Laparoscopic surgery, which is one minimally invasive surgical technique that is now widely performed, is done by making a working space (pneumoperitoneum) by infusing carbon dioxide ([Formula: see ...

Develop a program to simulate cloth behavior using the Mass-Spring-Damper approach. The cloth is represented as a 2D grid of point masses connected by springs and influenced by forces such as gravity.

The cloth is represented as a collection of point-masses, connected in a grid shape by springs. Each point is affected by the following five forces: The point collection forms a grid from which ...

Abstract: This paper presents an optimized mass-spring-damper (MSD) model of the fluidic system in liquid-circular angular accelerometer (LCAA). The particle swarm optimization (PSO) is implemented to ...

Robots have proven very useful in automating industrial processes. Their rigid components and powerful actuators, however, render them unsafe or unfit to work in normal human environments such as ...

Abstract: Our intention, in this brief note, is to investigate what influence the viscoelastic models' unloading properties have on models' accuracy of representing vehicle crash event. Two types of ...
