D. Explicit Time Integration

 

We discretize the motion equations using the following finite differences in tex2html_wrap_inline1921 ( tex2html_wrap_inline2099 in the case of geometric constraints):

displaymath2542

We obtain the discrete form of (17) as

  eqnarray976

In this and the following explicit time integration schemes, all the matrices are evaluated at time t (instead of time tex2html_wrap_inline2277 as in the implicit schemes).

For D-NURBS surfaces with linear geometric constraints, (22) is discretized as

  eqnarray986

For the D-NURBS curve, we substitute tex2html_wrap_inline1925 with tex2html_wrap_inline2115 in (47) and (48).

The discretized forms of the simplified first order equations of motion (32) and (33) are

  equation1000

and

  equation1006
