Contact is ubiquitous and often unavoidable and yet modeling contacting systems continues
to stretch the limits of available computational tools. In part this is due to the unique hurdles …

Simulations of rigid objects with contact resolution and friction are ubiquitous in computer
graphics and robotics. Rigid body models do not deform. Equipped with just rotational and …

We introduce a large-scale benchmark for continuous collision detection (CCD) algorithms,
composed of queries manually constructed to highlight challenging degenerate cases and …

Efficient simulation of contact is of interest for numerous physics-based animation applications.
For instance, virtual reality training, video games, rapid digital prototyping, and robotics …

A 3D surface’s parametrization by two coordinates naturally affords defining functions or
signals that map points on the surface to scalar or vector values. In practice, a triangle mesh …

Analysis of the N‐ethyl‐N‐nitrosourea ( ENU )‐induced repro42 mutation previously identified
spermatogenesis associated 22 (Spata22) as a gene required for meiotic progression and …

Background Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a devastating inflammatory disorder of the optic
nerves and spinal cord characterized by frequently recurring exacerbations of humoral …

Background: State-of-the-art finite element studies on human jaws are mostly limited to the
geometry of a single patient. In general, developing accurate patient-specific computational …

High-order bases provide major advantages over linear ones in terms of efficiency, as they
provide (for the same physical model) higher accuracy for the same running time, and …

We introduce a general differentiable solver for time-dependent deformation problems with
contact and friction. Our approach uses a finite element discretization with a high-order time …
