We focus on the challenging problem of simulating thin elastic rods in contact, in the presence of friction. Most previous approaches in computer graphics rely on a linear …
In this paper, the authors present the description and an application of the theory of dynamic splines for the modeling of very flexible beams in multibody systems. The use of spline …
