Simulation of the fracture of materials and structures under dynamic loads using parallel computing

Abstract

Abstract The present work suggests algorithm enabling to describe adequately fracture of materials and structures under impulse loadings. The methodology of reconfiguration finite element mesh with re-computation of concentrated masses in nodes is considered. The algorithm uses all the capabilities of modern parallel computing to the full extent and can be easily scaled for all possible objectives. Numerical methodology demonstrates good qualitative and quantitative comparison with the experimental data.
