The primary failure mechanism in brittle materials such as ceramics, granite and some metal alloys is through the presence of defects which result in crack formation and propagation under the application of load. We are interested in studying this process of crack propagation, interaction and coalescence, which degrades the strength of the specimen. Traditionally, engineering applications that study...
This paper presents HUBOT - a modeling and simulation platform specialized for multi-link robots. We use PhysX as the dynamics solver so that we can manipulate various physics parameters of the robot directly. Visualization is also supported based on OpenGL rendering environment. HUBOT solves kinematics and dynamics among the robot and the environment, sensor data simulation is also implemented to...
In a virtual sculpture project, we would like to sculpt in real-time very large 3D objects sampled in volume elements (voxels). The drawback of this kind of representation is the important number of voxels required to represent very large and detailed objects. Consequently, that entails important memory cost and computation time issues. In order to allow real-time performance, we propose in this paper...
A variable fractional delay (VFD) filter is presented that constitutes an efficient alternative to the usual Farrow structure. The filter is constructed by multiplying the signal to interpolate by a window with proper truncation properties, and then applying the sampling theorem. The resulting interpolator involves less arithmetic operations than the existing variants of the Farrow structure. Besides,...
