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:
a. 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.
b. The state-of-the-art procedures for predicting the dynamic excitations (loads) produced by the dynamic environments.
c. The state-of-the-art procedures for predicting the structural responses to the dynamic excitations.
d. The state of the art procedures for establishing dynamic criteria with appropriate margins for the design and testing of a spacecraft and its components.
e. The equipment and procedures used to test a spacecraft and its components.
