TermsThe following is a list of MSC.Mvision and computer terms frequently used in this Reference and when using MSC.Mvision products.

array A matrix of numeric values.

attribute Attributes contain the individual data values in the Databank. They are grouped together into hierarchy relations or property relations.

character A string of characters.

Databank Collection of materials information in MSC.Mvision database format. You may use MSC.Mvision Builder to construct your own materials Databanks. MSC.Software sells or provides free of charge the Databanks described in this publication.

database A generic term referring to a collection of data in an electronic format. MSC.Mvision Databanks are databases created for use by MSC.Mvision software.

footnote A qualification to a specific data entry within a Databank. Footnotes are commonly used to indicate some comment made by the test laboratory about the value. Typical footnotes would add auxiliary information about a numeric data value. For example, you might see a footnote saying, “Max. observed value, not ultimate” for ultimate strength.

hierarchy The sequence of relations that form the basic structure of a Databank.

image A reference to an external image file.

metadata A superset of text data which applies to every attribute of a specific type within the Databank. Metadata is commonly used to identify the test method used to generate the information stored by the specific attribute. Metadata could be an ASTM, ISO, or DIN test number or some type of qualification to the data.

relation All attributes are grouped into relations. There are two types of relations: hierarchy relations and property relations. A property relation sits at the bottom of the Databank hierarchy. Hierarchy relations form the Databank structure. For example, in the PMC90 Databank, the hierarchy relations are Material, Specimen, Environment, and Source.

scalar A single numeric value (integer or real number).


Architecture and SchemaMSC.Mvision uses a certain structure or design for presenting materials information. This architecture is called the Databank Schema and is composed of attributes, relations and a hierarchy of information. The illustration below shows how the three main parts of the Databank schema are associated. The following paragraphs describe these elements in more detail.

Databank HierarchyThe hierarchy defines the basic framework of the Databank. Each level in the hierarchy is composed of a single relation. Each relation is composed of one or more attributes, which are repositories for the materials data. At the bottom of the hierarchy are the properties or data relations. Properties are not included in the hierarchy.

The Databank hierarchy can be viewed as a vertical line of nodes, where each node is a level in the hierarchy. At the base of the vertical nodes is a spread of nodes, where each node is a table, figure, or image.

There are many approaches to schema design, including attribute naming, in the MSC.Mvision Databanks. This reflects both the historical and evolving concepts in engineering database technology as well as the individual viewpoints of various Databank partners. The following section provides information on currently recommended practices for use with MSC.Mvision software.

Databank Analogy

You can think of the Databank hierarchy as a series of boxes one within another. The arrangement of these boxes is defined by the Databank schema, with the outside box representing the Databank. When you open the Databank box, you see the first relation in the Databank hierarchy represented by several smaller boxes.

These boxes represent different elements of the top level of the Databank hierarchy. Each box is labeled with the same related types of information. In “Databank Structure (Schema)” on page 7, the Databank box contains two boxes. One is labeled

7075 Aluminum, and the other is labeled PH15-7 Mo Stainless Steel. The attribute CNAME (Commercial or Common Name) has the value 7075 Aluminum for the aluminum material and PH15-7 Mo Stainless Steel for the steel.

If you open the box with the CNAME of 7075 Aluminum, you will see three smaller boxes. This is the second level of the hierarchy. The boxes within the 7075 Aluminum box are labeled with the attributes TREAT, DIMS and FORM. These are the attributes for the Heat Treatment, Dimension, and Physical Form of the material used during the materials testing. The schema groups these attributes in the relation named SPECIMEN and defines the SPECIMEN relation as the second level in the hierarchy.

The three boxes in the 7075 Aluminum box all have T6 as the value for TREAT. The boxes are labeled differently for both DIMS and FORM. Opening the box labeled T6 <1.0 Sheet, reveals the next level down in the hierarchy called Environment. In this case there is only one box. This box is labeled “70” and “-0-”. These labels are the values for the attributes TEMP and RATIO.

Opening the ENVIRONMENT box reveals the bottom level of the hierarchy called the property level and in this case two boxes. As before, these boxes represent a Databank relation. One of these relations is a table of material properties (Basis A) and the other is a curve showing the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion versus Temperature (CTE vs T).

Tables and curves are defined as part of the Databank schema but are not included in the hierarchy. This allows for many different types of tables and curves at the bottom of the Databank. Typical tables contain related material properties and notes about the values, while curves show the relationship between a pair of properties, such as a stress-strain curve.

10

Databank RelationsDatabank relations are composed of attributes and serve several functions within the Databank.

• The term relation comes from the fact that relations serve to group information that is “related.” Relations combine attributes into logical groupings. These groupings are used to organize the data into such elements as tables, curves and images.

• Relations are used to form the various levels of the Databank hierarchy. It is the Databank relation that provides the basic structure to MSC.Mvision Databanks.

For example, the TEMP attribute in “Databank Structure (Schema)” on page 7 is located within the ENVIRONMENT relation. The figure shows a numeric attribute named RATIO. This attribute contains the stress ratio for the fatigue data found at the next level down in the Databank. Stress ratio is in the ENVIRONMENT relation because it is part of the external test parameters that determine the results of the fatigue test.

Understanding the Source Relation

The source relation (see “Databank Hierarchy” on page 8) is different from the other relations in the Databank. Hierarchy relations form a path for the user to locate needed information. The hierarchy goes from general information to specific. At the bottom of the hierarchy are the property or source relations. These are the table, figure, and image relations. The source relation serves as the link between the hierarchy relations and the property relations.

The source relation serves as a set of super attributes to the property relations. To make tables and figures unique, the system looks in the source relation for the values of these attributes.

Databank AttributesDatabank attributes are the most basic element of the Databank and are found at all levels of the Databank hierarchy. Attributes define the type and format of the data stored within the Databank. Four general categories of attributes are possible: scalar, character, array, and image. See “Terms” on page 6.

In “Databank Structure (Schema)” on page 7, the top level of the hierarchy had a single attribute named CNAME. In that example, CNAME is a character attribute standing for Commercial Name.

Attributes also store numbers or number arrays. Again in “Databank Structure (Schema)” on page 7, the third level of the Databank, ENVIRONMENT, has an attribute named TEMP which stands for Temperature. The value stored in the TEMP attribute is temperature of the material at the time it was tested. Numeric attributes are defined


with specific units and precision. TEMP has units of Fahrenheit and a precision of 1 degree. Curves and images are special numeric arrays that allow for these unique data types.

Every piece of information stored in the Databank is associated with a specific attribute. Attributes are the place holders for materials data. They are used in the query, spreadsheet select, and pick methods of working with MSC.Mvision Databanks.

Attribute Naming

The naming of entities in a database (referred to as attributes here) is a topic of considerable interest and controversy in standards organizations and with most users as well. MSC.Software Corporation is actively involved in a number of standards activities and attempts to follow the developing guidelines wherever possible.

Because of the diversity of opinion in the materials community on this issue, our approach has been to build as much flexibility as possible into the software, so that the user can ultimately have the benefit of the standardized view along with his or her own comfortable view of the data. You are encouraged to participate in standards activities like ISO/STEP or any others that may apply to your technical community. Organizations like NIST and ASTM have been particularly influential in promoting these kinds of standards.

MSC Attribute Naming Conventions

The attributes at the table and figure (property) level of the hierarchy contain the material properties information that is the heart of a materials Databank. It is important that you give these attributes meaningful names. For this reason, all the Databanks created by MSC.Software Corporation (MSC) use a special attribute naming convention.

The MSC naming convention breaks the attribute name into three parts as follows:

XXXijAA

Property Measured (1-3 letter designation)Direction Measured (1-2 integer designation)Attribute for Direction One (1-2 letters)

12

The three parts are Property, Direction, and Attribute. We call this the PDA rule: P for property, D for direction, and A for attribute. For example, YS11T is a common attribute name in the PMC-90 Databank. Breaking this name into its parts results in the following description:

The following is a list of the properties, directions, and attributes commonly used in MSC Databanks:

YS Property measured is Yield Strength.11 Direction is 11 indicating the longitudinal or

principal fiber (warp) direction.T The attribute is tensile.

KC Fracture Toughness CoefficientPL Proportional LimitN Cycles to FailureNU Poisson RatioSIG Applied StressSN Fatigue StrengthUS Ultimate StrengthUE Ultimate ElongationYS Yield Strength


Metadata and Footnotes The capability to store metadata and footnotes is provided to complement the storage of materials information within MSC.Mvision Databanks. These features are defined in “Terms” on page 6.

Direction Measured Description

11 Uniaxial property in material direction one (longitudinal, primary, or warp fiber).

22 Uniaxial property in material direction two (long transverse, secondary, or fill fiber).

33 Uniaxial property in material direction three (short transverse, interlaminar normal, or cross-ply).

12 Biaxial property in material plane one-two (in-plane or warp-fill).

13 Biaxial property in material plane one-three (interlaminar or warp-normal).

CurvesMaterial properties are often best represented as a relation between two characteristics. MSC.Mvision can store these and other curves where two properties are shown plotted each against another.

Curve data is loaded into MSC.Mvision Databank input files in the following form:

CTC11vsTEMP=-0.446613E+03 0.802046E+00 1-0.417941E+03 0.185336E+02 1-0.365946E+03 0.356135E+02 1-0.312051E+03 0.493530E+02 1-0.239760E+03 0.616020E+02 1-0.158991E+03 0.715178E+02 1-0.416316E+02 0.812928E+02 1 0.105785E+03 0.892513E+02 1 0.253332E+03 0.953721E+02 1 0.400974E+03 0.100156E+03 1 0.530481E+03 0.102755E+03 1 0.675070E+03 0.103694E+03 1 0.843089E+03 0.102478E+03 10.996442E+03 0.970738E+02 4END

Syntax for Curve Data in the MSC.Mvision Input File

The data is represented as three columns of numbers. The first column contains the X values. The second column are the corresponding Y values. The third column is the data point type or plot code.

The plot code is a number assigning a particular usage to each XY data pair. This allows data representations for a number of different curve data types. The following plot codes are used:

Auxiliary FilesIncluded in the delivery of MSC.Mvision Databanks are all the auxiliary files used by MSC.Mvision software to customize your use or view of the Databanks. They are also useful as a starting point when creating your own Databanks, if you have installed MSC.Mvision Builder. A list of these files and their description is found in the following table. Additional information about these files is found in the following sections.

Plot Code Meaning

1 Point on unlabeled smooth curve

2

Point on unlabeled dashed curve — The dashed line plot code can be used for all points on curve or for only a selected number of points.

3Scatter point — Scatter points are shown using the curve’s symbol but are not connected by a curve.

4 Endpoint of a curve or set of points

5 Point on a range bar — must occur in pairs

6

Runout point — Runout points are special points that have an arrow pointing to the right. They are used to indicate that the data continues. A special use of the runout point is the last point on a curve. This forces the runout arrow to be tangent to the curve.

1003Defines logarithmic axes — must be last entry for a curve.

For detailed information on creating your own schema files, consult the Building MSC.Mvision Databanks manual.

Databank Units Conversion FilesThe properties in MSC.Mvision Databanks are stored in a particular system of units. The creator of a Databank selects the default system of units at the time the Databank is initially constructed. MSC.Mvision system uses two external files to control the conversion of numerical values from one system of units to another.

MSC.Mvision searches for a units conversion file at the time a Databank is opened. First, it looks for a units file associated with the Databank in the local directory and then in the Databank directory. The Databank units file is named <db_name>.unt where <db_name> is the name of the database without an extension (.des). If a Databank units file is not found then it looks for the file MVISION.UNT again in the local directory and then in the Databank directory. If no units file is found, a message is issued and the Databank is opened without the ability to change units.

The units conversion file uses attribute names to control the conversion process. Curves are a special case for the units file. The units conversion function recognizes curve attributes as two attributes joined by a “vs”. The units conversion file breaks the curve attribute into its parts and compares the parts to the attribute definitions in the units file.

The units file is a text file using a special syntax to define how to convert database attributes from their default units to another system of units. A sample units file follows:

18

DB SI - Customary$CMD m^2/s 0.00064516 EPS micro m/m 1.0E GPa 6.8947572MOLD deg C 0.55555556,-17.777778SIG_RATIO - 1.0SIG MPa 6.8947572YS MPa 6.8947572$DB US - Consistent$YS psi 1.E+3US psi 1.E+3E psi 1.E+6G psi 1.E+6CTE in/in deg F 1.E-6CME in/in %Wt 1.E-6

Sample Units Conversion File


The first entry is the name of the alternate units system. The entry has the following format:

DB Other_name

Where DB marks the line as a new system of units and Other_name is the name of the system of units. In the figure above, there are two systems of units defined, SI -

Customary and US - Consistent.

The conversions follow on succeeding lines. The format of the conversion is:

Attribute New_units multiplier [,offset]

Where:

Attribute Name of the target database attribute. Partial names are allowed which provides for simplification of the units file. Partial names are discussed in more detail below.

New_units The name of the new units. Multiplier and offset are numbers used in the following equation to obtain the new value:

New_value = Database_value * multiplier + offset

The conversion line in the sample units file starting with YS means that YS (yield strengths) are to be changed from the default database units of ksi to MPa (MegaPascals) by multiplying the numbers on the database by 6.8947572. This example uses a non-unique name to apply the conversion to all database attributes that begin with YS.

Units Conversion Formatting Rules

The rules for the units file are:

1. The attribute name cannot have embedded blanks.

2. The New_units name must start with an alphabetic character. It can have embedded blanks.

3. Non-unique abbreviated attribute names are allowed. Place abbreviations after longer, more unique names. For example, if using SIG for several different types of stress with the same units and SIG_RATIO for stress ratios, which is unitless, place the longer string first, as above.

4. Abbreviations match attribute names only if the character following the abbreviation is a non-letter. For example, if the abbreviation is E, it would match E_T and E11T but not EPS.

5. The multiplier and offset cannot have embedded blanks.

6. The offset is optional (default = 0.0) and is separated from the multiplier by a comma.

7. Up to five different systems can be defined in a single units conversion file.

8. Comment lines start with a “$” in column 1 and can be put anywhere.

20

9. Results are currently independent of case. A conversion for “T” meant to apply to “T” for temperature would also convert attribute “t” for time — better to define attributes uniquely, as “TEMP”, “TIME” (or “time”), etc.

To prevent inadvertent conversions, include unitless items such as SIG_RATIO in the units conversion file. Enter the conversion “-” for the units and 1.0 for the multiplier. This prevents conversion by the entry for stress terms like SIG.

MSC.Mvision Pro (.map) FilesMSC.Mvision Pro uses several user-definable ASCII text files for the customization and operation of the system. In addition to the units conversion files used by all MSC.Mvision software products, two other files are provided with each Databank specific to the operation of the MSC.Mvision Pro product. They are identified as <databank>.map and <databank>.mapping.

The mapping file <databank>.map is read by MSC.Mvision Pro each time a Databank is loaded and establishes the user’s working environment for the named Databank. It determines:

• Column headers for the Query Results window.

• Attributes which are searched by the “common name” query function.

• Attributes which are displayed in the Pro/E Props window and exported to Pro/ENGINEER.

