The Titan IV vehicle, a stretching of the Titan III to possess longer fuel and oxidizer tanks on both stages while retaining the constant, 10-ft diameter, would have to withstand larger P-equivalent loads due to the increased weight of skin, stringer, and frame structure strengthening. Upon analysis, it was established that increased vehicle and payload fairing lengths imparted a large bending moment to the booster at design Q-alpha total flight conditions, so that stiffness rather than axial load became the design driver. Weight problems thus incurred were addressed by critical structural element analyses using target weight vs stress margin comparisons. Items were thus identified for successful weight reduction treatment.
