In this paper, we propose an iterative method for a symmetric interior penalty Galerkin method for heterogeneous elliptic problems. The iterative method consists mainly of two parts based on a non-overlapping domain decomposition approach. One is an intermediate preconditioner constructed by understanding the properties of the discontinuous finite element functions and the other is a preconditioning related to the dual-primal finite element tearing and interconnecting (FETI-DP) methodology. Numerical results for the proposed method are presented, which demonstrate the performance of the iterative method in terms of various parameters associated with the elliptic model problem, the finite element discretization, and non-overlapping subdomain decomposition.

Because of prohibitive data storage requirements in large-scale simulations, the memory problem is an obstacle for Monte Carlo (MC) codes in accomplishing pin-wise three-dimensional (3D) full-core calculations, particularly for whole-core depletion analyses. Various kinds of data are evaluated and quantificational total memory requirements are analyzed based on the Reactor Monte Carlo (RMC) code, showing that tally data, material data, and isotope densities in depletion are three major parts of memory storage. The domain decomposition method is investigated as a means of saving memory, by dividing spatial geometry into domains that are simulated separately by parallel processors. For the validity of particle tracking during transport simulations, particles need to be communicated between domains. In consideration of efficiency, an asynchronous particle communication algorithm is designed and implemented. Furthermore, we couple the domain decomposition method with MC burnup process, under a strategy of utilizing consistent domain partition in both transport and depletion modules. A numerical test of 3D full-core burnup calculations is carried out, indicating that the RMC code, with the domain decomposition method, is capable of pin-wise full-core burnup calculations with millions of depletion regions.

This paper deals with BEM analysis of transient elastodynamic problems using domain decomposition method and particular integrals. The particular method is used to approximate the acceleration term in the governing equation. The domain decomposition method is examined to consider multi-region problems. The domain of the original problem is subdivided into sub-regions, which are modeled by the particular integral BEM. The iterative coupling employing Schwarz algorithm is used for the successive update of the interface boundary conditions until convergence is achieved. The numerical results, compared with those by ABAQUS, demonstrate the validity of the present formulation.

The rigid-plastic finite element analysis requires a large amount of computation time due to its non-linearity. For economic computation, mismatching refinement, and efficient domain decomposition method with different mesh density for each sub domain, is developed. A modified velocity alternating scheme for the interface treatment is proposed in order to obtain good convergence and accuracy. As a numerical example, the axisymmetric extrusion process is analyzed. The results are discussed for the various velocity update schemes form the viewpoint of convergence and accuracy. The three-dimen-sional extrusion process with rectangular section is analyzed in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Comparing the results with those of the conventional method of full region analysis, the accuracy and the computational efficiency of the proposed method are then discussed.

A domain/boundary decomposition technique is applied to carry out efficient finite element analyses of 3-D contact problems. Appropriate penalty functions are selected for connecting an interface and contact interfaces with neighboring subdomains that satisfy continuity constraints. As a consequence, all the effective stiffness matrices have positive definiteness, and computational efficiency can be improved to a considerable degree. If necessary, any complex-shaped 3-D domain can be divided into several simple-shaped subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes along the interface. With a set of numerical examples, the basic characteristics of computational efficiency are investigated carefully.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. In this paper, we characterize the prime submodules of a free R-module F of finite rank with at most n generators, when R is a GCD domain. Also, we show that if R is a Bézout domain, then every prime submodule with n generators is the row space of a prime matrix. Finally, we study the existence of primary decomposition of a submodule of F over a Bézout domain and characterize the minimal primary decomposition of this submodule.

본 연구에서는 SPH 해석을 위한 다면체영역분할 기법이 소개된다. SPH 기법은 유체 유동 모사를 위한 수치해석기법으로 무요소기법(meshless method) 중 하나이다. 유동성 지반 또는 고체-유체 상호작용 해석 등에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다. SPH는 입자기반 해석이기 때문에 입자가 많을수록 결과의 정확도는 높아지지만 수치적 효율성은 떨어진다. 일반적으로 해석의 효율성을 높이기 위해 병렬 프로세싱 알고리즘과 함께 쓰이는데 직교좌표계 기반의 영역분할 기법이 대표적이다. 그러나 복잡한 기하학적 형태나 동적 경계조건에서 유동 모사 등을 병렬 해석하기 위해서는 직교좌표계 영역분할 방법이 적합하지 않다. 소개하는 다면체영역분할 기법은 이와 같은 문제에서 병렬효율성을 높일 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 다양한 형태의 3차원 다면체 요소로 분할하여 문제에 적합하게 모델링할 수 있다. SPH 입자들의 물리적 값들은 smoothing 길이 이내의 주위 입자들 정보를 이용하여 계산된다. 영역분할 시 물리적으로 분리될 수 있는 입자정보들을 코어간 공유할 수 있는 방법과 병렬효율성이 떨어질 수 있는 cross-point에서의 정보공유 방법이 소개된다. 수치해석 예제를 통하여 제안된 방법의 병렬효율성은 12코어까지 95%에 근접하였다. 이후 코어가 증가할수록 코어간 공유되는 정보량이 많아져 병렬효율성이 떨어지는 문제가 발생되기도 하였다.

재료 비선형성을 갖는 열탄점소성 손상 문제와 경계 비선형성을 갖는 접촉 문제의 효율적인 해석을 위하여 열탄성 부영역, 열탄점소성/손상 부영역, 공유면, 접촉 공유면에 기반을 둔 영역/경계 분할법을 제안하였다. 대변형과 같은 지하학적 비선형성은 고려하지 않았으며, 영역 및 경계 분할에 관련된 공유면 및 접촉 공유면에서의 연속 구속 조건을 처리하기 위하여 간단한 벌칙 함수 기법을 적용하였다. 결과적으로 재료 및 경계 비선형성은 소수의 부영역과 접촉 경계면에서 계산되는 유한요소 행렬들에 국한된다. 따라서 적절한 해석 알고리듬을 구성하면 대폭적인 효율성 향상이 가능하게 된다. 간단한 수치 실험을 통해서 열탄점소성 손상 및 접촉 해석의 효율성에 관련된 기본적인 특성을 분석하였다.

A large-scale analysis to evaluate complex material and structural behaviors is one of interesting topic in diverse engineering and scientific fields. Also, the utilization of massively parallel processors has been a recent trend of high performance computing. The objective of this paper is to introduce a parallel process system which consists of general purpose finite element analysis solver as well as parallelized PC cluster. The later was constructed using eight processing elements and the former was developed adopting both hierarchical domain decomposition method and balancing domain decomposition method. Then, to verify the efficiency of the established system, it was applied for structural analysis of steam generator in nuclear power plant. Since the prototypal evaluation results agreed well to the corresponding reference solutions it is believed that, after reinforcement of PC cluster by increasing number of processing elements, the promising parallel process system can be utilized as a useful tool for advanced structural integrity evaluation.

A fast Poisson solver on irregular domains, based on bound-ary methods, is presented.
