Abstract
A fully parallel implementation of a nonlinear finite element
program and applications to structural mechanics
problems are presented using the preconditioned Lanczos
method as an iterative solver for the solution of the linear
systems of equations. First, the parallel concept as
well as the parallel solver including the preconditioning
strategy are briefly described. Then different examples
ranging from linear 3D continuum problems to ill conditioned
shell buckling problems are given and the results
are discussed.
