Engineering Research Equipment: Parallel Workstations

9727783 Belytschko设备赠款使西北大学的研究人员能够使用比目前可能的更大的三维模型，从根本上改变了所解决问题的定性性质，并导致了新的突破。新设备还允许在以下领域进一步开发并行化工具：无网格方法、复杂结构和制造过程的多尺度方法、增强的摩擦学性能、岩土材料的力学、断裂和疲劳以及相变。***

9727783 Belytschko The equipment grant enables the researchers at Northwestern University to use much larger three-dimensional models than possible so far, fundamentally changing the qualitative nature of problems solved, and leading to new breakthroughs. The new equipment also allows to further exploit parallelization tools in areas includingmeshless methods, multiple scale methods for complex structures and manufacturing processes, enhanced tribological performance, mechanics of geomaterials, fracture and fatigue and phase tranformations. ***
