NASTRAN User's Colloquium (12th), Held in Orlando, FLorida on May 7-11, 1984

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. The Twelfth Colloquium provides some comprehensive general papers on the application of finite element methods in engineering, comparisons with other approaches, unique applications, pre- and post-processing or auxiliary programs, and new methods of analysis with NASTRAN. Partial Contents: The Design and Usage of the New Data Management Features In NASTRAN; Accuracy of Three Dimensional Solid Finite Elements; Design Spectrum Analysis In NASTRAN; Seismic Analysis Capability In NASTRAN; Structural Analysis of the Support System for a Large Compressor Driven by a Synchronous Electric Motor; Finite Element Prediction of Acoustic Scattering and Radiation from Submerged Elastic Structures.
