Simulating the mechanical behavior of a cloth is a very challenging and important problem in computer animation. The models of bending in most existing cloth simulation approaches are taking the assumption that the cloth is little deformed from a plate shape. Therefore, based on the thin-plate theory, these bending models do not consider the condition that the current shape of the cloth under l...

Among different physical simulation topics, cloth simulation is one of the most popular subjects in computer graphics. There are many different studies published on different aspects of cloth simulation, but there are not many studies focused on the tearing of cloth. Existing studies related to this topic have only dealt with some aspects of the problem [Metaaphanon et al. 2009] and have not pr...

Preferences for different housing conditions in mice were evaluated by radiotelemetry. Male C57BL/6J and ICR mice were used. Preference for bedding materials in mice was compared among three materials, wood shavings (WS), paper (CF) and cloth (AG), using the length of stay in cages as a parameter. The results indicated that mice stayed longer in a cage with AG than in cages with other bedding m...

Clothing simulation and animation are of great importance in computer animation. If cloth simulations could be improved to the point that they could generate realistic cloth motion in real-time, they would find uses in many aspects of daily life such as in fashion design and manufacturing. The area of cloth simulation and animation is full of technical challenges: creating more realistic result...

Lithium-Ion Capacitor In article number 2100029, Hui Sun, Qi Li, Zhibin Lei, and co-workers report the successful growth of KNb3O8 nanorods on conductive carbon cloth (CC) towards high-energy long-life lithium-ion capacitor. The short nanorods, enhanced conductivity negligible volume expansion during continuous charging/discharging process make one promising niobium-based anodes future charge s...

Clothing computer design systems include three integrated parts: garment pattern design in 2D/3D, virtual try-on and realistic clothing simulation. Some important results have been obtained in pattern design and clothing simulation since the 1980s. However, in the area of virtual try-on, only limited methods have been proposed which are applicable to some defined garment styles or under restric...

Parsing for clothes in images and videos is a critical step towards understanding the human appearance. In this work, we propose a method to segment clothes in settings where there is no restriction on number and type of clothes, pose of the person, viewing angle, occlusion and number of people. This is a challenging task as clothes, even of the same category, have large variations in color and...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the economic value of dispensing preoperative home-based chlorhexidine bathing cloth kits to orthopedic patients to prevent surgical site infection (SSI). METHODS A stochastic decision-analytic computer simulation model was developed from the hospital's perspective depicting the decision of whether to dispense the kits preoperatively to orthopedic patients. We varied pat...

decorate cloth. Although evidence of this art has been documented in many parts of the world, probably its origin is in the Island of Java, Indonesia. The word batik is derived from the Indonesian word ambatik, which means a cloth with little dots. Batik involves brushing or drawing molten wax onto designated areas of a cloth so that those areas can then resist coloration. Next, the cloth is dy...

Progress in cloth simulation for computer animation and apparel design has led to a multitude of deformation models, each with its own way of relating geometry, deformation, and forces. As simulators improve, differences between these models become more important, but it is difficult to choose a model and a set of parameters to match a given real material simply by looking at simulation results...
