Modeling of the Thickness Variations Arising During Roll-Bonding of Clad Materials

这笔赠款提供研究和通信设备，以支持几何建模和可编程加工方面的新的和持续的研究。建模工作包括维护、传播和开发公共建模系统PADL-2，研究表示转换的特殊算法，以及与杜克大学合作开发VLSI几何引擎。机械加工研究的范围从继续开发全自动NC程序验证器和机床编程语言到车间通信和过程中测量。

This grant provides research and communication equipment to support new and continuing research in geometric modeling and programmable machining. The modeling work includes maintenance, dissemination, and development of PADL-2, a public modelling system, studies of special algorithms for representation conversion, and collaborative work with Duke University on VLSI geometry engines. The machining research ranges from continuing development of fully automatic NC program verifiers and machine-tool programming languages to shop-floor communication and in- process gauging.
