MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR TRANSIENT SHOCK ANALYSIS

Abstract

The paper describes a computer program and a mathematical model for computing shock and residual shock spectra of linear elastic structures responding to transient forces and foundation motions. A wide range of output options, from tabulated results to a four-coordinate log-log grid, is possible. Included in the mathematical analysis of the shock spectra is a refinement in determining maximum responses resulting in a more accurate shock spectrum. The program is written in FORTRAN IV for the IBM 7090 and includes plotting subroutines for the General Dynamics S-C 4020 printer-plotter. The program is also coded without the S-C 4020 subroutines.
