(d) Platforms: The mini version 1.22 (1987) compiles with the Fortran 77 system, the PC version 1.22 (1987) compiled with MicroSoft Fortran Version 3.3x and uses the IBM Graphics Toolkit. (e) Status: The Fortran source has been compiled on the HP. The PC version has also been compiled. (f) Notes: The program has a modular construction, with most of the package being independent of the particular problem being solved. The user needs to write a module which returns the appropriate {\it element matrices} for the problem in hand. Then the macro language introduced by Taylor is used to set up the solution algorithm. Several examples are included, and seem to function correctly, including some nonlinear problems. The procedures are described in general outline in the book. The ideas are good, but unfortunately the programming style is so impenetrable (lots of poorly documented variables in common blocks) that the idea of using FEAP as a working tool presents major problems.

(c) Availability: The Fortran source code is also available on diskette from the publisher (Pounds 500). (d) Notes: In one dimension the following problem types can be solved: (1) non-linear quasi-harmonic problems (solution either by direct iteration or by Newton-Raphson iteration); (2) non-linear elastic, elasto-plastic and elasto-viscoplastic problems; (3) non-layered or layered elasto-plastic analysis of Timoshenko beams. In two dimensions the static problem types are: (1) elasto-plastic and elasto-viscoplastic analysis of plane and axi-symmetric solids; (2) non-layered/layered elasto-plastic analysis of Mindlin plates. The two dimensional dynamic problem types involve two-dimensional plane stress/strain and axi-symmetric non-linear dynamic transient analysis: (1) DYNPAK small/large elastic deformation or small elasto-viscoplastic deformation with explicit central-difference time integration;

(2) MIXDYN small/large deformation elastic or small deformation elastic-plastic (Tresca, Von Mises, Drucker-Prager, Mohr-Coulomb) and a choice of time integration algorithm (explicit, implicit, combined implicit-explicit).

A survey (1987) of some FE software systems can be found in the {\it Finite Element Handbook}, Kardestuncer and Norrie (eds). Most of the commercial programs reviewed in this book are still current, and there is further information in the references cited. The large programs are usually very expensive (ca $100,000) but are often made available to academic institutions at considerably reduced rates. A company like IRL sits uncomfortably between two stools: it is not classed as an academic institution, but neither is it large enough to be able to afford the big commercial FE packages. A few of the inexpensive commercial

packages are listed below [1] FE03 (a) Description: NAG Finite Element Library (ANSI(66) Fortran standard) (b) Authors: Ian Smith, University of Manchester; SERC, Rutherfield Appleton Lab UK (c) Availability: From a NAG agent, eg CEANET (Pounds 345, or Pounds 276 (educational)) (d) Notes: FE03 consists of two libraries, a subroutine library (Level0) and a set of driving programs (Level1) which make calls to the subroutines. Documentation and source listings are provided for both Level0 and Level1 libraries. A useful introduction to FE theory and FE programming is included in the Level1 manual. The example programs include applications to static and dynamic analysis of solids, steady-state and time-dependent potential problems, and some non-linear potential problems. The idea is that these programs should serve as templates for the user's own applications. The NAG concept is a valuable one for FE novices and program developers. The FE03 libraries are at the basis of the IRL FE program FEMIRL. The major drawback to FE03 is that it is overdue for revision. For that reason the licence has been allowed to lapse. It is rumoured that a C++ NAG FE library is in existence. [1a] MODULEF: (a) Description : A modular FE library which can be installed on workstations, mainframes and supercomputers.
