Abstract

This study presents parallel finite element analysis techniques using h-, p- and hp-refinement for two and three dimensional problems in solid and structural mechanics based on a static load balancing implementation. According to this approach the finite element mesh is re-decomposed after each adaptive step and the whole parallel finite element analysis procedure starts from the beginning. The parallel techniques implemented for the solution of the finite element system at each adaptive step are based on the FETI method, which is a dual domain decomposition formulation. The algorithms are applied on a parallel computing environment which consists of ethernet-networked workstations running the message passing software PVM.
