Non-Linear Finite Element Method

 

This course describes, besides the physical and mathematical background of the finite element method, special discretization techniques and algorithms which have to be applied for nonlinear problems of solid mechanics.

The course will describe the theory and computer implementation of nonlinear finite element method. The implementation will be carried out on simple heat transfer and solid mechanics problems.

The focus is on geometric nonlinearities; however some material nonlinearity will also be discussed. Both static and transient (time-dependent) problems will be studied.

The main textbook of the course is the book “An Introduction to nonlinear finite element analysis” by J.N. Reddy. The book is suitable as a text book for a first course as nonlinear finite elements in mechanical, civil, aerospace engineering departments.

Unified Memory in CUDA 6

With CUDA 6, we’re introducing one of the most dramatic programming model improvements in the history of the CUDA platform, Unified Memory. In a typical PC or cluster node today, the memories of the CPU and GPU are physically distinct and separated by the PCI-Express bus. Before CUDA 6, that is exactly how the programmer has to view things. Data that is shared between the CPU and GPU must be allocated in both memories, and explicitly copied between them by the program. This adds a lot of complexity to CUDA programs.
