Proceedings of the NASTRAN (Tradename) Users' Colloquium (8th) Held in Greenbelt, Maryland on 30-31 October 1979
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. The Eighth 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 auxilliary programs, and new methods of analysis with NASTRAN. Partial Contents: Development of the Learjet 28/29 Wing Using NASTRAN Analysis; Tensioning of a Belt Around a Drum Using Membrane Elements; Thermal Stress Analysis of Symmetric Shells Subjected to Asymmetric Thermal Loads; Stress Concentrations in Screw Threads; Implementations of a Trapezoidal Ring Element in Nastran for Elastic-Plastic Analysis; Normal Mode Analysis of the IUS/TDRS Payload in a Payload Canister/Transporter Environment; Applications of NASTRAN in Gust Response Analysis at NORTHROP; Implementation of NASTRAN on the IBM/370 CMS Operating System.
