MIL-HDBK-17 Lamina Properties

Statistically based lamina and laminate property data of the polymer-matrix composite systems in MIL-HDBK-17-2F (2002), the last open release of the Composite Materials Handbook data volume: carbon, glass and quartz fibers in epoxy, bismaleimide, polyimide, PEEK and cyanate-ester matrices. Pick a material to see its data-set description, summary pages and every individual data table laid out as the handbook prints them (mean, minimum, maximum, coefficient of variation, B- and A-basis values, distribution constants, specimen and batch counts, data class) for each test condition, with the normalized and as-measured columns. A signed-in analyst can turn one test condition into a lamina for the classical laminate theory tools and keep it under My Lamina, edited or as published.

  • 41 MIL-HDBK-17-2F material systems, 243 data tables, every statistic as printed

  • Lamina tension, compression and shear in the 1-, 2- and 12-directions; laminate open-hole, bearing and CAI tables

  • Room-temperature, cold, hot and wet conditions with normalized and measured columns

  • Save a condition as a lamina (E1, E2, G12, ν12, strengths, strains, ply thickness, density) for laminate analysis
