Position based constraint enforcement in game physics
2016
La simulación de sistemas mecánicos para videojuegos y otras aplicaciones interactivas impone restricciones importantes en cuanto a estabilidad, flexibilidad en las escenas y complejidad computacional. En los últimos años han aparecido varias estrategias para la resolución de sistemas mecánicos con restricciones. Algunas de las más populares en el desarrollo de videojuegos usan solamente la posición de las partículas y un algoritmo de proyección sobre la variedad definida por las restricciones, evitando la manipulación de la primera derivada del sistema (las velocidades). De esta forma se consigue una gran estabilidad numérica. El principal defecto de estos métodos es su dependencia en pará…
A fast 3D BEM for anisotropic elasticity based on hierarchical matrices
2008
In this paper a fast solver for three-dimensional anisotropic elasticity BEM problems is developed. The technique is based on the use of hierarchical matrices for the representation of the collocation matrix and uses a preconditioned GMRES for the solution of the algebraic system of equations. The preconditioner is built exploiting the hierarchical arithmetic and taking full advantage of the hierarchical format. The application of hierarchical matrices to the BEM solution of anisotropic elasticity problems has been numerically demonstrated highlighting both accuracy and efficiency leading to almost linear computational complexity.
Contributions to the study of the Visco-elastoplastic behavior of a flax fiber – epoxy resin structural composite
2020
The study presented in the manuscript is positioned in a large context of development of new materials, with a reduced environmental impact. From the possibilities currently under scrutiny (especially in Europe), flax fiber reinforced composites are the most promising. Thanks to their low density and high mechanical properties, as well as their low energy costs, fuel the idea of their usage in structural composites, by replacing glass fibers. These biocomposites are already implemented in numerous applications. However, several scientifical and technical unknowns, especially their long-term behavior, are hindering their use in domains of high load conditions.The thesis proposes to study the…
A symmetric Galerkin boundary/domain element method for finite elastic deformations
2000
Abstract The Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method (SGBEM) is reformulated for problems of finite elasticity with hyperelastic material and incompressibility, using fundamental solutions related to a (fictitious) homogeneous isotropic and compressible linear elastic material. The proposed formulation contains, besides the standard boundary integrals, domain integrals which account for the problem's nonlinearities through some (fictitious) initial strain and stress fields required to satisfy appropriate “consistency” equations. The boundary/domain integral equation problem so obtained is shown to admit a stationarity principle (a consequence of the Hu-Washizu one), which covers a number…
Twisting and buckling: A new undulation mechanism for artificial swimmers
2012
Among the various locomotion strategies of the animal kingdom, the undulation locomotion is of particular interest for biomimetic applications. In this paper, we present an artificial swimmer set into motion by a new and non-trivial undulation mechanism, based on the twisting and buckling of its body. The swimmer consists of a long cylinder of ferrogel which is polarized transversely and in opposite directions at each extremity. When it is placed on a water film and submitted to a transverse oscillating magnetic field, the worm-like swimmer undulates and swims. Whereas symmetry breaking is due to the field gradient, the undulations of the worm result from a torsional buckling instability as…
Elastic Wave Near-Cloaking
2020
Cloaking elastic waves has, in contrast to the cloaking of electromagnetic waves, remained a fundamental challenge: the latter successfully uses the invariance of Maxwell's equations, from which the field of transformational optics has emerged, whereas the elastic Navier equations are not invariant under coordinate transformations. Our aim is to overcome this challenge, at least in practical terms, and thereby unlock applications in mechanics, ultrasound, vibration mitigation, non-destructive evaluation and elastic wave control. We achieve near-cloaking by recognising that, despite the lack of invariance, a decoupling into a system of form invariant potential equations together with a quant…
