Auroral oval kinematics program

A computer program which determines the geographic location of the auroral oval for given universal time and level of geomagnetic activity was developed for use on the IBM 7094 computer. The program provides both printed output of geographic coordinates of auroral oval boundaries and polar plots of the auroral oval. In addition, there is available a time-integration option which indicates how long a given location is under the auroral oval during a specified period. A description is given of the program and its use.

Viscel: A general purpose computer program for analysis of linear viscoelastic structures, volume 2

The VISCEL program is a general purpose computer program developed for equilibrium analysis of linear viscoelastic structures. The program is written in FORTRAN 5 language to operate on the Univac 1108 computer under the EXEC 8 operating system. The program, an extension of the linear equilibrium problem solver ELAS, is an updated and extended version of its earlier form written for the IBM 7094 computer. Finite element matrix displacement approach coupled with the synchronized material property concept, utilizing incremental time steps, was adopted for the solution presented. The step-by-step procedure involves solution of recursive equations in the time domain, which takes into account the memory of material properties. Incremental and accumulative displacements and stresses are obtained at the end of each time step. In order to minimize the extent of computations resulting from accumulative effects of material memory, the program provides an option which enables the employment of constant time steps in the logarithmic scale. Program documentation is presented.

VISCEL: A general-purpose computer program for analysis of linear viscoelastic structures (user's manual), volume 1

This program, an extension of the linear equilibrium problem solver ELAS, is an updated and extended version of its earlier form (written in FORTRAN 2 for the IBM 7094 computer). A synchronized material property concept utilizing incremental time steps and the finite element matrix displacement approach has been adopted for the current analysis. A special option enables employment of constant time steps in the logarithmic scale, thereby reducing computational efforts resulting from accumulative material memory effects. A wide variety of structures with elastic or viscoelastic material properties can be analyzed by VISCEL. The program is written in FORTRAN 5 language for the Univac 1108 computer operating under the EXEC 8 system. Dynamic storage allocation is automatically effected by the program, and the user may request up to 195K core memory in a 260K Univac 1108/EXEC 8 machine. The physical program VISCEL, consisting of about 7200 instructions, has four distinct links (segments), and the compiled program occupies a maximum of about 11700 words decimal of core storage.

HICOV - Newton-Raphson calculus of variation with automatic transversalities

Computer program generates trajectories that are optimum with respect to payload placed in an earth orbit. It uses a subroutine package which produces the terminal and transversality conditions and their partial derivatives. This program is written in FORTRAN 4 and FORMAC for the IBM 7094 computer.

Automatic plate mensuration and reduction at Aeronautical Chart and Information Center

The use of optical satellite observation data for geodetic purposes depends on the ability to extract pertinent information from photographic plates by identifying points on the plates and correlating them with known star positions for use in geodetic positioning. This procedure is accomplished with a new semi-automatic measuring system, an advanced analytical plate reduction program for the IBM 7094 computer, and a triangulation adjustment. The advantages gained with the measuring system, a brief discussion of the system itself, and the plate reduction and triangulation adjustment are described.

Recent processed results from the Skylab S-192 multispectral scanner

Some early results are presented of attempts to map rock types on the basis of digital tape data from the Skylab S-192 multispectral scanner. The area selected is White Sands, New Mexico. The data has been collected on the SL-2 mission on June 20, 1973. An enlargement of a portion of an S-190A color photograph collected on Skylab Track 20 is considered. Spectral pattern recognition techniques, implemented on an IBM 7094 computer, were used to process the S-192 data. Processing procedures performed in a preparation of the data before the application of pattern recognition are briefly discussed. The analysis rock type spectra yielded 24 promising spectral channel ratio features for separating the rock types. It is concluded that the S-192 sensor data have great potential for lithologic mapping.
