National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

As-built Model Generation for a Cylindrical Test Object.

DE200415009724

Publication Date	2003
Personal Author	Chambers, D. H.; Goodman, D. M.; Leach, R. R.
Page Count	34
Abstract	The goal of the As Built Model Development (ABMD) project in ADAPT is to determine how to produce finite element (FEM) meshes from information obtained from nondestructive inspection of parts and assemblies. These meshes could then be used in computational analysis tools to predict the actual performance of the parts, as opposed to the design performance that is obtained using meshes derived from design information. Information derived from several inspection methods could be used to derive the meshes, with some methods sensitive to geometry and others to material properties.
