How does MMPDS 03 differ from 01?
- Thread starter RPstress
- Start date
Do you think it is wise to buy it now or better to wait a little bit longer in case there will be mmpds-04 coming soon...Well you know how it is, when things are not free anymore.....Well, I guess the best way then is to ask mmpds-03 publisher directly...
What is the difference between 03 and 01? Anyone have both and has had a chance to go over them? 01 looked almost letter for letter like the MIL-HDBK-5H I had, I couldn't find a single difference, though I haven't spent that much time (couple of hours total) comparing them side by side.
What was the purpose of allowing a private corporation (Battelle in this case) the copyrights to the publicly funded MIL-HDBK-5? So that the private corp. puts a bunch of money into improving this document, sells it, then recoups its investment? Or to give a large private corp. a boondoggle?

MMPDS 01 is identical in technical content to MIL-HDBK-5J, which is a little enhanced over MIL-HDBK-5H. For instance, J has Carpenter's Custom 465 PH stainless steel, 2000-series Al alloys 2026, 2297 Al-Lith and 2424 and 7000-series 7055. They also sneaked in a titanium or two and a couple of heat resisting alloys. J is dated Jan 2003, whereas H is Dec 1998. This means in five years they added maybe eight materials...don't know how much enhancement they made to existing materials' data.
MMPDS 01 was prepared throughout 2002 and released in 2003, almost the same time as MIL-HDBK-5J. 02 came out in about 2005, I think, and now 03 in 2007.
The history of MIL-HDBK-5 is interesting (to some of us!). I've got a version from 1962, and a copy of its predecessor ANC-5 from 1951. They make interesting reading. There's some historical data from Batelle, who seem to have been somewhat involved from the '50s.
There's also an Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories Technical Report, AFWAL-TR-84-4123 from 1984 about the history of MIL-HDBK-5. A copy seems to be at
There's a bit more stuff at
In the UK the original government sponsored stuff was issued as DEF STAN 00932, which was taken over by ESDU way back when (the '70s?). You can only reach it if you pay ESDU/IHS for access. Does anyone know of any other public archives with proper allowables (A and B basis, etc.) data?

You may mock, but it all comes down to whether it is above zero or above 1, depending on you MS or RF. I bet theres plenty of people who could just "prove" that a group is good enough, thought with such small margins, i would be tempted to redesign rather then rely on such small margins.

You should find ANC-5 at:
If not, try using to search for it.
I've not really tried looking for earlier versions.
