Simplified soft tissue models used in surgical simulations cannot perfectly reproduce all material behaviors. In particular, many tissues exhibit the Poynting effect, which resul...
The force-update-rate requirements of transparent rendering of virtual environments are in conflict with the computational cost required for computing complex interactions betwee...
