The problem of second order continuity of blending and                     fairing surfaces has received only approximate or very                          restricted solutions, although, it is a major challenge in                      Computer Aided Design of Naval and Aerospace surfaces, where it                 is dictated by fluid dynamics.  Based upon the result of                        previous research in Variable Sweep Geometric Modeling, this                    research will develop a blending strategy that is                               mathematically exact and insures second order continuity of the                 blend.                                                                               The specific research objectives are summarized as                         follows: (1) Formulate the Variable Sweep representation of the                 second order continuous blend of two second order continuous                    surfaces.  (2) Define trimming of the second order continuous                   blend near the ends of the blended edge.  (3) Formulate the                     (possibly recursive) definition of the blend of previously                      blended surfaces.
