MIL-HDBK-17-2F Volume 2,Chapter 1 General Information ④ The test method is identified with the organization,number,and date.For compression after im- pact,the nominal impact energy level used for the test is appended to the test method,since al- ternate levels are often used.See Tables 1.4.5-1.4.7 for additional information that describes testing parameters for notched laminates,bearing,and bearing/bypass. 6 The method of calculating the modulus is presented for mechanical property data.This includes the calculation method,and the location or range of measurements used for the calculation.Un- less otherwise stated(in a footnote),the same method and range is used for Poisson's ratio. 6 The normalization method is presented for data that have been normalized(See Volume 1,Sec- tion 2.4.3).The fiber volume to which the data are normalized is also included.This value is typi- cally 60%for carbon-fiber-reinforced unidirectional material (tape)and 57%for carbon-fiber- reinforced fabric.The normalizing fiber volume for all glass-fiber-reinforced material is 50%.Types of normalization as entered are: Normalized by fiber volume to XX%(0.0XXX in.CPT) Normalized by specimen thickness and batch fiber volume to XX%(0.0XXX in.CPT) Normalized by specimen thickness and batch fiber areal weight to XX%fiber volume(0.0XXX in.CPT) Corresponding cured ply thickness(CPT)values,based on a nominal fiber areal weight,are in- cluded for reference for each method. ⑦ At the top of each data column are the test conditions.Nominally dry conditions,for materials that are fabricated and stored under controlled conditions are noted.Wet conditions that are not condi- tioned to equilibrium are also noted.The source code provides a means for identifying data sets from the same source.No other source identification is provided. 8 Specific properties are identified in the tables with symbols.These symbols are a combination of an initial letter with subscripts and super scripts added as appropriate.Components of the prop- erty symbols are shown in Table 1.4.3(b). TABLE 1.4.3(b)Components used to construct property symbols.

MIL-HDBK-17-2F Volume 2, Chapter 1 General Information 1-13 ➍ The test method is identified with the organization, number, and date. For compression after impact, the nominal impact energy level used for the test is appended to the test method, since alternate levels are often used. See Tables 1.4.5 - 1.4.7 for additional information that describes testing parameters for notched laminates, bearing, and bearing/bypass. ➎ The method of calculating the modulus is presented for mechanical property data. This includes the calculation method, and the location or range of measurements used for the calculation. Unless otherwise stated (in a footnote), the same method and range is used for Poisson's ratio. ➏ The normalization method is presented for data that have been normalized (See Volume 1, Section 2.4.3). The fiber volume to which the data are normalized is also included. This value is typically 60% for carbon-fiber-reinforced unidirectional material (tape) and 57% for carbon-fiberreinforced fabric. The normalizing fiber volume for all glass-fiber-reinforced material is 50%. Types of normalization as entered are: Normalized by fiber volume to XX% (0.0XXX in. CPT) Normalized by specimen thickness and batch fiber volume to XX% (0.0XXX in. CPT) Normalized by specimen thickness and batch fiber areal weight to XX% fiber volume (0.0XXX in. CPT) Corresponding cured ply thickness (CPT) values, based on a nominal fiber areal weight, are included for reference for each method. ➐ At the top of each data column are the test conditions. Nominally dry conditions, for materials that are fabricated and stored under controlled conditions are noted. Wet conditions that are not conditioned to equilibrium are also noted. The source code provides a means for identifying data sets from the same source. No other source identification is provided. ➑ Specific properties are identified in the tables with symbols. These symbols are a combination of an initial letter with subscripts and super scripts added as appropriate. Components of the property symbols are shown in Table 1.4.3(b). TABLE 1.4.3(b) Components used to construct property symbols. Initial letter(s) Test type superscripts Property descriptor superscripts Test direction subscripts F - strength ε - strain E - modulus G - shear modulus, strain energy release rate υ - Poisson's ratio CTE - coefficient of thermal expansion t - tension c - compression s - shear sbs - short beam strength oht - open hole tension ohc - open hole compression fht - filled hole tension cai - compression after impact br - bearing byp - bypass u - ultimate y - yield 1, 2, 3 12, 23, 31 x, y, z, xy, yz, zx Property symbols are created by combining these components with test type superscripts preceding property descriptor super scripts. Thus, the symbol for ultimate tensile strength in the 1 direction is tu F1 . The property descriptor superscripts are only used for strength and strain. Exceptions to this rule are strain energy release rates, for example, G1c, and bearing/bypass data where "byp" is used as a subscript for the bypass strength
