SLAMCODE: Finite Element Stress Wave Analysis

Abstract

The program SLAMCODE is a large Finite Element Method (FEM) code capable of dynamic analysis of transient problems. It was adapted from the original SLAMCODE written by C. J. Costantino (Costantino, 1968) by incorporating the implicit Newmark B-integration (Newmark, 1959) and by constraining the free surface to be stress free. The present code also differs from the original by not permitting plastic elements. It calculates solutions for axisymmetric, plane stress or plane strain problems, as in the original code. It is designed to run on the IBM 360 family of computers under 0S/360. Although it is written in Fortran, it can be easily adapted to other computer systems. Computer program listings are included.
