본 연구에서는 온도의 상승에 의하여 부피가 팽창하는 열팽창 고무 치공구의 팽창 특성을 이용하여 열경화성 복합재료를 경화하고 압축하는 과정을 실험과 모델링을 통하여 해석하였으며, 열가소성 복합재료의 함침공정을 연구하였다. 열팽창 고무치공구가 사용되는 닫힌계와 열린계에서 예상되는 압력을 이론적으로 유도하였고, 경화가 수반되는 과정에 있어서는 실험을 통하여 열팽창치공구와 프리프레그가 나타내는 압력을 측정하였다. 온도가 상승하고 경화가 수반되는 경우에 등속도 압축실험에 의하여 얻어지는 응력-변형율 곡선은 비선형점탄성 특성을 보여주었는데, 본 연구에서는 Maxwell모델을 KWW(Kohlrausch-Williame-Watts)식으로 변형시킨 모델식을 이용하여 이를 매우 정확하게 표현할 수 있었다. 또한 고무치공구를 이용하여 열가소성 수지의 복합재료 성형공정을 실험하였고, 중성자 레디오그래피 촬영을 통하여 기공의 분포를 관찰하였다.

In this paper the cure cycle of carbon fiber/phenolic resin was investigated by the Taguchi Method in an experimental design. Experiments were systematically performed using $L_{18}(2^1 \times 3_7)$ orthorgonal array table of the experimental design. In the experimental design, eight compression molding parameters (heating rate, pressing temperature, pressing rate, molding pressure, curing temperature, dwell time at curing temperature, cooling rate and degassing) were considered and the effects of the parameters on the flexural strength and the apparent porosity of carbon fiber/phenolic composites were investigated. The analysis of variance for the experimental results indicated that molding pressure and curing temperature are the most significant parmeters in the flexural strength and the apparent porosity of carbon fiber/phenolic resin composites, respectively.

Adhesive joints have been widely used for fastening thin adherends because they can distribute the load over a larger area than mechanical joints, require no hole, add very little weight to the structure and have superior fatigue resistance. However, the fatigue characteristics of adhesive joints are much affected by applied pressure during curing operation because actual curing temperature is changed by applied pressure and the adhesion characteristics of adhesives are very sensitive to manufacturing conditions. In this study, cure monitoring and torsional fatigue tests of adhesive joints with an epoxy adhesive were performed in order to investigate the effects of the applied pressure during curing operation. From the experiments, it was found that the actual curing temperature increased as the applied pressure increased, which increased residual thermal stress in the adhesive layer. Therefore, the fatigue life decreased as the applied pressure increased because the mean stress during fatigue tests increased due to the residual thermal stress.

단열용도의 폴리우레탄 미세포 포움의 가공에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 미세포 구조 를 얻기 위해서는 핵생성율을 증진시키고 균일한 분포의 기포를 생성시켜야 한다. 이를 위 해 이산화탄소 기체를 풀리올과 이소시아네이트에 각각 과포화시키고 충돌혼합하여 초음파 가진을 적용하였다. 이산화탄소 기체가 수지 내부에서 기포 내부로 확산함에 따라 기포의 성장이 조절된다고 가정하고 금형이 충전되는 동안에 금형 내부에서의 기포성장기구를 이해 하기 위하여 수치적인 방법으로 이론적 연구를 수행하였다. 경화 시간과 확산 경계를 고려 하여 최종적인 기포의 크기를 계산하였으며 반응속도론을 고려하여 중합반응동안의 폴리우 레탄의 점도의 변화를 예측하고 경화 시간을 결정하였다. 실험적으로 결정된 기체 분자수를 기준으로 하여 이론적으로 확산경계를 예측하였다. 화학적 발포제인 물과 함께 물리적 발포 제인 이산화탄소를 각각 1,2,3기압의 포화압력으로 변화시키면서 폴리올과 이소시아네이트에 포화시켜 폴리우레탄 포움을 제작하고 제작된 포움의 밀도, 열전도도, 및 기포의 수와 지름 을 측정하였다. 측정된 결과로부터 이산화탄소의 포화압력과 초음파 가진이 포움의 기포핵 생성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다.

Recently there have been many concerns on structural integrity of nuclear piping under seismic loadings. In terms of failure of nuclear piping due to seismic loadings, an important failure mechanism is low cycle fatigue with large cyclic displacements. To investigate the effects of seismic loading on low cycle fatigue behavior of nuclear piping, the cyclic behavior of materials and nuclear piping needs to be accurately estimated. In this paper, the non-linear finite element (FE) analyses have been carried out to evaluate the effects of three different cyclic hardening models on cyclic behavior of materials and nuclear piping, such as isotropic hardening, kinematic hardening and combined hardening.

