Abstract
This paper presents a new tool to find the spatial configuration of a mechanical
system which comprises elastic fibres interacting both with each other and/or
with rigid bodies. The configuration is determined by means of the principle
of the minimum elastic potential energy of the system. Coulomb friction is
neglected at the contacts. The paper gives an overview on the optimal representation
of the rigid body shapes in the collison detection problem. In particular,
the paper presents an elastic fiber model and describes the rigid body representation
adopted. Both have been implemented in the tool. Finally an application
of the tool to the biomechanical field is presented which makes it possible to find
the spatial configuration of the human ligaments at the ankle joint complex.
