We consider a variational scheme developed in [10] that approximates the equations describing the dynamics of three dimensional motions for isotropic elastic materials; these form a system of conservation laws. We establish the convergence of the time-continuous interpolates constructed in the scheme to a smooth solution of the elastodynamics system by adapting the relative entropy method to th...

New technologies and materials enable the physical form of display surfaces to become dynamic in terms of shape and movement. This enables devices to form a more intimate relationship with software data and the user’s environment. The research area of actuated interfaces aims at leveraging these qualities to enhance interaction with and representation of digital information, as well as creating...

Surgical simulation increasingly appears to be a mandatory aspect of tomorrow s surgery From today s gesture training surgical simulators will evolve in order to perform surgical planning with the ability to rehearse the various steps of the operation thus reducing oper ating time and risks In this paper we describe a virtual environment for surgical training and more speci cally a model based ...
