NASA automatic system for computer program documentation, volume 2

The DYNASOR 2 program is used for the dynamic nonlinear analysis of shells of revolution. The equations of motion of the shell are solved using Houbolt's numerical procedure. The displacements and stress resultants are determined for both symmetrical and asymmetrical loading conditions. Asymmetrical dynamic buckling can be investigated. Solutions can be obtained for highly nonlinear problems utilizing as many as five of the harmonics generated by SAMMSOR program. A restart capability allows the user to restart the program at a specified time. For Vol. 1, see N73-22129.

RALPH: An online computer program for acquisition and reduction of pulse height data

A background/foreground data acquisition and analysis system incorporating a high level control language was developed for acquiring both singles and dual parameter coincidence data from scintillation detectors at the Radiation Counting Laboratory at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas. The system supports acquisition of gamma ray spectra in a 256 x 256 coincidence matrix (utilizing disk storage) and simultaneous operation of any of several background support and data analysis functions. In addition to special instruments and interfaces, the hardware consists of a PDP-9 with 24K core memory, 256K words of disk storage, and Dectape and Magtape bulk storage.

SSME structural computer program development. Volume 1: BOPACE theoretical manual

The BOPACE program (Boeing plastic analysis capability for engines) was developed to meet the need for an advanced thermal-elastic-plastic-creep structural analyzer by providing incremental relation between stresses and strains. The cumulative stress-strain relation, for temperature-dependent, or temperature independent elasticity is discussed along with the option for plane-stress analysis or plane-strain analysis. The BOPACE solution approach is summarized.

Numerical analysis of stiffened shells of revolution. Volume 1: Theory manual for STARS-2S, 2B, 2V digital computer programs

The theoretical analysis background for the STARS-2 (shell theory automated for rotational structures) program is presented. The theory involved in the axisymmetric nonlinear and unsymmetric linear static analyses, and the stability and vibrations (including critical rotation speed) analyses involving axisymmetric prestress are discussed. The theory for nonlinear static, stability, and vibrations analyses, involving shells with unsymmetric loadings are included.

Numerical analysis of stiffened shells of revolution. Volume 3: Users' manual for STARS-2B, 2V, shell theory automated for rotational structures, 2 (buckling, vibrations), digital computer programs

The User's manual for the shell theory automated for rotational structures (STARS) 2B and 2V (buckling, vibrations) is presented. Several features of the program are: (1) arbitrary branching of the shell meridians, (2) arbitrary boundary conditions, (3) minimum input requirements to describe a complex, practical shell of revolution structure, and (4) accurate analysis capability using a minimum number of degrees of freedom.

Computer program for predicting off-design performance of centrifugal compressors

Complete knowledge of compressor overall geometry and working fluid total inlet conditions is required for program's use. On given speed line, compressor performance is calculated for range of inlet velocity levels. Working fluid state conditions and flow properties are calculated using mean stream line one-dimensional analysis.

Computer program for flexible rotor dynamics analysis

Program analyzes general nonaxisymmetric and nonsynchronous transient and steady-state rotor dynamic performance of bending- and shear-wise flexible rotor-bearing system under various operating conditions. Program can be used as analytical study tool for general transient spin-speed and/or non-axisymmetric rotor motion.

Data summary and computer program for axial-flow pump rotor performance

Assembly of noncavitating blade element performance data for axial-flow pump rotor configurations has been collected and organized. Program facilitates handling large amounts of experimental data involved and may be used as data reduction program to process flow and performance measurements from other axial-flow pump configurations.

Computer program for calculating critical speeds of rotating shafts

Shaft may include bearings, couplings, extra masses, and disks for gyroscopic effect. Shaft deflection is taken into account and provision is made in program for sections of shaft that are tapered. Plotter produces drawing of shaft with superimposed deflection curves at critical speeds together with all pertinent information related to shaft.
