Download Modeling Interactions between Rubbed Dry Surfaces Using an Elasto-Plastic Friction Model A physically based model of the frictional interaction between dry surfaces is presented. The paper reviews a number of static and dynamic friction models, and discusses numerical techniques for the accurate and efficient numerical implementation of a dynamic elasto-plastic model. An application to the bowed string is provided, and the resulting simulations are compared to recent results from the literature.
Download Recognition of Distance Cues from a Virtual Spatialization Model Emerging issues in the auditory display aim at increasing the usability of interfaces. In this paper we present a virtual resonating environment, which synthesizes distance cues by means of reverberation. We realize a model that recreates the acoustics inside a tube, applying a numerical scheme called Waveguide Mesh, and we present the psychophysical experiments we have conducted for validating the information about distance conveyed by the virtual environment.
