Title: STEALTH: a Lagrange explicit finite-difference code for solids, structural, and thermohydraulic analysis. Volume 5. STEALTH-SEISMIC code user's manual

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5951182

This applications manual describes special, streamlined versions of STEALTH which are applicable to earthquake-related, mechanical only calculations. These special versions, called the seismic versions, are subsets of general-purpose STEALTH and have been primarily developed for large-strain, nonlinear soil-structure interaction (SSI) calculations. The motivations for developing special versions of general-purpose STEALTH are economy and computer memory requirements as well as the need for providing additional features for computing SSI problems. The computational speed of the seismic versions is at least 20% faster than the speed of general-purpose STEALTH, and the central memory required for seismic STEALTH is 25% less.