You may customize your MSC.Mvision Pro working environment by creating your own <databank>.map file. The MSC.Mvision Pro software will search your current and home directories for these files before using the default file located in the Databank installation directories. For detailed instructions for creating your custom <databank.map> file, consult the “MSC.Mvision Pro User’s Guide”.

Export Mapping (.des.mapping) FilesMSC.Mvision Pro, Evaluator, and Builder use the mapping file <databank>.mapping to define the material attributes whose values are to be exported from the identified Databank to the preferred analysis program. It relates Databank expressions or queries to the variables defined in the export template. The variables are typically values required by the supported analysis programs. The current release supports the following analysis software:

• MSC.Nastran 2001

• ABAQUS Version 5

• ANSYS Version 4

• ANSYS Version 5

• COSMOS


• Pro ENGINEER

Both the export template and the corresponding mapping file may be customized, and new export templates and mapping files may be created to export to other analysis programs. Please refer to the User’s Guide for your software product for detailed instructions.

Additional mappings have been provided for MSC.Fatigue 2003, LS-DYNA, Pamstamp, STAR-CD, nSoft 2001. They are currently uncommented in the mapping file. The corresponding templates will be provided with the next update to the individual MSC.Mvision Materials System products. Further information with be provided with these releases.

Form.definitions FileThe form.definitions file determines viewing options in the software user interface. It may be customized to optimize the viewing interface for your application. By use of a combination of criteria and categories. Categories may be defined by type or property value limitations. For quick property value comparison or cross plotting, you may change the column headers in the Browser. For information on how to edit this ASCII file or create your own forms, consult the MSC.Mvision User’s Guide and Reference.

Patran Mapping FilesIncluded with the MSC.Mvision Databanks are all the auxiliary files required to export to MSC.Patran analysis from MSC.Patran Materials. MSC.Patran Materials software uses <databank>.<P3/Patran_material_type>.mvtm files to map Databank attribute names to the MSC.Patran material properties needed for analysis. These forms are not ASCII files and, therefore, not editable outside the software. They are created interactively within MSC.Patran. Imbedded within the file name is the MSC.Patran material type. They are defined as follows:

File name P3/PATRAN Material Type

iso Isotropicortho2d Orthotropic in two-dimensionsortho3d Orthotropic in three-dimensionsaniso2d Anistropic in two-dimensionsaniso3d Anistropic in three-dimensions

Suitability TablesMSC.Mvision software was designed to support engineering requirements for consistent materials information and materials information management within an organization. This compiled data has a wide variety of uses within the CAD/CAE environment. The search, sort, cross-plot, and report functionality of the software makes the data easily usable. Several of the products, specifically, MSC.Mvision and MSC.Mvision Pro assist the engineer in assembling the material property sets from a Databank that will be required for linear, non-linear, temperature-dependent, and strain-dependent materials models for use in analysis. Built-in functions can export data to:

• MSC.Nastran Version 2001

• ABAQUS Version 5

• ANSYS Release 4 and 5

• COSMOS

Each of the MSC.Mvision Databanks has been analyzed to determine the number of materials in the Databank that have the minimum data set required to support these materials models for isotropic materials. The minimum data set for each analysis model is listed in the table below:

Analysis Type Minimum Requirements

Linear Young’s Modulus (E), Poisson’s Ratio (NU), Density (RHO), Tensile Strength (ST)

Structural Young’s Modulus (E), Poisson’s Ratio (NU), Density (RHO), Tensile Strength (ST), Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (ALPHA), Reference Temperature (TREF)

Non-linear Strain Dependent

Young’s Modulus (E), Poisson’s Ratio (NU), Density (RHO), Stress vs Strain (SIGVSEPS)

Non-linear Temperature Dependent

Young’s Modulus vs Temp. (EvsTemp), Poisson’s Ratio vs Temp. (NUvsTemp), Density (RHO), Coefficient of Thermal Expansion vs Temp (ALPHAvsTemp), Reference Temperature (TREF)

Structural Dynamic Young’s Modulus (E), Poisson’s Ratio (NU), Density (RHO)

Thermal Density (RHO), Heat Capacity (CP), and Young’s Modulus (E)


The Suitability Tables for MSC.Mvision Databanks identify the total number of materials in the Databank, the analysis type, and the number of materials that meet one to all of the properties required. Included in this section is an overview of the types of materials for which all the data sets are met for linear isotropic structural analysis with no dependencies.

31CHAPTER 2Standards Databanks

MIL-HDBK 5 Aerospace Structural Metals DatabankThe MSC.Mvision MIL-HDBK 5 Databank of Metallic Materials is based on MIL-HDBK 5J, the Military Handbook for Metallic Materials and Elements for Aerospace Vehicle Structures. This document is produced under U.S. Air Force contract with the guidance of a volunteer consensus review committee of experts that meets twice yearly, predominantly from the aerospace manufacturers and metal producers industries.

Note: Note that this is a pre-release of this version of the handbook. All data has been approved by the committee. The hardcopy and pdf publications have been compiled, but not released. The pdf files included with this Databank are from the previous release, MIL-HDBK 5J. If the release status is critical to your processes, we suggest that you leave the previous version of this Databank on your computer for reference.

This electronic version of the handbook is maintained for MSC.Software Corporation (MSC) by Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus, Ohio. The current version represented is MIL-HDBK 5J, dated 1 January 2003, and the MSC revision (mil5.des) is Q2 2005 1.0.

The pdf version of the Military Handbook accessed from within the MSC.Mvision MIL-HDBK 5 Databank provides the textural information that precedes each set of graphs and tables in MIL-HDBK 5J, in addition to a textual copy of Chapters 8, 9, and the Appendices.

Data QualityMIL-HDBK 5 is respected by engineers around the world as one of the most highly evaluated, statistically qualified compilations of design data for metal alloy products available. MSC.Software chose this data source in part to provide a solid baseline for designing materials information software. MSC.Software works closely with Battelle Memorial Institute to ensure the quality of the electronic representation of the handbook.

While the Air Force sponsor and the MIL-5 Coordination Group (of which MSC.Software is a regular member) have been supportive of the computerization of the handbook data, they recognize that they cannot guarantee the accuracy of a commercial product based on the handbook. They have accordingly printed the following statement in the INTRODUCTION of the source document and have asked that MSC.Software (and any vendors of a similar product) reproduce the same in electronic Databanks and documentation:

This printed document, published by the Defense Printing Service Detachment Office, is the only official MIL-HDBK 5. If computerized MIL-HDBK 5 databases are used, caution should be exercised to ensure that the information in these databases is identical to that contained in this Handbook.

32

This approach is wise, as every source of technical data, whether printed or electronic, is subject to error, no matter how diligent the publisher may be. Engineers involved in design, analysis, and manufacturing recognize that they must ultimately be responsible for verifying the reasonableness and accuracy of the technical data they use.

Suitability for AnalysisThis Databank includes mechanical and thermal constants, as well as ample temperature and strain-dependent data. It provides a large number of materials that contain all the properties required to create the material models for analysis programs.

Many materials have values for the minimum data set for linear, isotropic structural analysis. These include the following categories of metals in a variety of treatments and forms:

Basic ContentsThe MSC.Mvision MIL-HDBK 5 Databank currently contains all the Design Mechanical and Physical Property tables from the source document, most of the supporting data tables, and almost all the figures that represent the results of numerous different property tests. These include raw or reduced curve data for tests such as tensile and compressive stress-strain (Ramberg-Osgood), fatigue, percent room temperature value versus temperature for various properties, like coefficient of thermal expansion and conductivity and specific heat versus temperature, and others.

The Databank focuses on the design data and background information in Chapters 1-9 of the handbook, which are (as titled in the document):

1) General

2) Steel

3) Aluminum

4) Magnesium Alloys

5) Titanium

6) Heat-Resistant Alloys

7) Miscellaneous Alloys and Hybrid Materials

8) Structural Joints (Fasteners)

9) Guidelines for the Presentation of Data

• Low-Alloy Steels • Aluminum Alloys

• Magnesium Alloys • Beryllium Copper

• Beryllium • Titanium Alloys

• Stainless Steels • Nickel-Based Alloys


The New MIL-HDBK 5 DatabankMany users of the MSC.Mvision MIL-HDBK 5 Databank are highly familiar with the paper version and prefer to view the Databank in a format which is similar. Consequently, MSC.Mvision has created a version of the MIL-HDBK 5 Databank, <mil5_new>.des. In this version, changes have been made to the schema that allow MSC.Mvision to display the data using the chapter layout in the handbook. The install/extract scripts allow you to select this version when installing the MSC.Mvision Databanks.

To create this new version, two more levels were added to the top of the Databank hierarchy. Users who prefer the hierarchy view can pick through the Databank as they would the chapters of the original handbook. The addition of the upper levels also clarifies some of the ambiguity for materials previously identified only by Common Name. The following information discusses the new schema.

Changes to the Hierarchy

Two levels were added to the top of the Databank hierarchy. The first level of the hierarchy, having the relation name Category contains the chapter numbers and materials as specified in the chapter headings. These chapter headings are listed in “Basic Contents” on page 32. The second level of the hierarchy, having the relation name Type, contains the listing of sub-headings for each chapter and an attribute defining the text icon for access to the on-line MIL-HDBK 5 document. For example, selecting Steel from the top level of the hierarchy yields the following selections:

• Austenitic Steel

• Carbon Steel

• General

• High Alloy Steel

• Intermediate Alloy Steel

• Low Alloy Steel

• Stainless Steel

Selecting from this screen provides a list of all the alloys of this type for which MIL-HDBK 5 has information, identified by Common Name, Designation, and UNS Number. This is the level at which previous versions of the MSC.Mvision MIL-HDBK 5 Databank started.

34

Updating the new MIL-HDBK 5 Databank

Many customers add data to the MSC.Mvision MIL-HDBK 5 Databank. This is typically done using the spreadsheet “put” command. The addition of the upper levels in the hierarchy does not affect the spreadsheet procedures previously used. The additional data undergoes the same matching process and adds the data accordingly.

If you add to the files by dumping the MSC.Mvision Databank and reloading it with additional input files, the top two levels must be added where appropriate.

1. The top level of the schema is the relation named CATEGORY. It has two attributes named MATERIAL and CHAPTER, corresponding to the chapter headings in the handbook.

2. The second level of the Databank is the relation TYPE. It has two attributes named ALLOY and MIL5_TEXT. This is the name of the group of alloys as designated in the first sub-headings in each chapter.

If you are uncertain of the value to enter for these attributes, query the Databank for the CNAME or DESIG that matches the material being added. Then go to the Criteria Selector and pick Material, and the value will be listed in the pick-list. Repeat the same procedure for Chapter and Alloy. Insert these values into the input file above the relation named MATERIAL.

The following is a sample of an input file for 2014 Aluminum, with the top two levels of the hierarchy added. If the entire input file contains only one type of alloy, these two levels need only be added once at the beginning of the input file. Otherwise, it must be added each time the alloy changes in the input file.

These two levels were added to the input file containing data for 2014 Aluminum Alloy


Form.definitions Files for MIL-HDBK 5 DatabankThe MIL-HDBK 5 Databank is provided with three forms, providing versatility in viewing the Databank. The Criteria Panel is the same for all three. The primary differences are in the list of Material Sets.

• The form labeled “METALS ----Metals Data from Military Handbook 5 (LONG FORM)” contains a list of all the relations in the Databank. The view of data in the Materials Browser is limited to the materials for which the selected relation exists.

• The form labeled “METALS ----Metals Data from Military Handbook 5 (SHORT FORM)” contains an abbreviated list of the same relations in the Materials Set, including only the most commonly used relations.

• The form labeled “METALS----Metals Data from Military Handbook 5 (INDEX)” presents the Materials Set in a layout similar to the index of the original paper handbook. Selecting a category of materials from the Index form limits the materials in the Materials Browser to those included in the corresponding chapter of the handbook.

MIL-HDBK 5 form duplicates the index of the original handbook.

Pick a chapter or section of that chapter.

36

Displaying Handbook Figures and TablesWhen using any of the forms for MIL-HDBK 5 Databank, it is easy to view a particular table or figure by its number in the handbook. Simply select the button labeled Source figure number... or Source table number... in the Criteria Panel.

Selecting a figure number reduces the Materials List to include the one material displayed in that figure in the handbook. Select Display at the bottom of the Materials List to view the figure.

To view a property table as it is displayed in the handbook, use the following steps:

MIL-HDBK 17-1A Reinforced Plastics DatabankThe MSC.Mvision MIL-HDBK 17A Databank of Structural Composite Materials is based on MIL-HDBK 17A, Military Handbook of Plastics for Aerospace Vehicles, Part I-Reinforced Plastics. This document was produced by the Air Force Materials Laboratory for the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration. The source document has recently been revised and included as an appendix in the new MIL-HDBK 17F for Polymer Matrix Composites, a military handbook for which an electronic Databank product is currently under development.

The MIL-HDBK 17A electronic Databank is maintained by MSC.Software Corporation (MSC). The source document represented is through Change Notice 1, dated 1 September 1973. The MSC Databank (mil17a.des) revision is Q4 1995 2.0.

Suitability for AnalysisThis Databank contains mechanical and thermal constants as well as temperature-dependent and strain-dependent data. However, none of the materials in this Databank include all the properties required to create the material models for the specified analysis programs. Generally, the attribute which has no value is Poisson’s Ratio. You will need to supplement the data from other sources.

Basic ContentsThe MIL-HDBK 17A Databank currently contains most of the data from the Mechanical Properties tables and all the figures representing the results of the various property tests in Chapter 4 of the handbook.

The following structural composite material types are represented:

• Fiberglass/Epoxy Laminates

• Fiberglass/Phenolic Laminates

• Fiberglass/Silicone Laminates

• Fiberglass/Polyester Laminates

• Boron/Epoxy Laminates

Note: Some of the material products described in this handbook are no longer produced. Even in those cases, the data can be useful when searching for typical properties for a certain type of composite or for historical purposes, such as studying the aging characteristics of structures built at some earlier date.

50

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units are US Customary and follow the handbook in almost all cases where it is consistent. For all strain parameters, micro-in/in is used throughout (instead of % or in/in or mil/in).

MIL-HDBK 17-2F Polymer Matrix Composites DatabankThe MSC.Mvision MIL-HDBK 17F Databank of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials contains updated data to MIL-HDBK 17-2F, Polymer Matrix Composites, Volume 2, Material Properties.

This handbook was developed under sponsorship of the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration with Army Research Laboratory standardization responsibility. The handbook is written by a consensus review coordination group with participants representing the DOD, NASA, FAA, industry, and academia, both national and international. The review process for the data in Volume 2 consists of a statistical and technical review by the MIL-HDBK 17 Secretariat, Materials Sciences Corporation. The results are subject to approval by the Data Review working group, the MIL-HDBK 17 Coordination group, and a DOD coordination review.

The handbook printed by the government is the only official version of MIL-HDBK 17. It is available from the Department of Defense Single Stock Point, Building 4D, 700 Robbins Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5094. This electronic Databank is based on the handbook and is maintained for MSC.Software Corporation by Materials Sciences Corporation, Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.

The current handbook version that forms the basis of the Databank is MIL-HDBK 17-2F, dated 17 June 2002 and the MSC revision is Q3 2002 1.0.

