April 2004
The April issue of S&V is our first-ever Computer Aided Engineering issue. Associate editor George Fox Lang kicks off the issue with an editorial on producing our magazine in an ever-changing world. The Observer looks at the design and of a human centrifuge, depicted on the cover. The feature articles cover bridging the gap between FEA and test, and combing test and FE models in NASTRAN. Finally, we include a software review of current FEA tools in the area of structural dynamics.
