Mass Properties Calculation and Fuel Analysis in the Conceptual Design of Uninhabited Air Vehicles
… properties of homogenous solids represented by polyhedral surface geometry. A newly developed method for calculating the mass properties of thin shell objects, given the same type of geometric representation, is derived and explained. A methodology for characterizing the mass properties of fuel …

Asymptotically optimal path planning and surface reconstruction for inspection
… inspection problem are (1) path planning and (2) surface reconstruction. On the first problem, we develop a novel analysis of asymptotic optimality of control-space sampling path planning algorithms. This analysis demonstrated that asymptotically optimal path planning for any Lipschitz continuous …

Flexible polyhedra - Exploring finite mechanisms of triangulated polyhedra
… the possibility of configuring a flexible polyhedral torus and a closed polyhedral surface that is able to flex without the need to stop.

The polyhedral Gauss map and discrete curvature measures in geometric modelling.
… the methods to measure the discrete curvature on polyhedral surfaces. The curvatures associated with a polyhedral surface are concentrated around its vertices and along its edges. An existing method to evaluate the curvature at a vertex is the Angle Deficit, which also characterises vertices into …

On the foldability of rigid origami
… based on some targets, such as approximating a surface or following a given path, meanwhile balancing the freedom of approximation and stability of folding motion. This thesis will report results on four topics associated with the theoretical challenges mentioned above. (1) We set up the …
