Efficient, Physically Plausible Finite Elements

چکیده
This paper discusses FEM-based simulations of soft bodies in terms of speed and robustness. To be physically plausible, three fundamental laws must be respected: rotational invariance, Newton’s law and Euler’s law. We show that precomputed strain-displacement matrices generate nonphysical torques which can lead to visual artifacts. We then derive the fastest FEM-based method meeting our criteria of plausibility and robustness and discuss their limitations.

PREDICTION OF STATIC SOFTENING OF MICROALLOYED STEEL BY THE INTEGRATION OF FINITE ELEMENT MODEL WITH PHYSICALLY BASED STATE VARIABLE MODEL
Abstract Recovery and recrystallization phenomena and effects of microalloying elements on these phenomena are of great importance in designing thermomechanical processes of microalloyed steels. Thus, understanding and modeling of microstructure evolution during hot deformation leads to optimize the processing conditions and to improve the product properties. In this study, finite element...
متن کاملA PRACTICAL WEIGHT OPTIMIZATION FOR MOMENT FRAMES UNDER COMBINED LOADING
This article introduces three simple ideas that lead to the efficient design of regular moment frames. The finite module concept assumes that the moment frame may be construed as being composed of predesigned, imaginary rectangular modules that fit into the bays of the structure. Plastic design analysis aims at minimizing the demand-capacity ratios of elements of ductile moment frames by induci...

We present an alternative approach to standard geometric shape editing using physically-based simulation. With our technique, the user can deform complex objects in real-time. The enabling technology of this approach is a fast and accurate finite element implementation of an elasto-plastic material model, specifically designed for interactive shape manipulation. Using quadratic shape functions,...
متن کاملPhysically-Based Character Skinning
In this paper we present a novel multi-layer model for physically-based character skinning. In contrast to geometric approaches which are commonly used in the field of character skinning, physically-based methods can simulate secondary motion effects. Furthermore, these methods can handle collisions and preserve the volume of the model without the need of an additional post-process. Physically-...
