NOVA-2 -- A Digital Computer Program for Analyzing Nuclear Overpressure Effects on Aircraft. Part 2. Computer Program.

摘要

NOVA-2 (Nuclear Overpressure Vulnerability Analysis, Version 2) is an updated version of NOVA, a FORTRAN-4 digital computer program for calculating the response of individual structural elements of aircraft, such as stringers, frames and panels, exposed to the transient pressure loading associated with the blast wave from a nuclear explosion. The updated version extends the capability of NOVA to analyze rib elements, frames with variable cross section, and offers a choice of clamped, simply supported or free edge boundary conditions.
