Title
Computational efficiency and accuracy of sequential nonlinear cyclic analysis of carbon nanotube nanocomposites.
Abstract
•A novel variant of the Newton-Raphson method within a time integration scheme tailored for nonlinear 3D mesoscale mechanical model of CNT nanocomposite.•An optimized numerical solution scheme suitable for damping material optimizations via Differential Evolution, usually requiring thousands of cyclic analyses.•Efficiency, while retaining numerical accuracy, obtained by a unique iteration (elastic stiness) matrix.•Both serial and parallel computations numerically tested to assess performance.•Performance further improved by a caching mechanism coupled with parallel execution of numerical simulations.
