In vascular interventional surgery, the virtual reality simulation is indispensable for catheter-based operation system because it provide the surgeon of visual scene between catheter and vascular. However, most VR systems only present the vascular geometry model which indicates vascular is a rigid object. So as to display the deformation of vascular, it is necessary to consider the vascular ph...

In this paper, we study the nonlinear response of the nonlinear mass-spring model with nonsmooth stiffness. For this purpose, we take as prototype model, a system that consists of the double-well smooth potential with an additional spring component acting on the system only for large enough displacement. We focus our study on the analysis of the homoclinic orbits for such nonlinear potential fo...

The technology of cloth simulation can be used in many fields. Based on physical model of cloth simulation, we established the simulation system with a simplified mass-spring model. A modified implicit method was proposed in order to produces realistic animation. This method can increase the computational efficiency to a large extent and is easy to be realized with a stable and good real-time p...

In this paper we consider a nonlinear strongly damped wave equation as a model for a controlled spring–mass–damper system and give some results concerning its large time behaviour. It can be seen that the infinite dimensional system admits a twodimensional attracting manifold where the equation is well represented by a classical nonlinear oscillations ODE, which can be exhibited explicitly. In ...

During human and animal locomotion, the dynamics of the body can be represented with the help of simplified biomechanical models, such as the spring-mass model (often described as spring-loaded inverted pendulum, SLIP model). In this model, it is assumed that the force generated by each limb resembles that of a linear spring. Furthermore, it is assumed that force generated by the leg mainly act...

In this paper an original application of spring-mass based model to NURBS surface reconstruction from point clouds is described. In last few years spring-mass models have been largely and successfully applied in Computer Animation for cloth simulation, but their application has been limited to non-Engineering fields. Following the physical metaphor of laying a cloth over a non-structured set of...

In this paper, MM-Model is presented for real-time simulation of 3D deformable objects on both global level and local region. This model consists of a deformable centerline and dynamic surface reconstruction mechanism based on Mass-Spring and Medial-Representation respectively. When a relatively small force is applied on the object the model works in the same way as the traditional Mass-Spring....

A hybrid physical-based deformation modeling (HPDM) technique for our laparoscopic surgery simulation system is proposed. The proposed technique consists of three components: (i) approximate continuum free-form deformation modeling, (ii) efficient collision detection for non-rigid objects, and (iii) mass-spring modeling for force feedback implementation. Three physical-based deformation modelin...

in this study, the longitudinal shrinkage behavior of knitted fabrics during drying has been studied. in this context, a model is presented to predict the longitudinal shrinkage of plain knitted fabric during drying process. in order to model the shrinkage behavior, a 1dof model consists of a mass, a linear spring and a linear damper have been used. in presented model the time-varying mass is c...

Mass-spring systems are often used to model anatomical structures in medical simulation. They can produce plausible deformations in soft tissue, and are computationally efficient. Determining damping values for a stable mass-spring system can be difficult. Previously stable models can become unstable with topology changes, such as during cutting. In this paper, we derive bounds for the damping ...
