National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This Technical Handbook approved by NASA March 13, 2001. 249 p. The purpose of this handbook is to summarize and assess the following:
The dynamic environments that a spacecraft might be exposed to during its service life from the completion of its manufacture to the completion of its mission.
The state-of-the-art procedures for predicting the dynamic excitations (loads) produced by the dynamic environments.
The state-of-the-art procedures for predicting the structural responses to the dynamic excitations.
The state of the art procedures for establishing dynamic criteria with appropriate margins for the design and testing of a spacecraft and its components.
The equipment and procedures used to test a spacecraft and its components.
