The statically-determinate, pin-connected truss is a basic structural element used by engineers to create larger and more complex systems. Truss analysis and design are topics tha...
This paper explores a sketch-based interface for quickly yet accurately creating visually realistic hair for virtual characters. Recently, physically-based models have proved succ...
In design, problem analysis is as important as solution synthesis. Strategic knowledge is required not only for constructing a solution but also for framing a problem. While exter...
The concept of pattern, meant as an interesting knowledge artifact extracted from data, is considered to be a an effective answer to the advanced analysis requirements emerging in ...
