Self-correcting incremental approach in nonlinear structural mechanics.

A self-correcting, incremental-solution procedure has been developed which seems to be promising in solving geometrically highly nonlinear problems. The procedure is also applicable to systems with many degrees of freedom where the bandwidth of the stiffness matrix is large compared with the narrow bandwidth for the shell of revolution.

Thin wing corrections for phase-change heat-transfer data.

Since no methods are available for determining the magnitude of the errors incurred when the semiinfinite slab assumption is violated, a computer program was developed to calculate the heat-transfer coefficients to both sides of a finite, one-dimensional slab subject to the boundary conditions ascribed to the phase-change coating technique. The results have been correlated in the form of correction factors to the semiinfinite slab solutions in terms of parameters normally used with the technique.

Estimating trajectory correction requirements for the Outer Planets Grand Tour missions.

The estimation of trajectory correction requirements for the Outer Planets Grand Tour (OPGT) missions poses a unique and many-faceted problem for the systems analyst. In this paper the navigation concept for the OPGT is developed and illustrated. The limiting accuracies and performance of the combined radio/onboard optical system are examined. The combined orbit determination system is characterized by its accuracy and by its system risks. Such considerations are included with the statistical combination of maneuver estimates to produce preliminary delta V estimates for the planned OPGT missions.

Error correction in adders using systematic subcodes.

A generalized theory is presented for the construction of a systematic subcode for a given AN code in such a way that error control properties of the AN code are preserved in this new code. The 'systematic weight' and 'systematic distance' functions in this new code depend not only on its number representation system but also on its addition structure. Finally, to illustrate this theory, a simple error-correcting adder organization using a systematic subcode of 29 N code is sketched in some detail.

A modification of the Avrett-Krook temperature-correction procedure.

In the course of developing a computer program for blanketed model stellar atmospheres, it was found that near the surface the Avrett-Krook temperature correction procedure (1963) has poor convergence properties. The problem is most apparent when frequencies shortward of the Lyman discontinuity are included. Slightly different assumptions have been made to improve the convergence.
