Finite Element Analysis of the ADP/Communications Shelter

Abstract

The Navy NASTRAN Systems Office at the David W. Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center assisted the Naval Surface Weapons Center, Dahlgren Laboratory, in the structural analysis of the ADP/Communications portable computer shelter. The original and reinforced shelters were modeled with finite elements and the analysis was carried out using the computer program NASTRAN. The results of the analysis showed that the average stress in the floor of the shelter decreased 20% after the shelter had been reinforced. (Author)
