Simulating Brittle Fracture with Material Points

Linxu Fan, Lloyd M. Chitalu, Taku Komura Large-scale topological changes play a key role in capturing the fine debris of fracturing virtual brittle material. Real-world, tough brittle fractures have dynamic branching behaviour but numerical simulation of this phenomena is notoriously … Continue reading

Fine Wrinkling on Coarsely Meshed Thin Shells

Zhen Chen, Hsiao-yu Chen, Danny M Kaufman, Mélina Skouras, Etienne Vouga We propose a new model and algorithm to capture the high-definition statics of thin shells via coarse meshes. This model predicts global, fine-scale wrinkling at frequencies much higher than the resolution of the … Continue reading

VEMPIC: Particle-in-Polyhedron Fluid Simulation for Intricate Solid Boundaries

Michael Tao, Christopher Batty, Mirela Ben-Chen, Eugene Fiume, David I. W. Levin The comprehensive visual modeling of fluid motion has historically been a challenging task, due in no small part to the difficulties inherent in geometries that are non-manifold, open, … Continue reading

True Seams: Modeling Seams in Digital Garments

Alejandro Rodriguez, Gabriel Cirio Seams play a fundamental role in the way a garment looks, fits, feels and behaves. Seams can have very different shapes and mechanical properties depending on how fabric is overlapped, folded and stitched together, with garment … Continue reading

A GPU-Based Multilevel Additive Schwarz Preconditioner for Cloth and Deformable Body Simulation

Botao Wu, Zhendong Wang, Huamin Wang In this paper, we wish to push the limit of real-time cloth and deformable body simulation to a higher level with 50K to 500K vertices, based on the development of a novel GPU-based multilevel … Continue reading

Adaptive Rigidification of Elastic Solids

Alexandre Mercier-Aubin, Alexander Winter, David I.W. Levin, Paul G. Kry We present a method for reducing the computational cost of elastic solid simulation by treating connected sets of non-deforming elements as rigid bodies. Non-deforming elements are identified as those where … Continue reading
