Abstract:

The present paper summarizes the developed parallel algorithm for explicit time integration with efficient nonlocal material model support, within the framework of finite element method. A central difference method is used to discretize equilibrium equation in time and the application of both dual partitioning techniques is discussed. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by 3D analysis on several parallel architectures.
