A parallel multigrid method for history-dependent elastoplasticity computations
A multigrid method is described for solving history-dependent elastoplastic solid mechanics problems using the finite element method. A multigrid algorithm that solves linear matrix equations is combined with the Newton-Raphson iteration procedure. The method is implemented on shared memory parallel computers by employing an element-by-element approach to computing matrix-vector products. Some two- and three- dimensional fracture mechanics problems are used to study the behavior of the algorithm.
