Abstract In this work, PDSL(pre-detection sort last) and SDSL(strip-wise decomposition sort last) parallel visualization algorithms are proposed for efficient visualization of massive data generated from large-scale parallel finite element analysis through investigating the characteristics of distributed parallel finite element analysis procedure. The proposed parallel visualization algorithms are based on the sort last approach, and designed to be highly compatible with the characteristics of domain-wise computation in parallel finite element analysis. To investigate the performances of proposed algorithms, in-house software is developed by applying the binary tree network communication pattern along with the proposed sorting algorithms, and benchmarking test for parallel visualization… More >

Abstract In this study, an improvement technique of convergence property of Communication Avoiding (CA) Kyrlov subspace method is proposed, and parallelization efficiencies of CA Krylov subspace method is numerically investigated. As is known that most of all the procedures of the Krylov subspace method are constituted by addition of vectors, inner products and multiplication of matrices and vectors. These operations are very easy to derive a parallelization efficiency. However, the candidate coefficient matrices of linear system obtained from the numerical analysis such as Finite Element Method are large sparse matrices, and communications occur between Processing Units at short intervals in parallel… More >

Abstract In order to investigate the influence of length and compression directions upon behaviour of parallel bamboo strand lumber (PBSL) specimens, 240 axial compression tests have been performed. With three similar one different typical failure modes, the mechanical performance for PBSL specimens under compression parallel to grain and perpendicular to grain are different as a whole. From the point of the characteristic values, the compression strength parallel to grain is 2.1 times of the compression strength perpendicular to grain. The elastic modulus for compression parallel to grain is 3.64 times of the compression strength perpendicular to grain. While the compression ratios… More >

Abstract We present a high performance modularly-built open-source software - OpenIFEM. OpenIFEM is a C++ implementation of the modified immersed finite element method (mIFEM) to solve fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. This software is modularly built to perform multiple tasks including fluid dynamics (incompressible and slightly compressible fluid models), linear and nonlinear solid mechanics, and fully coupled fluid-structure interactions. Most of open-source software packages are restricted to certain discretization methods; some are under-tested, under-documented, and lack modularity as well as extensibility. OpenIFEM is designed and built to include a set of generic classes for users to adapt so that any fluid and… More >

Abstract Recent developments of the Earth Simulator, a high-performance parallel computer, has made it possible to realize realistic 3D simulations of seismic wave propagations on a regional scale including higher frequencies. Paralleling this development, the deployment of dense networks of strong ground motion instruments in Japan (K-NET and KiK-net) has now made it possible to directly visualize regional seismic wave propagation during large earthquakes. Our group has developed an efficient parallel finite difference method (FDM) code for modeling the seismic wavefield and a 3D visualization technique, both suitable for implementation on the Earth Simulator. Large-scale 3D simulations of seismic wave propagation… More >

Abstract This paper presents an algorithm for automatic partitioning of unstructured meshes for parallel finite element computations employing float-encoded genetic algorithms (FEGA). The problem of mesh partitioning is represented in such a way that the number of variables considered in the genome (chromosome) construction is constant irrespective of the size of the problem. In order to accelerate the computational process, several acceleration techniques like constraining the search space, local improvement after initial global partitioning have been attempted. Finally, micro float-encoded genetic algorithms have been developed to accelerate the computational process. More >

Abstract Hybrid simulation can be a cost effective approach for dynamic testing of structural components at full scale while capturing the system level response through interactions with a numerical model. The dynamic response of a seismically isolated structure depends on the combined characteristics of the ground motion, bearings, and superstructure. Therefore, dynamic full-scale system level tests of isolated structures under realistic dynamic loading conditions are desirable towards a holistic validation of this earthquake protection strategy. Moreover, bearing properties and their ultimate behavior have been shown to be highly dependent on rate-of-loading and scale size effects, especially under extreme loading conditions. Few… More >

Abstract A matrix equation solved in an eddy current analysis, A-ϕ method based on a domain decomposition method becomes a complex symmetric system. In general, iterative method is used as the solver. Convergence of iterative method in an interface problem is improved by increasing an accuracy of a solution of an iterative method of a subdomain problem. However, it is difficult to improve the convergence by using a small convergence criterion in the subdomain problem. Therefore, authors propose a method to introduce double-double precision into the interface problem and the subdomain problem. This proposed method improves the convergence of the interface… More >

Abstract Linear Stability Analysis (LSA) of parallel shear flows, v ia local and global approaches, is presented. The local analysis is carried out by solving the Orr-Sommerfeld (OS) equation using a spectral-collocation method based on Chebyshev polynomials. A stabilized finite element formulation is employed to carry out the global analysis using the linearized disturbance equations in primitive variables. The local and global analysis are compared. As per the Squires theorem, the two-dimensional disturbance has the largest growth rate. Therefore, only two-dimensional disturbances are considered. By its very nature, the local analysis assumes the disturbance field to be spatially periodic in the… More >
