DAPS4e.6 is an updated version of a Fortran code by John Renzi and William Gordon for design and analysis of monocoque and ring-stiffened circular cylindrical shells [DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.18176.92165]. The following failure modes are considered: • Shell stresses and displacements at mid-bay and ring-frames. • Axisymmetric collapse (AC). • Elastic and Inelastic Interbay Buckling. (EIB and IIB). • Elastic and Inelastic Monocoque Instability (EMI and IMI). • Ring-frame stress and Elastic Instability analysis (EFI). Solutions compare favorably with DTMB experimental results. ...

...It plots stresses, deflections and the equilibrium path for imperfect circular cylinders showing the onset of yielding and limit points in relation to elastic and inelastic bifurcation buckling pressures. Two types of initial geometric imperfections, outer diameter out-of-roundness and outer-to-inner diameter eccentricity with a phase angle between them, can be considered. CPVparametric.xlsm, does parametric analyses. It plots performance parameters against depth or pressure for up to five different combinations of materials and shell geometries including initial imperfections. ...

A collection of Fortran 2003, 90 and 77 routines, modules and programs for automatic simulation based global constrained optimisation. The initial application is for FE simulation of elasto-plastic buckling of steel rods aimed at tuning the hardening model. Unix shell scripts are used extensively. High concurrency is achieved with parallel multi-start global search and with parallel MPI FE. Powell's BOBYQA or LINCOA are used (not included in this package). Automatic mesh generation of 3D cylinders is provided + automatic boundary conditions, all via Fortran and shell scripting.
