DAPS4
A Fortran code for design and analysis of ring-stiffened shells
...The following failure modes are considered:
• Shell stresses and displacements at mid-bay and ring-frames.
• Ring-frame stress.
• Axisymmetric collapse (AC).
• Elastic and Inelastic Interbay Buckling. (EIB and IIB).
• Elastic and Inelastic Monocoque Instability (EMI and IMI).
• Elastic and Inelastic General Instability (EGI and IGI).
• Ring-Frame Elastic Instability analysis (EFI).
Solutions compare favorably with DTMB experimental results.
DAPS4e’s IO is managed through a Visual Basic user form. Pre/post processing is done using linked macro-enabled Excel workbooks.
