A model for the dynamic simulation of flexible bodies subject to non-penetration constraints is presented. Flexible bodies are described in terms of global deformations of a rest ...
We present a theory of qualitative rigid body mechanics and describe a program that uses this theory to compute qualitative dynamic simulations.1 The program works directly from a...

We present a system for rendering planar rigid-body motion by means of a redundant parallel mechanism. The device design, the control architecture and the passive virtual environm...

In this paper a new time-stepping method for simulating systems of rigid bodies is given. Unlike methods which take an instantaneous point of view, our method is based on impulse-m...
—Guidance systems designed for neurosurgery, hip surgery, spine surgery and for approaches to other anatomy that is relatively rigid can use rigid-body transformations to accompl...
