ASTM MIL17-02

MIL17, a world-class engineering handbook for structural applications of composite materials, includes standards for test and characterization methods, statistics, and databases, as well as guidelines for processing, design, analysis, quality control, repair, and material selection. It provides the latest information, for novices and experts alike, on polymer-matrix, metal-matrix, and ceramic matrix composite materials.

Contents of Set:

MIL17, VOLUME 1: Polymer Matrix Composites: Guidelines For Characterization Of Structural Materials documents material characterization data development methodology guidelines adaptable to a wide variety of needs, as well as specific requirements to be met by data published in the handbook.

MIL17, VOLUME 2: Polymer Matrix Composites: Materials Properties provides a repository of potential design data. The documented property summaries for material systems provide data meeting the criteria for any of the clearly defined material data classes: robust and reduced A-Basis, robust and reduced B-Basis, mean, interim, and screening.

MIL17, VOLUME 3: Polymer Matrix Composites: Materials Usage, Design, and Analysis gives you additional technical guidance on a wide variety of disciplines related to polymer matrix composites, including the use of data for the design and evaluation of composite structures. Because of the unique properties of composite materials compared to other materials (i.e. metals) the handbook provides guidance on how to apply the data presented in Volume 2.

MIL17, VOLUME 4: Metal Matrix Composites covers technology and materials primarily used in aircraft engine components, spacecraft, and other high temperature applications. This edition marks the first revision of Volume 4, which was initially introduced in 1999. Material data include fiber, matrix, and composite material properties. Some of these materials include SiC and alumina/aluminum and SiC/Ti composites. Raw data tables are also included in the appendix.

MIL17, VOLUME 5: Ceramic Matrix Composites features the first published edition of the CMC handbook, which includes information on relevant, commercially available CMC composite systems.
