The standardization of a statistically-based mechanical property data base, procedures used, and overall material guidelines for characterization of composite material systems is recognized as being beneficial to both manufacturers and government agencies. A complete characterization of the capabilities of any engineering material system depends on the inherent material physical and chemical composition which are independent of specific applications. Therefore, at the material system characterization level, the data and guidelines contained in this handbook apply to military and commercial products and provide the technical basis for establishing statistically valid design values acceptable to certificating or procuring agencies.
This standardization handbook has been developed and is maintained as a joint effort of the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration. It is oriented toward the standardization of methods used to develop and analyze mechanical property data on current and emerging composite materials.
Volume 3 of MIL-HDBK-17 provides methodologies and lessons learned for the design, manufacture, and analysis of composite structures and for utilization of the material data provided in Volume II consistent with the guidance provided in Volume I. The information provided is included primarily as background and as a basis for consistent use of terminology, notation, and methodology and is not offered for regulatory purposes. The volume represents a compilation of the relevant composites design, manufacture, and analysis experience of engineers and scientists from industry, government, and academia.
