Abstract
A technique consisting of implicit subdomain integration, accompanied by
finite element partitioning, is studied for the solution of the dynamic
responses of large-scale structural systems. Finite element partitioning
is used to divide the finite element mesh into smaller subdomains,
Numerical integration methods, such as Newton integration and Jacobi
integration are employed as integrators applied to the different
subdomains. The response of the complete system is obtained through
iterations. Subdomain integration is believed to be effective for
large-scale problems and well-suited for parallel computers. It is a
combination of various integration methods, and the generation ana
analysis of any formulation can be carried out using the technique of
splitting.
