چکیده
Most physically-based simulation systems for computer graphics target only a single simulation domain, such as particle systems, rigid bodies, cloth, and liquids. By using “layering” techniques, one-sided interactions between different domains are easily produced. For example, one-sided particle system/rigid-body simulation is achieved by first running a rigid-body simulator and then injecting the rigid body motions into a particle-system simulator; in the particle system, particles rebound off the (possibly moving) solid objects without affecting the solid objects’ motion. This paper address the problem of combining disparate simulations so as to allow two-way interactions, such as a jet of particles that both deflects off a stack of solid objects, but also causes the stack to topple over realistically. Incorporating multiple simulation domains within a single simulation system is difficult because each simulation problem is best attacked using specialized techniques. Instead, we propose a method that treats each simulator as a “black box” with a simple generic interface. We present a technique called interleaved simulation that achieves geometrically accurate behavior with minimal overhead, compared to the cost of running the simulations independently. The method works best where the component systems’ masses differ significantly. We show that interleaved simulation is equivalent to taking one matrix-solving gradient step per simulation time step, with a very good preconditioner. We include an easy-to-implement description of the method, and present a variety of simulation results.

Manipulation Control of a Flexible Space Free Flying Robot Using Fuzzy Tuning Approach
Cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. During such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. Therefore, to design and dev...
