ABSTRACT This is a sample abstract. Abstract uses Times Roman font size 10 italics. The importance of shape modeling in engineering, CAD/CAM and computational vision was a challenging subject and a motivation for researchers. The idea of function-based approach to shape (solid) modeling is that complex geometric shapes can be produced from a "small formula" rather than a very complicated meshing process. Usually, classical mathematical functions or their combinations or modifications are used to define the shapes. In this paper, parametric, implicit and explicit mathematical functions, for mechanism components shape modeling and visualization are proposed. Different mechanism components such as gears, springs, cams, chains, corkscrews, are generated and visualized. Geometry and color, as well as operations and/or combinations of the 3D shapes may be included. Some examples of mechanical components deformations via a finite element method applied to the generated shapes are also provided. REQUIRED PAPER FORMAT Use Times Roman font size 10 for the text in sections. Header provided above right corner appears only on the first page of the paper and is Arial font size 10, bold. Section titles are bold, Arial font type size 10 and in caps. Figure titles should be placed under the figure, centered and read as in this example below. Make sure each figure is referenced from within the text. Table titles use the same format but are placed ABOVE the table. Refer to references like this [2]. Papers formatted in double-column format should not exceed eight (8) pages. Submit your paper both in MS Word and pdf versions.
