The primary goal of cloth simulation is to express object behavior in a realistic manner and achieve real-time performance by following the fundamental concept of physic. In general, the mass–spring system is applied to real-time cloth simulation with three types of springs. However, hard spring cloth simulation using the mass–spring system requires a small integration time-step in order to use a large stiffness coefficient. Furthermore, to obtain stable behavior, constraint enforcement is used instead of maintenance of the force of each spring. Constraint force computation involves a large sparse linear solving operation. Due to the large computation, we implement a cloth simulation using adaptive constraint activation and deactivation techniques that involve the mass–spring system and constraint enforcement method to prevent excessive elongation of cloth. At the same time, when the length of the spring is stretched or compressed over a defined threshold, adaptive constraint activation and deactivation method deactivates the spring and generate the implicit constraint. Traditional method that uses a serial process of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) to solve the system in every frame cannot handle the complex structure of clothmodel in real-time. Our simulation utilizes the Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) parallel processing with compute shader in OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) to solve the system effectively. In this paper, we design and implement parallel method for cloth simulation, and experiment on the performance and behavior comparison of the mass–spring system, constraint enforcement, and adaptive constraint activation and deactivation techniques the using GPU-based parallel method. 相似文献
Summary Using a bead spring model of flexible polymer chains, the density profiles and chain configurational properties of polymer solutions confined between parallel plates were studied. A wide range of density , chain length N, and strength of a short-range attractive wall potential was investigated. Both a temperature T in the good solvent regime (T > , being the Theta temperature where a chain in unconfined bulk three-dimensional solution would behave ideally) and a temperature in the bad solvent regime (T < ) were considered. It is shown that phase separation in a polymer-rich and polymer-poor solution in the slit competes with polymer adsorption at the walls. A qualitative connection to the wetting behavior of semi-infinite polymer solutions is drawn. The acceptance rate for monomer motions was studied for various conditions, and profiles of monomer mobility across the slit were recorded. Also, average chain relaxation times were extracted from the time dependence of mean-square displacements. Although with increasing density the chain radii (at T > ) show a crossover from two-dimensional excluded volume behavior (Rg N2 with = 3/4) to ideal random walk behavior ( = 1/2), the relaxation times show effective exponents Zeff ( NZeff) that clearly deviate from the Rouse prediction in concentrated confined solutions. 相似文献
The nitrogen dioxide (NO2) sensing capability of polypyrrole (PPy) was enhanced dramatically after functionalized with iron(III)phthalocyanine-4,4′,4″,4-tetrasulfonic acid monosodium salt (FePcTSA). The incorporated phthalocyanine was confirmed by different characterization techniques such as UV–vis spectroscopy, FTIR, GFAAS, EDAX, etc. The resistance of the functionalized PPy decreased spontaneously during exposure to NO2 gas at room temperature. This material exhibited excellent stability, reversibility, and reproducibility. The lowest response time (t50) thus obtained is 47 s with a highest response factor (ΔR/R0 × 100) of 50.25. 相似文献
Active vibration control is used to instead passive solutions in order to increase the performance at low frequencies, in a variety of different engineering systems. This method has improved the performance specifically. The paper will propose a proportional difference type iterative learning control algorithm to deal with the periodic sources and to investigate the active solution as the three degrees of freedom "mass spring damping" mount. Simulation shows that this method could get a better tracking performance, also the displacement could converge to zero with a fast speed. 相似文献
This paper is focused on the study of a new low frequency micro and nanoforce sensor based on diamagnetic levitation. The force sensitive part is a 10-cm long macroscopic capillary tube used as a levitating seismic mass. This tube presents a naturally stable equilibrium state with six degrees of freedom thanks to the combination of diamagnetic repulsive and magnetic attractive forces. It is only used as a one-direction force sensing device along its longitudinal axis. This force sensor is passive. The force measurement is based on the displacement of the capillary tube and in steady-state this displacement is proportional to the force. This sensor is characterized by an under-damped second-order linear force-displacement dynamic which remains linear on several hundred micrometers and can thus measure a wide range of microforces. Because of the magnetic springs configuration used, the capillary tube presents a horizontal mechanical stiffness that can be adjusted between 0.01 and 0.03 N/m (similar to the stiffness of a thin AFM cantilever). The measurement range typically varies between ±50 μN. Bandwidth is 4 Hz. The resolution depends on the sensor used to measure the capillary tube displacement and on noises induced by environmental conditions (ground and air vibrations). The resolution typically reached with a STIL confocal chromatic sensor is 5 nN inside a test chamber located on a anti-vibration table. This study is illustrated by a pull-off force measurement. 相似文献
For composites to compete in vehicle suspension applications, it is essential to control their failure by utilising their strength in principal direction instead of shear. This can be achieved efficiently by employing a new configuration instead of existing one. This study marries between an elliptical configuration and the woven roving composites.
In this paper, the influence of ellipticity ratio on performance of woven roving wrapped composite elliptical springs has been investigated both experimentally and numerically. A series of experiments was conducted for composite elliptical springs with ellipticity ratios (a/b) ranging from one to two. Typical failure histories of their failure mechanism are presented and discussed. In general, this study demonstrated that composites elliptical spring can be used for light and heavy trucks and meet the requirements, together with substantial weight saving. The results showed that the ellipticity ratio significantly influenced the spring rate and failure loads. Composite elliptic spring with ellipticity ratios of a/b 2.0 displayed the highest spring rate. 相似文献
