Abstract

A hydraulic hose is an important part of the hydraulic system which transmits power using pressurized fluids. It allows relative motion between components at each end of the hose assembly, and it is much easier to route a hose assembly than it is to bend and install a rigid tubing assembly. Unnecessary loads, which drop the hose's pressure capability and shorten service life, depend on a hose-routing. Therefore, the Hydraulic system designers must be aware to consider unnecessary load does not affect the here. For this consideration in an early stage of the design process, CAD system must support the hose assembly routing design function which is to generate routing path and design fitting angle properly. This paper proposes 2 methods. One is to generate curves that are similar to routing paths of the real hose assembly using the energy minimization method and the optimization method. The other is to design fitting angles that are important design elements of a hose assembly using the Parallel Transport Frame. To implement the proposed methods above, commercial CAD software, CATIA has been integrated with our program.

Hydraulic hoses are used as pipelines for transferring power from hydraulic systems in various machineries such as construction equipments, automobiles, and aircraft. Hydraulic hoses protect the system from vibration or impacts, and they are being used to transfer energy in all segments of the industry. In order to protect the system from various external environmental conditions, hydraulic hose assemblies must be able to withstand a wide range of temperatures and pressures, as well as variations in other factors. In previous studies, an acceleration model for the hydraulic hose assembly was developed by taking into account only one of the acceleration factors (temperature or pressure). Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive acceleration model that takes both temperature and pressure into consideration.

The piping route of hydraulic hose is designed with avoiding interferences to surrounding components. However, in a real practice, the piping route is mostly decided with an expert`s experiences on site due to the complexity of design. Thus, this paper proposes a design methodology of the optimized route of a hose. We use NURBS representation to describe the piping route, which is possible to be locally modified, and an energy minimization method is applied to avoid interferences to the surroundings. In other words, the NURBS curve describing a piping route is modified to meet the desired positions from minimizing the perturbation of the control points, and the strain energy of the curve is then optimized to make the curve natural. The proposed method is implemented and its feasibility is validated using the commercial CAD software, CATIA V5.

This paper presents a survey of the work done in modeling deformable objects within the computer graphics research community. The research has a long history and a wide variety of approaches have been used. This paper organizes the diversity of research by the technique used rather than by the application, although applications are discussed throughout. This paper presents some purely geometric approaches for modeling deformable objects, but focuses on physically based approaches. In the latter category are mass-spring models, finite element models, approximate continuum models, and low degree of freedom models. Special emphasis is placed on finite element models, which offer the greatest accuracy, but have seen limited use in computer graphics. The paper also suggests important areas for future research.

We propose an algorithm for generating a moving coordinate frame on a space curve based on the concept of parallel transport. Such algorithms can be used for creating ribbons, tubes, and camera orientations that are smoothly varying and controlled by the curve geometry itself. The more familiar Frenet frame approach suffers from ambiguity and sudden orientation changes when the curve straightens out momentarily. We compare the properties of alternative framing methods and point out when the parallel transport approach has unique advantages. We discuss a variety of implementation issues and illustrate the application of the algorithm to ribbons and tubes based on open and closed curves, as well as to the generation of moving camera orientations. 1 Introduction We attack the problem of associating moving coordinate frames to three-dimensional space curves in ways that are well-understood mathematically and that have optimal behavior for certain classes of computer graphics applications....
