21st Century Military Handbook on Metallic Materials and Elements for Aerospace Vehicle Structures (CD-ROM)

This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM covers Military Handbook MIL-HDBK-5H, Metallic Materials and Elements for Aerospace Vehicle Structures, MIL-HDBK-5H, approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration. This document contains design information on the strength properties of metallic materials and elements for aerospace vehicle structures. All information and data contained in this handbook have been coordinated with the Air Force, Army, Navy, Federal Aviation Administration, and industry prior to publication, and are being maintained as a joint effort of the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Since many aerospace companies manufacture both commercial and military products, the standardization of metallic materials design data, which are acceptable to Government procuring or certification agencies is very beneficial to those manufacturers as well as governmental agencies. Although the design requirements for military and commercial products may differ greatly, the required design values for the strength of materials and elements and other needed material characteristics are often identical. Therefore, this publication is to provide standardized design values and related design information for metallic materials and structural elements used in aerospace structures. This document is intended primarily as a source of design allowables, which are those strength properties of metallic materials and elements (primarily fasteners) that are widely used in the design of aerospace structures. These metallic materials include all systems potentially useful in aerospace and a! ircraft applications, including those involving reinforcing components. This document also contains information and data for other properties and characteristics, such as fracture toughness strength, fatigue strength, creep strength, rupture strength, fatigue-crack propagation rate, and resistance to stress corrosion cracking. The use of this type of information is not mandatory. Some of the materials include aluminum alloys, steel alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium, nickel-base alloys, cobalt-base alloys, and heat-resistant alloys.

This CD-ROM has over 1650 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software and Reader software for Windows and Mac is included. Advanced search and indexing features are built into Acrobat Reader, providing a complete full-text index. The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable!

Our CD-ROMs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. This book-on-a-disc makes a superb reference work and educational tool.
