On a parallel multilevel solver for linear elasticity problems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper an application of the additive multilevel iteration method to parallel solving of large{scale linear elasticity problems is considered. The results are derived in the framework of the hierarchical basis nite{element discretization deened on a tensor product ^ T (i) xyz = ^ T (i) xy ^ T z of one{dimensional grid ^ T z and a sequence of nested triangula-tions ^ T (i) xy. The algorithm is tested on a number of model problems, arising from bridge foundation modeling. Parallel performance of the solver is reported for Cray T3E{600 and Sun ES/4000 computer systems.

Parallel Multigrid Solvers for 3D Unstructured Finite Element Problems in Large Deformation Elasticity and Plasticity
Multigrid is a popular solution method for the set of linear algebraic equations that arise from PDEs discretized with the nite element method. The application of multigrid to unstructured grid problems, however, is not well developed. We discuss a method, that uses many of the same techniques as the nite element method itself, to apply standard multigrid algorithms to unstructured nite element...
متن کاملParallel multi-frontal solver for multi-physics p adaptive problems
The paper presents a parallel direct solver for multi-physics problems. The solver is dedicated for solving problems resulting from adaptive Finite Element Method computations. The concept of finite element is actually replaced by the concept of the node. The computational mesh consists of several nodes, related to element vertices, edges, faces and interiors. The ordering of unknowns in the so...

متن کاملA Parallel Frontal Solver For Large Scale Process Simulation and Optimization
For the simulation and optimization of large-scale chemical processes, the overall computing time is often dominated by the time needed to solve a large sparse system of linear equations. We present here a new parallel frontal solver which can signi cantly reduce the wallclock time required to solve these linear equation systems using parallel/vector supercomputers. The algorithm exploits both ...
