Hello, I am a student at a university that doesn’t have a heavy focus on aerospace, and I am wanting to learn some for myself. Are there some reference materials (textbooks, papers or other) on rocket structure and design? I have been somewhat striking out in my area. Thank you.
Thank you for all the replies, To answer some questions:My question is in regards to personal interest, specifically regarding some of my friends and I starting our own rocketry project. Apologies for the late response.
Try searching in ntrs.nasa.gov. NASA archives all of its public papers and reports there. For structures, look for Elmer Bruhn, Analysis and Design of Flight Vehicle Structures, and C-Y Niu, Aiframe Structural Design. You can also talk to the Civil and Mechanical Engineering departments, as the basics are pretty much the same at your level.F=ma
