Interpolation of helical patches by kinematic rational Bézier patches

Abstract We interpolate the helical motion σ by rational axial motions of degree three and four ζ. This will be done by interpolating one point path σ( p 0) by ζ( p 0). Then all point paths of σ are interpolated in the same way if we use the method given here.
