Mesh Processing Non‐Meshes via Neural Displacement Fields
Abstract Mesh processing pipelines are mature, but adapting them to newer non‐mesh surface representations—which enable fast rendering with compact file size—requires costly meshing or transmitting bulky meshes, negating their core benefits for streaming applications.

Progressively Projected Newton's Method
Abstract Newton's Method is widely used to find the solution of complex non‐linear simulation problems. To guarantee a descent direction, it is common practice to clamp the negative eigenvalues of each element Hessian prior to assembly—a strategy known as Projected Newton (PN)—but this perturbation often hinders convergence.

Hierarchical Optimization of the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Energy
Abstract The As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy [SA07] has become a versatile ingredient in various geometry processing and machine learning methods. The classic method for its minimization is a block coordinate descent, alternating between local rotation estimation and a global linear solve, which converges slowly for large problem instances.

Abstract We introduce mixed super‐circles, a position‐curvature formulation of the original dynamic 2D super‐helix model. Compared to the latter, purely curvature‐based model – the so‐called chained formulation –, the mixed formulation that we propose here drastically reduces the algorithmic complexity of the solving scheme – from quadratic to quasi ...

Fast Nodal Hessian Computation for Peridynamic Fracture Simulation
A fast, exact nodal Hessian computation for Non‐Ordinary State‐Based Peridynamics is introduced through analytical simplification and a warp‐centric GPU strategy. The method accelerates preconditioned solvers and Vertex Block Descent, enabling interactive fracture simulation with physical accuracy.

Abstract We present a fast, robust method for continuous collision detection (CCD) directly between pairs of complex signed distance fields (SDFs). By casting CCD as an alternating spatio‐temporal optimization and driving a small set of smartly sampled surface points along SDF tangent spaces, our approach avoids dense sampling or triangle meshes ...

A Splitting Architecture for Exact Reduced Coulomb Friction
Abstract Existing approaches to frictional contact dynamics typically either modify the Coulomb law to improve numerical robustness or solve the exact law in a fully coupled monolithic form. However, in its reduced form, exact Coulomb friction can be written as a cone complementarity problem with an augmented velocity, which reveals a natural split ...

ABSTRACT This study experimentally and numerically investigates fatigue damage in additively manufactured 316L stainless steel produced by selective laser melting using the powder bed fusion–laser beam process. More than 100 specimens were tested under tensile and strain‐controlled fatigue loading to evaluate the effects of surface condition, hot ...

Hatching failure represents a significant and growing barrier to reproductive success in threatened birds and yet is often poorly understood. Populations of the Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland have experienced significant declines over recent decades, and low breeding productivity is a major barrier to ...

Debt Aversion: Theory and Measurement
ABSTRACT We propose a model of debt aversion and conduct an experiment with real debt and saving contracts to jointly elicit debt aversion and preferences over time, risk, and intertemporal losses. We find that 89% of participants are debt averse, which strongly influences their choices.
