High-performance computation of wave propagation through elastic and piezoelectric media using dolfin-hpc

The GENEX project aims to develop an innovative digital twin-driven framework to optimize aircraft composite manufacturing and maintenance processes while ensuring safety. This interdisciplinary project focuses on creating advanced physical and data-driven simulations to predict structural damage using SHM technology with piezoelectric transducers. The project seeks to develop HPC-scalable models for structural health prediction, addressing wave propagation through elastic and piezoelectric media. The research involves coupling elastodynamic and electrostatic problems, with a systematic review of computational piezoelectric media. High-performance computing (HPC) is utilized to perform dispersion relation preserving wave propagation simulations, implemented using the FEM in the open-source code dolfinhpc. This work was presented at the ECCOMASS conference, June 3-, 2024.
