TAHOE Ver 1.0
Tahoe is a research-oriented platform for the development of numerical methods and material models. The goal of the work surrounding Tahoe is the simulation of stresses and deformations for situations that cannot be treated by standard continuum simulation techniques. These situations include material fracture or failure, interfacial adhesion and debonding, shear banding, length-scale dependent eleasticity and plasticity, and deformation in small-scale structures. Aside from a collection of standard finite elements. Tahoe includes a number of "cohesive" approaches for modeling fracture. These incude both surface and bulk constitutive models that incorporate cohesive behavior. Tahoe is capable of performing static and transient dynamic coupled-physics analysis in two and three dimensions. Tahoe is parallelized since even research class problems in corporating material microstructure-based models require considerable computational power, especially in treating three-dimensional geometries.
