This paper demonstrates that techniques in flexible body dynamics can yield surprising results when applied to rigid bodies. The discussion presents a technique for constructing r...
A model for the dynamic simulation of flexible bodies subject to non-penetration constraints is presented. Flexible bodies are described in terms of global deformations of a rest ...
Bullet 3D Game is a modular extendible C++ Multiphysics Library that provides the state of the art collision detection, soft body, and rigid body dynamics.
— This paper presents an analytical model and a geometric numerical integrator for a rigid body connected to an elastic string, acting under a gravitational potential. Since the ...
In this paper, we discuss the modeling of the kinematics and dynamics of compliant contact between bodies moving in Euclidean space. First, we derive the kinematic equations descr...
