In 2024 the ELAN team will present three papers at ACM Siggraph 2024 in Denver: Fibres (TOG paper): a new exact detection scheme between two smooth curves, which removes spurrious artifacts in contact forces with fibres assemblies. Our algorithm is particularly well-suited for the super-helix discretisation of Kirchhoff thin elastic…
Our 2011 paper entitled “A hybrid iterative solver for robustly capturing Coulomb friction in hair dynamics” has been awarded a Test of Time Award at Siggraph Asia 2023 in Sydney. This paper introduced the first nonsmooth algorithm able to capture dry friction in flexible fibre assemblies in a fast and…
We have a paper accepted at ACM Siggraph 2021 on the validation of physics-based simulators for rods, plates, and frictional contact. This work combines theoretical, numerical, and experimental contributions, performed in tight collaboration between computer scientists and physicists.
We have presented two contributions at the APS March Meeting held in Boston, March 4-8, 2019, one about friction estimation in cloth, and one about rod inverse design.
