A new approach to rigid-body simulation lets engineers with Hitachi Construction Machinery (HCM), Tokyo, model motions of off-highway vehicles that typically don't have shock-absorbing suspension ...

Below is a set of simulation results for a two-DOF translational system having a rigid body mode resulting from zero initial stretch/compression in the spring and initial velocities for the two masses ...

Kinetic art, such as mobile sculptures and balance toys, is art that involves movement. The design of original kinetic art is difficult because one must consider physics in order to predict the result ...

The effects of a real life high-speed collision on a car are catastrophic. In video games, however, things are different. Technical ceilings, licensing hurdles and other factors have long conspired to ...
