A basic parallel sparse eigensolver for structural dynamics

Day, David M.

In this work the basic Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting (FETI) linear system solver and the PARPACK eigensolver are combined to compute the smallest modes of symmetric generalized eigenvalue problems that arise from structures modeled primarily by solid finite elements. Problems with over one million unknowns are solved. A comprehensive and relatively self-contained description of the FETI method is presented.
