FEM and BEM parallel processing: theory and applications - a bibliography (1996-2002)

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite element and boundary element parallel processing techniques from the theoretical and application points of view. Topics include: theory - domain decomposition/partitioning, load balancing, parallel solvers/algorithms, parallel mesh generation, adaptive methods, and visualization/graphics; applications - structural mechanics problems, dynamic problems, material/geometrical non-linear problems, contact problems, fracture mechanics, field problems, coupled problems, sensitivity and optimization, and other problems; hardware and software environments - hardware environments, programming techniques, and software development and presentations. The bibliography at the end of this paper contains 850 references to Papers, conference proceedings and theses/dissertations dealing with presented subjects that were published between 1996 and 2002.
