1. 1. Development of a Parallel Finite-element Tool for Dynamic Soil-structure Interaction : A Preliminary Case Study on the Dynamic Stiffness of a Vertical Pile

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Mårten Ullberg; [2012]
   Keywords : dynamic stiffness and damping; finite-element analysis; steady-state analysis; parallel calculations; PETSc; piles; pile-groups;

   Abstract : This thesis has two major goals; first to develop scalable scripts for steady-state analysis, then to perform a case study on the dynamic properties of a vertical pile. The scripts are based on the numerical library PETSc for parallel linear algebra. This opens up the opportunity to use the scripts to solve large-scale models on supercomputers. READ MORE
