In this paper, we introduce the Moving Least Squares Material Point Method (MLS-MPM).
MLS-MPM naturally leads to the formulation of Affine Particle-In-Cell (APIC)[Jiang et al …

Recent progress in deep learning is essentially based on a “big data for small tasks”
paradigm, under which massive amounts of data are used to train a classifier for a single …

We present two new approaches for animating dynamic fracture involving large elastoplastic
deformation. In contrast to traditional mesh-based techniques, where sharp discontinuity is …

Virtual cutting of deformable bodies has been an important and active research topic in
physically based modelling and simulation for more than a decade. A particular challenge in …

Background Virtual cutting of deformable objects has been a research topic for more than a
decade and has been used in many areas, especially in surgery simulation. Methods We …

In this paper we present a robust remeshing-free cutting algorithm on the basis of the
eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and fully implicit time integration. One of the most …

Fluid animation methods based on Eulerian grids have long struggled to resolve flows
involving narrow gaps and thin solid features. Past approaches have artificially inflated or …

In this paper, we exploit the use of peridynamics theory for graphical animation of material
deformation and fracture. We present a new meshless framework for elastoplastic …

We propose a new algorithm for updating a Cholesky factorization which speeds up
Projective Dynamics simulations with topological changes. Our approach addresses an …
