SHELL STABILITY PROBLEMS IN THE DESIGN OF LARGE SPACE VEHICLE BOOSTERSA discussion of the current methods used to design the Saturn type booster shell structures is presented covering bending and axial compression, with and without internal pressure. Problem areas encountered in the application of available shell stability data to these designs are delineated; as well as, suggested areas of future research for shell configurations anticipated in advanced designs.
