The skeleta of convex bodies

David G. Larman (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The connectivity and measure theoretic properties of the skeleta of convex bodies in Euclidean space are discussed, together with some long standing problems and recent results.

The determination of convex bodies from the size and shape of their projections and sections

Paul Goodey (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We survey results concerning the extent to which information about a convex body's projections or sections determine that body. We will see that, if the body is known to be centrally symmetric, then it is determined by the size of its projections. However, without the symmetry condition, knowledge of the average shape of projections or sections often determines the body. Rather surprisingly, the dimension of the projections or sections plays a key role and exceptional cases do occur...

New methods in collision of bodies analysis

Němec, Ivan, Vala, Jiří, Štekbauer, Hynek, Jedlička, Michal, Burkart, Daniel

Similarity:

The widely used method for solution of impacts of bodies, called the penalty method, is based on the contact force proportional to the length of the interpenetration of bodies. This method is regarded as unsatisfactory by the authors of this contribution, because of an inaccurate fulfillment of the energy conservation law and violation of the natural demand of impenetrability of bodies. Two non-traditional methods for the solution of impacts of bodies satisfy these demands exactly, or...

On a computational approach to multiple contacts / impacts of elastic bodies

Vala, Jiří, Rek, Václav

Similarity:

The analysis of dynamic contacts/impacts of several deformable bodies belongs to both theoretically and computationally complicated problems, because of the presence of unpleasant nonlinearities and of the need of effective contact detection. This paper sketches how such difficulties can be overcome, at least for a model problem with several elastic bodies, using i) the explicit time-discretization scheme and ii) the finite element technique adopted to contact evaluations together with...
