Calculation of resonance neutron absorption in two-region problems /the GAROL code/
GAROL computer program explicitly takes into account those effects which arise from neutron resonance overlap of an individual resonance absorber and of mixtures of different resonance absorbers. GAROL computes effective group cross-sections for the resolved resonances of a mixture of isotopes in a two-region cell
NASTRAN flutter analysis of advanced turbopropellers
An existing capability developed to conduct modal flutter analysis of tuned bladed-shrouded discs in NASTRAN was modified and applied to investigate the subsonic unstalled flutter characteristics of advanced turbopropellers. The modifications pertain to the inclusion of oscillatory modal aerodynamic loads of blades with large (backward and forward) variable sweep. The two dimensional subsonic cascade unsteady aerodynamic theory was applied in a strip theory manner with appropriate modifications for the sweep effects. Each strip is associated with a chord selected normal to any spanwise reference curve such as the blade leading edge. The stability of three operating conditions of a 10-bladed propeller is analyzed. Each of these operating conditions is iterated once to determine the flutter boundary. A 5-bladed propeller is also analyzed at one operating condition to investigate stability. Analytical results obtained are in very good agreement with those from wind tunnel tests

Finite element forced vibration analysis of rotating cyclic structures
A capability was added to the general purpose finite element program NASTRAN Level 17.7 to conduct forced vibration analysis of tuned cyclic structures rotating about their axes of symmetry. The effects of Coriolis and centripetal accelerations together with those due to linear acceleration of the axis of rotation were included. The theoretical development of this capability is presented
Nastran level 16 theoretical manual updates for aeroelastic analysis of bladed discs
A computer program based on state of the art compressor and structural technologies applied to bladed shrouded disc was developed and made operational in NASTRAN Level 16. Aeroelastic analyses, modes and flutter. Theoretical manual updates are included
An alternative method of analysis for base accelerated dynamic response in NASTRAN
An alternative method of analysis to determine the dynamic response of structures subjected to base accelerations is presented. The method is exact as opposed to the approximate technique of using unusually large masses and loads to enforce desired base accelerations. This paper presents the relevant equations to motion, ALTERs for direct and modal frequency-, random- and transient-response rigid formats, and illustrative examples

Acoustical modes of arbitrary volumes using NASTRAN transient heat transfer RF9
An equivalence between temperature and pressure, heat conduction and stiffness and heat capacity and mass is defined, enabling acoustical modal analysis of arbitrary three dimensional volumes. The transient heat transfer analysis rigid format in NASTRAN, RF9, has been altered providing the acoustical analysis capability. Examples and ALTERs are included
