Abstract
Recent advances in computer technology that are likely to impact
structural analysis and design of flight vehicles are reviewed. A
brief summary is given of the advances in microelectronics and
networking technologies, and in the user-interface hardware and
software. The major features of new and projected computing
systems, including high-performance computers, parallel
processing machines, and small systems are described. Advances
in programming environment, numerical algorithms, and
computational strategies for new computing systems are reviewed.
The impact of the advances in computer technology on analysis
and design of structures is described. A scenario for future
computing paradigm is presented and the near-term needs in the
computational structures area are outlined.
