In this thesis project, an originally very simple Finite Element Method (FEM) code written in Python is accelerated using well-known techniques: sparse format for matrices and vectorization of operations. The estimate of the transverse elastic modulus of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite is used as a real-world testing situation for the FEM package called feat [9].

Abstract

In this thesis project, an originally very simple Finite Element Method (FEM) code written in Python is accelerated using well-known techniques: sparse format for matrices and vectorization of operations. The estimate of the transverse elastic modulus of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite is used as a real-world testing situation for the FEM package called feat [9]. For this purpose, a simple Representative Volume Element (RVE) analysis is created.