Data QualityMIL-HDBK 17F data is divided into three classes based on requirements for sampling, data documentation, and test methods. These requirements are described in MIL-HDBK 17-1F, Polymer Matrix Composites, Volume 1, Guidelines.

• Screening Data

Limited data obtained for the purpose of screening materials for future use. Handbook screening mechanical property data often comes from a single material batch, with typically a minimum of five specimens. In addition, data from test methods which do not meet handbook criteria are identified as screening data. An example is the short beam shear test for which all handbook data is limited to the screening class.

• Interim Data

Data that represent a larger population than screening data but do not meet the specific sampling or data documentation requirements required for fully approved data. MIL-HDBK 17F interim mechanical property data must come from at least 3 batches totaling at least 15 coupons.


• Fully Approved Data (with B-Basis Values)

Statistically-based material properties that represent a minimum of five batches with at least thirty specimens and meet data documentation and test method requirements in MIL-HDBK 17F, Volume 1. These data documentation and test method requirements are more stringent than those for screening an interim data.

Suitability for AnalysisThis Databank contains mechanical as well as temperature-dependent and strain-dependent data. However, few of the materials in this Databank include all the properties required for the material models for the specified analysis programs. You will need to supplement the data from other sources. This database contains no thermal data as of this release.

The Databank contains following materials which meet the minimum data set to support the materials models used in linear, isotropic structural analysis:

• Carbon/BMI

• Carbon/Epoxy

• Carbon/PEEK

Basic ContentsThe MIL-HDBK 17F Databank currently contains all of the data from the Mechanical Properties tables in Chapters 4 and 10 of the handbook. The following polymer matrix composite material types are represented:

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units are US Customary with the exception of all mass densities (g/cm3) and fiber areal weight (g/m2) and follow the handbook in all cases. For all strain parameters, microstrain is used throughout (instead of % or in/in).

• Carbon/Epoxy • Carbon/Bismaleimide

• Carbon/Polyimide • Carbon/PEEK

• E-Glass/Epoxy • Quartz/Bismaleimide

• S-Glass/Epoxy

MIL-HDBK 17-4F Metal Matrix Composites DatabankThe MSC.Mvision Metal Matrix Composites Databank is based on MIL-HDBK 17-4F, Metal Matrix Composites, Section 3, Material Properties (pre-release, approved data for F). The handbook was developed under sponsorship of the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration with Army Research Laboratory standardization responsibility. The handbook is written by a consensus review coordination group with participants representing the DOD, NASA, FAA, industry, and academia, both national and international.

The review process for the data in Volume 4 consists of a statistical and technical review by the MIL-HDBK 17 Secretariat, Materials Sciences Corporation. The results are subject to review and approval by the Data Review working group, the MIL-HDBK 17 Coordination group, and a DOD coordination review.

The handbook printed by the government is the only official version of MIL-HDBK 17. It is available from the Defense Automated Printing Service (DAPS), Building 4D, 700 Robbins Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5094. This electronic Databank is based on the handbook and is maintained for MSC.Software Corporation by Materials Sciences Corporation, Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.

The current handbook version that forms the basis of the Databank is MIL-HDBK 17-4F, dated 17 June 2002 and the MSC revision is Q3 2002 1.0. The revised and approved data for entry in MIL-HDBK 17-4F is included in this version. For this reason, it has been labeled as release version F.

Data QualityThe quality classes are based on those of MIL-HDBK 17. See MIL-HDBK 17-2F Polymer Matrix Composites Databank on page 54.

Basic ContentsThis Databank is derived from Section 3.3, which contains data for the properties of the neat matrix materials. These monolithic metals are not manufactured by conventional techniques such as standard forging, rolling, and casting operations, but rather are uniquely processed to mimic the processing operation that is used when making the composite. This section of the handbook (Section 3.3.5.1) is currently populated only with Titaniums, Ti-15V-Cr-3Al-3Sn, manufactured by Textron. The data for aluminums, coppers, and magnesium will be added as it becomes available.

ESDU Metallic Materials DatabankData concerning aerospace structural materials are widely scattered and, when located, are of variable quality and relevance to industrial applications. The task of collecting and evaluating all the relevant data available on a particular material property is time consuming and expensive. Even if such a task is performed, the customer often desires to view the design not against some locally derived data, but against what can be demonstrated to be the best data available. They want data vouched for by a significant cross-section of the engineering and scientific community concerned with both derivation and application of materials data. Accordingly, the Metallic Materials Data Handbook was been prepared to meet design requirements with regard to aerospace structural metallic materials properties for both designers and their customers. By serving the needs of many, the handbook accomplishes the task at much lower cost and with a higher reliability than could the individual.

This Handbook is issued by ESDU International PLC, from whom additional copies and other work on engineering design data may be obtained. Inquiries should be directed to the following address:

Data QualityThe methods of analysis and materials data provided in this Handbook are monitored and guided by ESDU Panel M with the approval of the Civil Aviation Authority, Safety Regulation Group. The Handbook is recognized as a valuable source of materials data by the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC), and many of its member companies are involved in continually reassessing and defining the scope and focus of the content of the Handbook.

The current constitution of Panel M is as follows.

ChairmanMr F.A. House GKN–Westland Helicopters, Yeovil


The collection, evaluation, and analysis of the data were originally carried out at British Aerospace, Woodford and are now carried out by Mr A.P. Johnson. The work was initially funded by a United Kingdom Government contract and, since January 1986, has been funded by ESDU International PLC. The Handbook was Ministry of Defence Standard (Def Stan) 00-932 until August 1999 at which time, due to changes in the role of the Ministry of Defence in providing such standards, the Def Stan status was removed and the Handbook was renamed 'ESDU 00932, The Metallic Materials Data Handbook'.

Although this Handbook is intended primarily for use in aerospace applications, both military and civil, it is expected to be of use in a wide range of other applications. United Kingdom Government contracts which involve the use of aerospace materials will not normally refer directly to this Handbook because it does not state design requirements. However, where such a contract calls up the Design Requirements of Ministry of Defence Standard 00-970‡ or 08-5§, the Handbook will be referenced, where appropriate, with a statement that the Handbook provides design data that may be of assistance in the selection of metallic materials. Where the data employed in the analysis of values quoted in this Handbook were provided under a UK Government contract the contract report carries Crown Copyright. Permission to use such data was granted by the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

Basic ContentsThe data presented in this Handbook have been obtained through an extensive collection and evaluation exercise. Sections 1 to 5 give the details of the presentation of the data, their statistical basis and interpretation, particularly with respect to airworthiness requirements, together with the standards of testing demanded. A full understanding of these five sections is necessary if proper use is to be made of the data provided in subsequent sections.

Sections 6 to 12 provide individual Data Sheets for each material specification. Each section deals with a well defined material group. The Handbook contains Data Sheets covering a wide range of materials in common use in the aerospace industry. Although a number of these materials have now been superseded or declared 'Obsolescent', the Data Sheets will be retained in the Handbook to support existing designs. The designer selecting materials for new design is recommended to select materials listed in the SBAC Technical Specification TS95. Within each section, the Data Sheets are placed in alpha-numerical order. (This ignores the prefixed specification issue numbers where they exist.)

The format of the Data Sheets is standardized as much as possible. However, the wide range of materials and forms has necessitated many minor variations in presentation, all of which must be interpreted in strict accordance with Sections 1 to 5. All the dimensional values provided throughout the Handbook use SI units. A list of factors for conversion from the British System of units is provided at the front of Volume 1. For some materials, some of the properties for different forms of the same material are identical. In these cases the properties are given on one Data Sheet which is referenced in the section headed 'Additional data' on Page 2 of the Data Sheets relating to other forms of the material.

Each of Sections 6 to 12 inclusive is preceded by a Location Schedule and List. This is provided to assist with rapid location within the section of material of the desired form and condition. A complete alpha-numerical listing of all specifications for which Data Sheets are provided is given at the front of each volume.

As new data become available, the Data Sheets will be extended or amended accordingly and reissued. Upon reissue of a Data Sheet it is recommended that the old issue be removed from the Handbook, clearly marked “Superseded” and filed elsewhere. This will keep the Handbook up to date and provide an archival record to support calculations files.

PMC90 Polymer Matrix Composites DatabankThe MSC.Mvision PMC90 Databank of Advanced Composites is based on Development of Engineering Data on Advanced Composite Materials, report numbers AFWAL-TR-81-4172, February 1982, and AFML-TR-77-151, September 1977. These constitute a compilation of test data from a major test program performed by the University of Dayton Research Institute and authorized by the Air Force Materials Laboratory and the Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories.

This electronic version of the handbook is maintained for MSC.Software Corporation (MSC) by the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) in Dayton, Ohio. The current MSC revision (pmc90.des) is Q3 1997 1.0.

Suitability for AnalysisThis Databank contains mechanical and thermal constants as well as temperature and strain-dependent data. The following categories of materials contain the minimum properties required to create the material models for isotropic linear structural analysis programs:

• Graphite/Polysulfone

• Graphite/Polyimide

• Graphite/Epoxy

• HMG/Epoxy

• SiC/Epoxy

Basic ContentsThe MSC.Mvision PMC90 Databank currently contains graphical test data and tables of reduced properties and supporting data for the following polymer matrix composite systems:

• AS/3004 (Graphite/Polysulfone)

• AS/4397 (Graphite/Polyimide)

• G-160/6535-1 (Graphite/Epoxy)

• HyE/1076J (Graphite/Epoxy)

• SP313 (Graphite/Epoxy)

• T300/AFR-800 (Graphite/Epoxy)

• T300/F178 (Graphite/Polyimide)

• T300/V378A (Graphite/Bismaleimide)


About Composite Materials PropertiesThe advanced composites materials found in the MSC.Mvision PMC90 Databank are very different from traditional metallic engineering materials. The advanced composites are a combination of a matrix or binder material and some type of reinforcement. The materials tested in PMC90 are continuous fiber-reinforced composites where the fiber is graphite, silicon carbide, or high modulus graphite (HMG).

In a composite of this type, the matrix material binds the fibers together and protects them from mechanical or chemical damage. The strength of the composite is determined by the strength of the fibers, the nature of the bond between the fibers and the matrix, and the orientation of the fibers in the matrix. The matrix also serves to transfer and distribute the loads to the fibers.

As expected, the mechanical properties of modulus of strength for a composite are strongly dependent upon the orientation of the fibers to the applied loads. In most design applications, engineers orient the fibers in the matrix to take full advantage of the tensile strength of the fibers. This also means that each design application of a composite material is likely to be a unique design.

Naturally it is impossible to provide strength data for all possible design configurations. The data supplied in the PMC90 Databank is done with test configurations having fibers oriented in a single direction. The tests measure the strength of the material in both the direction of the fibers and across the fibers.

As you will see from the data in PMC90, tensile failure at 90° to the fiber occurs at very low stresses. For this reason, almost all practical applications of composite materials have the fibers woven or applied in cross-plied laminates with the fiber in alternating 90° orientations. For even more uniform strength, the fibers are placed in 45° plies. The great advantage composite materials have is in the flexibility an engineer has to place the fibers within a part to create a light structure that exactly counters its applied loads.

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units are US Customary and follow the test report in most cases. For all strain parameters, micro-in/in is used throughout.

3 Materials Selector Databank Library

■ Overview

■ Materials Selector Databank

■ Analysis Databank

102

OverviewThe MSC.Mvision Materials Selector Databank Library is a collection of two Databanks derived from MACHINE DESIGN’s 1995 Materials Selector, Penton Media, Inc., Cleveland, OH. The published version was originally compiled from data provided by various materials producers and regularly reviewed by them for accuracy.

Materials Selector DatabankThis electronic version of the handbook is maintained by MSC.Software Corporation (MSC), and the MSC Revision (materials_selector.des) is Q4 1999 1.0.

Data QualityMACHINE DESIGN’s Materials Selector issue is a publication familiar to most engineers and designers as a source of basic information, including typical properties data, for a wide variety of generic material forms and types. It has been published annually for a number of years.

In general, the property data included are suitable for comparison and approximation purposes in material selection and preliminary design studies. For purposes of more detailed design and analysis, engineers should consult the specific material manufacturer directly, refer to evaluated test data sources, or perform their own detailed testing.

Suitability for AnalysisThis Databank contains over 1,000 generic materials ready-to-use for linear, isotropic analysis in addition to abundant information on processing, manufacturability, general usage, stability, and property data useful to the design engineer. For a complete listing of those materials, see Chapter 4 - Temperature-Dependent Databanks on page 155.

Basic ContentsThe MSC.Mvision Materials Selector Databank contains typical properties and useful information in a number of general categories: mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, fabrication and processing methods, uses, composition, physical properties, available forms, designations and grades, thermal properties and treatments, electrical properties, chemical resistance and properties, etc.

103CHAPTER 3Materials Selector Databank Library

The Databank contains over 3,200 material records and sections of general information categorized as follows, following the publication as closely as possible:

1. Irons and Steels

2. Nonferrous Metals

3. Plastics, Thermoset

4. Plastics, Thermoplastic

5. Rubbers and Elastomers

6. Ceramics, Glass, Carbon & Mica

7. Fibers, Felts, Wood & Paper

8. Finishes

9. Coatings

10. Composite Materials

11. Parts and Forms

12. Joining and Sealing

13. Testing and Evaluation

14. Directory of Manufacturers

The MSC.Mvision Materials Selector Databank also includes Section C of the published version: the Directory of Manufacturers and the Directory of Products. The Directory of Manufacturers was added as a separate section in the Databank, while the Directory of Products was added to the tables for each material in the Databank.

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units are US Customary and follow the publication where practical. The units conversion file provided is materials_selector.unt and it can be invoked automatically to convert to SI-Customary, SI-Consistent, or US-Consistent. This file can be copied from the MSC.Mvision installation directory to your local directory and modified to do your own custom units conversion, or you can create a local materials_selector.unt file for that purpose.

Materials Selector Databank HierarchyDatabank entities (relations and attributes) are described below in “Materials Selector Databank Hierarchy”. Because of the wide variety of information represented in this Databank, the schema contains many attributes.

104

Note: Many of the property attributes occur in three forms: the nominal value, the value with suffix _LO, and the value with suffix _HI. This is because some of the values in the publication are given as nominal and some are given as ranges. This implies that some care should be taken when querying for property data to avoid unintentionally excluding some instances. See Searching PDL Databanks on page 212 for tips on querying ranges.

Analysis DatabankThe MSC.Mvision Analysis Databank is based on the MSC.Mvision Materials Selector Databank version Q1 2005 1.0. It is an FEA analysis-ready Databank. All materials included in it contain a minimum data set required to conduct isotropic linear analysis.

This Databank is a subset of the MSC.Mvision Materials Selector Databank. It is included with the purchase of the MSC.Mvision Materials Selector Library.

The MSC.Mvision Analysis Databank is maintained by MSC.Software Corporation (MSC). The MSC revision (analysis_db.des) is Q3 1999 5.0.

Data Quality The MSC.Mvision Analysis Databank, abstracted from the Materials Selector Databank, has as its core data set the information supplied in MACHINE DESIGN’s Materials Selector. This publication is familiar to most engineers and designers as a source of basic information, including typical properties data, for a wide variety of generic material forms and types. In general, the property data included are suitable for comparison and approximation purposes in material selection and preliminary design studies.

