An all-geodesic algorithm for filament winding of a T-shaped form
S. Seereeram, John Ting-Yung Wen · IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics · 1991
An algorithm that generates all-geodesic paths for the complete surface coverage of a T-shaped form composed of the adjoining of two cylinders of equal radii is presented. This has been recognized as a challenging filament-winding problem as its form is nonaxisymmetric. This algorithm was implemented on the robotic filament-winding system developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.>
