Gr. Johnson et Ra. Stryk, AN AUTOMATIC SLIDING INTERFACE ALGORITHM FOR INTENSE IMPULSIVE LOADING COMPUTATIONS, Communications in numerical methods in engineering, 12(12), 1996, pp. 885-896
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.
