasi-Bézier basis as algebraic-trigonometric Bézier curves, for short AT-Bézier curves. Then we find out the transform matrices between the quasi-Bézier basis and {1;t;cos t; sin t;t sin t; tcos t}. Finally, we present the control mesh representation of the heli-coids and the geometric construction of the control mesh. In detail, we construct the controlpolygon of the planar Archimedean solenoid, which is also expressed with the quasi-Bézier
basis, and then generate the mesh vertices by translating points of the control polygon. |
