Automated Structural Optimization System (ASTROS) Damage Tolerance Module. Volume 3. Interface Design Document
Abstract
This report is part of the documentation that describes the complete development of an SBIR Phase II effort titled, "An ASTROS Compatible Computational Strategy for Evaluating the Aeroelastic Response, Buckling, and Integrity of Composite A/C". This report is one of three manuals that comprise the final documentation. The remaining reports consist of a Final Report, Volume I, and a User's Manual, Volume II. The Automated STRuctural Optimization System (ASTROS) is a multidisciplinary computer program for the preliminary design of aircraft and spacecraft structures. It integrates structures, aerodynamics, controls and optimization to make possible interdisciplinary design. This report describes the user input necessary to exercise the damage tolerance module. In addition to standard ASTROS input data cards for the description of the preliminary design model, the user has to specify the following information to analyze discrete source damage: the master element, the layout and properties of the panel, the damage, and the analysis control parameters using bulk data cards. A detailed description of the bulk data cards introduced by the damage tolerance module is discussed and a brief summary with examples is also given.
