The August issue of S&V is the annual Structural Analysis issue.
The cover photo from Scaled Composites shows ground vibration testing on SpaceShipOne, a topic covered further
in one of the observers. A second observer looks at ATV technology for engine noise predictions. The Feature
article looks at 20 years' use and abuse of the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC). Finally, the editorial serves
to bring home a fact that should be obvious but is too often forgetten: Thinking is Required!!!
