Extensions to the STAGS Computer Code.

MELLER,E. ;Petersen,H. T. ;Stern,P. ;F33615-69-C-1523AF-1467AFFDLTR-73-14(*shells(structural forms), buckling), (*computer programming, instruction manuals), (*airframes, structural properties), cylindrical bodies, loads(forces), airplane panels, stresses, matrices(mathematics), elastic properties, stiffened cylindersfinite element analysis, structural analysisSome modifications are reported of a computer code STAGS for structural analysis of general shells. To make the code easier to use, many improvements have been introduced in the input and output procedures. A capability to include finite elements has been introduced in the program; however, only bar elements and membrane plate elements have been included thus far. The code is considered to be a pilot program which can be used in a study of the advantages with the use of such a hybrid code. It should also serve the purpose of defining difficulties that can be encountered in future development of such codes. (Author)
