Preliminary study on the finite element analysis for solid mechanics on K computer

Yamada, Tomonori

The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has been developing the next-generation supercomputer, which has capability of ten peta floating point operations per second, and will install it at Kobe city. As an application of macro-scale solid mechanics, Japan Atomic Energy Agency and his colleagues proposed a research activity on K entitled "next generation seismic analysis of large plants in its entirety" in Monodukuri field. In this paper, a preliminary study on the finite element analysis for solid mechanics on K is described.
