We propose two modifications to Hale’s original idea: (1) a procedurewhereby atoms are initially projected onto perceived features, and (2) the introduction of a Laplaciancomponent to the formulation of the energy field governing atom movement. These aim at improvingthe adaptation of the mesh to the image while producing better shaped triangles. True to Hale’sidea, no image segmentation is ever tried, but since the atom placement and movement criteria aremore sensitive to image borders, experiments indicate that the resulting meshes tend to conform moreclosely to the image features.

IntroductionCreating meshes which approximate or are in some way conformal to the features of a givenimage has captured the attention of many researchers over the last years. The idea is thatthe resulting mesh contains much of the information of the underlying image which makes itideal for applications such as image compression, image modeling, medical image analysis andothers [13].A particularly interesting application is the creation of meshes from seismic images.Traditionally,thegeologicalinterpretationofseismicdataresultsinasetofcurvesandsurfaces,which are used to construct a consistent earth model.

The model considers an elastic matrix reinforced by a periodic fiber series subjected to compression in axial direction. It accounts for the distinct difference in mechanical properties of the reinforcement and the matrix, as well as for the spatial problem character at the fiber-matrix scale. Perfect bonding at the fiber-matrix interfaces and the periodicity of the buckled system in the plane of fibers (in-plane microbuckling) are assumed. For comparison purposes, a dilute approximation model dealing with a single fiber in a matrix is presented as well. An eigenvalue analysis of the considered systems fiber-matrix is performed. Calculations are carried out for the cases of both isotropic and transversal isotropic fibers in elastic isotropic matrices. Results show that the fiber interaction results in a significant increase in the buckling wavelength and in an important decrease in the critical shortening.","PeriodicalId":51245,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Numerical Methods in Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/CNM.1084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"51533914","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}
