Application of the QSDC procedure to the formulation of space shuttle design criteria. Volume 1: Study effort

Criteria to determine the probability of aircraft structural failure were statistically established according to the Quantitative Structural Design Criteria by Statistical Methods, the QSDC procedure. Since an Application Guide is needed to use the QSDC procedure, most of the study was directed to the development of this guide. Most of the considerations followed in the development of the Applications Guide and the Guide itself are reported.

Application of the QSDC procedure to the formulation of space shuttle design criteria. Volume 2: Applications guide

Criteria to determine the probability of aircraft structural failure were established according to the Quantitative Structural Design Criteria by Statistical Methods, the QSDC Procedure. This criteria method was applied to the design of the space shuttle during this contract. An Applications Guide was developed to demonstrate the utilization of the QSDC Procedure, with examples of the application to a hypothetical space shuttle illustrating the application to specific design problems. Discussions of the basic parameters of the QSDC Procedure: the Limit and Omega Conditions, and the strength scatter, have been included. Available data pertinent to the estimation of the strength scatter have also been included.
