Over the years, USNCCM has undeniably become an event of reference in the field of Computational Science and Engineering (CS&E), with participants from academia, government and industry. The congress, which will be held for the first time outside of the US, has selected for its venue the City of Montreal. Excellent choice indeed, as Montreal is a bustling city with many cultural events and summer festivals. In addition to the quality of its universities, Montreal is such an attractive city that it has been recognized in 2017 as the World’s best destination for students. As innovation is increasingly synonymous with competitiveness, growth, and prosperity, it is not surprising that government and industry stakeholders in Canada rely more and more on its research institutions, such as Polytechnique Montréal, to ensure the continuing growth of its knowledge-based economy. Since the digital revolution of the 70s, innovation has greatly benefited from simulation-based engineering and sciences to the point that this field has now permeated every possible industrial sector. Whether it be the development and optimization of chemical processes for the biorefining industry, the large-scale production of nanomedicines for the pharmaceutical industry, the optimization of aircraft designs for the aerospace sector, or the design of effective and minimally-invasive surgeries, CS&E has become an indispensable component of R&D activities in such key sectors of our modern economies. It is also an asset for the development of technologies based on clean and sustainable sources of energy. CS&E may help provide a clear and decisive edge to all industries. For instance, those that increasingly rely on virtual prototyping and process simulation to improve the quality of their processes and products, and simultaneously reduce their costs, will increase their chances of maintaining or boosting their competitiveness in the global market. As a leading school of engineering in Canada, Polytechnique Montréal, with the collaboration of other universities from Quebec, Ontario and Northeast US, is extremely proud to host the 14th edition of the USNCCM. I wish you a great congress and a wonderful experience in Montreal. Kind regards, François Bertrand Eng., Ph.D. Chief Research, Innovation & International Officer 1 We are pleased to welcome you to USNCCM14, the 14th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics, the biennial congress of the U.S. Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM), which is held this year at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal, July 17-20, 2017. From their inception in 1991, the biennial congresses of USACM have become major scientific events, drawing computational engineers and scientists from government, academia, and industry. The congress provides an excellent forum for researchers and practitioners from all over the world to discuss the latest advancements and future directions in fields pertaining to Computational Engineering and Sciences. The 14th edition will indeed continue the tradition, as the technical program of USNCCM14 features four plenary and six semi-plenary lectures by renown scholars, over eighty mini-symposia, two student poster competitions sponsored by AHPCRC and the Journal of Computers and Mathematics with Applications, and several short courses on various topics in Computational Engineering and Sciences. Social activities include a welcome and a closing reception on the terrace of the Palais des Congrès, a congress banquet, during which the winners of the student poster competitions will Palais des Congrès de Montréal be awarded the prizes and that will be followed by the viewing of the Pyro Rhapsody fireworks of the Festival de l’International des Feux. We also hope you will find time to enjoy the cultural diversity and discover the joie de vivre of Montreal and its surroundings. 2017 is also a special year in Montréal, as the city celebrates its 375th anniversary with activities and events commemorating its history.

  • Scalable Large-Scale Fluid-Structure Interaction Solvers in the Uintah Framework Via Hybrid Task-Based Parallelism Algorithms
    1 Scalable Large-scale Fluid-structure Interaction Solvers in the Uintah Framework via Hybrid Task-based Parallelism Algorithms Qingyu Meng, Martin Berzins UUSCI-2012-004 Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute University of Utah Salt Lake City, UT 84112 USA May 7, 2012 Abstract: Uintah is a software framework that provides an environment for solving fluid-structure interaction problems on structured adaptive grids on large-scale science and engineering problems involving the solution of partial differential equations. Uintah uses a combination of fluid-flow solvers and particle-based methods for solids, together with adaptive meshing and a novel asynchronous task-based approach with fully automated load balancing. When applying Uintah to fluid-structure interaction problems with mesh refinement, the combination of adaptive meshing and the move- ment of structures through space present a formidable challenge in terms of achieving scalability on large-scale parallel computers. With core counts per socket continuing to grow along with the prospect of less memory per core, adopting a model that uses MPI to communicate between nodes and a shared memory model on-node is one approach to achieve scalability at full machine capacity on current and emerging large-scale systems. For this approach to be successful, it is necessary to design data-structures that large numbers of cores can simultaneously access without contention. These data structures and algorithms must also be designed to avoid the overhead involved with locks and other synchronization primitives when running on large number of cores per node, as contention for acquiring locks quickly becomes untenable. This scalability challenge is addressed here for Uintah, by the development of new hybrid runtime and scheduling algorithms combined with novel lockfree data structures, making it possible for Uintah to achieve excellent scalability for a challenging fluid-structure problem with mesh refinement on as many as 260K cores.

  • The Material-Point Method for Granular Materials
    Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg. 187 (2000) 529±541 www.elsevier.com/locate/cma The material-point method for granular materials S.G. Bardenhagen a, J.U. Brackbill b,*, D. Sulsky c a ESA-EA, MS P946 Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545, USA b T-3, MS B216 Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545, USA c Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of New Mexico, Albuquerqe, NM 87131, USA Abstract A model for granular materials is presented that describes both the internal deformation of each granule and the interactions between grains. The model, which is based on the FLIP-material point, particle-in-cell method, solves continuum constitutive models for each grain. Interactions between grains are calculated with a contact algorithm that forbids interpenetration, but allows separation and sliding and rolling with friction. The particle-in-cell method eliminates the need for a separate contact detection step. The use of a common rest frame in the contact model yields a linear scaling of the computational cost with the number of grains. The properties of the model are illustrated by numerical solutions of sliding and rolling contacts, and for granular materials by a shear calculation. The results of numerical calculations demonstrate that contacts are modeled accurately for smooth granules whose shape is resolved by the computation mesh. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.

