In this article a practical mass-spring system was developed to simulate the draping of woven and knitted fabrics. The material properties important to fabric drape, including aerial density, tensile, shear, and bending properties were measured using the Kawabata Evaluation System and the experimental data were incorporated into the mass-spring model to simulate the dynamic draping behavior of ...

Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain trench-parallel shear wave splitting in the mantle wedge of subduction zones. These include 3-D flow effects, parallel melt filled cracks, and B-type olivine fabric. We predict the distribution of Btype and other fabrics with high-resolution thermal and stress models of subduction zones. A composite viscous rheology is used that incorporates wet ...

Modeling the behavior of deformable virtual objects has important applications in computer graphics. There are two prevalent approaches for modeling deformable objects, an active one by deforming existing virtual models and a passive one by capturing the geometry and motion of real objects. This thesis explores the problem of modeling and acquisition of objects undergoing deformations, and prop...

Abstract The metavolcanics of Chitradurga region host numerous shallow crustal veins and fractures faults multiple orientations. Several high low P f cycles have been recorded in the region, leading to reactivation most pre-existing for selective some well-oriented under conditions. anisotropy (magnetic fabric) acted as prominent planar fabric fracture propagation vein emplacement both conditio...

Manual layup has been a common method in the manufacture of composite structures for complex geometries. However, when production volumes and/or the quality requirements increase, there is an urgent need for solutions to automate the layup process. In addition, the trend in designing composite structures with increasingly larger dimensions and more complex geometries requires advanced process p...
