Beyond encoding volume boundaries as their zero level-set, they also convey global geometric information about the scene as they map signed distances to all points in space. In real-time applications, their most common numerical representation is a regular grid of two or three dimensions. In conjunction with an interpolation method to infer a continuous approximation de ned on all points of space, these can be e ciently evaluated on the GPU such that even the most demanding applications can utilize them [4, 5]. Several authors proposed to use rst order approximations to the SDF at the samples, e.g. gradients [3] or plane equations [1]. In this paper, we present a straightforward generalization of this approach to higher orders and discuss various alternatives to the appropriate ltering of samples such that the inferred SDF reconstructs the given higher order derivatives at the samples. Our focus is on applications in high performance visualizations, as such, we prioritize run-time performance over optimal storage and restrict sampling topologies in our measurements to regular grids. We also discuss the shortcomings of this approach as means to decrease storage for complex shapes.","PeriodicalId":316648,"journal":{"name":"CAD'22 Proceedings","volume":"284 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124535095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, while the lattice structure presents a vast design space and advantage, it also poses a challenge to existing design methods. Existing LSs design methods rarely consider microstructures with functionalities, like negative Poisson's ratio [8] and extreme thermal expansion [5]; Therefore, this work proposes a method based on topology optimization and homogenization theory to design hybrid lattice structures with multiple functional microstructure configurations to fill the gap in the design approach for multi-functional lattice structures. The flow chart of the proposed method is shown in Fig 1. There are two steps in this method. At first, multiple functional microstructure lattice units are obtained through topology optimization and homogenization theory. Then, the microstructures are treated as homogeneous materials with effectively homogenized properties for macroscopic analysis, and the ordered SIMP (Solid isotropic material with penalization) interpolation method [7] is applied to achieve the interpolation of multiple microstructures. Finally, the obtained hybrid lattice structure theoretically has both the properties of macroscopic optimization and the functionalities of microstructure units. Both the microstructure and macrostructure design variables are updated by the Method of Moving Asymptote (MMA) algorithm [4]. To verify this proposed method, an optimization model that the functional microstructure is set to be zero thermal expansion coefficient, and a standard minimized compliance problem is considered in macroscale is created. Numerical examples and data comparisons are presented.","PeriodicalId":316648,"journal":{"name":"CAD'22 Proceedings","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126277491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a surgical procedure involves the removal of a portion of the patient's costal cartilage, the manual modeling of the cartilage tissue in order to obtain a geometry that resembles the healthy auricular anatomy and the insertion of the cartilage framework thus obtained in a subcutaneous pocket in the malformed area [2].","PeriodicalId":316648,"journal":{"name":"CAD'22 Proceedings","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127175737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
