Contact is ubiquitous and often unavoidable and yet modeling contacting systems continues
to stretch the limits of available computational tools. In part this is due to the unique hurdles …

We extend the incremental potential contact (IPC) model for contacting elastodynamics to
resolve systems composed of codimensional DOFs in arbitrary combination. This enables a …

Soft slender structures are ubiquitous in natural and artificial systems, in active and passive
settings and across scales, from polymers and flagella, to snakes and space tethers. In this …

The typical elastic surface or curve simulation method takes a Lagrangian approach and
consists of three components: time integration, collision detection and collision response …

We propose a novel approach to animate human hair in a still portrait photo. Existing work
has largely studied the animation of fluid elements such as water and fire. However, hair …

We present a framework for the simulation of rigid and deformable bodies in the presence of
contact and friction. Our method is based on a non-smooth Newton iteration that solves the …

Flagella and cilia are slender structures that serve important functionalities in the
microscopic world through their locomotion induced by fluid and structure interaction. With …

The large-scale mechanical behavior of woven cloth is determined by the mechanical
properties of the yarns, the weave pattern, and frictional contact between yarns. Using …

We propose a technique to simulate granular materials that exploits the dual strengths of
discrete and continuum treatments. Discrete element simulations provide unmatched levels …

We investigate two classes of solvers used to determine the time evolution of large systems
of rigid bodies that mutually interact through contact with friction. The contact is modeled …
