Anisotropic elastoplasticity for cloth, knit and hair frictional contact

Abstract

and Jixie Effects Fig. 1. The left figure shows three pieces of cloth with around 1.4M triangles pushed back and forth by a sphere, revealing intricate folds and contact. The right figure shows 7M colored sand grains coupled with elastic cloth, exhibiting beautiful flow patterns. The typical elastic surface or curve simulation method takes a Lagrangian approach and consists of three components: time integration, collision detection and collision response. The Lagrangian view is beneficial because it naturally allows for tracking of the codimensional manifold, however collision must then be detected and resolved separately. Eulerian methods are promising alternatives because collision processing is automatic and while this is effective for volumetric objects, advection of a codimensional manifold is too inaccurate in practice. We propose a novel hybrid Lagrangian/Eulerian approach that preserves the best aspects of both views. Similar to the Drucker-Prager and Mohr-Coulomb models for granular materials, we define our collision response with a novel elastoplastic constitutive model. To achieve this, we design an anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive model that separately characterizes the response to manifold strain as well as shearing and compression in the directions orthogonal to the manifold. We discretize the model with the Material Point Method and a novel codimensional Lagrangian/Eulerian update of the deformation gradient. Collision intensive scenarios with millions of degrees of freedom require only a few minutes per frame and examples with up to one million degrees of freedom run in less than thirty seconds per frame.

ChainQueen: A Real-Time Differentiable Physical Simulator for Soft Robotics

“…The material point method has been extensively developed from both a solid mechanics [9] and computer graphics [10] perspective. As a hybrid Eulerian-Langrangian method, MPM has demonstrated its versatility in simulating snow [11], [12], sand [13], [14], non-Newtonion fluids [15], cloth [16], [17], solid-fluid coupling [18], [19], rigid body coupling, and cutting [8]. [20] also proposed an adaptive MPM scheme to concentrate computation resources in the regions of interest.…”

SimulCap : Single-View Human Performance Capture With Cloth Simulation

“…Simulation of clothing has been investigated for more than 30 years. Some works focus on super realistic cloth simulation results using millions of triangles [60,54,27], while the others concentrate on improving the fidelity for real-time simulation [51,41,40,19,18,29,31,62,14,20,65,54]. Physics-based mass-spring models [51] or position based dynamics [41,40] are commonly used for simulation of cloth.…”

An Implicit SPH Formulation for Incompressible Linearly Elastic Solids

“…Since computing the gradient is a non‐trivial task on a randomly arranged particle set, but comparatively easy on a regular grid, the material point method (MPM) uses an underlying grid for the force computation and has been used for phase changes [SSJ*14] and dimension‐reduced deformables [JGT17]. In each simulation step, the required quantities are transferred from the particles to the grid, where the forces are computed, and the resulting changes are transferred back to the Lagrangian particles.…”
