PROGRESS IN PARALLEL PROCESSING IN FINITE ELEMENT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

在过去20年,由于并行计算机的出现,对结构工程应用的有限元算法研究已取得很大的进展．为了将串行机上运行的算法改成并行和研制适应于并行计算机的新方法,一直在进行大量的研究．本文论述了该领域一些已有的有限元并行算法,对适应结构工程的一些有限元并行算法进行概括．对该领域的未来发展趋势作了展望．

In the past two decades, the development of finite element algorithms for structural engineering applications has received a boost due to the advent of parallel computers. Considerable research has been done in order to rewrite algorithms originally designed to run on sequential machines as well as to develop new methods that take advantage of the parallelism offered by the multiprocessing computers. This paper discusses some of the parallel finite element algorithms that have been developed in this field. It is a survey of parallel finite element algorithms that are of interest to structural engineering. Some future research tendencies in this field are presented. Parallel processing is a rapidly evolving field and it is the focus of intensive research worldwide. Parallel processing will become an important and effective method in the future structural finite element computations .
