Abstract
This paper presents an automatic sliding interface algorithm for inten se impulsive loading computations due to high velocity impact and expl osive detonation. This algorithm allows the user to perform computatio ns involving complex sliding interfaces without having to predetermine the sliding interfaces; everything is automated. The interface determ ination algorithm, the searching algorithm and the contact algorithm a re included.
