BCSSTRUC4: BCS Structural Engineering Matrices (eigenvalue problems and linear equations)

Discipline: Dynamic analyses in structural engineering.
Accession: Summer 1984 and spring 1986

These matrices have all been extracted from GT-STRUDL and MSC/NASTRAN. The first two are generalized symmetric eigenproblems; the third is a linear equation problem. Please refer to BCS Structural Engineering Matrices for more detail on these problems. BCSSTK26 and BCSSTM26 are from a vibration station. It is of interest because the number of eigenvalues needed for the seismic analysis was quite large - the lowest 197. The large number effectively defeats sparse eigenvalue routines that do not shift, and stands as a real benchmark for shifted algorithms.
