The primary purpose of this Handbook is to provide a source of statistically based design values for commonly used metallic materials and joints. Additionally, other mechanical and physical properties needed for the design of aerospace structures are included. The material properties and joint data used to derive values published in this Handbook were obtained from tests conducted by material and fastener producers, government agencies, and members of the airframe industry. The data submitted to MMPDS are reviewed and analyzed per the methods detailed in this Handbook. Results of these analyses are submitted to the membership during coordination meetings and if determined to meet the set document standards they are published in this Handbook.

This Handbook also contains some useful basic formulas for structural element analysis. Theseformulas are provided in Chapter 1 to illustrate how the material data contained in the Handbook may be used.However, structural design and analysis are beyond the scope of this Handbook. While an attempt is made toassure the accuracy of the formulas and analytical methods contained in Chapter 1, there is no attempt in thisHandbook to provide currently accepted design or analytical methods.

References for data and various test methods are listed at the end of each chapter. The referencenumber corresponds to the applicable paragraph of the chapter cited. Such references are intended to providesources of additional information, but should not necessarily be considered as containing data suitable fordesign purposes.

Applicable testing standards are identified by number only in the text. Full titles for these standardsare listed in Appendix D.
