Tencers: Tension-Constrained Elastic Rods
LJ Dandy, M Vidulis, Y Ren, M Pauly - ACM Transactions on Graphics …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We study ensembles of elastic rods that are tensioned by a small set of inextensible cables.
The cables induce forces that deform the initially straight, but flexible rods into 3D space …
