Multibody analysis of controlled aeroelastic systems on parallel computers (Q1610829)

The authors present a parallel computation technique for studying multibody models of aeroelastic systems such as helicopter rotor blades. The objective is to solve a system of differential-algebraic equations using a substructuring domain decomposition method. The goal is the development of a computer code which will execute efficiently on a cluster of PCs. Applications to helicopter rotor blades and to tilrotor aircraft are envisioned.
