Adaptive Tearing and Cracking of Thin Sheets, SIGGRAPH 2014

SIGGRAPH 2014 -- Tobias Pfaff, Rahul Narain, Juan Miguel de Joya, and James F. O’Brien Project page: Abstract: This paper presents a method for adaptive fracture propagation in thin sheets. A high-quality triangle mesh is dynamically structured to adaptively maintain detail wherever it is required by the simulation. These requirements include refining where cracks are likely to either start or advance. Refinement ensures that the stress distribution ar
