β¦ Synopsis
A method is presented for controlling element sizes on the interior of areas during surface meshing. A Delaunay background mesh is de"ned over which natural neighbour interpolation, a neighbourhoodbased interpolation scheme, is used to generate a sizing function. The sizing function may be used to interpolate element sizes, anisotropic stretching parameters or other surface characteristics required during meshing. A brief description of natural neighbour interpolation is included and the sizing results obtained from this interpolation method are compared to those obtained using linear interpolation. Three speci"c applications are presented that utilize the sizing function, namely boundary layer meshing, surface curvature re"nement and anisotropic mesh generation. For these applications, criteria used for augmenting the sizing function based on insertion of additional interior vertices into the background mesh are discussed.

This paper presents a statistical methodology for exerting control over adaptive surface meshes. The goal is to develop an adaptive mesh which uses split and merge operations to control the distribution of planar or quadric surface patches. The novelty of the work reported in this paper is to focus
## Abstract Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels are of great interest in tissue engineering because of their established biocompatibility, high permeability, and tunable material properties. However, rational design of PEG hydrogel scaffold properties has been inhibited by the interdependence of
This paper proposes a method to evaluate the size quality as well as the shape quality of constrained surface meshes, the constraint being either a given metric or the geometric metric associated with the surface geometry.
