Supporting Finite Element Analysis with a Relational Database Backend, Part II: Database Design and Access
Gerd Heber, Jim Gray
This is Part II of a three article series on using databases for Finite Element Analysis (FEA). It discusses (1) db design, (2) data loading, (3) typical use cases during grid buil…
Supporting Finite Element Analysis with a Relational Database Backend, Part I: There is Life beyond Files
Gerd Heber, Jim Gray
In this paper, we show how to use a Relational Database Management System in support of Finite Element Analysis. We believe it is a new way of thinking about data management in wel…
Challenges in continuum modeling of intergranular fracture
Valerie R. Coffman, James P. Sethna, Gerd Heber +4
Intergranular fracture in polycrystals is often simulated by finite elements coupled to a cohesive-zone model for the interfaces, requiring cohesive laws for grain boundaries as a…
Scientific Data Management in the Coming Decade
Jim Gray, David T. Liu, Maria Nieto-Santisteban +3
This is a thought piece on data-intensive science requirements for databases and science centers. It argues that peta-scale datasets will be housed by science centers that provide…
There Goes the Neighborhood: Relational Algebra for Spatial Data Search
Jim Gray, Alexander S. Szalay, Aniruddha R. Thakar +5
We explored ways of doing spatial search within a relational database: (1) hierarchical triangular mesh (a tessellation of the sphere), (2) a zoned bucketing system, and (3) repres…
