Abstract— This paper discusses the design and current capabilities of a new software tool, dVC, capable of simulating planar systems of bodies experiencing unilateral contacts wi...

We present a new discrete velocity-level formulation of frictional contact dynamics that reduces to a pair of coupled projections and introduce a simple fixed-point property of th...

Physical simulation of dynamic objects has become commonplace in computer graphics because it produces highly realistic animations. In this paradigm the animator provides few phys...

This paper describes an impulse-based dynamic simulation method for articulated bodies which has a linear time complexity. Existing linear-time methods are either based on a reduc...
Existing contact modeling in rigid body simulation is inadequate for robotics: no algorithms guarantee both convergence and nonpenetration at multiple contact points in the presen...
