Abstract

In order to deal with contact-impact problems of NURBS surface objects, a new 'pre-mapping and node-to-segment' algorithm (PMNS) is first presented with the advantages of both convenient to coding and high efficiency for calculation, in which the finite support property of the NURBS base function is utilized to compress the contact searching region. Moreover, the unified representation with respect to both adhering and frictional sliding of contact points is given to enhance contact constraints. The whole work is based on second development of ADAMS software and suitable for dynamic simulation between parametric surfaces with contact-impact.
