Cloth is difficult to simulate because it forms small, complex folds. These folds make cloth configuration difficult to measure. Particular problems include fast motion (ruling out laser ranging methods), the necessity for high resolution measurement, the fact that no viewing direction can see into the folds, and the fact that many points are visible with either small baseline or in only one vi...

This essay focuses on metadiscourse, a name for elements of texts that convey meanings other than  those  that  are  primarily  referential.    The  essay  provides  some  theoretical  background  to the  study  of  metadiscourse,  briefly  reviews  a  taxonomy  of  metadiscourse,  and  explores  four reasons why the study of metadiscourse is interesting and important: (a) Such study shows how ...

Fine-grained particle systems build up a highly consolidated and thin layer on the filter medium cause high cake resistance. The objective of novel thin-film filtration process is an effective mechanical separation these using membranes vacuum drum filter. stability membrane evaluated since roller required for discharge performance compared with that commonly used cloth. Analyses reveal surface...

Background: The ultrasonography probes are cleaned by absorbent soft, dry cloth. This question arose whether linear and convex ultrasound probes coupling with gel could perform as a means for nosocomial infections transmission, and which method is economical and more efficient for cleaning the probes. This study was conducted to answer these questions. Methods: One hundred – ninety two patients...

1. Abstract Cloth simulation is an important research area in the field of deformable object modelling in computer graphics. Deformable objects allow much greater realism to be achieved in graphically generated scenes. However, in interactive environments rigid bodies usually dominate due to their computational efficiency. Cloth simulation addresses many issues in computer graphics such as defo...

The present study addresses the constitutive model of cloth using anisotropic hyperelastic materials and its implementation into a nonlinear finite shell element in order to simulate large deformation behavior of cloth. Present work focuses on a macroscopic continuum constitutive model able to capture the appropriate mechanical behavior of cloth, which is characterized by two families of yarns,...
