Hongyi Xu, Funshing Sin, Yufeng Zhu, Jernej Barbic The Finite Element Method is widely used for solid deformable object simulation in film, computer games, virtual reality and medicine. Previous applications of nonlinear solid elasticity employed materials from a few standard … Continue reading →

Andreas Peer, Markus Ihmsen, Jens Cornelis, Matthias Teschner We present a novel implicit formulation for highly viscous fluids simulated with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics SPH. Compared to explicit methods, our formulation is significantly more efficient and handles a larger range of viscosities. Differing from … Continue reading →

Makoto Okabe, Yoshinori Dobashi, Ken Anjyo, Rikio Onai We propose a method of three-dimensional (3D) modeling of volumetric fluid phenomena from sparse multi-view images (e.g., only a single-view input or a pair of front- and side-view inputs). The volume determined … Continue reading →

Maxime Tournier, Matthieu Nesme, Benjamin Gilles, Francois Faure We present a unification of the two main approaches to simulate deformable solids, namely elasticity and constraints. Elasticity accurately handles soft to moderately stiff objects, but becomes numerically hard as stiffness increases. … Continue reading →

David Hahn, Chris Wojtan We present a method for simulating brittle fracture under the assumptions of quasi-static linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). Using the boundary element method (BEM) and Lagrangian crack-fronts, we produce highly detailed fracture surfaces. The computational cost … Continue reading →

Nathan Mitchell, Court Cutting, Eftychios Sifakis We present an interactive simulation framework for authoring surgical procedures of soft tissue manipulation using physics-based simulation to animate the flesh. This interactive authoring tool can be used by clinical educators to craft three-dimensional illustrations of the intricate … Continue reading →

Yonghao Yue, Breannan Smith, Christopher Batty, Changxi Zheng, Eitan Grinspun We consider the simulation of dense foams composed of microscopic bubbles, such as shaving cream and whipped cream. We represent foam not as a collection of discrete bubbles, but instead … Continue reading →

Yufeng Zhu, Robert Bridson, Chen Greif We present a new brittle fracture simulation method based on a boundary integral formulation of elasticity and recent explicit surface mesh evolution algorithms. Unlike prior physically-based simulations in graphics, this avoids the need for … Continue reading →

Chenfanfu Jiang, Craig Schroeder, Andrew Selle, Joseph Teran, Alexey Stomakhin Hybrid Lagrangian/Eulerian simulation is commonplace in computer graphics for fluids and other materials undergoing large deformation. In these methods, particles are used to resolve transport and topological change, while a background Eulerian grid is … Continue reading →

Bin Wang, Longhua Wu, Kangkang Yin, Uri Ascher, Libin Liu, Hui Huang We present a data-driven method for the deformation capture and physics-based modeling of soft deformable objects. Our framework enables both realistic motion reconstruction and synthesis of virtual soft … Continue reading →