퓨란수지로부터 유리질 탄소를 제조하였다. 유리질 탄소의 제조시, 사용된 수지가 경화 및 탄화 단계에서 많은 양의 가스를 방출하면서 큰 수축이 발생하여 크랙을 형성하고 휨 현상을 일으킨다. 이런 현상을 감소시키기 위하여 본 실험에서는 경화단계에서 압력을 가하고, 가열속도를 매우 느리게 하였다. 또한, 경화단계에서 무게감소와 수축율을 억제하고, 발생하는 가스의 배출을 용이하게 하여 궁극적으로는 시편의 크랙 및 휨 현상을 방지하고자 필러와 알콜을 첨가하였다. 그 결과, 무게감소와 수축을 억제하고 밀도의 증가를 가져왔고 유리질 탄소를 용이하게 제조할 수 있었으나 알코올을 첨가한 경우 필러의 양이 증가할수록 높은 비저항 값과 낮은 강도값을 나타내었다. 이런 현상은 알코올이 경화단계에서 분해 증발하면서 미세한 기포를 형성하고 이것들이 기공으로 전이하여 최종 제품에까지 영향을 주었기 때문이다.

Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a mass production process that allows the fabrication of composites ranging in size from small to large. Recently, fast curing resins with a curing time of less than about 10 minutes have been used in the automotive and aerospace industries. The viscosity of resin is bound up with the degree of cure, and it can be changed rapidly in the fast-cure resin system during the mold filling process. Therefore, it is advantageous to experimentally measure and evaluate the degree of cure because it requires much effort to predict the flow characteristics and cure of the fast curing resin. DMA and dielectric technique are the typical methods to measure the degree of cure of composite materials. In this paper, the resin flow and degree of cure were measured through the multi-channel dielectric system. A total of 8 channels of dielectric sensors were used and resin flow and degree of cure were measured and compared with each other under various pressure conditions.

In this study, void behavior of composite laminate by local internal pressure gradient due to structural geometry and surface film application condition was experimentally evaluated through fabrication of spar/skin integrated structure specimens. Viscosity comparison and thermal analysis for both carbon fiber prepreg and surface film were conducted and cure characteristic and rate difference were analyzed. 2 types of spar/skin integrated structural specimens were prepared based on different application condition of surface film. Subsequently, those specimens were evaluated through visual surface inspection, non-destructive and destructive inspection. In a specimen #1 with full application of surface film, low pressurized area of composite laminate created by pressure gradient of structural geometry had voids. It exhibited that voids could not be evacuated and were locked in cured laminate by the influence of pre-cured surface film with relatively faster cure rate. In a specimen #2 without surface film, it revealed that all internal voids disappeared in the cured laminate. Therefore, it is verified that surface film acts as barrier film preventing void movement and evacuation during autoclave cure.

A study has been made to establish an optimum condition in the surface treatment and curing method that is important for the fabrication of Al 7075/CFRP laminates. PAA(Phosphoric Acid Anodizing) provided a good adhesive strength and FPL(Sulfuric / Sodium Dichromate Acid Etching) had a similar adhesive strength with PAA. On the other hand, the poor adhesive strength was shown on vapor degrease and CAA(Chromic Acid Anodizing). By using the atomic force microscope(AFM), it was found that the PAA oxide surface obviously had a greater degree of microroughness as compared to vapor degrease, CAA and FPL treated surfaces. These results support the concept of a mechanical interlocking of the adhesive with-in the oxide pores as the predominant adhesion mechanism. In curing methods, the adhesive strength of co-curing method was higher than that of secondary curing method. With respect to stability of specimen shape, the secondary curing method was better than co-curing method. DMA(Dynamic Mechanical Analysis) test revealed $T_g$ in curing times over 60 min is nearly same, so it is estimated they will have similar degree of curing and joint durability in using FM300M adhesive film.

This study compares true stress-true strain curves obtained by tensile tests of various piping materials with bi-linear stress-strain approximation suggested in the JSME Code Case(CC) Draft, a guideline for piping seismic inelastic response analysis. Based on the comparisons, the reliability of the bi-linear approximation is evaluated. It is found that bi-linear stress-strain curve of TP316 stainless steel is in good agreement with its true stress-true strain curve. However, Bi-linear stress-strain curves of TP304 stainless steel and carbon steels determined by the approximation cannot appropriately estimate their stress-strain behavior. Accordingly new bi-linear approximations for carbon steels and low-alloy steels are proposed. The proposed bi-linear approximations for carbon and low-alloy steels, which include the temperature effect on strength and hardening of material, estimate their stress-strain behavior reasonably well.
