A modal combination computer program for dynamic analysis of structures

Computer program determines the response of a composite linear structure to sinusoidal base motion of a restrained structure or sinusoidal forces of a free structure. This program is applied to problems of testing practices and closed-loop stability of autopilot controlled space vehicles. It is written for the IBM 7094 in FORTRAN 4 language.

Computer program generates averaged value data tapes

Computer program generates a magnetic output tape containing time and averaged data values of a specified number of major frames over a specified time interval. A decommutation system is used to acquire the raw data, which is then reformatted and averaged.

Computer program performs rectangular fitting stress analysis

Computer program simulates specific bulkhead fittings by subjecting the desired geometry configuration to a membrane force, an external force, an external moment, an external tank pressure, or any combination of the above. This program generates a general model of bulkhead fittings for the Saturn booster.

Computer program performs stiffness matrix structural analysis

Computer program generates the stiffness matrix for a particular type of structure from geometrical data, and performs static and normal mode analyses. It requires the structure to be modeled as a stable framework of uniform, weightless members, and joints at which loads are applied and weights are lumped.

Lander Trajectory Reconstruction computer program

The Lander Trajectory Reconstruction (LTR) computer program is a tool for analysis of the planetary entry trajectory and atmosphere reconstruction process for a lander or probe. The program can be divided into two parts: (1) the data generator and (2) the reconstructor. The data generator provides the real environment in which the lander or probe is presumed to find itself. The reconstructor reconstructs the entry trajectory and atmosphere using sensor data generated by the data generator and a Kalman-Schmidt consider filter. A wide variety of vehicle and environmental parameters may be either solved-for or considered in the filter process.
