Deformation by Discrete Elastica

چکیده
Modeling a physically plausible deformation of a flexible object from its naturally planar (curved) state is a fundamental and challenging topic in digital surface processing with applications to computer animation and game design. We propose a new variational model for detail preserving surface-based deformation of a body based on total curvature energy. We demonstrate the efficacy of the model with several examples which enhance the realism of the deformation.

Elastica-based strain energy functions for soft biological tissue
Continuum strain energy density functions are developed for soft biological tissues that possess slender, fibrillar components. The treatment is based on the model of an elastica, which is our fine scale model, and is homogenized in a simple fashion to obtain a continuum strain energy density function. Notably, we avoid solving the exact, fourth-order, nonlinear, partial differential equation f...
متن کاملAiaa-2003-1908 Deployment Characteristics of Creased Membrane for Solar Sail on Geometrical Configuration and Fold Pattern
The performance of deployment properties on folded membrane structures for solar sail was investigated. The theoretical analyses for one-dimensional Z-fold membrane model were performed as inextensible membrane model with large deformation theory as Elastica problem. The deployment ratio was examined through numerical simulation and experiment. To correct the geometrical effects between uniform...
متن کاملMechanical peeling of free-standing single-walled carbon-nanotube bundles.
An in situ electron microscopy study is presented of adhesion interactions between single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by mechanically peeling thin free-standing SWNT bundles using in situ nanomanipulation techniques inside a high-resolution scanning electron microscope. The in situ measurements clearly reveal the process of delaminating one SWNT bundle from its originally bound SWNT bundle ...
متن کاملModeling the Failure of an Adhesive Layer in a Peel Test
The failure of an adhesive layer in a 180° peel test is analyzed by the modeling of the peel as an elastica. The adhesive is assumed to fail by a process of cavitation and fibrillation. The resistance of the fibrillated material to deformation gives rise to a rate-dependent peel force F. Governing equations, which take into account the large deformation of the fibrillated materials, are derived...
متن کاملHigher-order Gradient Elasticity Models Applied to Geometrically Nonlinear Discrete Systems
The buckling and post-buckling behavior of a nonlinear discrete repetitive system, the discrete elastica, is studied herein. The nonlinearity essentially comes from the geometrical effect, whereas the constitutive law of each component is reduced to linear elasticity. The paper primarily focuses on the relevancy of higher-order continuum approximations of the difference equations, also called c...
