Crack pattern simulation based on 3D surface cellular automata

摘要

This article describes a method for model ing the propagation of cracks on any 3D sur- face. This method allows almost any type of cracks on any type of triangulated 3D object. Our model's main advantage is that it proposes a semi-physical solution, mak- ing it both user controllable and easily ex- tensible. We first introduce the general de- velopment of cracks. We then present our original model of spectrum stress, followed by a description of the mutual interaction between cracks and stresses.
