Modeling and Estimation of Internal Friction in Cloth

We propose a model of internal friction of cloth that matches important features of real-world measurements, and we show that it produces distinct behavior to frictionless cloth in simulated examples. We also propose novel parameter estimation procedures that are based on simple and inexpensive setups.

An Efficient Construction of Reduced Deformable Objects

We introduce model reduction techniques for the efficient simulation of deformable objects aiming at accelerating the construction of a reduced dynamical system, increasing the accuracy of the approximation, and simplifying the implementation. Based on the techniques, we introduce schemes for real-time simulation and interactive deformation-based shape editing.

Fast Simulation of Mass-Spring Systems

We present a numerical method for fast implicit time integration of mass-spring systems based on block coordinate descent. Our method produces visually acceptable results for real-time applications.

Simulation and Control of Skeleton-driven Soft Body Characters

We present a physics-based framework for simulation and control of human-like skeleton-driven soft body characters. We propose a novel pose-based plasticity model to achieve large skin deformation around joints. We further reconstruct controls from reference trajectories captured from human subjects by augmenting a sampling-based algorithm.
