ESDU Metallic Materials Data Handbook

The ESDU Metallic Materials Data Handbook (ESDU MMDH) has been satisfying the requirements of the design community for aerospace structural metallic material properties for many years. It is now the preeminent European source of design strength data and is available in the GRANTA MI or CES Selector software environments. This combination of data and software excellence creates a compelling product for all those using quality in-house and reference data.

What is ESDU MMDH?

The ESDU MMDH started out as UK Def Stan 00-932 following 10 years of data collection and analysis. The database is updated frequently and its current version, Supplement Level 44, was released in 2004. This release contains information for nearly 600 materials specifications in over 2500 datasheets. The properties covered include important complex information such as creep rupture, aging data and fatigue and fracture information, in addition to the standard static behaviors such as strength and stiffness. Further details about the processability of materials are given, with special emphasis on weldability.

Who uses it and why?

GRANTA MI provides a unique software environment for enhancing access to the information in ESDU MMDH throughout your organization. Materials engineers can use this quality reference data set for detailed analysis and comparisons with their in-house data and opening access to a range of information on all of the major metallic materials used in aerospace applications.

Design engineers benefit from the library of modules and tools which allow them to identify appropriate materials for specific applications using design strength data and direct integration with their specialized software systems. From looking up a single material property or datasheet to understanding the fundamental effects of temperature on the strength stiffness and creep resistance of these materials, ESDU MMDH in GRANTA MI is the solution.
