Abstract

In Volume 1, the primary concern has been the determination of the applied stresses in a given structure with given applied external forces. To complete the analysis it is necessary to compare the applied stresses to the stresses that the materials can take at yield and at failure. This chapter is concerned with the allowable stresses for typical metallic isotropic materials used in flight vehicle structures. Some discussion of allowable stresses for composite materials is given in Chapter 10. The primary source for many of the allowable stresses in flight vehicle metallic materials is Reference 1, Mil-HDBK-5c, ”Metallic Materials and Elements for Aerospace Vehicle Structures”. This standardization handbook is maintained as a joint effort of the Department of Defence and the Federal Aviation Agency. Selected tables of the allowable stresses from the 1962 edition of Reference 1 are given in Reference 2.
