Abstract

High strain rate tensile tests were performed to measure the strain rate sensitivity of fiber reinforced composite material. The composite material was developed for the light weight design of an automotive FEM(front end module) carrier. Standard specimens for quasi-static tests of fiber reinforced composites can be found in ASTM D3039. However, in case of high strain rate tests, it was hard to find standard specimen shapes. In this study, three kinds of tensile specimens designed based on ASTM D638 were investigated to determined the adequate gauge width of tensile specimen for fiber reinforced composite. A drop tower type of high speed tensile apparatus was developed for strain rates of about 15/s and 100/s. Gauge width of 6mm, 8mm and 10mm were investigated. Test results showed the specimen of 8mm width was adequate for the high strain rate tensile tests of fiber reinforced composite. It was found the strength of the composite material increased as the strain rate increased.

경량복합소재의 고속인장시험을 수행하여 변형률속도에 따른 강도변화를 측정하고자 한다. 준 정적 시험인 경우 섬유강화 복합소재의 인장시험은 ASTM D3039에 따른 시편 형상이 사용되지만 고속 인장시험인 경우 표준화된 시편 형상에 대한 연구가 진행되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 ASTM D638에 나타난 시편 형상을 기본으로 몇 가지 변형된 형태의 시편을 가지고 고속인장 시험을 수행하여 변형률 속도에 따른 경량복합소재의 강도 변화를 측정하였다. 낙하방식의 고속인장 시험기를 제작하여 변형률 속도 15/s, 100/s에서 시편의 형상에 따른 섬유강화 복합소재의 인장거동을 측정하였으며 시편의 폭이 6mm, 8mm, 10mm인 경우에 대하여 시험을 수행하였다. 측정 결과 시편의 폭이 8mm인 경우 섬유강화 복합소재의 강도를 정확하게 평가할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
