Abstract BRLO-Tree (Block-R-Tree-Loose-Octree) is presented in this paper based on the R-Tree and Loose-Octree. The aim of the structure is to visualize the large scale and complex dynamic scenes in a 3D (three-dimensional) GIS (Geographic Information System). A new method of clustering rectangles to construct R-tree based on an improved K-means algorithm is put forward. Landform in 3D GIS is organized by R-Tree. The block is used as the basic rendering unit. The 3D objects of each block are respectively organized by a Loose-Octree. A series of techniques, based on this data structure, such as LOD (Level of Detail), relief impostors are integrated. The results of the tests show that BRLO-Tree cannot only support the large scale 3D GIS scene exhibition with wandering and fighting, but it can also efficiently manage the models in a dynamic scene. At the same time, a set of integrated techniques based on BRLO-Tree can make the rendering pictures more fluence and the rendering time vastly improved.

The efficiency of contact search is one of the key factors related to the computational efficiency of three-dimensional sphere discontinuous deformation analysis (3D SDDA). This paper proposes an efficient contact search algorithm, called box search algorithm (BSA), for 3D SDDA. The implementation steps and data structure for BSA are designed, with a case study being conducted to verify its efficiency. The data structure also has been improved for parallelizing the computation in contact search. For the demonstration of the proposed algorithm (BSA), six cases with various sphere numbers are simulated. Simulation results show that the time consumed in contact search using BSA (CTofBSA) is much less than that by the direct search algorithm (DSA) (CTofDSA). For the case with 12,000 spheres, CTofBSA is 1.1[Formula: see text]h, which is only 1.3% of CTofDSA (84.62[Formula: see text]h). In addition, the proportion of the computation quantity of contact search in the entire computation (Pcs) is 91.3% by using DSA, while this value by BSA is only 12.4%, which demonstrates the contribution of BSA. The efficiency brought about by BSA (time consumed and computation quantity) may enable 3D SDDA to simulate large-scale problems.

Underground pipe network is a critical city infrastructure, which plays an important role in smart city management. As the detailed three-dimensional (3D) scene of underground pipe networks is difficult to construct, and massive numbers of pipe points and segments are difficult to manage, a 3D pipe network modeling and organization method is explored in this study. First, the modeling parameters were parsed from the pipe network survey data. Then, the 3D pipe segment and point models were built based on parametric modeling algorithms. Finally, a heterogeneous data structure for the 3D pipe network was established through loose quadtree data organization. The proposed data structure was suitable for 3D Tiles, which was adopted by Cesium (a web-based 3D virtual globe); hence, a multitude of pipe networks can be viewed in the browser. The proposed method was validated by generating and organizing a large-scale 3D pipe network scene of Beijing. The experimental results indicate that the 3D pipe network models formed by this method can satisfy the visual effect and render the efficiency required for smart urban management.

The rapid real-time collision detection is one of technical difficulties in large-scale simulation of complex dynamic scenes. Complex large-scale real-time scenario, demands of users on the efficiency and the accuracy of collision detection is higher and higher, which has made it become the subject of people to study. Based on the domestic and foreign existing collision detection algorithm, improved the process of collision detection framework, designed and implemented parallel collision detection with method of SIMD technology and multithreading programming, and made combination of these used in the collision detection of complex and dynamic scenes. Experimental results show that the algorithm design made the object in large and complex space of the 3D scene could be achieved real-time simulation. And the method solved the graphic images of moving objects and undetected penetration phenomena, shorten the detection time and response time of the collision for deformation object, increased the realism and immersion.

The law of rational indices to describe crystal faces was one of the most fundamental law of crystallography and is strongly linked to the three-dimensional periodicity of solids. This chapter describes how this fundamental law has to be revised and generalized in order to include the structures of aperiodic crystals. The generalization consists in using for each face a number of integers, with the number corresponding to the rank of the structure, that is, the number of integer indices necessary to characterize each of the diffracted intensities generated by the aperiodic system. A series of examples including incommensurate multiferroics, icosahedral crystals, and decagonal quaiscrystals illustrates this topic. Aperiodicity is also encountered in surfaces where the same generalization can be applied. The chapter discusses aperiodic crystal morphology, including icosahedral quasicrystal morphology, decagonal quasicrystal morphology, and aperiodic crystal surfaces; magnetic quasiperiodic systems; aperiodic photonic crystals; mesoscopic quasicrystals, and the mineral calaverite.

This paper presents current research trends and prospects of utilizing additive manufacturing (AM) techniques to manufacture electrical machines. Modern-day machine applications require extraordinary performance parameters such as high power-density, integrated functionalities, improved thermal, mechanical & electromagnetic properties. AM offers a higher degree of design flexibility to achieve these performance parameters, which is impossible to realize through conventional manufacturing techniques. AM has a lot to offer in every aspect of machine fabrication, such that from size/weight reduction to the realization of complex geometric designs. However, some practical limitations of existing AM techniques restrict their utilization in large scale production industry. The introduction of three-dimensional asymmetry in machine design is an aspect that can be exploited most with the prevalent level of research in AM. In order to take one step further towards the enablement of large-scale production of AM-built electrical machines, this paper also discusses some machine types which can best utilize existing developments in the field of AM.

This paper focuses on the effects of the off-design operation of CAES on the dynamic characteristics of the triple-gear-rotor system. A finite element model of the system is set up with unbalanced excitations, torque load excitations, and backlash which lead to variations of tooth contact status. An experiment is carried out to verify the accuracy of the mathematical model. The results show that when the system is subjected to large-scale torque load lifting at a high rotating speed, it has two stages of relatively strong periodicity when the torque load is light, and of chaotic when the torque load is heavy, with the transition between the two states being relatively quick and violent. The analysis of the three-dimensional acceleration spectrum and the meshing force shows that the variation in the meshing state and the fluctuation of the meshing force is the basic reasons for the variation in the system response with the torque load. In addition, the three rotors in the triple-gear-rotor system studied show a strong similarity in the meshing states and meshing force fluctuations, which result in the similarity in the dynamic responses of the three rotors.
