The mechanical equilibrium of a rope wrapped around a solid body or around another rope is investigated, with friction and tension being taken into account. Various examples are treated to illustrate the theory. Its application to knots and hitches is indicated.

We present a novel method for caging grasps in this paper by stretching ropes on the surface of a 3D object. Both topology and shape of a model to be grasped has been considered in our approach. Our algorithm can guarantee generating local minimal rings on every topological branches of a given model with the help of a Reeb graph.

Physical Review Letters, 2007
A rope falling onto a solid surface typically forms a series of regular coils. Here, we study this phenomenon using laboratory experiments (with cotton threads and softened spaghetti) and an asymptotic "slender-rope" numerical model. The excellent agreement between the two with no adjustable parameters allows us to determine a complete phase diagram ...

Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology, 2011
In this paper we describe Rope Revolution, a rope-based gaming system for collaborative play. After identifying popular rope games and activities around the world, we developed a generalized tangible rope interface that includes a compact motion-sensing and force-feedback module that can be used for a variety of rope-based games.

In our health care system, we strive to provide the right patients with the right care at the right time. The charter of the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Value & Science-Driven Health Care states: “By the year 2020, 90% of clinical decisions will be supported by accurate, timely, and up-to-date clinical information, and will reflect the best ...

Scientific American, 2014
When dribbled onto a surface, viscous fluids such as honey coil into a helix and form what look like miniature baskets. Only recently have physicists systematically studied the process and its unexpected complexity.Four distinct styles of coiling can occur depending on the balance of gravitational, frictional and inertial forces on the descending ...

Proceedings of the 2014 Virtual Reality International Conference, 2014
This paper proposes "Virtual Rope Slider", which expands a rope sliding experience by stimulating sense of sight, hearing, wind and vestibular sensation. A rope slide in a real world has physical restrictions in terms of scale and location whereas our "Virtual Rope Slider" provides scale and location independent experiences in the virtual environment ...
