✦ Synopsis

In this paper an application of the additive multilevel iteration method to parallel solving of large-scale linear elasticity problems is considered. The results are derived in the framework of the hierarchical basis finite element discretization defined on a tensor product

xy ⊗ Tz of one-dimensional grid Tz and a sequence of nested triangulations T (i) xy . The algorithm was tested on a number of model problems, arising from bridge foundation modeling. Parallel performance of the solver is reported for Cray T3E-600 and Sun ES/4000 computer systems.

The discretized linear elasticity problem is solved by the preconditioned conjugate gradient (pcg) method. Mainly we consider the linear isotropic case but we also comment on the more general linear orthotropic problem. The preconditioner is based on the separate displacement component (sdc) part of

Finite element models of linear elasticity arise in many application areas of structural analysis. Solving the resulting system of equations accounts for a large portion of the total cost for large, three-dimensional models, for which direct methods can be prohibitively expensive. Preconditioned Con
