SIGGRAPH 2020 Aniso MPM: Animating Anisotropic Damage Mechanics

We present AnisoMPM: a robust and general approach that couples anisotropic damage evolution and anisotropic elastic response to animate the dynamic fracture of isotropic, transversely isotropic, and orthotropic materials. Abstract: Dynamic fracture surrounds us in our daytoday lives, but animating this phenomenon is notoriously difficult and only further complicated by anisotropic materialsthose with underlying structures that dictate preferred fracture directions. Thus, we present AnisoMPM: a robust