Suitability for AnalysisThe MSC.Mvision Analysis Databank is distinguished from the MSC.Mvision Materials Selector Databank by a set of properties for direct export into analysis software. This set of properties is defined in a table called FEA_Properties. All values in this table have been verified for accuracy. Values not found in the MSC.Mvision Materials Selector Databank were acquired from other sources and footnoted accordingly.

Basic ContentsIn addition to the FEA_Properties set, the MSC.Mvision Analysis Databank contains typical properties and useful information in a number of general categories: mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, fabrication and processing methods, uses, composition, physical properties, available forms, designations and grades, thermal properties and treatments, electrical properties, chemical resistance and properties, etc. The Databank contains over 1005 material records as listed in the “Contents of the Analysis Databank” table that follows.

4 Temperature-Dependent Databanks

■ Overview

■ JAHM MPDB Temperature Dependent Data

■ ASM Aluminum Temperature Dependent Data

156

OverviewMSC.Mvision provides two Databanks devoted entirely to temperature-dependent data. The JAHM MPDB Databank targets temperature-dependent FEA data for a broad spectrum of materials; the ASM Temperature-Dependent Properties of Aluminum targets temperature dependent fatigue, creep, and tensile data for aluminum.

157CHAPTER 4Temperature-Dependent Databanks

JAHM MPDB Temperature Dependent DatabankThe MSC.Mvision MPDB Temperature-Dependent Databank is based on the Windows software product of the same name, developed by JAHM Software, Inc. for use by engineers doing analysis. The current JAHM version is 5.33.

The MSC.Mvision MPDB Temperature-Dependent Databank is maintained by JAHM Software, Inc. The MSC revision (JAHM.des) is Q1 2005 1.0.

Data Quality The data in this Databank is fully footnoted as to the original source of the data.

Suitability for AnalysisIn assessing the values in this Databank for their suitability for analysis, review the following notes on the materials properties:

Linear expansion (dL/L) and Thermal expansion (CTE)

This property is fairly insensitive to composition and heat treatment. Notable exceptions are the “zero-expansion” Invar type alloys (Fe-36Ni).

Elastic & shear modulus

These properties are fairly insensitive to composition and heat treatment. Order-disorder transformations may cause anomalous behavior. Strongly anisotropic materials may have a texture effect. Some Fe-Ni alloys are sensitive to the amount of cold work. The accuracy of this data is estimated to be approximately 5-10%. For some polymers, the flexural modulus is used as the elastic modulus. The flexural modulus is typically within 10% of the elastic modulus. Typically, values measured with a strain gauge are approximately 10% lower than those measured with a dynamic technique. Values measured by a dynamic technique are preferred over those measured by strain gauge techniques.

Note: Note: for cubic materials where the elastic and shear modulus were calculated from the elastic constants (C11, C12, C44) the average of the Reuss and Voigt equations were used (see R.F.S. Hearmon, Advanced Physics, v5, p232 (1956)). For isotropic solids (glasses) L.D. Landau and E.M. Sifshitz, in Theory of Elasticity, Pub. Addison-Wesley, New York (1966) was used.

Poisson's ratio & bulk modulus

These properties are calculated from the elastic & shear modulus using standard relationships and in this sense are self-consistent and accurate. The accuracy of this data is estimated to be approximately 10-20%, however since this is a derived quantity the error can be significantly higher. The curves for these properties often show

158

improbable shapes which are most likely due to their derived nature and are not believed to be real. If the elastic & shear modulus were determined in a self-consistent manner, the curves would likely be much better behaved. However, all of the data are presented “as is” from the original references and are self-consistent within this database.

Thermal conductivity

This property is very sensitive to impurities, heat treatment, and mechanical worked state, especially at very low temperatures. This sensitivity is somewhat decreased above room temperature and decreases as the amount of alloying increases. Compare 4340-QT (quenched and tempered) and 4340-NT (annealed).

Viscosity

This property is fairly insensitive to composition.

Specific heat (Cp - constant pressure):

This property is fairly insensitive to composition and heat treatment.

Heat capacity

This property is fairly insensitive to composition and heat treatment.

Vapor pressure

This property can be strongly effected by the presence of trace gases, such as oxygen and tungsten oxide.

Thermal diffusivity

This property is also very sensitive to impurities, heat treatment and mechanical worked state, especially at very low temperatures. This sensitivity is somewhat decreased above room temperature and decreases as the amount of alloying increases. An example of this can be seen by comparing the data for elemental (high purity) Fe and Armco iron (commercial purity).

Electrical resistivity

This property is also very sensitive to impurities, heat treatment, and mechanical worked state, especially at very low temperatures. This sensitivity is decreased above room temperature.


Hemispherical total emissivity (eT)

This is the measured emissivity over all wavelengths and 2PI radians. This is the emissivity used in the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

Normal total emissivity (eT,n)

This is the measured emissivity over all wavelengths at a direction normal to the surface. This is the most commonly reported value. For polished metal the following assumption is valid: eT/eT,n = 1.15 - 1.20.

Both emissivities are sensitive to the surface condition (roughness and oxide thickness).

Density (rho)

The density for solids is calculated from the room temperature density and the linear expansion coefficient and is given by: rho/(1 + dL/L)3. The data for oxides, carbides and nitrides depend on the porosity of the material. For gases the ideal gas law is used.

Tensile strength, yield strength and elongation

Most of the data for these properties are taken from product brochures provided by the material suppliers. These data should be used with the understanding that they are only representative of the actual material properties. The variation with temperature is usually not smooth. Many of these materials are precipitation hardening alloys and the temperature affects the aging processes different ways at different temperatures. Unless otherwise stated, the data are for “short” times at the indicated temperatures and not for the equilibrium structure. These properties are very sensitive to the details of the processing and heat treatments. Comparison of data from different suppliers indicate that the spread in the published values is approximately 10-20%.

Tensile stress vs strain

Most of the data for these properties are taken from product brochures provided by the material suppliers. These data should be used with the understanding that they are only representative of the actual material properties. The variation with temperature is usually not smooth. Many of these materials are precipitation hardening alloys and the temperature affects the aging processes different ways at different temperatures. Unless otherwise stated, the data are for “short” times at the indicated temperatures and not for the equilibrium structure. These properties are very sensitive to the details of the processing and heat treatments. Comparison of data from different suppliers indicate that the spread in the published values is approximately 10-20%.

160

Polymers and polymer-based composites

These properties are sensitive to moisture, processing conditions and may show time-dependence at the higher temperatures. The errors/uncertainties can be large compared to those of other materials. You should use the properties of these materials with this in mind.

Basic ContentsThe MPDB software provides easy access to over 2060 materials and 7220 sets of temperature dependent data for:

ASM Temperature-Dependent Properties of Aluminum AlloysThis extremely valuable compilation of property data for aluminum alloys is distributed by ASM International in partnership with the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA). This Electronically-formatted version of the text provides temperature-dependent values for tensile, fatigue, and creep properties for a wide range of aluminum alloys as tested by the Alcoa Laboratories.

The MSC.Mvision ASM Aluminum Temperature-Dependent Databank is based “Properties of Aluminum Alloys - Tensile, Creep, and Fatigue Data at High and Low Temperatures”, by J. Gilbert Kaufman.

The MSC.Mvision ASM Aluminum Temperature-Dependent Databank is maintained by ASM International, Inc. The MSC revision (asm_hi_temp.des) is Q1 2005 1.0.

Data QualityThe tables and properties included in this Databank provide typical or average values for a wide range of aluminum alloys as tested by the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA). They represent the definitive data of the types represented.

All tests were performed in strict accordance with ASTM standard methods. Individual tests were compiled, plotted in various ways, and analyzed by a team of investigators at ALCOA. The average values were then normalized to published typical room temperature tensile properties of the respective alloys. Analysis of individual data distributions and minimum expected design values were applied by ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code and Battelle (MIL-HDBK-5) specialists.

The values contained in this data set are not intended as design properties, but rather as typical values. This means that these are average values that would be expected for representative lots of the respective alloys produced by commercial processes and meeting industry standards, whose room temperature properties correspond to those of the published typical values for the alloys, such as those found in “Aluminum Standards & Data”, by The Aluminum Association, Inc., 1997.

The property data included are suitable for material selection and basic design and analysis. For purposes of detailed design and analysis, particularly for design of critical or primary load path structure, engineers should consult the specific material manufacturer directly, refer to other evaluated test data sources, or perform their own detailed testing. Although the information contained in these databases has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, no warranty (expressed or implied) can be made as to its completeness or accuracy. Design, processing methods and equipment, environment and other variables affect actual part and material performance. Inasmuch as the manufacturers, suppliers, ASM and MSC have no control over those variables or the use to which others may put the material and, therefore, cannot assume responsibility for loss or damages suffered through reliance on any information contained in these Databanks. No warranty is given or implied as

to applicability of the information. Final determination of the suitability of any information or material for a specific application and whether there is an infringement of patents is the sole responsibility of the user. The information provided should assist in material selection and not serve as a substitute for careful testing of prototype parts in typical operating environments before beginning commercial production.

The data contained in this Databank is subject to the following disclaimer:

BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY APPLY TO ALL LICENSEES.

Basic Contents and TerminologyThe tables of typical mechanical properties of cast and wrought aluminum at various temperatures include some or all of the following types of data:

• Tensile properties

• At subzero temperatures

• At temperatures after various holding times at the test temperature

• At room temperature after exposure to various temperatures for various holding times

• Modulus of elasticity at various temperatures

• Creep rupture strength for various times at various temperatures

• Stress required to generate various amounts of creep in various lengths of time

• Stress relaxation data at various temperatures

• Fatigue data

• Fatigue strengths of wrought aluminum alloys

• Axial stress fatigue strengths of wrought specimens at various stress ratios


• Average fatigue strengths of flat sheet specimens under reverse flexure

• Cantilever-beam fatigue tests

The following provides a general description of terms used. Most of these terms are mapped directly to MSC.Mvision attributes or relations. Some are split into separate attributes or relations. For example, Property Values are a group of individual attributes split into separate relations in the MSC.Mvision Databank. These may included mechanical properties, electrical properties, optical properties, thermal properties, etc. See the individual Databank hierarchy tables for each Databank for specific information regarding the attributes and relations defined for that Databank.

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units the ASM Aluminum Temperature Dependent Databank are US Customary.

OverviewThe Plastics Design Library (PDL) Databanks are derived from PDL’s electronic database of plastics information, provided in both hardcopy and electronic versions. PDL, a division of William Andrews, Inc., provides plastics professionals with detailed single- and multi-point property data on plastics, elastomers, and composites gathered from diverse sources. William Andrews Inc., a leading supplier of materials property data in both electronic and printed forms since 1989, is located at:

These electronic versions of the PDL Handbooks are maintained for MSC.Software Corporation (MSC) by the Plastics design Library division of Andrew Williams, Inc.

PDL data is compiled from various published and limited distribution sources, including commercial catalogs, journal articles, technical reports, materials information sheets, etc. Most of the test data is produced by the material manufacturers. In compiling these databases, the philosophy of PDL was to provide as much information as is available. This means that complete information for each entry is provided. At the same time, an effort is made to provide information for as many materials as possible. So even if detailed test results are not available, information is still provided. The belief is that some limited information serves as a reference point and is better than no information.

Data QualityThe information contained in the MSC.Mvision PDL Databanks should be considered a starting point in evaluating the suitability of a plastic for a particular operating environment. It should not be used as the basis for final decisions, because the specific end-use application, design, and/or condition of use may have added effects on performance in a particular environment. It is recommended that laboratory testing of the specific end-use application be conducted under expected service conditions.

Basic ContentsThe materials included are neat and reinforced and/or filled thermoplastics, thermoset resins, thermoplastic elastomers, and rubbers. The sections on the individual Databanks have a thorough discussion of their content.

Since material description is very important for the proper evaluation of property data, each material is described on three levels.

All materials are separated into four classes: thermoset, thermoplastic, thermoplastic elastomer, and rubber.

185CHAPTER 6Plastics Design Library Reference Databanks

Every material is then identified by generic family and many by chemical name. The generic family name is a plastics industry-recognized name for polymeric material. In the vast majority of cases, it conforms to the ASTM Standard D1600 “Standard Terminology Relating to Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Codes for Terms Relating to Plastics.” For some materials like fluoropolymers, the generic family name is expanded into a more specific chemical name. Chemical names are generated using trivial chemical nomenclature.

Finally, materials are identified by the trade name (e.g., Epon), grade (e.g., 828) when it is available, and CAS Registry Number.

Manufacturers often produce a series of plastics based on the same or a slightly modified polymer. The entire series is identified by a trade name, which is normally registered, whereas individual members are identified by an alphanumeric grade. The grades may differ by molecular weight of the polymer, composition, and color and may be intended for different processing methods and applications. A relatively large number of materials are not identified, have no data on the material identification level, and the warning message “generic” is posted in the trade name.

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units are metric, commonly used in the materials industry and belong to the SI-Customary system of units. Other systems of units available are SI-Consistent and US-Customary. The first is metric and the second is based on English (foot-pound-second) units.

PDL Chemical Compatibility (PDLCOM) DatabankThe MSC.Mvision PDL Chemical Compatibility (PDLCOM) Databank is an exhaustive reference source of how exposure media and conditions influence the physical characteristics of polymeric materials. Data are given for resistance to thousands of chemicals and conditions, including those that exist during weathering, sterilization, aging, and environmental stress cracking.

PDLCOM is based on the PDL Chemical Compatibility and Environmental Stress Crack Resistance hard-copy, first published in 1990. The development of PDLCOM has been influenced by feedback from users of this publication. The introduction of this electronic version using MSC.Mvision software allowed more information to be provided. More types of materials, specific grades within each type, exposure environments, and information on test conditions and results are covered. Emphasis is on providing all relevant information so the most informed conclusions and decisions can be made by the user.

The current version represented is MSC revision Q1 1997 2.0.

The following sections discuss the materials and exposure media for which data is presented in PDLCOM.


Material TypesChemical resistance information for over 900 different material grades representing over 180 material types are included in PDLCOM. The following table, Contents of the PLDLCOM Databanks by Material, lists the contents of the PDLCOM Databank by Generic Family Name:

Exposure MediaPDLCOM consists of over 94,000 individual entries. Each entry contains the test results from the exposure of a given material to a unique combination of exposure medium and conditions. Thus, each material may have one or more entries. The test results represent the chemical resistance of the material and typically include several numeric values and some text presented in tabular format.

The numeric values given are PDL resistance rating and percent change or retention of material properties affected by the exposure. The text supports the numeric values by providing details about the exposure results. A rating value is present in each set, whereas other numeric and textual data may or may not be present, depending on the availability in the source literature.

Over 4,300 exposure media, including over 2,000 chemical substances, are represented in PDLCOM. An exposure medium is identified by name for each entry. Additional data is given to describe the exposure medium with maximum specificity. This data includes Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Numbers (R) that are unique for a given substance and, therefore, are indispensable for a precise search.

Exposure conditions are given for almost all media. A typical set of exposure conditions would include such important variables as exposure temperature and time, exposure medium concentration, and specimen type and dimensions. When exposure conditions were absent from the source literature, this is indicated by posting a “no conditions given” warning message in the test note.

