Spacecraft Structures and Mechanisms describes the integral process
of developing cost-effective, reliable structures and mechanical
products for space programs. Processes are defined, methods are
described and examples are given. It has been written by 24
engineers in the space industry, who cover the themes of (1)
ensuring a successful mission, and (2) reducing total cost through
good designs and intelligent risk management. Topics include:
Introduction and requirements (development process, requirements
documentation, requirements definition, space mission
environments); Analysis (statics, dynamics and load analysis,
fatigue and fracture mechanics, mechanics of materials, strength
analysis, heat transfer and thermal effects); Verification and
quality assurance (verification planning, structural, mechanical
and environmental testing, quality assurance and configuration
control, compliance documentation, structural reliability analysis,
verification criteria - factors of safety, margins of safety,
fracture control, test options); Design (spacecraft configuration
development, finite element analysis, mechanism development,
designing for producibility, structural design, materials,
designing to control loads, load cycles, sensitivity analysis);
Final verification (model correlation, risk management, launch
readiness reviews). For system engineers, mechanical designers,
stress analysts, dynamics and load analysts, technical leads,
program managers.
