Fundamentals of High-Performance Computing for Finite Element Analysis

Kawai, Hiroshi; Ogino, Masao; Shioya, Ryuji; Yoshimura, Shinobu

Pages: 1 –21

[As introduction, high-performance computing (HPC) technology for finite element analysis is explained. First, general notions, tips and techniques which are useful for the programming on modern HPC and supercomputing environments are introduced. Here, as a supercomputer, the authors assume...

Simulation of Seismic Wave Propagation and Amplification

Hori, Muneo; Ichimura, Tsuyoshi; Fujita, Kohei

Pages: 23 –70

[Large scale simulation of ground motion is a vital tool in engineering seismology and earthquake engineering. Need for high performance computing cannot be underestimated, because increasing the spatial resolution results in computing higher frequency components of ground motion which influence...

Seismic Response Analysis of Infrastructure

Hori, Muneo; Ichimura, Tsuyoshi; Quninay, P. Errol; Wijerathne, M. Lalith L.

Pages: 71 –104

[Large scale simulation of structural seismic response is a key technology for the evaluation of seismic safety of a large infrastructure facility with complicated configuration. This is because highest spatial resolution is needed for such a structure, in order to examine the safety in detail....

Seismic Response Simulation of Building Structures

Ohsaki, Makoto; Miyamura, Tomoshi; Kohiyama, Masayuki; Yamashita, Takuzo; Akiba, Hiroshi

Pages: 105 –139

[In this chapter, we present an overview of the E-Simulator for application to seismic response analysis of building structures. Accuracy and computational performance of simulation using the E-Simulator are discussed through examples of seismic response analysis of a four-story steel frame,...

Seismic Response Simulation of Nuclear Power Plant

Yamada, Tomonori; Yoshimura, Shinobu

Pages: 141 –155

[Recent strong earthquakes attacking some Japanese nuclear power plants such as Niigataken-Chuetsu-Oki earthquake of 6.8 Mw on July 16, 2007 as well as the Great East Japan Earthquake of 9.0 Mw on March 11, 2011 recalled the importance of seismic design of nuclear power plants seriously. Here,...

Tsunami Run-Up Simulation

Murotani, Kohei; Koshizuka, Seiichi; Nagai, Eiichi; Fujisawa, Toshimitsu; Anju, Akira; Kanayama, Hiroshi; Tanaka, Satoshi; Hasegawa, Kyoko

Pages: 157 –177

[Ishinomaki city was severely damaged by the tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake on 2011. Our target is to simulate impact by the tsunami run-up with many floating objects on coastal areas and an urban area of Ishinomaki. Zoom-up analysis by three analyses stages is adopted to solve a...

Inundation Simulation Coupling Free Surface Flow and Structures

Mitsume, Naoto; Yoshimura, Shinobu; Murotani, Kohei; Yamada, Tomonori

Pages: 179 –199

[Water-related disasters such as tsunamis, storm surges, and floods involve fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems with free surface flow. Since failures of artifacts are caused due to inundation, water forces and impact forces by floating objects, simulation of such problems has great...