Material AttributesThe first relation, FILE_SEGMENT, contains a single attribute, MATERIAL_CLASS. Thermoplastics are polymeric materials that retain substantial elasticity in the cured state and at normal temperature. They can be softened repeatedly and reprocessed, e.g., by molding. Thermosets or thermoset resins are polymeric materials that retain none or very little elasticity after being cured. They cannot be softened and easily reprocessed. Rubbers are polymeric materials that are highly elastic in the cured or vulcanized state. They cannot be softened and easily reprocessed. Thermoplastic elastomers are polymeric materials that are highly elastic in the cured state but can be softened and reprocessed, e.g., by molding.

The following section describes the use of the attributes assigned to the second relation, MATERIAL_ID. GEN_FAM_ABBR and GEN_FAM_CN_ABBR values are standardized textual abbreviations commonly used in the plastics industry. They are given for most generic family and chemical names for the convenience of searching.

Subfamilies are identified in GEN_FAM_CN by their common chemical names. For example, the chemical names for Polyamides include Nylon 6 and Nylon 66. Polymer alloys are identified in GEN_FAM_CN by the generic family or, when available, chemical names of their polymeric components. The components are listed in alphabetical order (not in the decreasing content order as it is often done in the literature) for increased consistency and are separated by a forward slash (/). The monomers in copolymers are also listed in the alphabetical order and separated by hyphens as in Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene Copolymer/Polyurethane Alloy.

The textual attributes TRADE_NAME, GRADE, and CAS_NO have been briefly discussed in Material Types, on page 187. CAS Registry Numbers are based on the combination of values from TRADE_NAME and GRADE attributes when they are available. When they are

not available and the values in GEN_FAM_CN are sufficiently specific, the latter are used to generate CAS Registry Numbers. In rare instances when values in GEN_FAM are sufficiently specific as in the case of Polyphenolic Sulfide, and there is no more specific information available in other attributes, values from GEN_FAM may also be used for the generation of CAS Registry Numbers.

The attribute FIL_NAME contains names of fillers, pigments, and fiber reinforcement present in the polymeric material. Only the principal component is listed when this information is available. The content of the filler is posted in the attributes FIL_CONT, FIL_CONT_MIN, and FIL_CONT_MAX. These three attributes are numeric (numeric attributes as designated in the above and following tables) and contain values in weight or volume percent (no differentiation is made between these units).

Note: FIL_CONT is used for single values, FIL_CONT_MIN is used for the lower limits of closed or open ranges. FIL_CONT_MAX is used for or for the upper limits of closed or open ranges. The same posting pattern applies to other numeric fields described below.

The attribute SUPPLIER contains the name of the manufacturer or supplier of the polymeric material. Only essential information sufficient for recognition of the company name is provided when available.

The attribute SOLP and related attributes SOLP_MIN and SOLP_MAX contain numeric values for the solubility parameter of the polymer comprising the matrix of a polymeric material. The units of measurement are (cal/cm^3)^0.5. The solubility parameter, which is a square root function of the cohesive energy of a chemical substance, is used to assess polymer’s compatibility with other polymers or non-polymeric substances such as organic solvents and other exposure media. Close values of solubility parameters between two polymers are indicative of a low or negative free energy of mixing and, thus, their high compatibility and the ease of blending. Close values of solubility parameters between a polymer and a solvent are likewise indicative of the ease of solution of the polymeric material in the solvent. This could be either desirable as in the preparation of polymer solutions for film casting, or not desirable because of the likely damage to the polymer from the solvent.

The attribute SOLP_NOTE contains textual information about the solubility parameter, such as the source of data.

Exposure Medium Attributes

The attributes corresponding to the relation EXPOSURE_MEDIUM define the exposure medium and its properties. They are listed in the table, Contents of the PLDLCOM Databanks by Material, on page 187.

The textual information in the attributes MED_NAME and MED_CAS_NO applies to over 2,000 chemical substances with CAS Registry Numbers, over 1,000 more exposure media and environments that are commonly found in contact with polymeric materials, such as packaging films and protective gloves, are posted in MED_NAME.

The attribute MED_NOTE contains more detailed textual information about the medium, like specific grade, form, and producer. For example, it may contain the term “glacial” for the medium “Acetic acid.”

The attribute MED_SOLP and related attributes MED_SOLP_MIN and MED_SOLP_MAX contain numeric data similar to those in the SOLP and related attributes described in the Section Material Attributes above but for the exposure medium instead of the polymer. The attribute MED_SOLP_NOTE is similar in content to SOLP_NOTE.

Exposure Condition Attributes

The attributes corresponding to the EXPOSURE_COND relation contain data on the exposure conditions. The types of data posted in these attributes are self-explanatory from the definitions above. The unit of measurement for the EXP_CONC, EXP_STRAIN, and related attributes is percent (%). No distinction between volume and weight percents is made for the EXP_CONC attributes.

The values in the EXP_STRAIN, EXP_STRESS, and related attributes are mostly for the tension but some are for other types of deformation as indicated in SPECIMEN_TYPE or TEST_NOTE.

Property AttributesThe results of a chemical resistance test are displayed in the Data Viewer, posted in the attributes belonging to the CHEM_RESISTANCE relation. All Property attributes contain numeric values with default units defined in the table above, except for RESIST_NOTE and CHANGE_HARD, which contain text.

The PDL Exposure Resistance Rating in RESIST_RATING is determined using a weighted value scale developed by PDL and reviewed by experts. The rating ranges from 0, worst, to 9, best. Each of the ratings is calculated from the test results provided for a material after exposure to a specific medium or environment under the given test conditions. As well as giving a general indication of a materials resistance to a specific environment, it also allows the users to quickly locate polymeric materials most likely to be suitable in a specific environment. All information on which a rating is based is available in the Data Viewer. The following Chemical Resistance Ratings table, summarizes the criteria used to calculate the rating.

Note: * units are micro-g/cm^2-min** Weighted Value not used in the calculation of PDL Exposure Resistance Rating

After assigning the Weighted Value to each attribute for which information is available, the Rating is calculated as an average of Weighted Values. All decimal digits are truncated (not rounded). If the result is equal to 10, a rating of 9 is assigned. Supplier or manufacturer resistance ratings are also figured into the calculation of PDL Exposure Resistance Rating.

Visually observed changes described in the above table are typical samples of the data available and therefore should not be used as a guideline. PDLCOM contains a great variety of data, and a more representative sample cannot be given due to the lack of space. The rating of changes in the appearance is carried out on an individual basis by an expert.

The value for the percentage of retained mechanical properties is calculated as an average of the available retention values for mechanical properties listed. If the percent retention is greater than 100%, a value of 200 minus the percent property retained is used in the calculations.

Additional information on chemical resistance of polymeric material is given in RESIST_NOTE. It includes information about changes in color, cracking, warping, decomposition, suitability to different applications, and overall chemical resistance assessment. The values in SERV_TEMP and related attributes apply to the exposure

conditions. The BREAK_TIME and related attributes contain data useful for assessing protective ware such as latex gloves. The “break through time” is the time to first detection of a penetrant in the environment on the opposite side of the material sample from the side exposed to the penetrant. To make “break through time” data more meaningful, the lower detection limit and permeation rate for the exposure medium is provided in the LDL, PERM_RATE, and related attributes.

The data in CHANGE_HARD are measured with Shore A or D indenters for brittle and plastic materials, respectively. The indenter type is indicated by the letter that precedes the change value in absolute scale units. The data in the RET_TENS, RET_ELON, and related attributes are measured either at break or at yield. The data in the RET_MOD and related attributes are mostly for tensile tests, and those in the RET_FLEX and related attributes are mostly for the flexural yield strength.

RET_IMP and related attributes contain values for retained impact energy measured mostly by the Izod method on notched specimens and normalized to smallest specimen cross-section area.


PDL Effect of Creep (PDLCREEP) DatabankThe MSC.Mvision PDL Effect of Creep (PDLCREEP) Databank is derived from Plastics Design Library’s (PDL) Effect of Creep and other Time Related Factors on Plastics, an exhaustive reference source on creep properties of plastics, first published under PDL imprint in 1991. Its development has been influenced by feedback from users of this publication. The introduction of this electronic version using MSC.Mvision software allowed better, multipoint, and quick access to the valuable information that previously existed only in the hard-copy format.

Knowledge of creep properties is especially important for evaluation of the extended service performance of parts from polymeric materials. Creep is plastic deformation of a material held for an extended period of time at stresses below the normal short-time yield strength. Creep may render a plastic part unusable as result of distortion or outright rupture. In most cases, the parts cannot be made sufficiently heavy to prevent all creep because of the weight penalty would reduce efficiency too much. Therefore, parts are designed for a certain life span. For this, accurate data are needed to determine how much the plastic part can be expected to deform under service conditions.

In PDLCREEP, the emphasis is on providing data as well as all relevant information such as material description, test conditions, and sample parameters so the most informed conclusions and decisions can be made by the user.

The information contained in this Databank may be used in engineering design equations. The time/temperature dependent apparent modulus may be substituted for the elastic modulus in standard engineering equations to predict the effects of creep and stress relaxation. This data is suitable for use in finite element analysis.

The current version (pdl_creep.des) represented is MSC revision Q2 1998 4.0.

Basic ContentsPDLCREEP has over 1,500 individual property entries for 59 different types of plastics, including over 320 grades.

Not every grade has a complete set of data. However, creep strain vs. time curves exist for the majority. These curves are very important in selection of materials for applications where maintaining of the tolerances is critical. Overall, the database contains 684 of these curves.

In the creep strain vs. time curves, time is plotted on logarithmic coordinate. The curves are obtained by measuring the rising strain of the specimen under constant load over a period of time. Test conditions, including temperature and applied stress are given.

202

The stress vs. time to rupture curves are required to determine the tendency of a plastic to break under an overload. They are useful in selection of materials for applications where dimensional tolerances are not critical but rupture is not acceptable. PDLCREEP contains 77 of these curves.

In the stress vs. time to rupture curves, time is plotted on logarithmic coordinate. The curves are obtained by stressing a specimen under constant load until it ruptures and recording the time of rupture. Test conditions, including temperature, are given.

The creep modulus vs. time curves provide additional information on the severity of the creep. They are calculated from the creep strain test data. As in the previous cases, in the creep modulus vs. time curves, time is also plotted on logarithmic coordinate. The database contains 362 of these curves along with relevant test conditions such as temperature and applied stress values.

The isochronous stress vs. time curves are useful for comparing the creep behavior of plastics under the same stress applied for a certain period of time. The curves are obtained by measuring creep strain at different levels of applied stress at the same time. The database contains 513 of these curves along with relevant test conditions such as temperature and test time values.

The creep properties of a material vary depending on the type of stress applied. PDLCREEP contains creep property data for the following stress types: tension, flexure, torsion, and compression. These terms are posted in the attract STRESS_TYPE. To restrict a search to a specific stress type, the user must incorporate into a query the expression: STRESS_TYPE like ‘<stress type>’, e.g., STRESS_TYPE like ‘tension’.

Null values in the attribute STRESS_TYPE are indicative of the Poisson Ratio data rows. There are 111 Poisson ratio values in PDLCREEP. Many design engineers consider Poisson Ratio values as complementary to the creep property data. Consequently, these values are included in PDLCREEP when available. Poisson Ratios are used for calculation of the deformation of a material with multiple stress axes. Low values of Poisson Ration are typical for hard materials, short load times, and low temperatures. High values are typical for soft materials like thermoplastics, long loading times, and high temperatures. The majority of Poisson Ratio values found in PDLCREEP are for these type of materials. Poisson Ratio is the ratio of transverse strain to the corresponding axial strain resulting from uniformly distributed axial stress below the proportional limit of the material.

Effect of Temperature (PDLTEMP) Databank LibraryThe MSC.Mvision Effect of Temperature (PDLTEMP) Databank is a comprehensive source of numeric data on the effect of temperature and other environmental factors such as humidity on mechanical, electric, and thermal properties on commercial plastics. PDLTEMP is based on “The Effect of Temperature and other Factors on Plastics,” first published in hard copy under the Plastic Design Library (PDL) imprint in 1990. The development of PDLTEMP has been influenced by feedback from users of this publication. The introduction of this electronic version using MSC.Mvision software allows better, multipoint, and quick access to the valuable information that previously existed only in the hard-copy format.

The materials included are neat and reinforced and/or filled thermoplastics, thermosets, and thermoplastic elastomers. The bulk of the database consists of tensile strength vs. temperature, impact strength vs. temperature, moisture content vs. temperature, and dielectric strength vs. temperature curves obtained for a wide range of test conditions. In addition, the PDLTEMP contains a large number of stress vs. strain curves.

Plastic materials are often characterized as heat resistant or as being high temperature resins. What does this mean in quantitative terms useful to the designer? How do humidity and frequency change the performance characteristics of plastic materials? This database provides the plastics engineer a single comprehensive source for help in determining the answers to these and other questions when evaluating plastics for use in environments other than standard room temperature and humidity conditions.

Very little comparative data exists to predict the performance of plastic parts in different operating environments. The only standard ASTM test that gives any indication of the high temperature capability of a resin is D648 which measures deflection temperature under a specified flexural load. But even this test falls short of giving directly usable data to the designer; many variables in processing and service are not considered. This database will help the designer sort out candidate materials and quantify the capability of a material in various short-term operating conditions. Data is presented entirely in graphical format in order to best show how a certain variable affects a particular short-term property of a material.

The current version (pdltemp.des) represented is MSC revision Q3 1999 4.0.

Basic ContentsPDLTEMP has over 1,700 curves of 53 types for 52 generic families of plastics, including over 330 different grades. Not every grade has a complete set of data. The most widely represented curves are those for flexural and tensile strengths and moduli, dielectric constant and strength, impact strength, coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and moisture content vs. temperature. In addition, there are over 600 stress vs. strain curves.

206

The mechanical properties of materials vary depending on the type of stress applied. PDLTEMP contains mechanical property data for the following stress types: tension, flexure, torsion, impact, and compression. These terms are posted in the attribute TEST_TYPE.

PDL Temperature Databank HierarchySince material description is very important for the proper evaluation of creep property data, each material is described in PDLTEMP on three levels.

On the type level, every material is identified by generic family and often by chemical name. The generic family name is a plastics industry-recognized name for a polymeric material. In the vast majority of cases, it conforms to the ASTM Standard D1600 “Standard Terminology Relating to Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Codes for Terms Relating to Plastics.” For some materials like fluoroplastics, the generic family name is expanded into a more specific chemical name. Chemical names are generated using trivial chemical nomenclature.

On the material identification level, materials are identified by trade name (e.g., Toyolac), grade (e.g., 500) when it is available, and CAS Registry Number.

Manufacturers often produce a series of plastics based on the same or a slightly modified polymer. The entire series is identified by a trade name, which is normally registered, whereas individual members are identified by an alphanumeric grade. The grades may differ by molecular weight of the polymer, composition, and color and may be intended for different processing methods and applications. A relatively large number of materials in PDLTEMP is not identified on this level, although they are sufficiently identified on the material type level. For those materials that have no data on the material identification level, the warning message “generic” is posted instead of the trade name. On the hierarchically highest level, all materials are separated into three classes: thermosets, thermoplastics, and thermoplastic elastomers.

