Interactive simulation of realistic flexible and tearable membrane using virtual reality and haptic force-feedback interface
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8243-8142
The paper deals with the description of a methodology for addressing the real-time simulation of a soft membrane that can be deformed and torn by the interactive two-way action of the user. The methodology makes use of the combination of an efficient real-time solver, a haptic interface with force feedback and it is implemented in a virtual reality environment in order to achieve a very high level of immersion. The elastic properties of the membrane and the corresponding haptic feedback are modelled using an accurate structural model based on a flexible-rigid (f-rigid) multibody model. The f-rigid approach is a trade-off between the accuracy of a full finite element model and the computational efficiency of a multibody model able to be solved using high efficiency sequential impulse solver. The f-rigid model is verified by dedicated experimental tests about nonlinear deformation and rupture. The proposed methodology can be the base of the development of interactive training environments, ergonomic and usability studies and for the assessment and optimization of product design.
