It’s hard to believe that this old coot is the same person as that depicted in the first slide.
David Bushnell worked at Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, which later became the Lockheed Martin Corporation, from 1961 to 1994, when he retired at age 55.
In his retirement he continues to develop his computer programs, BIGBOSOR4, BOSOR5, PANDA2, and GENOPT.
Most of his time, from 1994 to 2007, he spent on his continuing development of PANDA2, including the creation of the PANDA2 processors, PANEL, PANEL2, and PANEL3, that generate valid input files for BIGBOSOR4, and the PANDA2 processor, STAGSUNIT, that generates valid input files for the STAGS computer program, a general-purpose finite element code developed by Bo O. Almroth, Charles C. Rankin and others.
From 2008 to the present Dr. Bushnell has worked primarily with GENOPT/ BIGBOSOR4, developing the capability to optimize complex shells of revolution and prismatic structures and validating the optimum designs by the application of STAGS.