The following table, PDL Temperature Databank Hierarchy, defines the relations used in the PDLTEMP Databank. Listed under each relation are the attributes assigned to that relation, a description of the attributes and the default units used in the Databank.

Browsing PDL DatabanksThe PDL Databanks have been designed for optimal performance in both the flat and hierarchy view of the Materials List. Browsing PDLCOM in MSC.Mvision is as easy as turning pages in the hard-copy version but with MSC.Mvision software, flexibility in locating data is greatly enhanced.

The following sections use the MSC.Mvision PDLCOM Databank in illustrative examples.

Using the Hierarchical BrowserThe following sections apply to the use of PDLCOM with the Materials List in hierarchy view. The data in PDLCOM are displayed in the tabular format on a succession of screens. Each column in a table represents an attribute with its name in the top header. The default units of measurement, when applicable, are displayed parenthetically in the header below the attribute name. Each row in the tables represents a different data set. The only exception is the CHEM_RESISTANCE table displayed in the Data Viewer. On it, each row represents an attribute. Each attribute contains a single value. Attribute names are displayed in the left column with corresponding values, units, and footnotes displayed in the three columns to the right.

Navigate through the succession of six screens named FILE_SEGMENT, MATERIAL_TYPE, MATERIAL_ID, EXPOSURE_MEDIUM, and EXPOSURE_COND, respectively, by selecting the desired row on each screen. Double click in the row or select it and press DISPLAY at the bottom of the Materials List. The windows cascade. You can go back by clicking on the name of the desired screen. A screen can be scrolled up and down and from left to right using the scroll bars.The scroll bars appear only when there is more data available than can fit on a normal size screen. Selected data is displayed in the Pedigree window to the right of the Materials List.

The SOURCE information is displayed in the Data Viewer. Since PDLCOM Databank is an electronic version of the PDL Chemical Resistance Handbook, this publication is listed as the value of the attribute BOOK as the source of data. The information on original sources is available in the attribute TEST_NOTE (see Exposure Condition Attributes, on page 198). Also, the Data Viewer provides access to the information contained in the attributes belonging to the relation CHEM_RESISTANCE. To display this information, the user must click on any term displayed on the EXPOSURE_COND screen. After viewing the information displayed in CHEM_RESISTANCE, the user may go back to the EXPOSURE_COND screen, or to the first screen FILE_SEGMENT and continue browsing.

As mentioned before, due to lack of information in the sources used to compile PDLCOM, data may not be available for some attributes for a given combination of material and exposure medium. As a result, some attributes may contain null values. When a given attribute contains null values for all data rows on a screen, the table column or row pertaining to this attribute is collapsed and not displayed by default.


Browsing the Databank in Flat ViewOnce the PDLCOM Databank is opened, a window labeled Materials Browser appears. This window is fully customized for browsing through PDLCOM. You may switch to another PDL Databank by clicking on the arrow to the right of the SELECT FORM window at the top of the Browser. A list of forms, or pre-set viewing options, with the corresponding Databank name for all Databanks existing in your directory appears. Click on the form of your choice to change Databanks. More than one form may exist for a Databank, since it is nothing more than a viewing option.

The Material Browser lets you quickly view the contents of the volume of PDLCOM you have selected. You may:

• Quickly skim the contents:

By default, all the materials in the Databank can be viewed by scrolling through the window on the right side of the Browser.

• Select a chapter:

In the bottom left corner of the Browser is a window that allows you to vary the way you browse the Databank by limiting the materials according to selected properties. For example, in PDLCOM, the second button in this window is labeled “List ALL Materials by Exposure Medium”. Clicking on this option changes the first scrollable column from the “Generic Family Name of the Polymeric Material” to “Name of Exposure Media.” You can, therefore, choose to view the Databank by material name or exposure media.

• View the material property data:

Some material properties may be viewed directly in the Materials List. For example, PDLCOM was customized to allow viewing of the exposure media, the material type, and the “PDL Exposure Resistance Rating” without scrolling across the viewing window. When a material of interest is chosen, you may click on the desired row and then on DISPLAY at the bottom of the Materials List to view any other property sets associated with this selection. The default property set displayed when the Data Viewer window opens is CHEMICAL_RESISTANCE, so all values for the attributes available for the selected material are immediately visible in the Data Viewer.

All information in the Databank hierarchy for this material may be viewed by scrolling down the Pedigree window to the right of the Data Viewer. If other property sets exist for this material, they may be chosen by clicking on the arrow to the right of the Select Property Set window above the viewing screen.

• Close the Data Viewer:

Choose Close Data Viewer from the FILE menu. This returns you to the Materials Browser window.

Searching PDL DatabanksFirst time users are encouraged to browse the Databank first to get familiar with the Databank contents. The user can then quickly locate specific information by creating and executing a search query. To access the search mode, select the QUERY button at bottom of the Criteria Selector menu. This opens the Query Panel to assist you in formulating a valid query. See the MSC.Mvision Builder and Evaluator User’s Guide and Reference for detailed instructions on the use of the Query Panel or access the on-line help.

Creating a QueryIn addition to using the Query Panel, a query can be created in the Query input cell of the Criteria Selector by simply typing the ATTRIBUTE names and desired values connected by operators. The query command is case insensitive and can search character strings truncated on the end and/or front with a wild card symbol (asterisk, *). It is executed when the Apply button is pressed. Only the data rows containing hit values are displayed and can be viewed by browsing the Materials List. This applies to both the hierarchy and flat views.

The operator LIKE is used to input, within single quotation marks, textual values or character strings to be searched in the specified attribute:

MED_NAME LIKE ’Acetone’

The operator EXIST is used to make sure that the data row found contains specified attribute with a non-null value posted in it:

PERM_RATE EX

Using Boolean OperatorsThe Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT are used to logically connect sequential queries. They are executed by the query command in the order of their rank: NOT, AND, OR. Often in a query containing operators of different rank, lower ranking operators need to be executed first. To achieve this and to clarify which query parts are linked to which operator, the expressions are enclosed in parenthesis ( ). Parenthesis can be used repeatedly in the same query, as long as they are paired properly, and can be nested or enclosed one pair into another. Parenthetical expressions are executed first, beginning with the innermost expression when parenthesis are nested.


For example, suppose we want to know the permeation rates of water and acetone in polymeric materials. The query:

MED_NAME LIKE ’water’ OR MED_NAME LIKE ’acetone’ AND PERM_RATE EX

would retrieve all data rows with exposure medium value ’water’, even those without a valid PERM_RATE attribute, as well as all rows with both exposure medium value ’acetone’ and numeric value for PERM_RATE. Some or all rows for water would be false drops because the command recognized the logical link AND between MED_NAME LIKE ’acetone’ and PERM_RATE EX only. Putting the OR statement in parenthesis:

(MED_NAME LIKE ’water’ OR MED_NAME LIKE ’acetone’) AND PERM_RATE EX

results in its execution before the execution of the AND statement, giving the correct retrieval.

The usage of the operator NOT in MSC.Mvision differs from that of AND or OR. NOT is used to specify attributes or textural values that should not be in the retrieved data rows, e.g., PERM_RATE NOT EX or MED_NAME NOT LIKE ’water’. When used to connect attributes or expressions, NOT is specified as AND NOT (see Numeric Searching below for examples).

Numeric SearchingIn addition to the above mentioned wild card and parenthesis symbols, the buttons in the Query Operators box include mathematical symbols plus +, minus -, equal =, not equal !=, less than <, greater than >, less than or equal <=, and greater than or equal >=. These symbols and those listed in the pull-down menu of the Query Panel are used to specify and search numeric values. The mathematical symbols are placed between the numeric attribute name and the value to be searched. For example, in order to find a polymeric material that shrinks or expands lengthwise in water no more than 1%, the query is:

MED_NAME LIKE ’WATER’ AND CHANGE_LGTH>=-1 AND CHANGE_LGTH<=1

Note: The units of measurement should not be specified in a query. They are not recognized by the query command and all numeric values are searched in default units automatically!

Searching Numeric Ranges

Although most numeric data in PDLCOM is posted as single point values, some data are posted as open-ended or closed ranges of values. Comprehensive range searching may present a challenge to the user and therefore is explained here in detail.

The lower limits of ranges are posted in attributes ending with extension _MIN, [ATTR_NAME]_MIN. The upper limits are posted in attributes ending with extension _MAX, [ATTR_NAME]_MAX. Single point values are posted in attributes that have no

214

extension, [ATTR_NAME]. Consequently, values for the same property, e.g., Maximum Recommended Continuous Service Temperature, are posted and should be searched in three different fields: SERV_TEMP, SERV_TEMP_MIN, and SERV_TEMP_MAX.

There are four basic methods for the searching of ranges, differing in precision. Variations may include searching on the single point values within the range. In addition, all or some range limit values may be excluded from the search for some methods. As a result, a variety of queries can be constructed depending on the search method used and range type (closed or open-ended).

The four basic search methods are Method A or “exact” method, Method B or “within” method, Method C or “cover” method, and Method D or “overlap” method. Method A provides for the exact match between the range limits of the retrieved and searched values. Since this is the most precise method, its comprehensiveness (probability of a retrieval using it) is relatively low. Method B ensures that retrieved ranges are completely within the searched range. Being a less restrictive method than previous, this method results in a more comprehensive retrieval. In contrast to Method B, Method C ensures that the retrieved ranges completely cover the searched range. This method is about as restrictive and comprehensive as Method B. Method D provides for the retrieved and searched ranges to overlap in at least one point. This is the least precise and most comprehensive method.

Searching Closed Numeric Ranges

To search on the closed range x-y with the range lower and upper limits (x and y, respectively) included, where x < y and both x and y are real or integer, positive, or negative numbers, the query should contain at least one of the expressions listed below.

For Method A:([ATTR_NAME]_MIN=x AND [ATTR_NAME]_MAX=y)

For Method B:([ATTR_NAME]_MIN>=x AND [ATTR_NAME]_MAX<=y)

If either or both limits have to be excluded, use > or < instead of >= or <= signs, respectively, for the excluded limit(s). The retrieved data rows contain closed ranges of values that are completely within or match the range x-y. For example, if x=10 and y=20, the retrieved values include:

10-20, 12-18, but not 8, 10, 15, 25, 15-25, >15, or <15

For Method C:(([ATTR_NAME]_MIN EX OR [ATTR_NAME]_MAX EX) AND NOT ([ATTR_NAME]_MIN>x OR [ATTR_NAME]_MAX<y))


The retrieved data rows contain closed and open-ended ranges of values that completely cover or match the range x-y. For example, if x=10 and y=20, the retrieved values include:

10-20, 8-25, >8, or <25, but not 8, 10, 15, 25, 15-20, 15-25, >15, or <15

For Method D:(([ATTR_NAME]_MIN EX OR [ATTR_NAME]_MAX EX) AND NOT ([ATTR_NAME]_MIN>y or [ATTR_NAME]_MAX<x))

The retrieved data rows contain closed and open-ended ranges of values that overlap the range x-y in at least one point. For example, if x=10 and y=20, the retrieved values include:

10-20, 8-25, 8-15, 15-25, >8, >15, or <25, but not 8, 10, 15, 25, 5-8, >25, or <8

The above expressions may be expanded to include single point values falling within the x-y range by inserting the statement:

or ([ATTR_NAME]>=x AND [ATTR_NAME]<=y)

Searching Open-Ended Numeric Ranges with Lower Limits

To search on an open-ended range with the lower limit x, >x, the query should contain at least one of the expressions listed below.

For Method A:([ATTR_NAME]_MIN=x AND [ATTR_NAME]_MAX NOT EX)

For Method B:[ATTR_NAME]_MIN>=x

If the limit is to be included. Replace >= with >, if the limit is to be excluded. The retrieved data rows contain closed ranges and open-ended, lower-limit ranges of values that are completely within or match the range with the lower limit x. For example, if x=10, the retrieved values include:

>10, 10-15, or >12, but not >8, 15, 8, <8, <12, or 8-15

For Method C:([ATTR_NAME]_MIN<=x AND [ATTR_NAME]_MAX NOT EX)

The retrieved data rows contain open-ended ranges of values with a lower limit that completely cover or match the range with the lower limit x. For example, if x=10, the retrieved values include:

>10 or >8, but not >15, 15, 8, <8, or 8-15

216

For Method D:(([ATTR_NAME]_MIN EX AND [ATTR_NAME]_MAX NOT EX) OR [ATTR_NAME]_MAX>=x)

The retrieved data rows contain closed and open-ended ranges of values that overlap the range >x in at least one point. For example, if x=10, the retrieved values include:

10-20, 8-25, 15-25, >8, >15, or <25, but not 8, 20, 5-8, or <8

The above expressions may be expanded to include single point values falling within the >x range by inserting the statement:

OR ([ATTR_NAME]>=x)

Searching Open-Ended Numeric Ranges with Upper Limits

To search on an open-ended range with the upper limit y, <y, the query should contain at least one of the expressions listed below.

For Method A:([ATTR_NAME]_MAX=y AND [ATTR_NAME]_MIN NOT EX)

For Method B:[ATTR_NAME]_MAX<=y

If the limit is to be included. Replace <= with <, if the limit is to be excluded. The retrieved data rows contain closed ranges and open-ended, upper-limit ranges of values that are completely within or match the range with the upper limit y. For example, if y=10, the retrieved values include:

<10, <8, or 8-10, but not >8, 15, 8, <12, or 8-15

For Method C:([ATTR_NAME]_MAX>=y AND [ATTR_NAME]_MIN NOT EX)

The retrieved data rows contain open-ended ranges of values with a lower limit that completely covers or matches the range with the lower limit x. For example, if x=10, the retrieved values include:

<10 or <12, but not >15, 15, 8, <8, or 8-15


For Method D:(([ATTR_NAME]_MAX EX AND [ATTR_NAME]_MIN NOT EX) OR [ATTR_NAME]_MIN<=y)

The retrieved data rows contain closed and open-ended ranges of values that overlap the range >=x in at least one point. For example, if x=10, the retrieved values include:

10-20, 5-8, 8-25, >8, >15, or <25, but not 8, 20, 15-20, or >15

The above expressions may be expanded to include single point values falling within the >=x range by inserting the statement:

OR ([ATTR_NAME]<=y)

Searching Single Point Values

To search on the single point value x, the query should contain at least one of the expressions listed below.

For Methods A and B:([ATTR_NAME]=x

For Methods C and D:(([ATTR_NAME]=x OR [ATTR_NAME]_MIN EX OR [ATTR_NAME]_MAX EX) AND NOT ([ATTR_NAME]_MAX<x OR [ATTR_NAME]_MIN>x))

The retrieved data rows contain single point values that match x and closed and open-ended ranges of values that completely cover x. For example, for x=10, the retrieved values include:

10, 10-20, 8-20, 8-10, >8, or <20, but not 8, 20, 5-8, 15-20, >15, or <8

Searching Tips1. It is more efficient to search PDLCOM using a step-by-step method. This method

involves creating a relatively short query using the most important attributes such as GEN_FAM, MED_NAME, EXP_TEMP, EXP_TIME, and RESIST_RATING. When applied to the entire Databank a query with a small number of attributes may retrieve a relatively large, active set of data. Reduce this set to a manageable size in the second step by creating another query with additional or refined requirements and applying it to the active set. The Criteria Selector simplifies this by providing search buttons for these commonly used search criteria. See Search for a Material Based on its Properties, on page 220.

