v, [1], 174, [2] pages. Illustrations. Figures. Tables. Appendix. References. Bibliography. Glossary. Symbols. Index. Cover has an ink note on front and some wear and soiling. The author was associated with the University of Pittsburgh. In addition to his contributions to the technical literature he was an avid collector of militaria. The L. Albert Scipio Collection, housed at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, is an integral part of America's military history. Dr. L. Albert Scipio has spent his entire life collecting military artifacts since being a child mascot for the 24th Infantry. The 24th Infantry regiment was posted to the western frontier and its members became known as "Buffalo Soldiers". The collection consists of artifacts from the U.S. Army, such as rare books, photographs, insignia, documents, videotapes, oral histories and original uniforms. Also included is a rare collection of Native American scout artifacts. The uniform collection represents objects as early as 1872 to World War II. In addition to the rare books, Dr. Scipio has included personal books he has written on African Americans in the military. During the last few years, material and structural engineers have solved many formidable problems in ways that have led to significant changes in the design process itself. They have been able to develop new materials and designs without sacrificing structural- weight to gross-operating-weight ratios. In fact, these ratios are generally comparable to, or in many cases better than, those for slower vehicles. This new knowledge and experience are providing a firm foundation for the design of structures to meet individual as well as space requirements. This survey has three main aims: (1) to identify for those in the field of structural design the contributions of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the programs it has sponsored; (2) to describe the development of construction materials associated with these advances; and (3) to suggest, by examples, some of the applications in which they may be used. The survey covers structural types (including material systems), structural concepts, and structural design synthesis and optimization. While the analyst may not find this approach as sophisticated as the designer will, he may gain from it some insight into the development of new structural design concepts. The degree to which these and other developments ultimately are utilized commercially depends on the foresight and ingenuity of structural designers. Selection of materials and structural design to meet specific performance requirements is a complex problem. Each configuration and each part of the configuration must be examined and analyzed to provide the best possible structure for each application. Although we can only scratch the surface of the subject, we have attempted to offer some guidelines for structural designers in material selection, design approach, and optimization procedures for minimum-weight design.
