The dynamic equations of many continuum and soft robot designs can be succinctly
formulated as a set of partial differential equations (PDEs) based on classical Cosserat rod …

Designing the layouts and simulating the assembly of cables are based on flexible cable
modeling technology. In this paper, we review the methods used to model deformable cable …

We present a discrete treatment of adapted framed curves, parallel transport, and holonomy,
thus establishing the language for a discrete geometric model of thin flexible rods with …

Interactive rigid body simulation is an important part of many modern computer tools, which
no authoring tool nor game engine can do without. Such high‐performance computer tools …

Simulating one-dimensional elastic objects such as threads, ropes or hair strands is a
difficult problem, especially if material torsion is considered. In this paper, we present …

Our goal is to simulate the full hair geometry, consisting of approximately one hundred
thousand hairs on a typical human head. This will require scalable methods that can …

Lagrangian/Eulerian hybrid strand-based hair simulation techniques have quickly become a
popular approach in VFX and real-time graphics applications. With Lagrangian hair …

This paper introduces a methodology for inverse-modeling of yarn-level mechanics of cloth,
based on the mechanical response of fabrics in the real world. We compiled a database …

We present a computational tool for fabrication-oriented design of flexible rod meshes.
Given a deformable surface and a set of deformed poses as input, our method automatically …

Dry friction between hair fibers plays a major role in the collective hair dynamic behavior as
it accounts for typical nonsmooth features such as stick-slip instabilities. However, due the …
