Modeling deformable shell-like objects grasped by a robot hand
Abstract— This paper models (large) deformations of shelllike objects under the grasping of a robot hand. Classical nonlinear theory of thin shells [21, pp. 186-194] is generaliz...

Robust principal curvatures using feature adapted integral invariants
Principal curvatures and principal directions are fundamental local geometric properties. They are well defined on smooth surfaces. However, due to the nature as higher order di...

Local Specification of Surface Subdivision Algorithms
Many polygon mesh algorithms operate in a local manner, yet are formally specified using global indexing schemes. This obscures the essence of these algorithms and makes their spe...
