ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK. BALLISTIC MISSILE SERIES, STRUCTURES

Abstract

The handbook has been prepared as one of a series on the design of ballistic missiles. It presents selected data on the properties of materials of construction including the effects of elevated temperatures and other operational conditions on ballistic missile structures. Particular attention has been given to the stress analysis of thin shells. In addition the special design considerations applicable to ballistic missile structures are discussed.
