Computer-Aided Design of Suppressive Shields

Abstract

Engineering design procedures are being developed, safety approved, and organized into systematic procedures for application of suppressive structures in US Army ammunition plants. The approved procedures will include use of complex computer programs and charts in time consuming, iterant methods. A study has been conducted to determine computer software, hardware, and terminal requirements; and to estimate computer equipment and operation costs. The results of that study as reported herein indicate a considerable cost savings can be expected by use of computer-aided procedures in design of suppressive shields.
