The JAS mechanical structure metallic elements shall be designed to withstand the effects of cyclic load condition caused by the design environment. The design environment includes all ground handling transportation, testing, launch and on orbit operational environments indicated in the Environmental Specification. MSFC-HDBK-505 Chapter 7 shall be implemented for fatigue analysis. This analysis shall use Miner’s criteria with a value less than or equal to 0.7 for environments in the Environmental Specification. The Miner’s criteria calculation shall include loading.
