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.
