Fast Yet Realistic Deformation and Fracture,
2001

Programming, Lecture

James O'Brien
Professor, University of California, Berkeley
This talk discusses the details of a simple to implement finite element method for modeling deformable solids. Although the mathematical underpinnings of continuum mechanics cannot be ignored, the main concern of the talk focuses on how one goes about implementing and using the techniques to generate interesting behaviors. In addition to basic elastic deformation, more advance techniques for plastic deformation and fracture are also covered.

An understanding of a simple finite element method that can be used to model things that bend, jiggle, twist, break, shatter, and tear.
