This handbook documents engineering methodologies for the development of standardized, statistically -based material property data for polymer matrix composite materials. Also provided are data summaries for a number of relevant composite material systems for which available data meets specific MIL-HNBK-17 requirements for publication. Additionally, supporting materials are summarized. This handbook has been developed and is maintained as a joint effort of the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration. The book's primary purpose is the standardization of engineering data...

This standardization handbook has been developed and is being maintained as a joint effort of the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration. It provides guidelines and material properties for polymer (organic) and metal matrix composite materials. This handbook aims to provide a standard source of statistically-based mechanical property data, procedures, and overall materials guidelines for characterization of composite material systems.
This volume provides methodologies and lessons learned for the design, manufacture, and analysis of composite structures and for...

Presents guidelines and material properties for organic polymer and metal matrix composite materials. This book covers statistically-based mechanical property data for composite materials, including aramid, glass, boron, alumina, silicon carbide, and quartz fiber composites.
