Auxiliary processor to improve cost-effectiveness of inelastic structural analysis. Final report

Creators

Description

Finite element code improvements are investigated toward the aim of greatly reduced computer charges plus on-line error estimation capability. Novel techniques are described that might, if implemented, give orders of magnitude computer cost reduction in high degree of freedom, inelastic problems. Estimators are discussed for errors due to material property uncertainties, loading uncertainties, and discretization. A plan is laid out for development of the needed computer software
