The importance of the deformation and physics based deformation methods are continuously increasing in computer graphics area. However, the user interaction and reality using them is still insufficient for the various applications such as modeling process and game industry. In this paper, we propose physics based deformation technology under AR (augmented reality) environments to improve the effectiveness...
The construction industry has been facing a paradigm shift to (i) increase; productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality and sustainability, (ii) reduce; lifecycle costs, lead times and duplications, via effective collaboration and communication of stakeholders in construction projects. Digital construction is a political initiative to address low productivity in the sector. This seeks...
Advances in Internet connections speeds and computer hardware means that web content has grown richer and more interactive for users. One such area is Web3D which has seen the emergence of ISO standard technologies such as VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) and its XML-based (eXtensible Markup Language) successor X3D(eXtensible 3D). X3D, in particular, presents opportunities for further integration...
Building on the extensive research in Virtual Reality (VR), we are proposing a new dynamic prototype for modelling and simulating carbon emissions in a virtual village called VIRVIL. VIRVIL is a simulated settlement for the assessment of the impact of low and zero carbon technologies and measures in the built environment. The prototype will focus on the impact on the community as a whole, as well...
This paper considers mechanical stress and strain in a piezoresistive cantilever sensor under surface stress loading, which is the loading condition that occurs in biochemical sensing applications. Finite element simulations examine the piezoresistor sensitivity due to changes in cantilever length, width, and thickness, and piezoresistor size, location, and depth. A few unexpected results are found...
We report on the design and experimental validation of a distributed Brillouin-based optical fiber sensor embedded into concrete structures for temperature and strain measurement. A composite-made wave-like coating designed by finite-element analysis ensures the sensor is transferring optimally temperature and strain fields from the concrete to the optical fiber, where Brillouin scattering takes place...
