Abstract

This paper develops methods for the exact analysis and representation of the swept volume of a circular cylinder undergoing rational Bezier and B-spline motions. Instead of following the traditional approach of analyzing the point trajectory of an object motion for swept volume analysis, this paper seeks to develop a new approach to swept volume analysis by studying the plane trajectory of a rational motion. It seeks to bring together recent work in swept volume analysis, plane representation of developable surfaces, as well as computer aided synthesis of freeform rational motions. The results have applications in design and approximation of freeforms surfaces as well as tool path planning for 5-axis machining of freeform surfaces.
