Haptic rendering broadens the application fields of virtual reality extensively. Simulating the behavior of deformable objects becomes a core challenge in haptic rendering, which demands the trade-off between the real-time interactivity and the realism. In this paper, we classify various physically-based deformable models that have been developed, including mass-spring models, linked- volume models, finite-element-method models, boundary-element-method models, point-collocation models, tense-mass models, and hybrid models. The basic principles, advantages and disadvantages of those models are presented respectively. Finally, we carry out a comparison of these models and also suggest directions for the future investigation.
