Summary on Grant Application Form |
The main objective of this project is to develop multigrid strategies coupled with adaptive techniques on arbitary unstructured meshes arising in the FE simulation of large scale 3-D nonlinear solid mechanics problems. Particular attention will be paid to the class of higly ill-conditioned problems typical for metal forming processes, where both geometrical and material non-linearities are present, together with complex contact and friction boundary conditions, and where the adaptive evolution of FE meshes, necessitated by gross geometry changes, represents a natural computational environment. Appraisal of the efficiency and robustness of multigrid solutions on a range of industrially relevant problems containing in excess of 100,000 d.o.f will be performed.
