The circular intersection problem is to position two planar structures of circular forms such that the total overlap area between the structures is maximized under rigid motion mechanics. The intersection model is formulated as a constrained nonlinear program and solved using a sequential quadratic programming algorithm implemented on a spreadsheet. Numerical examples illustrate the methodology.
The zone straightness and flatness functional is constructed from the definition of the measure. The geometry of the straightness functional is illustrated in the plane, and in three dimensions, a novel means to visually represent flatness is described using the zone separation body. The zone separation body is a new construction that is uniquely associated with every measurement dataset and can be...
