Title

Proceedings of the Third Conference on Matrix Methods in Structural Mechanics: Proceedings of the Conference held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio 19-21 October 1971

Description

The Third Conference on Matrix Methods in Structural Mechanics, sponsored by the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Air University, and the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory (AFFDL), Air Force Systems Command, was held on 19-21 October 1971 in the auditorium of the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The purpose of the conference was to discuss the recent developments in matrix structural analysis and design of structural systems. This volume contains all the papers presented at the conference.

Three hundred and seventy-five scientists and engineers were in attendance including representation from the following foreign countries: Belgium, Canada, Germany, Holland, India, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.

Thirty-four papers were presented at the conference in major topic areas entitled: Design Procedures, General Methods, Finite Elements, Dynamics, Structural Optimization, Structural Applications, Computer Graphics, Non-Linear Effects and Non-Structural Applications. The papers covered practically all major aspects of recent research and development work on matrix methods in structural mechanics.
