The effect of high-temperature on the flexural modulus of epoxy resin were evaluated using universal testing machine with 3-point bending and dynamic mechanical analyzer. Temperatures of $30^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$, and $140^{\circ}C$ were considered for flexural test. The specimens having aspect ratio of 16, 32, and 40 were used. The results of storage modulus from DMA were similar to those from flexural test along with given temperatures. It is found that the flexural modulus increased with increasing aspect ratio and the specimen having aspect ratio of above 32 would be suitable for the evaluation of composite material properties under high temperature condition.

본 연구에서는 4-점 굽힘시험 장치를 이용하여 구멍의 표면에서 응력구배를 발생시켰을 때 (구멍의 깊이 방향으로는 응력구배가 없음), 구멍을 뚫기전 표면의 응 력구배를 고려하여 산정한 하중상태와 구멍을 뚫은 후 이완되는 잔류응력을 비교하였 다. 또한 잔류응력 측정시 구멍의 진원도에 대하여 실험적으로 연구하였으며, 구멍 직경의 측정오차가 잔류응력 측정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과 4-점 굽힘 시험시 하중상태는 응력구배를 고려하여 계측되어야 하며, 응력구배장에서의 잔류응력 을 로젯트 게이지 중심에 존재하는 균일응력으로 나타낼 수 있다.

The mechanical properties of generally orthotropic materials are conventionally measured by performing off-axis tensile and flexure tests. However, the inevitable coupling between tension and shear in case of tensile test or bending and twisting in flexure test case induces nonuniform displacement and stress fields. Consequential stress concentration along the boundary of specimens would result in inaccurate modulus and underestimated strength. This paper proposes the variation of specimen geometry in terms of appropriate obliquity of loaded boundary. For the purpose, classical lamination theory is transformed into skewed coordinate, and characteristic equations for both of unidirectional and laminated composite specimens are formulated. Finite element analysis is employed to show the validity of the skewedness in tensile and bending test specimens.

To measure springback ratio of thin sheet or plate, winding bend rig is made. It bends a specimen with keeping its curva-ture constant and measure the bending angles before and after release of bending load. To check the performance of the bend rig, we calculated the bending moment by two ways which are based on simple beam theory. One is that the bending moment is calculated by using the results of bending test, and the other is that the moment is calculated by using the results of tensile tests. The former may entails the effect of the other is that the moment is calculated by using the results of tensile tests. The former may entails the effect of the friction between bending pin of the rig and surface of specimen, but the latter does not contain any effects of the friction since the bending moment is obtained by using tensile tests. Never-theless, the values of the two bending moments shows the same level of bending moment, which implies that the friction does not influence on the presence of friction within the scope of the test performed in this experiment. This phenomenon is explained theoretically by using moment equilibrium.

일반적으로 고체추진 로켓 모타의 개발단계 때 공통적으로 수행되는 주시험(main test)으로는 추력, 압력, 회전률 등의 성능측정을 하기 위한 정적연소시험(static firing test), 내부 정수압(hydrostatic pressure)에 의한 폭발 압력 시험, 연소중이나 연소 후 케이스에 대한 굽힘 강성 시험, 이외에 노화 시험, 환경시험 등이 요구된다. 그러나 신궁과 같은 휴대용 대공 시스템의 추진기관 개발의 경우에는 사수를 보호하기 위해 여러 가지 안전장치들이 설계되고, 이러한 장치들의 성능에 대한 요구 조건들을 확인하기 위한 특수시험(specific test)들이 필요하게 된다. 이러한 특수시험을 위한 각종 시험대들을, 위에서 언급한 주시험을 위해 사용되는 정적시험대(static test bench)들과 구분하기 위해 동적 시험대(DTB : Dynamic Test Bench)라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 신궁 추진기관의 사출모타 점화에서 비행모타 점화에 이르는 일련의 비행절차를 확인하기 위한 동적 시험대 설계 및 제작, 계측장치 구성 및 데이터 획득 방법 등에 관한 내용을 소개하며, 동적 시험대에서 수회에 걸쳐 수행된 동적 시험 결과를 분석/정리하였다.

