Abstract

This work presents computational strategies used in an im- plementation of the probabilistic discrete cracking model for concrete of Rossi suitable to parallel vector processor (PVP). The computational strategies used for each realization, within the framework of Monte Carlo simulation, are the inexact Newton method to solve the highly nonlinear problem and element-by-element (EBE) iterative strategies considering that nonlinear behavior is restricted to interface elements. The simulation of a direct tension test is used to illustrate the influence of adaptive inexact Newton strategy in code performance on a CRAY T90.
