The axisymmetric finite elements of NEWPAC (TN-EMMA-20)

A general purpose structural analysis program, NEWPAC, was made avialable by the Computer Applications Section, Engineering Division, B.R. Research Dept., in December 1969. One requirement in B.R. not accommodated by this program at that time was the solution of axisymmetric problems, for example, the stress and thermal analysis of wheel...
