Title : Fast Muscle Wrapping Using Natural Geodesic Variations
Abstract: An important consideration for biomechanical simulations is muscle wrapping. It is necessary to determine the correct path taken by muscles and tendons around bones and other obstacles for accurate force and torque computations. In this talk, I will present a fast wrapping algorithm that's designed to work with analytic parametric surfaces, which utilizes natural geodesic variations in conjunction with Newton's method to iteratively converge on a valid wrapping path. Required mathematical topics (mainly differential geometry of curves and surfaces) will also be briefly reviewed. |
