Lunch and Learn at China Garden Buffet: Introduction to MMPDS Volume I & II: Data Generation & Analy

When:  Nov 21, 2025 from 11:45 to 13:00 (ET)
Associated with  Dayton/Cincinnati Section
Abstract: Metallic Material Properties Development and Standardization (MMPDS) is recognized by aerospace regulatory agencies around the world as the primary government approved source for statistically valid metallic material and joining system allowables for conventionally produced metal alloys. The Handbook documents rigorous standards and processes for data generation and statistical analysis ensuring that published material allowables have a strong pedigree. MMPDS, Volume I A-/B-Basis values are accepted without further showing for certification of airframe metallic material and joining systems. MMPDS, Volume II is now available, documenting a data generation and analysis framework covering process intensive materials, including, but not limited to, additively manufactured (AM) metals. The General Coordination Committee recently approved two new plate alloys for Volume I and the first additively manufactured alloy for Volume II.
 
Biography: Mr. Doug Hall joined Battelle Memorial Institute in 2017 as the MMPDS Program Manager. Before that, he spent 30 years at Honeywell Aerospace as a stress and material allowables data analyst supporting safety and mission critical engine and airframe components for military and commercial programs. Doug began using MIL-HDBK-5D in 1987 and CMH-17, Rev G in 2011 to develop material allowables and design values both metals and composites used in critical applications. From 2011 to 2017, he supported approximately 150 stress analysts and 350 materials engineers at Honeywell offices around the world. His current role at Battelle includes technical management of the MMPDS program and supporting material characterization, stress analysis, and life prediction on a variety of projects. Doug has a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a master’s degree in Engineering Mechanics from Ohio State University.
