Abstract
This paper presents a discussion of the use of supercomputers to solve large non-linear structural analysis problems.
To demonstrate this capability an example of the impact of a steel missile against a reinforced concrete member is considered. This event is modelled using the DYNA3D finite element impact code. The analysis includes non-linear material properties together with appropriate material failure criteria. The results are presented as a series of plots of the progressively deforming shape. The paper is based upon experience gained by Boeing Computer Services using their Cray 1-S and Cray X-MP supercomputer since 1980. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
