Learn about Bounce, an HPC-scale elastodynamic solver developed for ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation (NDE) applications, presented as a 20-minute conference talk at the MFEM Workshop 2025. Discover how this explicit elastodynamic solver leverages the MFEM (Modular Finite Element Methods) library to simulate ultrasonic inspection processes for industrial components in aerospace and energy sectors. Explore the solver's capabilities in handling large-scale simulations with up to 1 billion elements on meter-scale models, utilizing MPI integration for high-performance computing deployment. Understand the implementation of anisotropic elastic properties for modeling high-performance materials including composites and titanium, and examine complex forcing profiles used to study ultrasonic wave interactions with arbitrary embedded flaws. Gain insights into how this computational approach addresses the challenge of generating high-fidelity data for qualifying inspection methods when real flaws are rare, supporting the increasing demand for data-intensive processing methods such as machine learning in non-destructive testing applications.
