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.

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.

Program for calculating optimum dimensions of alpha radioisotope capsules exposed to varying stress and temperature

A method and computer program were developed for calculating the creep and optimizing the dimensions of capsules filled with alpha-emitting radioisotopes. The method solves an integral equation that was developed assuming linear accumulation of partial creep lives and relating life to time-dependent stress and temperature using the Larson-Miller parameter. The computer program, CAPSUL, is written in Fortran language for the IBM 360/75 computer. The program makes a least squares fit of the creep life function using conventional constant stress, constant temperature creep data. Dimensions of capsules having maximum thermal power per unit of weight, volume, or area are calculated for a given creep life and pressure-temperature history using a numerical Lagrange Multiplier formulation. The program also calculates the life to a prescribed strain for capsules of given dimensions and pressure-temperature history. The method has been used to analyze creep data for the alloys 304 stainless steel, Hastelloy N, Cb-1% Zr, FS-85, and T-222.
