A Level Set Method for Ductile Fracture

Jan Hegemann, Chenfanfu Jiang, Craig Schroeder, Joseph M. Teran We utilize the shape derivative of the classical Griffith’s energy in a level set method for the simulation of dynamic ductile fracture. The level set is defined in the undeformed configuration … Continue reading

Efficient Simulation of Secondary Motion in Rig-Space

Fabian Hahn, Bernhard Thomaszewski, Stelian Coros, Sebastian Martin, Robert Sumner, Markus Gross We present an efficient method for augmenting keyframed character animations with physically-simulated secondary motion. Our method achieves a performance improvement of one to two orders of magnitude over … Continue reading

Subspace Integration with Local Deformations

David Harmon, Denis Zorin Subspace techniques greatly reduce the cost of nonlinear simulation by approximating deformations with a small custom basis. In order to represent the deformations well (in terms of a global metric), the basis functions usually have global … Continue reading
