Abstract

This contribution deals with numerical upscaling of the elastic material behaviour, namely of geocomposites, from microscale to macroscale through finite element analysis. This computationally demanding task raises many algorithmic and implementation issues related to efficient parallel processing. On the solution of the arising boundary value problem, considered with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, we discuss various parallelization strategies, and compare their implementations in the specialized in-house finite element package GEM and through the general numerical solution framework Trilinos.
