This work reviews the main techniques to model dynamical systems with contact-impact
events. Regularized and non-smooth formulations are considered, wherein the fundamental …

Due to its versatility, copositive optimization receives increasing interest in the Operational
Research community, and is a rapidly expanding and fertile field of research. It is a special …

This paper introduces and studies the class of differential variational inequalities (DVIs) in a
finite-dimensional Euclidean space. The DVI provides a powerful modeling paradigm for …

Abstract ArtiSynth (http://www. artisynth. org) is an open source, Java-based biomechanical
simulation environment for modeling complex anatomical systems composed of both rigid …

A three-dimensional limit analysis model for masonry structures is presented. In the model
the masonry is discretized as an assemblage of rigid blocks, which interact via no-tension …

Aiming at a fast and robust simulation of large multibody systems with contacts and friction,
this work presents a novel method for solving large cone complementarity problems by …

We present a time-step** method to simulate rigid multibody dynamics with inelastic
collision, contact, and friction. The method progresses with fixed time step without …

Modifying motion capture to satisfy the constraints of new animation is difficult when contact
is involved, and a critical problem for animation of hands. The compliance with which a …

We present a method for achieving geometrical constraint stabilization for a linear‐
complementarity‐based time‐step** scheme for rigid multibody dynamics with joints …

A unified formulation is presented for non-linear time history, static pushover and limit
analysis of historic masonry structures modelled as 2D assemblages of rigid blocks …
