Hsiao-yu Chen, Arnav Sastry, Wim M. van Rees, Etienne Vouga We present a physically accurate low-order elastic shell model that incorporates active material response to dynamically changing stimuli such as heat, moisture, and growth. Our continuous formulation of the geometrically … Continue reading →

Christian Schumacher, Steve Marschner, Markus Gross, Bernhard Thomaszewski We propose a comprehensive approach to characterizing the mechanical properties of structured sheet materials, i.e., planar rod networks whose mechanics and aesthetics are inextricably linked. We establish a connection between the complex … Continue reading →

Kenny Erleben Computation of contact points is a critical sub-component of physics-based animation. The success and correctness of simulation results are very sensitive to the quality of the contact points. Hence, quality plays a critical role when comparing methods, and … Continue reading →

D. K. Pai, A. Rothwell, P. Wyder-Hodge, A. Wick, Y. Fan, E. Larionov, D. Harrison, D. R. Neog, and C. Shing Simulating how the human body deforms in contact with clothing, wearables, and other objects is of central importance to … Continue reading →
