Abstract

A parallel finite element method suitable for the analysis of 3D crystal plasticity problems on parallel computers using the PVM environment is presented. The method is based on a division of the original mesh into a number of substructures which are treated as isolated finite element models related via the interface conditions. The resulting interface equations are solved using a direct parallel solution method.
