Microcomputer Adaptation of a Technical Manual

Abstract

The Tri-Service Manual "Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions", has recently been revised and published. The latest version of this technical manual contains updated information on a variety of explosion effects and structural response. The manual has been adopted for microcomputer usage by the Structural Mechanics Division, Structures Laboratory, US Army Waterways Experiment Station, in the form of a microcomputer program presented by this paper. This program allows the user to display the text of the manual on a microcomputer monitor, search for keywords and phrases, display the figures from the manual on a monitor, produce hard copies on a plotter, retrieve data points from curves, and perform a variety of response calculations.
