Finite element analysis of welding process by parallel computation

병렬 처리를 이용한 용접 공정 유한 요소 해석

An implicit finite element implementation for Leblond's transformation plasticity constitutive equations, which are widely used in welded steel structure is proposed in the framework of parallel computing. The implementation is based upon the multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient and hyper elastic formulation. We examine the efficiency of parallel computation for the finite element analysis of a welded structure using domain-wise multi-frontal solver.
