This article is a survey of research areas in which motion plays a pivotal role. The aim of the
article is to review current approaches to modeling motion together with related data …

We describe an efficient algorithm for the simulation of large sets of non-convex rigid bodies.
The algorithm finds a simultaneous solution for a multi-body system that is linear in the total …

Contact sound models based on linear modal analysis are commonly used with rigid body
dynamics. Unfortunately, treating vibrating objects as" rigid" during collision and contact …

A significant challenge in applications of computer animation is the simulation of ropes,
cables, and other highly constrained strandlike physical curves. Such scenarios occur …

This paper presents a general method for exact distance computation between convex
objects represented as intersections of implicit surfaces. Exact distance computation …

We present techniques for constructing an interactive rigid body simulation system, and
describe our implementation such a system. We use a constraint-based simulation …

High-order bases provide major advantages over linear ones in terms of efficiency, as they
provide (for the same physical model) higher accuracy for the same running time, and …

Computer Graphics has a long history in the design of effective algorithms for handling
contact and friction between solid objects. For the sake of simplicity and versatility, most …

Movement of a soft body is simulated by defining its surface as an arbitrary mesh of points
connected by edges. Each point is represented as a point mass, subject to conventional …
