title: Deformation simulation algorithms of elastic tissues in "real-time" based in elasticity theory.
abstract: In this paper, a new deformable model based in Boundary Elements Method (BEM) is presented. This model is characterised by its robustness and high deformation calculation speed. Experiments developed show that this model could calculate elastic deformations of elastic objects composed by 150 nodes with a 15 Hz. refresh rate (minim refresh rate acceptable in real time interactive systems).
