Pattern Design and Structural Test for the Involute Construction

인볼루트 구조물의 적층패턴설계 및 구조시험

In order to fabricate a involute construction structure, the pattern design for prepreg stacking was developed. For obtaining the demanded strength in the circumferencial and axial direction of the involute construction and tile proper processablity of prepreg stacking, the shaped pattern method was established which has a calculated length suitable for stacking. We can obtain the involute construction with clean interface between laminated plies and suitable dimension by using pattern design method developed in this study. Test specimens with varied arc angle were designed to test the structural properties of involute construction. Tensile and compressive strength decreased with the increase of arc angle. Tensile modulus and compressive failure strain were calculated under the conditon of transformation of material properties successfully.
