Types of input data required from the BOSOR5 user

A quaint figure from the 1974 BOSOR5 user's manual. This slide shows an input "deck" for the BOSOR5 pre-processor (called BOSORREAD). Although computer cards are no longer used, this figure demonstrates the type of BOSOR5 input data called for by the BOSOR5 processor, BOSORREAD, during the user's BOSORREAD interactive session.

(This figure is taken from the paper, "BOSOR5 - Program for buckling of elastic-plastic complex shells of revolution including large deflections and creep" by David Bushnell, Computers & Structures, Vol. 6, pp.221-239, 1976)
