SummaryA method is given for the solution of the flutter determinant on a general purpose electronic digital computer. The method has been programmed for the N.R.D.C. 401 Computer and details of this programme are given. A quicker programme, applicable when only structural damping is present and there are two degrees of freedom, is also discussed. Appendix I discusses in detail the types of errors which occur when the method is applied and Appendix II considers the anticipated loss of accuracy which will be encountered when using the method in cases where the number of degrees of fredom is large.

Introduces ENIAC and sketches its accepted place in the history of computing as a candidate for the disputed honor of “the first computer,” or as the “first general purpose electronic digital computer.” The authors argue that both views simplify ENIAC’s complexities by reducing it to a single point on a historical trajectory. Instead they introduce a number of other perspectives developed in the book: ENIAC as a material artefact, ENIAC at the origin point of computer programming, ENIAC as a site for technical analysis, and ENIAC as an object of contested historical memory.

A main theme of concurrent engineering is the effective communication between relevant disciplines. Any computer tools for concurrent engineering must provide sufficient constructs and strategies for this purpose. This paper describes the AGENTS system, a domain-independent general-purpose Object-Oriented Prolog language for cooperating expert systems in concurrent engineering design. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating the use of the AGENTS constructs for distributed knowledge representation and the cooperation strategies for communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, and control. A simple case study is presented to illustrate the balance between simplicity and flexibility.
