NASA-STD-5019, NASA TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION: FRACTURE CONTROL REQUIREMENTS FOR SPACEFLIGHT HARDWARE (01-JUL-2008) [SUPERSEDING NASA-STD-5007]

NASA-STD-5019, NASA TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION: FRACTURE CONTROL REQUIREMENTS FOR SPACEFLIGHT HARDWARE (01-JUL-2008) [SUPERSEDING NASA-STD-5007]., This standard is published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide uniform engineering and technical requirements for processes, procedures, practices, and methods that have been endorsed as standard for NASA programs and projects, including requirements for selection, application, and design criteria of an item. This standard is approved for use by NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities. Fracture control is mandatory for all human-rated spaceflight systems, payloads, propulsion systems, orbital support equipment, and planetary habitats. This document establishes fracture control requirements and methodologies (replacing NASA-STD-5007). It was developed by a NASA-wide Fracture Control Working Group to provide a common framework for fracture control practices on NASA programs.
