We present a rigid body simulation method that can resolve small temporal and spatial
details by using a quasi explicit integration scheme that is unconditionally stable. Traditional …

For a given PDE problem, three main factors affect the accuracy of FEM solutions: basis
order, mesh resolution, and mesh element quality. The first two factors are easy to control …

We present a simulation framework for multibody dynamics via a universal variational
integration. Our method naturally supports mixed rigid-deformables and mixed …

We propose Monolith, a monolithic pressure-viscosity-contact solver for more accurately,
robustly, and efficiently simulating non-trivial two-way interactions of rigid bodies with …

We introduce an approach to model surface properties governing bounces in everyday
scenes. Our model learns end-to-end, starting from sensor inputs, to predict post-bounce …

Catching flying objects is a significant challenge for humans and robots, particularly when
the physical parameters of the objects are unknown. Humans often strike incoming objects …

Due to their performance and simplicity, rigid body simulators are often used in applications
where the objects of interest can considered very stiff. However, no material has infinite …

Inspired by frictional behaviour that is observed when sliding matchsticks against one
another at different angles, we propose a phenomenological anisotropic friction model for …

Universal pre-contoured plates are commonly used for internal fixation of bone fracture.
Optimal plate placement can be determined through visual inspection of the relative position …

We introduce a method to generate videos of dynamic virtual objects plausibly interacting
via collisions with a still image's environment. Given a starting trajectory, physically …
