Abstract: A fairing transition curve is constructed between two nonadjacent cubic TBézier curves based on C2 continuity. Firstly, the adjacent endpoints of two curves are considered as the target points, and then according to the C2 continuous extension method of cubic TBézier curve, two auxiliary extension curves are produced, respectively. Secondly, a blending extension curve with a balance factor are constructed based on a class of rational trigonometric blending functions and two auxiliary extension curves. Lastly, regarding the formal approximation of blending extension curves strain energy as objective function, a fairing blending extension curve is determined by minimizing the object function. Moreover, this method is also applied to the extension of cubic TBézier surface in this paper. Experimental examples show that the extension curves and surfaces have better fairness. |
