Proceedings of the NASTRAN (Tradename) Users' Colloquium (9th) Held in Florida on 22-23 October 1980

Abstract

NASTRAN (NASA STRuctural ANalysis) is a large, comprehensive, nonproprietary, general purpose finite element computer code for structural analysis which was developed under NASA sponsorship and became available to the public in late 1970. It can be obtained through COSMIC (Computer Software Management and Information Center), Athens, Georgia, and is widely used by NASA, other government agencies, and industry. Partial contents: Improvements In Sparse Matrix Operations of Nastran; Solution Sensitivity and Accuracy Study of NASTRAN for Large Dynamic Problems Involving Structural Damping; Ring Element Dynamic Stresses; An Enhancement of NASTRAN for the Seismic Analysis of Structures; Solution of Enforced Boundary Motion In Direct Transient and Harmonic Problems; NASTRAN Analysis of Heat-Transfer Fluid Fill Pipe Failures; A NASTRAN Investigation of Simulation Projectile Damage Effects on a UH-1B Tail Boom Model.
