Parallelized Two-Scale Analysis with a PC Cluster for Elastic-Plastic Heterogeneous Media

摘要

This paper presents a method of parallel computation particularized for the two- scale analysis of elastic-plastic heterogeneous media with periodic microstructures. Due to the mathematical structure inherent to the multi-scale modeling by the Homgoenization theory, the numerical algorithm is successfully incorporated with a Clustered-type parallel computer. Simple numerical example is presented to illus- Trate the essential idea of parallelized, nonlinear two-scale analysis method and the Algorithmic difficulty associated with computational load for each CPU.
