Sandia Injury Biomechanics Laboratory (SIBL)
    |
Purpose
The Sandia Injury Biomechanics Laboratory analyzes injury due to blast, ballistics, and blunt trauma to help the nation protect the U.S. warfighter. Our contributions to the science of injury causation and prevention aim to significantly reduce the U.S. warfighter’s exposure to serious, severe, and fatal injuries.
For more information on the program — including publications, presentations, and reports — see our Sandia National Laboratories website.
Library
The SIBL Geometry Engine is an open-source geometry and mesh engine written in Python and C++ used for
- Bézier curves, surfaces, and volumes,
- B-spline curves, surfaces, and volumes, and
- Automatic mesh generation of a 2D quadrilateral mesh from a dualized, feature-refined quadtree.
Figure 1: Eight B-spline quadratic basis functions (reproduction of Cottrell et al. Figure 2.51 and Piegl and Tiller Figure 2.62).
Figure 2: Automatic mesh generation workflow using dualization.
Documentation
- Learn the formulation and Python implementation from the teaching slides: pdf download (3.3 MB).
- Review the Python library API through the test suite:
~/sibl> pytest -v - Automatically create a 2D dualized mesh from a discrete, well-defined boundary. Start here: Lessons
- Use xyfigure and a
.jsonconfiguration file to create high quality LaTeX figures. - Approximate the angular velocity of a quasi-rigid body using the Three Point Angular Velocity Algorithm (TPAV).
