Prior to the computer era, analytical methods in elasticity had already been developed and-
proved up to impressive levels. Relevant mathematical techniques were extensively …

Research papers published on parallel processing, supercomputing, and distributed
computing since 1994 are reviewed in this article. The focus is on review of the archival …

This paper examines the performance of the Jacobi preconditioner when used with two
Krylov subspace iterative methods. The number of iterations needed for convergence was …

This study investigates the viability of applying three-dimensional finite element analyses to
the prediction of ground movement arising from earth pressure balance tunnelling. It seeks …

The two main objectives of virtual assembly are:(1) to train assembly-operators through
virtual assembly models, and (2) to simultaneously evaluate products for ease-of-assembly …

The derivation and implementation of a multilevel analysis methodology for solid laminated
composite beams is presented. The methodology is based on a hierarchy of solution levels …

The framework of this paper is the parallelization of a plasticity algorithm that uses an implicit
method and an incremental approach. More precisely, we will focus on some specific …

A serious computational bottle-neck in finite element analysis today is the solution of the
underlying system of equations. To alleviate this problem, researchers have proposed the …

With the rapid developments of computer and computational technology, ordinary desktop
computers have been widely used to solve engineering problems by scientists and …

Finite element analysis (FEA) is the most popular numerical method today for solving solid
mechanics and other boundary value problems. FEA is used to solve a variety or problems …
