Abstract Saturn V structural dynamic experiencein replica modeling, math modeling and dynamic testing was assessed. Major problems encountered in each of these are= and their solutions are discussed. The material is presented in two volumes. Volume I (NASA CR-1539) contains a summary of the material presented inVolume II and is oriented toward the program managers of future structural dynamic programs. Volume 11 contains the methods and procedures used in the Apollo Saturn V structural dynamics programs. The major problems encounteredand their solutions are discussed. Volume E is oriented toward the technicalleaders of future structural dynamics programs. 7. Key Words (Suggested by Author(s)) 18.
