✦ Synopsis

Nonrectangular surface patches with curvature

continuity

A K Jones

An n-sided region can be decomposed into n rectangles, all meeting at a common vertex. For odd n, derivative data can be defined for each rectangular patch at the common vertex that allows continuity of tangent planes and, optionally, normal curvatures between all n rectangles. For tangent plane continuity, the resulting patches are biquintic; [or curvature continuity, biseptic.

The most convenient numerical method for defining surfaces is by bipararnetric vectors. The paper describes the conditions for ensuring second order continuity. A second definition of continuity is given which provides a mathematical generalization to order n between two surface patches.

The method offers a free choice of a tangent direction, two derivatives, and a curvature at each interpolation point. This flexibility can be achieved by constructing two cubic seoments for each adjacent pair of vertices. The method is also compared with other local schemes for curve construction.
