Abstract EN
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 of a large structure by means of FEM/DEM may lead to prohibitive computation times, a parallelization strategy is required.
With the substantial development of computer science, a GPU-based parallel procedure is implemented.
A comparative study between the GPU and CPU computation results is presented, and the runtimes and speedups are analyzed.
The results show that dramatic performance improvements are gained from GPU parallelization.