  • Peridynamics Review
    Peridynamics Review Ali Javilia,∗, Rico Morasataa, Erkan Oterkusb, Selda Oterkusb aDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Bilkent University, 06800 Ankara, Turkey bDepartment of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom Abstract Peridynamics (PD) is a novel continuum mechanics theory established by Stewart Silling in 2000 [1]. The roots of PD can be traced back to the early works of Gabrio Piola according to dell'Isola et al. [2]. PD has been attractive to researchers as it is a nonlocal formulation in an integral form; unlike the local differential form of classical continuum mechanics. Although the method is still in its infancy, the literature on PD is fairly rich and extensive. The prolific growth in PD applications has led to a tremendous number of contributions in various disciplines. This manuscript aims to provide a concise description of the peridynamic theory together with a review of its major applications and related studies in different fields to date. Moreover, we succinctly highlight some lines of research that are yet to be investigated. Keywords: Peridynamics, Continuum mechanics, Fracture, Damage, Nonlocal elasticity 1. Introduction The analysis of material behavior due to various types of loading and boundary conditions may be carried out at different length scales. At the nanoscale, often Molecular Dynamics (MD) is used to analyze the behavior of atoms and molecules. However, simulation time, integration algorithms and the required computational power are limiting factors to the method’s capabilities. On the other hand, at the macroscale, the behavior of a body is usually analyzed using the Classical Continuum Mechanics (CCM) formalism.

  • Discretized Bond-Based Peridynamics for Solid Mechanics
    DISCRETIZED BOND-BASED PERIDYNAMICS FOR SOLID MECHANICS By Wenyang Liu A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Civil Engineering 2012 ABSTRACT DISCRETIZED BOND-BASED PERIDYNAMICS FOR SOLID MECHANICS By Wenyang Liu The numerical analysis of spontaneously formed discontinuities such as cracks is a long- standing challenge in the engineering field. Approaches based on the mathematical frame- work of classical continuum mechanics fail to be directly applicable to describe discontinuities since the theory is formulated in partial differential equations, and a unique spatial deriva- tive, however, does not exist on the singularities. Peridynamics is a reformulated theory of continuum mechanics. The partial differential equations that appear in the classical contin- uum mechanics are replaced with integral equations. A spatial range, which is called the horizon δ, is associated with material points, and the interaction between two material points within a horizon is formed in terms of the bond force. Since material points separated by a finite distance in the reference configuration can interact with each other, the peridynamic theory is categorized as a nonlocal method. The primary focus in this research is the development of the discretized bond-based peridynamics for solid mechanics. A connection between the classical elasticity and the dis- cretized peridynamics is established in terms of peridynamic stress. Numerical micromoduli for one- and three-dimensional models are derived. The elastic responses of one- and three- dimensional peridynamic models are examined, and the boundary effect associated with the size of the horizon is discussed. A pairwise compensation scheme is introduced in this re- search for simulations of an elastic body of Poisson ratio not equal to 1/4.

  • Mathematical and Numerical Analysis for Linear Peridynamic Boundary Value Problems
    Mathematical and Numerical Analysis for Linear Peridynamic Boundary Value Problems by Hao Wu A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2017 Keywords: peridynamics, nonlocal boundary value problems, finite-dimensional approximations, error estimates, exponential convergence. Copyright 2017 by Hao Wu Approved by Yanzhao Cao, Chair, Professor of Department of Mathematics and Statistics Junshan Lin, Asistant Professor of Department of Mathematics and Statistics Ulrich Albrecht, Professor of Department of Mathematics and Statistics Wenxian Shen, Professor of Department of Mathematics and Statistics Abstract Peridynamics is motivated in aid of modeling the problems from continuum mechanics which involve the spontaneous discontinuity forms in the motion of a material system. By replacing differentiation with integration, peridynamic equations remain equally valid both on and off the points where a discontinuity in either displacement or its spatial derivatives is located. A functional analytical framework was established in literature to study the linear bond- based peridynamic equations associated with a particular kind of nonlocal boundary condi- tion. Investigated were the finite-dimensional approximations to the solutions of the equa- tions obtained by spectral method and finite element method; as a result, two corresponding general formulas of error estimates were derived. However, according to these formulas, one can only conclude that the optimal convergence is algebraic. Based on this theoretical framework, first we show that analytic data functions produce analytic solutions. Afterwards, we prove these finite-dimensional approximations will achieve exponential convergence under the analyticity assumption of data. At the end, we validate our results by conducting a few numerical experiments.

Therefore, a lot of effort is now being put in order to develop various active solutions for vibration control, where the development of actuators is one part. Active hydraulic engine mounts have shown to be a promising actuator for vibration isolation with the benefits of the commonly used passive hydraulic engine mounts in addition to the active ones.
