Parallel computation of inelastic problems with boundary element methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
The parallel performance and efficiency of boundary element methods in the solution of inelastic problems are investigated. A parallel algorithm based on the so-called initial stress scheme for inelastic analysis is developed and implemented in BEMGEO (Boundary Element Method program for GEOmechanics applications). Numerical examples solved on an SP2 of 34 thin nodes are presented which highlight the advantage of boundary element methods in high performance computing.

This paper introduces a new method for accelerating current sluggish FEM and improving memory demand in FEM problems with high node resolution or bulky structures. Like most of the numerical methods, FEM results to a matrix equation which normally has huge dimension. Breaking the main matrix equation into several smaller size matrices, the solving procedure can be accelerated. For implementing ...
