Recently, the wide range of the composite materials is used for the making airplanes, trains and automobiles body for the lightweight. Despite having complex structures, composite materials usually have well defined mechanical characteristics. However, composite materials are difficult to understand the fracture mechanism clearly by simple mechanical test. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) combined with mechanical testing can play a more important role and especially Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) would become known to be a useful tool to assess damage and fracture behavior of composites. In this study The experiment was performed to acquire the acoustic emission signal during tensile test using unidirectional CFRP specimen and the data was analyzed the acoustic emission parameters with the waveform.

The main applications of CFRP are sports, aerospace and general industrial uses including automobiles. As this application fields expands the opportunity of machining, but CFRP is difficult to cut because of delamination of the composites and the short tool life. In this paper, the machinability of multidirectional CFRP by means of ultrasonic vibration cutting, which has been verified experimentally investigated.The experimentally to be highly effective in view of cutting force and surface quality.

Composite materials are widely used to make all kinds of machine parts, internal and structural materials of cars, aerospace industries, building structures, ship materials, sporting goods and others. It is worth the while to use composite materials as various substitutions when compared with others. But the use is limited in the field of the mechanical processing because of its difficulties in processing. Thus, it is proved that the surface is rough in and out of the hole processing the GFRP with HSS drill in the vertical machining center.

In the use of glass fiber reinforced plastics it is often necessary to cutting the components, but the cutting GFRP is often made difficult by the delamination of composites and the short tool life. In this paper, the machinability of GFRP by mean of tool materials and type was experimentally investigated. By proper selection of cutting tool material and type excellent machining of this workpiece is achieved. The surface quality relate closely with the feed rate and cutting tools.

The CFRP composite has a lot of merits such as mechanical characteristic, light and thermal resistance. For these merits, CFRP is applied to so many industrial area. In order to use the composite materials in the aircraft structures or machine elements, accurate surfaces for bearing mounting or joints must be provided, which require precise, machining. In this study, the specimens differentiating the stacking sequence of 5kinds were used. When drilling the carbon fiber reinforced plastics, it was checked on whether the stacking sequence reached any effect on the cutting force. Also relationship between the drill diameter is examined from the drilling experiment, which is the drilling of Fabric, Unidirectional specimen with ∅6mm, ∅10mm, ∅12mm cemented carbide drill. Considering cutting force and drilling diameter, the results are analyzed.

Characteristics of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheet depend on the quantity and shape of fibers. During a molding process of composites, the fiber-maxtrix separation and fober orientation are caused by the flow during the molding process. As a result, the product tends to be nonhomogeneous and anisotropic. Hence, it is very important to clarify the relations between separation-orientation and molding conditions. The correlation between the separation and the orientation have to be clarified for designing the fiber structure. In this paper, the degree of nonhomogeneity which is a measure of the separation is obtained using one-dimensional rectangular shaped part compression molding. And the orientation function is defined and measured by the image processing using soft X-rayed photograph and image scammer. Correlation between the degree of nonhomogeneity and the orientation function is discussed.

최근 플라스틱 제품의 사용후 폐기에서 발생 되는 환경적인 문제점들이 대두 되고 있는 가운데, 이러한 제품에 대한 친환경적인 재료 설계에 대한 요구가 거세지고 있는 실정으로 플라스틱 업계의 사활이 걸릴 정도의 중요한 문제로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 플라스틱 제품의 치명적인 환경적인 문제점을 극복하고자, Matrix 물질이 되는 플라스틱에서 부터 친 환경적인 생분해성 수지를 사용하면서, 물성의 강화제로써 천연물 유래의 여러 종류의 섬유를 사용하고자 하였다.가장 보편화된 생분해성 플라스틱인 지방족 폴리에스테르 계통의 생분해성 수지와 Polylactic acid에 대해 검토를 하였다. 지방족 폴리에스테르 의 경우는 기존 플라스틱 제품과 비교해서 유연하고, 신장율이 높고, PLA 대비 내열 사용한계 온도도 높아서 물성적인 측면에서 상당한 장점을 가지고는 있으나 가격이 매우 고가이므로, 기존 플라스틱을 대체하는 것에는 문제점이 있다. 반면 PLA의 경우 지방족 폴리에스테르 대비 절반 이하의 가격이고 기계적 강도 또한 매우 높기 때문에 기존의 플라스틱을 대체할 수 있는 가장 유력한 물질로 대두 되고 있으나, 사출물과 같은 충격이 요구되는 제품에 있어서는 PLA 고유의 약한 취성이 가장 큰 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 PLA를 기반으로 PLA의 장점이 기계적 강성을 유지하면서, 취성을 보완하기 위해 PBS를 혼합 할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였으며, 또한 원재료의 Cost를 줄이고, PBS 혼합에 따른 PLA의 기계적 강도 감소를 보완하기 위해 천연물 유래의 Wood fiber, Starch, Bamboo fiber, Cellulose fiber, Paper fiber 와 같은 각종 천연 Filler를 사용하여 기계적 기계적 강도 감소를 최소화 하였다.

Owing to the global energy crisis, studies have strongly focused on realizing energy savings through vehicle weight reduction using light metal alloys or polymer composites. Polymer composites afford many advantages including enabling the fabrication of complex shapes by injection molding, and glass and carbon fibers offer improved mechanical properties. However, the high temperature in an engine room and the high humidity during the rainy season can degrade the mechanical properties of the polymer. In this study, the mechanical properties of injection-molded glass-fiber-reinforced polymer were assessed at a temperature of $85^{\circ}C$ and the maximum moisture absorption conditions. The result showed a 23% reduction in the maximum tensile strength under high temperature, 30% reduction under maximum moisture absorption, and 70% reduction under both heat and moisture conditions. For material selection during the design process, the effects of high temperature and high humidity should be considered.
