Approximating Generalised Cornu Spiral With Low Energy Curve.
Masters thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
The computations of visual pleasing and mathematically fair curve are an ongoing process. In the earlier literature, researchers have been studying the smooth curve, or in a more technically term, the fair curve through the physical approach known as elastica, Elastica means a thin strip of elastic material. Daniel Bernoulli stated the elastica as variational problem in terms of strain energy and Malcom (1977) mentioned that the simplest way to characterize a spline mathematically is with the fact that a spline assumes a shape which minimizes its elastic strain energy.
