His eldest son, Samuel Stanford Manson (1919-2013) was an acclaimed metals researcher for NASA; in the 1950s and 1960s he helped elaborate the Manson-Coffin Law of metal fatigue and the Manson-Hirschberg Method of Universal Slopes, findings which were crucial to space engines and heat shields.[22] In 1966 he published Thermal Stress and Low-cycle Fatigue.[23]
