Terms and Definitions for Investigating Real-Time Rigid Body Deformations in a Game Environment
Engineering Terms
- Stress
- Strain
- Deformation – Deformation – Wiki Page
- Elastic Deformation
- True Stress/Strain
- Plastic Deformation
- Deflection – Deflection – Wiki Page
This is just a list of useful terminology for understanding rigid body deformations in the real world in an effort to translate them into a virtual setting, preferably for games. I am currently looking into research that uses finite element analysis and modeling techniques in order to create physically accurate deformations in real-time in a video game setting.
