Antialiasing is a necessary component of any high quality renderer. An antialiased image is produced by convolving the scene with an antialiasing filter and sampling the result, or equivalently by solving the antialiasing integral at each pixel. Though methods for analytically computing this integral exist, they require the continuous two-dimensional result of visible-surface computations. Beca...

This note gives a necessary and sufficient condition that a compressible, isotropic elastic material should admit non-trivial states of finite anti-plane shear. One of the simplest classes of deformations of solids is that of anti-plane shear, in which each particle of a cylindrical body undergoes a displacement parallel to the generators of the cylinder and independent of the axial position of...

CRACKS in ductile single crystals are analyzed here for geometries and orientations such that twodimensional states of anti-plane shear constitute possible deformation fields. The crystals are modelled as ideally plastic and yield according to critical resolved shear stresses on their slip systems. Restrictions on the asymptotic forms of stress and deformation fields at crack tips are establish...
