Subject field(s)
  • Computer Mathematics
  • Computer Programs and Programming
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

By having the discrete values of the distance to the surface, the inclusion of thickness is obtained by the sum of the desired half thickness values on each point of the field. The field is then re-meshed by a polygonization algorithm, thus potentially solving the self-intersections.

The process of making a traverse.

CONT

Traversing is that type of survey in which a number of connected survey lines form the framework and the directions and lengths of the survey lines are measured with the help of an angle measuring instrument and a tape or chain respectively.

Méthode topographique par une suite de mesures angulaires.

CONT

Le modèle fractal classique. La polygonisation d'un contour d'objet à l'aide de Nr pas de compas égaux, de longueur r, permet d'évaluer le périmètre de l'objet à différentes résolutions (l'utilisation d'un grossissement moindre produit en effet expérimentalement le même résultat que l'utilisation d'un pas plus grand.)

English

Subject field(s)
  • Deterioration of Metals
DEF

A phenomenon observed during the annealing of plastically bent crystals in which the edge dislocations created by cold working organize themselves vertically above each other so that polygonal domains are formed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Altération des métaux
DEF

Lors du chauffage d'un métal déformé, formation, par réarrangement des lignes de dislocation, de parois délimitant des cellules très faiblement désorientées les unes par rapport aux autres.