2. To make searching textual data such as generic family and exposure medium names easier, please follow these guidelines:

• Restrict your search to the attributes with controlled vocabulary when possible. The attributes with controlled vocabulary are MATERIAL_CLASS, GEN_FAM, GEN_FAM_ABBR, GEN_FAM_CN, GEN_FAM_CN_ABBR, TRADE_NAME, GRADE, CAS_NO, MED_NAME, MED_CAS_NO.

218

• Avoid searching note-type attributes such as MED_SOLP_NOTE. These attributes are primarily for reference, although they are searchable. When searching note-type attributes use single key words with left and right truncation.

• Use CAS Registry Numbers, when they are available, to find polymeric materials and exposure media (see Section 2 above). When a CAS Registry Number is not available and a seemingly simple chemical name cannot be found, try an alternative name (synonym). For example, if Ethanol is not found try Ethyl Alcohol.

• Use standard syntax in generic family chemical names and exposure medium names.

• If you are not sure whether the search term has a plural ending, truncate it to singular as in “Lubricating oil*”. In general, terms in all textual fields with controlled vocabulary except for MED_NAME are posted in singular. In MED_NAME, many generic commercial products such as Motor oils are posted in plural.

• Use left and/or right truncation to find classes of chemical compounds in MED_NAME. For example, to find all amines search for MED_NAME LIKE ’*amine’. This would retrieve Triethanolamine, Ethylenediamine, etc.

3. To simplify searching numeric data such exposure temperature use these guidelines:

• Search on ranges rather than on single point values in all [ATTR_NAME], [ATTR_NAME]_MIN, and [ATTR_NAME]_MAX.

• Most data in PDLCOM is for normal exposure conditions, i.e. exposure temperature of 23 deg_C.

• All decimal fractions are posted with leading zeros but can be searched with or without them.

• The most frequently posted numeric attributes are EXP_TEMP, EXP_TIME, and RESIST_RATING. A RESIST_RATING value occurs in every data row, is never a range, and is always an integer from 0 to 9.

• The majority of solubility parameter values are posted in the attributes SOLP, MED_SOLP, and related [ATTR_NAME]_MIN and [ATTR_NAME]_MAX fields as closed ranges.


Selecting Chemical Resistance DataThe Material Set and the Criteria Selector are powerful tools available in MSC.Mvision and are particularly suitable for finding and comparing chemical resistance of various materials to the same exposure medium under the same or different conditions.

The Material Set performs a query using the same conditions as the Query command but goes one step further by extracting selected attributes from the retrieved data rows and displaying them in the Materials List in the specified order for easy viewing and comparison.

Examples of Querying the DatabankThe examples below show how some very important questions asked by material engineers and designers in the plastics industry can be quickly and easily found in PDLCOM using MSC.Mvision software.

Example 1.

What types of thermoplastic elastomers have adequate resistance to gamma radiation?

1. Select Material Set from the Edit menu in the Materials Browser. In the Category Edit dialog, click in the Label input cell and type the text “Thermoplastic Elastomers with Gamma Radiation Resistance.”

2. Click on the Table button and select Chemical Resistance from the Database Table List.

Search for a Material Based on its PropertiesThe upper left corner of the Materials Browser window has a box labeled “Enter Search or Design Criteria”. Using the scroll bar to the right allows you to view a number of criteria by which you may search the PDLCOM Databank. Clicking on any of these criteria will open a window containing a list of all the values for this criteria for the materials listed in the Materials List. Select a value from this list and press the APPLY button at the bottom of the Criteria Selector to limit the Material List to those materials which match the criteria.

For example, if the Materials List contains all materials available in the PDLCOM Databank and you click on the Criteria labeled “Material Manufacturer”, a list of all the manufacturers in the Databank will appear. If you are only interested in materials manufactured by Miles Laboratories, click on “Miles” in the Key Word List, click on the APPLY button at the bottom of this window, and close it by clicking on OK. The name ’Miles’ appears in the window to the right of the Criteria “Material Manufacturer”. If you click on APPLY at the bottom of the Criteria Selector, the Materials List on the right now displays only those materials manufactured by ’Miles’. You can now browse a list of only 143 materials instead of the original 5113. You can further narrow your selection by repeating the process for other listed criteria.

Note that the effect of adding criteria is the same as creating multiple queries linked by AND. Clicking on the APPLY button activates the queries. Clicking on CLEAR, clears the criteria.

For more information on the vast capability available in the Materials Browser, please consult the MSC.Mvision Builder and Evaluator User’s Guide and Reference.

View the Properties of Different Materials Side-by-SideBy clicking on several different rows of materials in the Materials List of the Materials Browser and then clicking on DISPLAY, you may view the properties of the selected materials side-by-side for comparison. For example, setting the criteria for “Material Manufacturer” to ’Miles’ and “Exposure Medium” to ’Acetone’ and clicking APPLY, yields only two materials in the Material List of the Browser, both Polyurethane Thermoplastic Elastomers, one with a PDL Rating of 1 and the other 3. By clicking on both rows and clicking on DISPLAY, the materials may be viewed in the Data Viewer side-by-side for comparison of all properties listed in the CHEM_RESISTANCE property table. Scrolling down the window to the right yields a section called “Row Differences” which identifies the differences between the materials as being of different grades and cure cycles.

Printing and ExportAll information may be printed or exported to analysis software by executing the appropriate commands in the FILE menu. Again, refer to the MSC.Mvision Builder and Evaluator User’s Guide and Reference for more information.

OverviewThe ASM Reference Databanks are derived from ASM International’s Material Properties Database System (Mat.DB, Alloy Finder, ASM Materials Data Rover Electronic DataBooks published by William Andrew, Inc., and MAPP published by ESM Software). The ASM Reference Databanks were designed for maintaining information of the properties and processing of engineered materials: metals, plastics, composites, and ceramics. The ASM International (ASM) collects and review material property data for publication in books, reports, and electronic databases. ASM International (ASM) has partnered with MSC.Software Corporation (MSC) to produce this version of the Mat.DB.

These electronic Databanks are maintained for MSC.Software Corporation (MSC) by the ASM International (ASM) in Materials Park, OH.

The family of ASM materials databases distributed in PC format is familiar to many engineers and designers as reliable sources of properties data and technical information for a wide variety of materials. MSC works with ASM to produce and maintain the electronic representation of this excellent data source.

The data contained in these Databanks are subject to the following disclaimer:

ASM DISCLAIMS AND LICENSEE EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT, THE ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS, AND ANY ACCOMPANYING MEDIA.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ASM OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE LOSS OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT, EVEN IF ASM OR MSC HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY APPLY TO ALL LICENSEES.

Data QualityThe property data included are suitable for material selection and basic design and analysis. For purposes of detailed design and analysis, particularly for design of critical or primary load path structure, engineers should consult the specific material manufacturer directly, refer to other evaluated test data sources, or perform their own detailed testing. Although the information contained in these databases has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, no warranty (expressed or implied) can be made as to its completeness or accuracy. Design, processing methods and

equipment, environment, and other variables affect actual part and material performance. Inasmuch as the manufacturers, suppliers, ASM, and MSC have no control over those variables or the use to which others may put the material and, therefore, cannot assume responsibility for loss or damages suffered through reliance on any information contained in these Databanks. No warranty is given or implied as to applicability of the information. Final determination of the suitability of any information or material for a specific application and whether there is an infringement of patents is the sole responsibility of the user. The information provided should assist in material selection and not serve as a substitute for careful testing of prototype parts in typical operating environments before beginning commercial production.

Basic Contents and TerminologyAs a set, the ASM Reference Databanks provide information for the materials specified in each Databank using a common group of attributes and property sets.

The following provides a general description of terms used. Most of these terms are mapped directly to MSC.Mvision attributes or relations. Some are split into separate attributes or relations. For example, Property Values are a group of individual attributes split into separate relations in the MSC.Mvision Databank. These may included Mechanical Properties, Electrical Properties, Optical Properties, Thermal Properties, etc. See the individual Databank hierarchy tables for each Databank for specific information regarding the attributes and relations defined for that Databank.

Material Group General classification; may be broad such as "Alloy Steel" or "Wrought Aluminum", or may be more specific such as "Nickel; Ni-Cr-Fe" or "Stainless; Austenitic"

Country Country from which data was obtained; used if Material Records contains data from a single manufacturer or single standard

Designation Specific identifier for a material, usually from a standard or manufacturer

Common Name Trade name or common American grade

UNS Number Equivalent number in the Unified Numbering System

Manufacturer Producer of the material

Specification Standards Organization, Document Name, Text description (short)

Composition Chemical composition by per cent of individual elements

Product Form Forms or processes in which the material is available commercially such as Bar, Plate, Bulk Molding Compound or Continuous Lamination

Graph X-Y graph of a property versus a parameter such as time or temperature

Temper Short description of processing, sample size, and other parameters needed for the interpretation of property values

Property A physical or mechanical property such as Density or Yield Strength

Temperature If applicable, the temperature at which the property was measured

Environment If applicable, the environment, such as air or sea water, in which the property was measured

Value Numeric value

224

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units for all ASM Reference Databanks are SI Customary. The units conversion file provided is asm_<databank_name>.unt and it can be invoked automatically to convert to SI-Consistent, US-Customary, or US-Consistent. This file can be copied from the MSC.Mvision installation directory to your local directory and modified to do your own custom units conversion, or you can create a local asm_<databank_name>.unt file for that purpose.

This data set is designed specifically to store corrosion data. It contains material designations, UNS numbers, comments, and property values. The material designation is that of a specific alloy such as “316” or “Incoloy 800,” but is often the designation is a generic grouping such as “Carbon steels.”

The numeric corrosion rate is expressed in mm/yr or mils/yr. Qualitative corrosion ratings are expressed as Resistant, Good, Questionable, or Poor. Descriptive text is included with each record describing localized attack, the condition of the material, environmental parameters, concentration of the environmental medium, exposure temperature, and the time span during which the corrosion occurred. The original source publication is also given.

27,735 Corrosion Ratings, and 11,244 numeric Corrosion Rates are included with the data set. Approximately 49% of the Rates are at room temperature, 1% below, and 50% above.

OverviewThe ASM Cross Reference Databanks are derived from ASM International’s Material Properties Database System (Mat.DB, Alloy Finder, ASM Materials Data Rover Electronic DataBooks published by William Andrew Inc., and MAPP published by ESM Software). The ASM Cross Reference Databanks were designed for maintaining information of the properties and processing of engineered materials: metals, plastics, composites, and ceramics. ASM International (ASM) collects and review material property data for publication in books, reports, and electronic databases. ASM has partnered with MSC.Software Corporation (MSC) to produce this version of the Mat.DB series for Unix-based workstations.

The entire collection of ASM Cross Reference Databanks is now available as one Databank, the ASM Alloy Finder Databank. Each of the three Databanks in this collection is a subset of the ASM Alloy Finder Databank.

These electronic Databanks are maintained for MSC by ASM International in Materials Park, OH.

The family of ASM materials databases distributed in PC format is familiar to many engineers and designers as reliable sources of properties data and technical information for a wide variety of materials. MSC works with ASM to produce and maintain the electronic representation of this excellent data source.

The data contained in these Databanks is subject to the following disclaimer:

ASM DISCLAIMS AND LICENSEE EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT, THE ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS, AND ANY ACCOMPANYING MEDIA.IN NO EVENT SHALL ASM OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE LOSS OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT, EVEN IF ASM OR MSC HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY APPLY TO ALL LICENSEES.

327CHAPTER 8ASM Cross Reference Databanks

Data QualityThe property data included are suitable for material selection and basic design and analysis. For purposes of detailed design and analysis, particularly for design of critical or primary load path structure, engineers should consult the specific material manufacturer directly, refer to other evaluated test data sources, or perform their own detailed testing. Although the information contained in these databases has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, no warranty (expressed or implied) can be made as to its completeness or accuracy. Design, processing methods and equipment, environment and other variables affect actual part and material performance. Inasmuch as the manufacturers, suppliers, ASM and MSC have no control over those variables or the use to which others may put the material and, therefore, cannot assume responsibility for loss or damages suffered through reliance on any information contained in these Databanks. No warranty is given or implied as to applicability of the information. Final determination of the suitability of any information or material for a specific application and whether there is an infringement of patents is the sole responsibility of the user. The information provided should assist in material selection and not serve as a substitute for careful testing of prototype parts in typical operating environments before beginning commercial production.

Basic Contents and TerminologyThe ASM Reference Databanks provide information for the materials specified in each Databank using a common group of attributes and property sets.

Following is a general description of terms used in these Databanks. Most are mapped directly to MSC.Mvision attributes or relations, although some are distributed among several. For example, Property Values are a group of individual attributes split into separate relations in the MSC.Mvision Databank, such as, Mechanical Properties, Electrical Properties, Optical Properties, Thermal Properties, etc. The individual Databank hierarchy tables list corresponding attributes and relations.

• Material Group General classification; often broad, such as "Alloy Steel" or "Wrought Aluminum", or specific such as "Nickel; Ni-Cr-Fe" or "Stainless; Austenitic"

• Country Country from which data was obtained; used if Material Records contains data from a single manufacturer or single standard

• Designation Specific identifier for a material, usually from a standard or manufacturer

• UNS Number Equivalent number in the Unified Numbering System

• Manufacturer Producer of the material

• Specification Standards Organization, Document Name, Text description (short)

328

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units for all ASM Cross Reference Databanks are SI- Customary. The units conversion file provided is asm_<databank_name>.unt and it can be invoked automatically to convert to SI-Consistent, US-Customary, or US-Consistent. This file can be copied from the MSC.Mvision installation directory to your local directory and modified to do your own custom units conversion, or you can create a local asm_<databank_name>.unt file for that purpose.

• Composition Chemical composition by per cent of individual elements

• Property A physical or mechanical property such as Density or Yield Strength

• Value Numeric value

• Reference Source of the property value


ASM Alloy Finder DatabankThe entire collection of ASM Cross Reference Databanks is now available as one Databank, the ASM Alloy Finder Databank. Each of the three Databanks in this collection is a subset of the ASM Alloy Finder Databank.

Alloy Finder 3.0 is a powerful tool for quickly finding key information about a metallic alloy:

• What is the alloy’s designation or tradename?

• What is the alloy’s chemical composition?

• Who produces the alloy?

• What are the tensile properties of the alloy?

• What alloys are similar to this one?

This Databank contains full alloy records from three authoritative ASM reference books:

Woldman's Engineering Alloys, 9th EditionWorldwide Guide to Equivalent Irons and Steels, 4th EditionWorldwide Guide to Non-ferrous Metals and Alloys, 4th Edition

This Databank includes over 105,000 alloy designations and tradenames from around the world, along with composition, producer or name of standards organization, representative tensile properties, product forms, and applications.

Search this Databank by composition (you can enter amounts or ranges for up to any number of chemical elements at one time), alloy name, or key words. You can also browse by material type.

ASM Alloy Finder Databank is an essential tool for anyone who needs to identify alloys from composition, identify similar alloys, or update materials specifications for product designs.

The current MSC revision (asm_alloy_finder.des) is Q1 2003 1.0.

