많은 절점 자유도로 표현이 되는 유연다물체 시스템의 효율적인 해석을 위해서는 병렬처리 기법이 적용될 수 있다. 이 분야에서의 병렬처리기법은 주로 선형대수방정식의 효율적인 해법에 초점이 맞추어 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방법과는 달리 병렬처리에 적합한 유연다물체 동역학 공식을 부분 시스템 합성방법을 이용하여 개발하고, OpenMP를 사용한 효율적인 병렬처리 방식을 제안하였다. 서로 다른 두 가지 병렬처리 방식을 3개의 동일한 유연체 회전 날개 시스템 시뮬레이션 통하여 비교하였다. 또한 실제의 CPU시간을 비교하여 제안한 병렬처리 방법의 효율성을 고찰하였다.
Flexible multibody simulations are widely used in the industry to design mechanical systems. In flexible multibody dynamics, deformation coordinates are described either relatively in the body reference frame that is floating in the space or in the inertial reference frame. Moreover, these deformation coordinates are generated based on the discretization of the body according to the finite element approach. Therefore, the formulation of the flexible multibody system always deals with a huge number of degrees of freedom and the numerical solution methods require a substantial amount of computational time. Parallel computational methods are a solution for efficient computation. However, most of the parallel computational methods are focused on the efficient solution of large-sized linear equations. For multibody analysis, we need to develop an efficient formulation that could be suitable for parallel computation. In this paper, we developed a subsystem synthesis method for a flexible multibody system and proposed efficient parallel computational schemes based on the OpenMP API in order to achieve efficient computation. Simulations of a rotating blade system, which consists of three identical blades, were carried out with two different parallel computational schemes. Actual CPU times were measured to investigate the efficiency of the proposed parallel schemes.
