Project Activities

The proposed aims of this project are:

• Develop mathematical methods to generalise the previous results for Biharmonic Bézier
  surfaces. This will involve the use of generalized Biharmonic equations.
• Extend the results of generalised Bihamonic Bézier to cubic B-splines so as new shape
  generation techniques based on Bihamonic B-splines can be developed.
• Study the smoothing properties of genealised Biharmonic B-splines so as appropriate
  algorithms can be put forward for generating shapes with required smoothness under a given
  set of conditions.
• Apply Biharmonic splines to practical design situations in order to verify their applicability.

Results of this project to date are available through the academic publication available in the project archive section. 

There are a number of possible areas of exciting research which stem from this work. Interested visiting scholars and potential postgraduate (MPhil and PhD) students are welcome to contact Dr Ugail for further discussion.
