Animating Shapes at Arbitrary Resolution with Non-Uniform Stiffness
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new method for physically animating deformable shapes using finite element models (FEM). Contrary to commonly used methods based on tetrahedra, our finite elements are the bounding voxels of a given shape at arbitrary resolution. This alleviates the complexities and limitations of tetrahedral volume meshing and results in regular, well-conditionned meshes. We show how to build the voxels and how to set the masses and stiffnesses in order to model the physical properties as accurately as possible at any given resolution. Additionally, we extend a fast and robust tetrahedron-FEM approach to the case of hexahedral elements. This permits simulation of arbitrarily complex shapes at interactive rates in a manner that takes into account the distribution of material within the elements.

Coarse View-Dependent Levels of Detail for Hierarchical and Deformable Models
While a large amount of work is geared towards multi-resolution modeling and rendering, the presented methods work almost exclusively with static models and scenes. The ASLOD (Animated Smooth Level Of Detail) approach presented in this paper is capable of rendering animated scenes consisting of mixtures of conventional and multiresolution models. It features coarse view-dependent multi-resoluti...

An extended isogeometric analysis for vibration of cracked FGM plates using higher-order shear deformation theory
A novel and effective formulation that combines the eXtended IsoGeometric Approach (XIGA) and Higher-order Shear Deformation Theory (HSDT) is proposed to study the free vibration of cracked Functionally Graded Material (FGM) plates. Herein, the general HSDT model with five unknown variables per node is applied for calculating the stiffness matrix without needing Shear Correction Factor (SCF). I...

In the present paper, bending and stress analyses of two-directional functionally graded (FG) circular plates resting on non-uniform two-parameter foundations (Winkler-Pasternak foundations) are investigated using a first-order shear-deformation theory. To enhance the accuracy of the results, the transverse stress components are derived based on the three dimensional theory of elasticity. The s...
