Graphical modeling and animation of ductile fracture
James F. O’Brien · 2002
This video demonstrates a method for realistically animating ductile fracture in common solid materials such as plastics and metals. The effects that characterize ductile fracture occur due to interactions between yielding plastic and the fracture process. By modeling this interaction, this ductile fracture method can generate realistic motion for a much wider range of materials than could be realized with a purely brittle model.
