Abstract

We present a modified coupled particle system for the animation of flexible body motion, deformation and breakage. The standard Lennard-Jones model of inter-particle potential is replaced by a little known potential theory originally formulated by Fr. Roger Boscovich in 1765. This, multi rest-point, approach yields elegant solutions for problems which have proved difficult to address using alternative interparticle potentials (e.g. permanent plastic deformation). Experimental simulation, results and analysis are presented which validate the approach.
