Summary
This paper deals with the numerical determination of the stress and displacement distribution
in a solid body subjected to the applied external force. The tackled solid
mechanics problem is governed by the Navier-Cauchy equation that describes the deformation
within the solid body through the displacement vector field. To obtain the
solution, a coupled system of non-linear Partial Differential Equations (PDE) of second
order has to be solved. In this paper, the problem is approached by a strong
form Moving Least Squares (MLS) based numerical discretization also referred to as
a Meshless Local Strong Form Method (MLSM). A generic C++ implementation of
a MLSM is used for demonstration of parallel solution of a Point Contact problem
on Intel® Xeon Phi™ multicore accelerator. All tests are executed on either the host
machine with two Intel® Xeon® E5-2620 v3 6 core processors or offloaded to its
60 core Intel® Xeon Phi™ SE10/7120 series. The shared memory parallelization is
implemented through an OpenMP API.
