Abstract

This paper presents a new spatial contact detection algorithm for 3D Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA). Contact detection in DDA normally comprises two phases namely neighbor searching and contact pattern identification. The present new algorithm associated the two processes by using a multi-sphere cover (MSC) system. The cover system divides the geometrical elements of one block into smaller groups and therefore the volume of contact detection shell reduces and the loops for searching between geometrical elements decreases. Examples are tested to show the efficiency of the present algorithm.
