Proceedings of the NASTRAN (Tradename) Users' Colloquium (16th) Held in Arlington, Virginia on 25-29 April 1988

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. Partial Contents: On Bulk Data Cards Processing; Experiences with a NASTRAN Trainer; Design of Feats, A Finite Element Applications Training System; Experiences with the QUAD4 Element for Shell Vibrations; Coupled Mass for Prismatical Bars; Effect of Element Size on the Solution Accuracies of Finite-Element Heat Transfer and Thermal Stress Analyses of Space Shuttle Orbiter; Stress and Vibration Analysis of Radial Gas Turbine Components; Treatment of Static Preload Effects in Acoustic Radiation and Scattering.
