Much previous research about fracture of deformable bodies has focused on physical principles (e.g. energy and mass conservation), leading to simulation methods that are very realistic, but not yet applicable in real-time. We present a stylized ...

Mesh Mortal Kombat uses a new non-physical voxel constraint based on Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization within a position-based dynamics (PBD) framework. After the input mesh is voxelized, we create 8 PBD particles which are constrained to approximate each ...

We introduce DeepJoin, an automated approach to generate high-resolution repairs for fractured shapes using deep neural networks. Existing approaches to perform automated shape repair operate exclusively on symmetric objects, require a complete proxy ...

Fracture simulation of real-world materials is an exceptionally challenging problem due to complex material properties like anisotropic elasticity and the presence of material impurities. We present a graph-based finite element method to simulate ...

When an object breaks, simulating evolution of fracture as per artist control while maintaining physical realism and plausibility is a challenging problem due to different complex material properties of real world objects. In this work, we present ...

We present a stochastic modeling framework for atomistic propagation of a Mode I surface crack, with atoms interacting according to the Lennard--Jones interatomic potential at zero temperature. Specifically, we invoke the Cauchy--Born rule and the maximum ...

Fracture of solid objects produces debris. Modelling the physics that produces the broken fragments from the original solid requires an increase in the number of degrees of freedom. This causes a huge increase in computational cost for FEM based ...

Implant specific complications and outcome for the use of proximal humeral nails in different fracture types are not well described.

Evaluation of adverse effects and ...

Dynamic fracture surrounds us in our day-to-day lives, but animating this phenomenon is notoriously difficult and only further complicated by anisotropic materials---those with underlying structures that dictate preferred fracture directions. Thus, we ...

This paper considers the problem of interaction of multiple straight plane cracks in the presence of the Steigmann--Ogden surface energy on the crack boundaries. The general boundary conditions with the Steigmann--Ogden surface elasticity are derived in the ...

In this paper, we propose a wrist rehabilitation support system using a smartphone app. There are several issues with the conventional wrist rehabilitation systems, primarily that there is no method for quantitatively evaluating whether it has been ...

In this work, we provide an approach to automatically reconstruct a 3D printed restoration piece for a broken object from 3D scanned meshes of the broken object and an original counterpart. Our approach provides two contributions to reconstruct a ...

Patients with acetabular trauma require a treatment plan based on proper recognition and classification of acetabular fractures, which depends on analyzing the status of several landmarks of the pelvis, including the obturator ring. With the aim ...

Compelling animation of fracture is a vital challenge for computer graphics. Methods based on continuum mechanics are physically accurate, but computationally expensive since they require computing elastic deformation. In many applications, this elastic ...

Herein, the authors review the self‐regulation system secured by well‐designed hybrid materials, composites, and complex system. As a broad concept, the self‐regulated material/system has been defined in a wide research field and proven to be of great ...

We develop a framework in which to make sense of solutions containing the vacuum in Lagrangian gas dynamics. At and near a vacuum, the specific volume becomes infinite, and enclosed vacuums are represented by Dirac masses, so they cannot be treated in ...

In computer graphics, simulated objects typically have two or three different representations, a visual mesh, a simulation mesh and a collection of convex shapes for collision handling. Using multiple representations requires skilled authoring and ...

The development of a parallel version of the fracture model dedicated for multi-phase materials based on a combination of the finite element model and random cellular automata approach is the overall goal of this study. Dual-phase DP steel, commonly ...

Malnutrition in geriatric patients is very common and an important outcome factor when treating injuries and fractures. There is actually no clear definition of the term malnutrition or recommendation for a screening method.

The purpose ...

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 volumetric ...
