Spherical-tipped locators and clamps are often used for the restraint of castings during machining. For structurally rigid castings, contact region deformation and micro-slippage are the predominant modes of workpiece displacement. In turn contact region deformation and micro-slippage are heavily influenced by contact region loading. This paper presents a linear model for predicting the impact of locator and clamp placement on workpiece displacement throughout a series of machining operations. It illustrates how the continuum of external loads exerted on a workpiece during machining can be bounded within a convex hull, and how the extreme points of this hull are used within the model. Finally it describes the simulation experiments which were used for model validation.

AbstractGiven two metric spaces M and N we study, motivated by a question of N. Weaver, conditions under which a composition operator $$C_\phi :{\mathrm {Lip}}_0(M)\longrightarrow {\mathrm {Lip}}_0(N)$$ C ϕ : Lip 0 ( M ) ⟶ Lip 0 ( N ) is an isometry depending on the properties of $$\phi $$ ϕ . We obtain a complete characterisation of those operators $$C_\phi $$ C ϕ in terms of a property of the function $$\phi $$ ϕ in the case that $$B_{{\mathcal {F}}(M)}$$ B F ( M ) is the closed convex hull of its preserved extreme points. Also, we obtain necessary condition for $$C_\phi $$ C ϕ being an isometry in the case that M is geodesic.

Packing problem is how to arrange the components in available spaces to make the layout compact. This paper adopts a digital modeling algorithm to establish a novel rubber band convex hull model to solve this problem. A ray scanning method analogy QuickHull algorithm is presented to get extreme points of rubber band convex hull. A plural vector expression approach is adopted to movement resolution,which calculate the resultant vector to translate, rotate and slide the subbody to make the volume decrease. An experiment proved this digital modeling algorithm effective.

Let {Xk} be an i.i.d. sequence taking values in ℝ2with the radial and spherical components independent and the radial component having a distribution with slowly varying tail. The number of extreme points in the convex hull of {X1, · ··,Xn} is shown to have a limiting distribution which is obtained explicitly. Precise information about the mean and variance of the limit distribution is obtained.

For several common parent laws, the number of vertices of a sample convex hull follows a kind of law of large numbers. We exhibit an example of a parent law which contradicts a general conjecture about this matter.

An exact expression is determined for the asymptotic constant c 2 in the limit theorem by P. Groeneboom (1988), which states that the number of vertices of the convex hull of a uniform sample of n random points from a circular disk satisfies a central limit theorem, as n → ∞, with asymptotic variance 2πc 2 n 1/3.

Consider the placement of a finite number of arcs on the circle of circumference 2π where the midpoint and length of each arc follows an arbitrary bivariate distribution. In the case where each arc has lengthπ, the probability that the circle is completely covered is equal to the probability that the convex hull of a finite random sample of points, chosen according to a certain bivariate distribution in the plane contains the origin. In general, we show that evaluating the probability that the random convex hull contains a fixed disc is equivalent to solving the general coverage problem where the midpoint and length of each arc follows an arbitrary bivariate distribution. Exact formulae for the above probabilities are obtained and some examples are considered.