An experimental method based on flexural wave propagation is proposed for identification of structural damage in rail fastening systems. The vibration of a rail clamped and supported by viscoelastic pads is significantly influenced by dynamic support properties. Formation of a defect in the rail fastening system induces changes in the flexural wave propagation characteristics owning to the discontinuity in the structural properties. In this study, frequency-dependent support stiffness was measured to monitor this change by a transfer function method. The sensitivity of wave propagation on the defect was measured from the potential energy stored in a continuously supported rail. Further, the damage index was defined as a correlation coefficient between the change in the support stiffness and the sensitivity. The defect location was identified from the calculated damage index.

In this study, three knee-orthoses (dial lock type, medium size, right side) were used for a quality level test (static bending test and solidity test of the locking system) of the knee-orthosis locking system. In the static bending test, a smaller maximum load was observed in samples A and C compared to the reference standard value (KS P 8408 standard value: 1000 N, sample A: 865 N, sample C: 833 N). In addition, in the solidity test of the locking system, a smaller maximum load was observed in the all samples compared to the referenced standard value (KS P 8411 standard value: 200 N, sample A: 41 N, sample B: 97 N, sample C: 54 N). Korean industrial standards for knee-orthoses and systematic test methods are lacking. Therefore, a systematic management plan for knee-orthoses is required. The result of the current study showed that a systematic management plan for the knee-orthosis locking system is required. In particular, the development of a quantitative and objective test method is needed. The findings of the current study may be useful for monitoring the quality of the knee-orthosis locking system and may provide foundational information for the development of a quantitative and objective test method.

The force transducer in the acceleration plant due to dynamic fracture is calibrated by dynamically using the stress pulses from a longitudinal bar. The bar is supported by two strings attached to the ceiling. The bar velocities before and after impact are measured and a full bridge at bar and transducer is formed by the four strain gauges. A transient recorder is used to store the stress pulse signals of force transducer and bar. For the first test series, three point bend test specimens can be chosen by means of test rig design and the inspection as sample experiment in this presented paper is sufficient for proving with the numerical simulation of the specimen model.

The effect of exposure times on the aging characteristics of carbon fiber/epoxy composite ring specimen was evaluated using an accelerating aging tester. Combined exposure conditions, such as temperature, moisture, and ultraviolet, were applied up to 3000 hours. Tensile properties and flexural properties including the effect of curvature were evaluated on the specimens subject to various exposure times through a material testing system. Their aging surfaces were observed through a scanning electron microscope. According to the results, tensile modulus was little affected by the exposure times. However, tensile strength, at the early stage of the exposure times, increased due to physical aging and curing reaction, but tensile strength slightly decreased due to degradation as the exposure times increased. The flexural modulus and flexural strength increased at the early stage of the exposure times, but slightly decreased as the exposure times increased. Aging surfaces of the specimens examined using the scanning electron microscope revealed a different morphology in various exposure times and provided useful information for identifying the degradation in mechanical properties of the composite subject to various exposure times.

In this paper, development of tape-springs made of composite materials was conducted for the deployment structures along with design, analysis, fabrication, and numerical and experimental investigation of mechanical behavior of the tape-springs. To this end, the tape-springs were manufactured according to three stacking patterns, and numerical and experimental investigation were conducted to determine whether or not they were damaged during bending with various selected composite materials. Finally, optimal stacking patterns that do not cause damage were selected during bending. With this information, the four-point bending test was conducted to obtain the moment-rotation curves. From results, it was confirmed that the nonlinear hysteresis phenomenon of the tape-springs was properly realized according to folding and unfolding. Therefore, it was confirmed that the composite material tape spring was properly developed.
