Solving Nonlinear Transient Problem by Domain Decomposition Method

Abstract

Development of algorithms for parallel solution of nonlinear problems of transient mechanical response is considered in this work. Domain decomposition techniques are chosen as they result in efficient tools for solving large problems in engineering analysis.
They lead to bigh granularity tasks and result in powerful ways of performing parallel computations. They are also suitable for applications on different hardware architectures and/or different programming models. Algorithms.reported for structural mechanics are presented, as well as the characteristics of nonlinear finite element programs with regard to their parallel execution capability.
