Description for Guide to Dynamic Simulations of Rigid Bodies and Particle Systems
Hardcover. This book introduces techniques for producing realistic simulations and animations of particle and rigid-body systems. The focus is on both the theoretical and practical aspects of developing and implementing physically based dynamic-simulation engines. Series: Simulation Foundations, Methods and Applications. Num Pages: 402 pages, biography. BIC Classification: UGK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 243 x 159 x 27. Weight in Grams: 740.
This book introduces the techniques needed to produce realistic simulations and animations of particle and rigid-body systems. The text focuses on both the theoretical and practical aspects of developing and implementing physically based dynamic-simulation engines. Each chapter examines numerous algorithms, describing their design and analysis in an accessible manner, without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor. Features: examines the problem of computing an hierarchical representation of the geometric description of each simulated object, as well as the simulated world; discusses the use of discrete and continuous collision detection to handle thin or fast-moving objects; describes the computational techniques needed ...

Reviews for Guide to Dynamic Simulations of Rigid Bodies and Particle Systems
From the reviews: “This book offers lengthy descriptions of simulations in general, and specific kinds of systems in more depth. The chapters cover a broad range of topics. … The book also contains nine appendices on useful mathematical tools, such as differential equations, quaternions, and the convex decomposition of polyhedra. … The target audience is software developers interested in ...
