Deforming Geometric Volumes: Kinematics, Dynamics, Constraints, and Collisions

February, 2002
These notes are intended as an outline of some geometric techniques that may be applicable to modeling and dynamics problems that include volumetric objects. Of particular interest are objects consisting of an enclosed volume, with the volume undergoing deformations while subjected to external forces, collisions, and boundary constraints
that combine to reshape the volume dynamically.
