A GPU-Based Parallel Procedure for Nonlinear Analysis of Complex Structures Using a Coupled FEM/DEM Approach

This study reports the GPU parallelization of complex three-dimensional software for nonlinear analysis of concrete structures. It focuses on coupled thermomechanical analysis of complex structures. A coupled FEM/DEM approach (CDEM) is given from a fundamental theoretical viewpoint. As the modeling...
