Abstract
The history, recent developments and trends in computational
structures technology (CST) are summarized. Discussion
focuses on development of CST software and goals of CST
activities. Some recent advances in a number of CST areas
are described, including discretization techniques and element
technology; computational material modeling; modeling of
composite and sandwich structures; life prediction
methodology; transient response analysis; numerical
simulation of frictional contact/impact response; articulated
structural dynamics; nondeterministic modeling and analysis
methods; hybrid techniques; error estimation and adaptive
improvement strategies; strategies for solution of coupled
problems; sensitivity analysis; integrated analysis and design;
strategies and numerical algorithms for new computing
systems; model generation facilities; and application of
object-oriented technology. Research areas in CST which have high
potential for meeting the future technological needs are
identified.
