In this paper, three-dimensional(3D) Numerical Manifold Method (NNM) based on hexahedron element cover with full first-order cover function is proposed and the shape function of C8 isoparametric element in FEM is used as the cover weight function. All sub-matrices in equilibrium equations, including stiffness matrix, initial stress matrix, point force matrix, surface force matrix, body force matrix, inertia force matrix, contact matrix and friction matrix, are derived. Different with 2D contact, the direction of shear stiffness and friction force can not be easily defined in 3D contact. A new iterative method based on vector theory to detect the contact direction is developed. The application of 3D NMM in underground excavation is also presented and show good agreement with real engineering.

Numerical manifold method (NMM) is based on the blocky theory which absorbed the advantages of finite element method based on the continuum mechanics, discontinuous deformation analysis method based on the non-continuum mechanics and analytic method. According to the finite covering technology of modern manifold analysis method, uniform solving format on continuous-non-continuous problems is established by taking the continuous and discontinuous cover function which can be used for the numerical simulation of large deformation and continuous-discontinuous deformation. The calculation program is worked out based on the method above and it is applied to the actual project.
