Distribution of Fragments Resulting from Polygonal Object Fracture

Abstract

This report presents an approach for the distribution of fragments resulting from the fracture of a polygonal object. Earlier research discussed a technique for polygonal object fracture. These 'interior' clipped polygons represent the debris resulting from a munition perforating an urban structure in the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Dismounted Infantry Simulator (DISim). This is just one component of DISim, which is a tool that provides for the training of military operations in urban terrain (MOUT). It is important to include any data that better prepares the soldier for this often chaotic environment.
