EN 14165:2004 (E)4ForewordThis document (EN 14165:2004) has been prepared by CEN/CS.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of anidentical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2004, and conflicting national standards shallbe withdrawn at the latest by October 2004.It is based on a previous version1) originally prepared by the ECSS Engineering Working Group,reviewed by the ECSS Technical Panel and approved by the ECSS Steering Board. The EuropeanCooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) is a cooperative effort of the European Space Agency,National Space Agencies and European industry associations for the purpose of developing andmaintaining common standards.This standard is one of the series of space standards intended to be applied together for themanagement, engineering and product assurance in space projects and applications.Requirements in this standard are defined in terms of what shall be accomplished, rather than in termsof how to organize and perform the necessary work. This allows existing organizational structures andmethods to be applied where they are effective, and for the structures and methods to evolve asnecessary without rewriting the standards.This European Standard specifies the fracture control requirements to be imposed in spaceprogrammes.The formulation of this standard takes into account the existing ISO 9000 family of documents.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of thefollowing countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, CzechRepublic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Since this standard and the NASA document NSTS 1700.7 (incl. the ISS Addendum) aresubject to different independent approval authorities, and recognizing that possible changes todocuments may occur in the future, the user of this standard is advised to confirm the current status.NOTE
The definitions used in this standard are based on ECSS nomenclature and are given in clause 3.The NASA nomenclature differs in some cases from that used by ECSS. When STS-specific requirementsand nomenclature are included, they are identified as such.2Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listedhereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these apply to thisEuropean Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

For payloads of the NASA STS or ISS, the applicable definition is: "A potential risk situation that canresult in personnel injury, loss of the NASA orbiter, ground facilities, or STS equipment (see NSTS 1700.7,paragraph 302)".3.1.7containmenttechnique that, if a part fails, prevents the propagation of failure effects beyond the container boundaries3.1.8crack or crack-like defectdefect that behaves like a crack that is initiated, for example, during material production, fabrication ortesting or developped during the service life of a componentNOTE

This value is also called the fracture toughness. The parameter KIC is the fracture toughness forplane strain and is an inherent property of the material. For stress conditions other than plane strain, thefracture toughness is denoted KC. In fracture mechanics analyses, failure is assumed to be imminent whenthe applied stress-intensity factor is equal to or exceeds its critical value, i.e. the fracture toughness.

The terms "catastrophic hazard" and "critical hazard" are defined in 3.1 of this standard.NOTE
In NASA NSTS 1700.7 (Safety Policy and Requirements For Payloads Using the SpaceTransportation System [STS]), the payload structural design is based on fracture control procedures whenthe failure of a STS payload structural item can result in a NASA STS payload catastrophic event.For the implementation of this standard the SI-units and associated symbols system shall be used.The assumptions and prerequisites which are the basis of the requirements contained in this standardare the following:a.All real structural elements contain crack-like defects located in the most critical area of thecomponent in the most unfavourable orientation. The inability of non-destructive inspection (NDI)techniques to detect such defects does not negate this assumption, but merely establishes anupper bound on the initial size of the cracks which result from these defects. For conservatism, thiscrack size then becomes the smallest allowable size to be used in any analysis or assessment.b.After undergoing a sufficient number of cycles at a sufficiently high stress amplitude, materialsexhibit a tendency to initiate fatigue cracks, even in non-aggressive environments.c.Whether, under cyclic or sustained tensile stress, a pre-existing (or load-induced) crack does ordoes not propagate depends on:·fracture toughness of the material;·initial size and geometry of the crack;·presence of an aggressive environment;·geometry of the item;·magnitude and number of loading cycles;·temperature of the material.d.The engineering discipline of linear elastic fracture mechanics provides analytical tools for theprediction of crack propagation and critical crack size.SIST EN 14165:2004



EN 14165:2004 (E)12e.For non-metallic materials (other than glass and glass-like materials) and fibre-reinforcedcomposites (both with metal and with polymer matrix), linear elastic fracture mechanics technologyis agreed by most authorities to be inadequate. Fracture control of these materials relies on thetechniques of containment, fail safe assessment, proof testing and cyclic load testing.f.A scatter factor is required to account for the observed scatter in measured material properties andfracture mechanics analysis uncertainties.g.For NSTS and ISS payloads, entities like regulators, relief devices and thermal control systemscontrolling the pressure, shall be two-fault tolerant, see NSTS 1700.7.5Fracture control programme5.1Generala.A fracture control programme shall be implemented (when required by EN ISO 14620-1 or theNASA document NSTS 1700.7, incl. ISS Addendum for space systems and their related GSE) inaccordance with this standard.A fracture control programme shall require that design be based on fracture control principles andprocedures when the initiation or propagation of cracks in structural items during the service life canresult in a catastrophic or critical hazard, or NASA STS catastrophic hazardous consequences, orwhen the structural item is a pressure vessel or is rotating machinery (see Figure 1).b.For unmanned, single-mission, space vehicles and their payloads, the reduced fracture controlprogramme, specified in clause 11, may be implemented.5.2Responsibilities of supplierThe equipment supplier shall be responsible for the implementation of the fracture control programmerequired by this standard.5.3Fracture control plana.The supplier shall prepare and implement a fracture control plan which conforms to therequirements of this standard. The fracture control plan, which shall be subject to approval by thecustomer, shall define the fracture control programme that shall be implemented and shall showhow the supplier performs and verifies the satisfactory completion of each of the activities in thefracture control programme.b.In the fracture control plan, each fracture control activity shall be identified and defined, the methodof implementation summarized, and the implementation schedule specified against projectmilestones. All applicable requirements and procedures shall be identified.SIST EN 14165:2004
