Book excerpt: F33615-69-C-1523AF-1467AFFDLTR-71-8-Vol-2See also report dated Aug 72, AD-751 702.(*shells(structural forms), failure(mechanics)), (*computer programming, instruction manuals), structural properties, loads(forces), buckling, plastic properties, bodies of revolution, subroutinesnewton-raphson method, collapse, programming manuals, finite difference theory, *stags computer program, structural analysisThe manual presents STAGS, a comprehensive computer code. STAGS is intended for the static analysis of arbitrary shells including the effects of nonlinearities caused by material behavior and finite deformations. Collapse loads based on nonlinear analysis can be computed as well as buckling loads based on classical bifurcation buckling theory with linear prestress. Arbitrary thermal and mechanical loadings can be specified. The manual rpovides instructions for use of the code and presents sample problems and solutions. The program is under development and the version presented here is expected to be updated in 1973. The previous report, Volume 1 (AD-751 702), contains the numerical analysis.