9 GE Plastics Databank

■ Overview

■ Suitability for Analysis

■ Basic Contents


■ GE Plastics Databank Hierarchy

350

OverviewThe MSC.Mvision GE Plastics Databank is based on the GE Plastics Engineering Design Database (EDD), Engineering Resin Information System (ERIS), and other internal GE Plastics data. GE Plastics Databank is provided free of charge to MSC.Mvision customers, courtesy of GE Plastics and MSC.Software Corporation (MSC). Users are asked to read the special disclaimer provided below (and with the electronic Databank when accessed with 3.0 and later versions of MSC.Mvision software).

This electronic Databank is translated and maintained for MSC by the Commercial Technology/Commercial Databases department of GE Plastics in Gouda, The Netherlands, and the current MSC revision (ge_plastics.des) is Q1 1997 2.0. This release has been upgraded to include data for U.S. and European grades of plastics and resins.

Data QualityThe MSC.Mvision GE Plastics Databank, in its current form, represents a prototype translation and users are invited to comment on the content and presentation of this still-evolving Databank. The information provided is primarily for material selection and preliminary design work. As those experienced with the design of plastic structures are aware, the properties of polymeric resins can be highly nonlinear as well as dependent on environmental conditions like temperature, moisture, pressure, strain rate, etc. These considerations must be weighed for every design regime, and if relevant, properties should be obtained that apply to the appropriate range of environments. For purposes of detailed design and analysis, particularly for design of critical or primary load path structure, engineers should consult the material manufacturer directly, refer to other evaluated test data sources, or perform their own detailed testing if necessary.

GE Plastics asks that all users read and abide by the following:

DISCLAIMER: This information is provided as a service for comparative purposes only, and in no way constitutes any product specification or the like. The values contained herein are for natural (unpigmented) material(s) only. Pigmentation may alter results. Each user of the material(s) as such should make his own test to determine the suitability for his own particular purpose. This is of particular importance since the indicated data are values for normalized test specimens; values for formed products can deviate considerably and depend not only on the configuration, but also on the molding conditions. Statements concerning possible or suggested uses of the material(s) described herein are not to be construed as constituting a license under any General Electric patent covering such uses as recommendations for use of such material(s) in the infringement of any patent.

351CHAPTER 9GE Plastics Databank

In this prototype version, note that in some cases the only information differentiating two or more curves is the attribute FILE, which refers to GE’s source data file. The key piece of data, like reinforcement orientation, flow direction, pressure, etc., is usually abbreviated and imbedded in that file name.

OverviewMSC.Software Corporation (MSC) provides these Databanks free to MSC.Mvision users. They have been assembled from various sources and consist of typical data used in engineering analysis.

These electronic Databanks are maintained by MSC.

365CHAPTER 10Special Purpose Databank

MSC.Mvision Fatigue DatabankThe MSC.Mvision Fatigue Databank is a collection of typical fatigue data for generic engineering materials compiled from numerous sources (primarily in the automotive industry). Most of the information was initially collected by engineers for their use in design and analysis.

The current MSC revision (fatigue.des) is Q4 1995 1.0.

Data QualityThe MSC.Mvision Fatigue Databank represents a working set of typical data. Since the references are not available, its primary value is for comparative studies, material selection, and preliminary design and analysis. Once the engineer has narrowed down the materials for a design, he or she must verify the property values by consulting the material manufacturer, an evaluated data source, or, ideally, by actual testing of the chosen or proposed material products.

Basic ContentsThe MSC.Mvision Fatigue Databank contains graphical strain-life, stress-strain-amplitude-life, and stress-strain test data, along with tables of typical properties, compositions, fatigue model parameters, and British & US specifications for a variety of material products and conditions.

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units are SI-Customary. The (default) units conversion file provided is fatigue.unt and it can be invoked automatically to convert to the custom SI-Consistent, US-Customary, or US-Consistent. This file can be copied from the MSC.Mvision installation directory to your local directory and modified to do your own custom units conversion, or you can create a local fatigue.unt file for that purpose.

Thermal DatabankThe MSC.Mvision Thermal Databank is a collection of typical thermal property data for a wide variety of both generic and specifically designated materials. The data was assembled from numerous sources, for which references are provided in the Databank if available. Much of the information was initially collected by engineers for their own use in thermal analysis.

The current MSC revision (thermal.des) is Q3 1997 1.0.

Data QualityThe Thermal Databank represents a working set of typical data. useful for comparative studies and preliminary design and analysis. For detailed thermal analysis or analysis of critical structure or components, engineers are advised to verify properties, obtain data from evaluated sources, or perform the necessary testing for thermal properties.

Basic ContentsThe MSC.Mvision Thermal Databank contains basic thermal property data for 647 materials, including pedigree data. Much of the specific heat and thermal conductivity data is presented as curves of property versus temperature.

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units are US-Consistent. The (default) units conversion file thermal.unt can be invoked automatically to convert to SI-Customary or SI-Consistent. This file can be copied from the MSC.Mvision installation directory to your local directory and modified to do your own custom units conversion, or you can create a local thermal.unt file for that purpose.

Dytran DatabankThe MSC.Mvision Dytran Databank is a collection of materials originally found in the MSC/PISCES documentation. This material data has been reformatted as an MSC.Mvision Databank, designed for use with MSC.Dytran. Additional explosives data has been added.

The current MSC revision (dytran.des) is Q4 1998 2.0.

Data QualityThe MSC.Pisces data contained a wider variety of material models than MSC.Dytran supports. Many of these models were translated to a MSC.Dytran format. An example would be from the Pisces “Shock” and “Tillot” EOS models to the MSC.Dytran “Polynomial” EOS model. When a translation has been done, it is clearing marked with a footnote.

Many additional material models were provided in the MSC.Pisces library as commented lines. These have been provided in an electronic form in the Dytran Databank. They are clearly marked as “alternate” models.

Basic ContentsThe MSC.Mvision Dytran Databank contains sophisticated material models for use in highly non-linear explicit finite element solutions. Various components of the material model are represented in separate tables. These components are: Equation of State (EOS) model, Shear model, Yield model, Failure model, and Spallation model. The user may mix and match these various components to create a complete material model.

Currently, the Databank contains no curve data, only tabular data.

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units are in SI-Consistent (m/kg/sec). The units conversion file can be invoked to convert to Metric (cm/g/sec), Imperial (US-Consistent, in/lb/sec), and mm/kg/ms. Also this file can be copied from the MSC.Mvision installation directory to your local directory and modified to do your own custom units conversion, or you can create a local <dytran.unt> file for that purpose.

ExportNo export functions are provided, but the Databank is tailored to work with the MSC.Patran Materials module for import into the MSC.Dytran Preference.

OverviewThe MSC.Mvision CAMPUS® Support Files provide a schema and auxiliary files designed to assist MSC.Mvision users in accessing the engineering and design data provided by plastics suppliers world-wide who participate in CAMPUS®. Each resin supplier provides the data upon request to be formatted for display in an MSC.Mvision CAMPUS® Databank.

Users are asked to read the special disclaimer provided by each material supplier prior to accessing their data.

This electronic Databank is translated by M-Base and maintained by MSC.Software Corporation (MSC). The current MSC Databank version is Q2 1998 1.0.

What is CAMPUS®

CAMPUS® (Computer Aided Material Preselection by Uniform Standards) is a plastics database which has been developed jointly by leading plastics producing companies, world-wide, by close cooperation. All CAMPUS® data is distributed free of charge to qualified customers directly from participating material producers.

It is/has:

• PC and UNIX based

• A uniform user interface and structure for all participating plastics suppliers

CAMPUS® allows you to make an initial selection or screening from a wide range of plastics products for use in your application. You can obtain meaningful and comparable data on the properties of materials, as CAMPUS® requires:

• The use of uniform criteria for the selection of properties, specimen, specimen preparation, and test conditions

• Frequent updating of product data, extension of test methods, and adaptation to revisions in standards

By integrating ISO and IEC standards, CAMPUS® is geared towards international standardization in testing and reporting plastics data. Incorporating the use of current developments in international standardization is a key element of the CAMPUS® concept. CAMPUS® is based on three key international standards: ISO 10350 for Single-Point data and ISO 11403 -1, and -2 for Multi-Point data. CAMPUS® can be used to:

• Inform users about the range of products of all participating materials producers.

• Reference available Single-Point and/or Multi-Point properties of any listed material grade(s).

401CHAPTER 12CAMPUS® Support Files

• Preselect materials for a specific application based on their Single-Point and/or Multi-Point properties.

• Manage and present data on plastics in tables, graphic format, printouts, etc.

CAMPUS® MembersThe following is a list of the producer’s who are currently part of CAMPUS®. New members are being added annually. For an updated list, including phone numbers and addresses, see the CAMPUS® homepage on the World-Wide Web:

Creating the MSC.Mvision CAMPUS® DatabankThe MSC.Mvision CAMPUS® schema is provided to you free of charge to assist in building a Databank to access the data provided by materials producer’s who participate in CAMPUS®. The data is not supplied with the schema. This is because the CAMPUS® producer’s require that data be transferred to you directly from the source. The producer’s provide the data in binary format.

To obtain the MSC.Mvision formatted ASCII input file to load the data into the Databank, you must request the data from the materials supplier, then contact M-Base, and they will provide a method for converting the data. Then you simply copy them to your home directory or the Databank directory in which the MSC.Mvision CAMPUS® schema file is stored.

To create a CAMPUS® Databank, perform the following:

1. Open MSC.Mvision Builder.

2. Select Builder Functions from the File menu.

3. From the MSC.Mvision Builder functions menu, pick New Databank.

4. Select the radio button at the top of the dialog: MVISION Define/Input File.

404

5. Use the Browse button to navigate to the directory in which the CAMPUS® files are stored.

6. Select CAMPUS.def as the schema file to be used to create the Databank.

7. Provide a name for the Databank.

8. Choose the input files to be read.

9. Select Detailed Messages and Write to Log at the bottom portion of the dialog box, and then press OK.

For more detailed information on using the Builder Functions to create a Databank, please consult the MSC.Mvision V3.0 Building MSC.Mvision Databanks User’s Manual.

Input File FormatThe following information is offered as a guideline to the overall input format for the MSC.Mvision input files.

Entering Metadata

Each input file should begin with a section labeled Metadata. This provides details of the test method as a footnote for every instance of the attribute in the Databank. It contains the following:


METADATA Water = Similar to ISO 62; Saturation values Humid = Similar to ISO 62; Saturation values Density = ISO 1183; Test liquid A MVR = ISO 1133O MShrP = ISO 2577 MShrN = ISO 2577 TensMod = ISO 527-1 or 527-2, strain rate 1 mm/min YStress = ISO 527-1 or 527-2, strain rate 50 mm/min YStrain = ISO 527-1 or 527-2, strain rate 50 mm/min NStrnB = ISO 527-1 or 527-2, strain rate 50 mm/min;If yield stress exists Strss50 = ISO 527-1 or 527-2, strain rate 50 mm/minIf yield stress does not exist StrainB = = ISO 527-1 or 527-2, strain rate 5 mm/minIf yield stress and strain at 50% strain do not exist StressB = ISO 527-1 or 527-2, strain rate 5 mm/minIf yield stress and stress at 50% break do not exist Ec1 = IS0 899-1; All strains <=0.5% Ec1000 = IS0 899-1 ChpN23 = ISO 179/1eA ChpN30 = ISO 179/1eA Chp23 = ISO 179/1eU Chp30 = ISO 179/1eU TensImp = ISO 8256 MTemp = ISO 3146, process C, DTA or DSC, 10 deg_K/min

Formatting the Data Input File

The data input follows the metadata. The hierarchical structure of this input is defined by the Databank schema. The input file for the schema design distributed on the Q4 1998 MSC.Mvision Databanks CD-ROM, looks like the following file for each material. There are numerous shortcuts that can be used in creating an input file that are not detailed here. For more information, see Building MSC.Mvision Databanks.

DisclaimersEach individual producer provides its own disclaimer. It can be viewed in the Materials List for each manufacturer.

To read the disclaimer for a particular materials manufacturer, simply move the cursor over the document icon in the list labeled “Disclaimer” and double click.

Creating a Disclaimer

The manufacturer’s disclaimers are provided by the individual companies. To make them readable inside the Databank in the manner described above, a text file must be created for each disclaimer. The text file has the name COMPANY_NAME.doc. The name of this text file with its complete path is referenced in the input file as the value of the attribute named Disclaimer.

For example, the disclaimer for Dow Plastics, USA is stored in a text file named DOW.doc, which is stored in a subdirectory of the Databank directory called CAMPUS.docs. The input file looks like this:

Data QualityThe CAMPUS® data is provided primarily for material selection and preliminary design work. As those experienced with the design of plastic structures are aware, the properties of polymeric resins can be highly nonlinear, as well as dependent on environmental conditions like temperature, moisture, pressure, strain rate, etc. These considerations must be weighed for every design regime, and if relevant, properties should be obtained that apply to the appropriate range of environments.

For purposes of detailed design and analysis, particularly for design of critical or primary load path structure, engineers should consult the material manufacturer directly, refer to other evaluated test data sources, or perform their own detailed testing, if necessary.

MANUFACTURER Company = Dow Chemical Disclaimer = CAMPUS.docs/DOW.docEND

Referencing Disclaimers in the Input Files


Basic ContentsThe CAMPUS® data currently consists of extensive graphical test data, typical properties, and useful technical and application-related information for the products sold by CAMPUS® vendors.

Default Units and Units ConversionThe default units are SI-Customary. The units conversion file provided is CAMPUS.unt and it can be invoked automatically to convert to the custom SI-mm, SI-m, US-Customary, or US-Consistent. Also this file can be copied from the MSC.Mvision installation directory to your local directory and modified to do your own custom units conversion, or you can create a local CAMPUS.unt file for that purpose.

■ Overview

■ Cross Reference Tables

OverviewNaming of entities in a database (referred to as attributes here) is a topic of considerable interest and controversy in standards organizations and with most users as well. MSC.Software Corporation is actively involved in a number of standards activities and attempts to follow the developing guidelines wherever possible.

Because of the diversity of opinion in the materials community on this issue, our approach has been to build as much flexibility as possible into the software. This ultimately gives the user the benefit of the standardized view along with his or her own comfortable view of the data. This is an evolving process, so watch for future developments related to this area of technology.

This chapter provides a cross-reference to the attribute name used in the Databanks included in the Q3 1999 MSC.Mvision Materials Databanks. As a resource it should assist you in querying across Databanks if you are uncertain what the attribute name may be.

In many Databanks, you will find more than one attribute listed for a property. You may want to query on all of them, or check the Databank for the specific definition of that attribute. Note, that many of the attributes, primarily in Materials Selector, have high and low values associated with them to define the range of values applicable to that material. Materials Selector appends the attribute name with the suffix _HI and _LO to define numeric ranges.

Cross Reference TablesThe following two tables contain a list of the most common properties, the relation they are located under in each Databank, and a list of the attributes used for that property in each Databank:

Table , “Cross-Reference for Mil5, Mil17A, Mil17F, PMC90, Material Selector, and ASM Databanks,” on page 419

Table , “Cross-Reference for the Producer’s Databanks, PDL Databanks, and GE Plastics,” on page 425.

Attributes that relate to text, processing, manufacturability, feature, forms, etc., have not been included in the Thesaurus.
