With the development of virtual reality technology, surgery simulation has become an effective way to train the operation skills for surgeons. Soft tissue dissection, as one of the most frequently performed operations in surgery, is indispensable to an immersive and high-fidelity surgery simulator. Energized dissection tools are much more commonly used than the traditional sharp […]
The crashworthiness of a railway vehicle relates to its passive safety performance. Due to mesh distortion and difficulty in controlling the hourglass energy, conventional finite element methods face great challenges in crashworthiness simulation of large-scale complex railway vehicle models. Meshfree methods such as element-free Galerkin method offer an alternative approach to overcome those limitations but […]
Geodesic paths on surfaces are indispensable in many research and industrial areas, including architectural and aircraft design, human body animation, robotic path planning, terrain navigation, and reverse engineering. 3D models in these applications are typically large and complex. It is challenging for existing geodesic path algorithms to process large-scale models with millions of vertices. In […]
