Abstract: In this work, the convergence characteristics of the iterative group-implicit (IGI) algorithm, which is a parallel algorithm for the time integration of the equations of motion arising in structural dynamics problems, are ...

Abstract: Parallel and distributed computers have been shown to provide the necessary computational power to solve large-scale engineering problems. However, in order for this computation style to be effectively used, efficient ...

Abstract: Quantifying the ability of a digital design concept to perform a function currently requires the use of costly and intensive solutions such as computational fluid dynamics. To mitigate these challenges, the authors of this ...

Abstract: An important part of the engineering design process is prototyping, where designers build and test their designs. This process is typically iterative, time consuming, and manual in nature. For a given task, there are ...

Abstract: This study investigates the influence of titanium (Ti) and magnesium (Mg) additions on aluminum (Al) alloys in order to evaluate the relationship between the structure and properties of the new alloys. The alloys obtained ...
