Soft physics: healing the mind/body split in physics education

open access: yes, 2012
Physics education is facing a crisis of meaning: students can “plug” numbers into formulas, but research shows they do not give much meaning to physical concepts. This thesis explores how the cultural context of physics education, in particular the mind/body cartesian split, contributes to a loss of meaning.

Real-Time Soft Body Physics Engine for Enhanced ConvexPolygon Dynamics

open access: yes, 2023
This thesis covers the development process of implementation, and evaluation of a softbody physics engine for convex polygon objects. The main feature is implementation of adynamic polygon collider that represents a polygons shape correctly, while still being ableto collide with other objects in the simulation.

Information processing via physical soft body [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2015
AbstractSoft machines have recently gained prominence due to their inherent softness and the resulting safety and resilience in applications. However, these machines also have disadvantages, as they respond with complex body dynamics when stimulated.

Simulating Soft-Bodied Swimmers with Particle-Based Physics [PDF]

open access: yesSoft Robotics, 2019
Abstract In swimming virtual creatures, there is often a disparity between the level of detail in simulating a swimmer's body and that of the fluid it moves in. To address this disparity, we have developed a new approach to modeling swimming virtual creatures using pseudo-soft bodies and particle-based fluids, which has sufficient ...

A perspective on large-scale simulation as an enabler for novel biorobotics applications

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2023
Our understanding of the complex mechanisms that power biological intelligence has been greatly enhanced through the explosive growth of large-scale neuroscience and robotics simulation tools that are used by the research community to perform previously ...

Unifying Rigid and Soft Bodies Representation: The Sulfur Physics Engine [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computer Games Technology, 2014
Video games are (also) real-time interactive graphic simulations: hence, providing a convincing physics simulation for each specific game environment is of paramount importance in the process of achieving a satisfying player experience. While the existing game engines appropriately address many aspects of physics simulation, some others are still in ...

Simulating direct shear tests with the Bullet physics library: A validation study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
This study focuses on the possible uses of physics engines, and more specifically the Bullet physics library, to simulate granular systems. Physics engines are employed extensively in the video gaming, animation and movie industries to create physically ...

Multi-Modal Long-Term Person Re-Identification Using Physical Soft Bio-Metrics and Body Figure [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Person re-identification is the task of recognizing a subject across different non-overlapping cameras across different views and times. Most state-of-the-art datasets and proposed solutions tend to address the problem of short-term re-identification. Those models can re-identify a person as long as they are wearing the same clothes. The work presented
