REG: A Computational Mechanics Laboratory

这是研究设备补助计划下的一项行动。它是为了帮助购买一个工作站网络：1)支持计算力学教育计划；2)支持地震工程、波散射、流固相互作用和优化设计等大规模问题的研究。该网络提供了解决实际大规模问题所需的计算速度和内存。地震工程项目的目标是对大、中、小尺度地震波引起的地面运动有一个真实的了解，三维沉积盆地，以期制定改进的结构设计建议。第二个项目涉及最优形状设计，并涉及非线性、耦合偏微分方程组的数值解；这些系统的优化需要多次分析迭代。第三个项目发展了一种新的声学刚性和弹性散射的变分子域积分方程法，弹性波和电磁波。我们的目标是将其应用于大规模问题。

This is an action under the Research Equipment Grants program. It is to assist in the purchase of a network of workstations to: 1) support the Computational Mechanics educational program; and 2) support research on large-scale problems in earthquake engineering, wave scattering, solid-fluid interaction, and optimal design. This network provides the computing speed and memory needed to solve realistic large-scale problems. The goal of the earthquake engineering project is to obtain a true understanding of seismic wave- induced ground motion of large, three-dimensional sedimentary basins, with a view toward developing improved structural design recommendations. The second project addresses optimal shape design, and involves the numerical solution of nonlinear, coupled partial differential equations; optimization of these systems entails multiple analysis iterations. The third project has developed a novel variational subdomain integral equation method for rigid and elastic scattering of acoustic, elastic and electromagnetic waves. The goal is to apply it to large-scale problems.
