Ming Gao*, Xinlei Wang*, Kui Wu*, Andre Pradhana, Eftychios Sifakis, Cem Yuksel, Chenfanfu Jiang The Material Point Method (MPM) has been shown to facilitate effective simulations of physically complex and topologically challenging materials, with a wealth of emerging applications in … Continue reading →

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 →

Matthias Müller, Nuttapong Chentanez, Stefan Jeschke, Miles Macklin Robustly and efficiently simulating cables and ropes that are part of a larger system such as cable driven machines, cable cars or tendons in a human or robot is a challenging task. … Continue reading →

Chinmayee Shah, David Hyde, Hang Qu, and Philip Levis This paper describes a general algorithm and a system for load balancing sparse fluid simulations. Automatically distributing sparse fluid simulations efficiently is challenging because the computational load varies across the simulation … Continue reading →

Tassilo Kugelstadt, Dan Koschier, Jan Bender In this paper we present a novel operator splitting approach for corotated FEM simulations. The deformation energy of the corotated linear material model consists of two additive terms. The first term models stretching in … Continue reading →

Muzaffer Akbay, Nicholas Nobles, Victor Zoran, Tamar Shinar We present a novel extended partitioned method for two-way solid-fluid coupling, where the fluid and solid solvers are treated as black boxes with limited exposed interfaces, facilitating modularity and code reusability. Our … Continue reading →

Antoine Milliez, Bob Sumner, Markus Gross, Bernhard Thomaszewski We present a method for adding artistic control to physics-based hair simulation. Taking as input an animation of a coarse set of guide hairs, we constrain a subsequent higher-resolution simulation of detail … Continue reading →
