Fundamental issues of accuracy, stability, and stiffness that are intrinsically related to the evolution of microstructural failure modes in metallic crystals are addressed. An adaptive finite-element methodology is introduced to classify these characteristics. A nonlinear initial value system is derived to update the plastic deformation-rate tensor. An explicit method is used in non-stiff domains, where accuracy is required. If a time-step reduction is due to stability, a harbinger of numerical stiffness, the algorithm is automatically switched to an A-stable method. A stiffness ratio is defined to measure the eigenvalue dispersion of the system. The adaptability of the proposed algorithm for the solution of a class of inelastic constitutive relations is illustrated by investigating the influence of high angle grain boundary orientations on failure in face-centered cubic (f.c.c.) bicrystals. The effects of grain boundary misorientation, dislocation densities, strain hardening, and geometrical softening on failure evolution are investigated. This study underscores the importance of understanding the origin of numerical instabilities, such that these instabilities are not mistaken for inherent material instabilities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100325,"journal":{"name":"Computing Systems in Engineering","volume":"6 3","pages":"Pages 225-240"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0956-0521(95)00024-T","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78701457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the last few years, massively parallel MIMD machines such as the Intel Touchstone Delta and recently the Intel Touchstone Paragon have become increasingly popular for speeding up finite element computations. Most of these applications use domain decomposition as a first step towards conquering the problem. Many different algorithms have been developed by researchers to achieve an effective domain decomposition. Some of these methods use connectivity information only, some use coordinate information only, while others use both of them together. Some algorithms are based on assigning weights to nodes using a particular strategy while others are recursive in nature. As will be discussed in this paper, the logic employed in various algorithms works perfectly well for certain meshes to be decomposed, in certain numbers of subdomains; while it gives far from perfect results for other meshes or for same meshes to be decomposed in a different number of subdomains. The logic used in the proposed algorithm has been developed in a creative way such that it is closer to a human's natural thinking when making decisions. Fairly large meshes can be decomposed in a matter of seconds on a Sun Sparc station by the proposed algorithm. Its execution time remains almost the same for any number of subdomains.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100325,"journal":{"name":"Computing Systems in Engineering","volume":"6 2","pages":"Pages 111-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0956-0521(95)00013-P","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74099826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
