AUTOMATED STRUCTURAL DESIGN CAPABILITIES,
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to show what can be done with a fully-automated design procedure; to compare the economics of automated design with conventional cut-and-try procedures; to describe briefly how automated design (structural synthesis) is accomplished; and to present a plan for continued effort in the field of structural synthesis. The first portion of the document describes the results of the existing structural synthesis program as applied to the classic example of a plate containing a hole, subjected to uniaxial loading. An economic comparison is made between the synthesized plate and a cut-and-try study of various hole reinforcement patterns. The second section described qualitatively the methods used in the synthesis program, together with recommended changes and additions. A discussion of the method's applicability to other problems not necessarily related to stress analysis is also presented. (Author)
