Contact Clustering for Deformable Soil Interaction

Contact Clustering for Deformable Soil Interaction has been accepted as a poster in SCA'12. Our main goal is to determine several contact regions from an unstructured set of contact data, in order to apply deformation-pressure models from terramechanics. This work has been developed with Miguel Lozano, Marta Pla-Castells and Juanma Orduña. Project page.

In this video you can see the sequence of clusters generated during a collision of a box against bumpy soil.
