Embedding viscoelastic-damping materials into composites can greatly increase the damping properties of composite structures. Usually viscoelastic-damping materials behave isotropically so that their damping properties are the same in all directions. In these days, there is a desire to develop viscoelastic-damping materials that behave orthotropically so that damping properties vary with material orientation. These orthotropic damping materials can be made by embedding rows of thin wires within the viscoelastic materials. These wires add significant directional stiffness to the damping materials. where the stiffness variation with wire orientation follows classical lamination theory. In this paper, the loss factor of composite laminate was evaluated based on Ni and Adams' theory. To investigate the effect of directional damping material, the low-velociy impact response analysis was also performed. The present analysis results show that directional damping material has a great influence on vibration and damping characteristic of composite laminate.

The fiber-reinforced composite materials have been advanced for various applications because of their excellent mechanical and electromagnetic properties. On their manufacturing processes, however, thermo-curing inherently produces the undesired thermal deformation mainly from temperature drop from the process temperature to the room temperature, so called spring-back. The spring-back must be understood especially in the hybrid composites in order to design and fabricate desired shape. In this research, (glass fiber / epoxy) + (carbon fiber / epoxy) unsymmetric hybrid composites were fabricated under various conditions such as cure cycle, laminate thickness, stacking sequence and curing sequence. Coupons were made and spring-back were measured using coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Using the Classical Lamination Theory (CLT) and finite element analysis (ANSYS), the behavior of spring-back were predicted and compared with the experimental data. The results from CLT and FEA agreed well with the experimental data. Although, the spring-back could be reduced by lowering curing temperature, at any case, the spring-back could not be removed completely.

본 연구에서는 섬유강화 복합재료로 구성된 항공기 날개를 외팔보 형태 구조물로 모델링하고 동특성 해석을 위해 횡전단변형 이론과 고전 적층판 이론을 적용, Rayleigh-Ritz 방법에 의한 진동해석을 수행한뒤 진동 발생시 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 동특성 향상을 정량적으로 제시하였다. 진동을 제어하기 위한 방법으로서 수동적, 능동적 방법을 모두 사용하고 있는데, (보다 자세한 사항은 참고문헌[12] 참조) 본 연구에서는 TMD(Tuned Mass Damper)를 사용하지 않고 복합소재 구조물의 성질을 이용한 탄성배열설계(Structural Tailoring)로 수동적 의미의 면진효과를 거둘 수 있게 하였다. 능동 제어의 경우 되먹임(feedback) 제어기를 이용, 이산(discret) 작동기(actuator)를 통하여 외팔보의 휨 및 비틀림 모우드를 함께 제어하여 효과적인 제어기를 설계하였다.

In this study, in order to improve the quality issue and component characteristics of the battery module, which is one of the major parts of the electric vehicle. The structure is reinforced by using the composite material and the mechanism structure optimization of Hybrid concept which can overcome the disadvantages of single material was performed and the performance was compared. For this purpose, figure out the main design variables of composite materials according to Classical Laminated Plate Theory (CLPT) and the algorithm for predicting composite material properties have been studied. Based on the mechanical properties of the designed composite materials, finite element analysis (FEM) and the performance of the battery module was verified. Consequently, according to the verification result, Hybrid Battery Module reinforced with Selective Composite Patch can reduce the weight by 30% and reduce the product thickness by 32.5% compared with the existing Al battery module and proved the merit of Hybrid structure such as maintaining impact performance.

In this study, when the carbon fiber composite was manufactured, the correlation between the porosity and mechanical properties according to the number of glass fiber felts laminated together and the stacking sequence was confirmed. The carbon fiber composite was manufactured by stacking glass fiber felts, which are highly permeable materials, and using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). Porosity was measured by photographing the cross-section of the specimen with an optical microscope and then using porosity calculation code of MATLAB, and mechanical properties were measured for tensile strength, modulus by tensile test. Furthermore, Pearson correlation coefficient between porosity and mechanical properties was calculated to confirm the correlation between two variables. As a result, the number of glass fiber felt increased and the distance from the center of laminated composites increased, the porosity increasing were confirmed. In addition, tensile strength/modulus showed a weak positive correlation with porosity. Also, in order to confirm the effect of only porosity on tensile strength and modulus, mechanical properties calculated by CLPT (Classical Laminate Plate Theory) and experimental values were compared, and the difference in tensile strength showed a strong positive correlation with porosity and the difference in modulus showed a weak positive correlation with porosity.

In this paper, we investigate the static response. natural frequencies and buckling loads of functionally graded material (FGM) plates, using a Navier method. The eigenvalues of the FGM plates and shells are calculated by varying the volume fraction of the ceramic and metallic constituents using a sigmoid function, but their Poisson's ratios of the FGM plates and shells are assumed to be constant. The expressions of the membrane. bending and shear stiffness of FGM plates art more complicated combination of material properties than a homogeneous element. In order to validate the present solutions, the reference solutions of rectangular plates based on the classical theory are used. The various examples of composite and FGM structures are presented. The present results are in good agreement with the reference solutions.

On their manufacturing processes, however, thermo-curing inherently produces the undesired thermal deformation mainly from temperature drop from the process temperature to the room temperature, so called spring-back. The spring-back must be removed to keep the precision of designed shape. In this research, the spring-back of {glass fiber / epoxy}+{carbon fiber / epoxy} unsymmetric hybrid composites were predicted using Classical Lamination Theory (CLT), and compared with the experimental data. Additionally, using finite element analysis (ANSYS), the predicted data and experimental data were compared. The predicted values by CLT and ANSYS were well matched with experimental data.

The prediction to the hydroscopic moisture warping behaviors is analyzed for cellulose-based laminates using a numerical method base on a modified classical laminate(MCL) theory for hygroscopic moisture deformations with cycling testing data. The experimental measurement of the interferometric hygroscopic warping effects, moisture generator, and curvature of cellulose reinforced epoxy laminates is studied under cyclic environmental conditions using a Moire interferometer coupled. Accurate determination of curvatures provides a description of dimensional stability evolution; the tools for validation of computational internal stress and for the warpage prediction in model safety.
