Abstract:

In this paper, we present a prototype of a deformation engine to efficiently model and render the damaged structure of vehicles in crash scenarios. We have introduced a novel system architecture to accelerate the computation, which is traditionally an extremely expensive task. Non-linear deformations are solved based on the principle of energy conservation. Large plastic deformations resulting from collisions are modelled as a weighted combination of deformation examples of beams which can be produced using classical mechanics. © 2009 IEEE.
