This paper proposes a shape optimization of the metal boss for a composite motor case using finite element analysis. For the structural safety and the weight reduction of the composite motor case, under the internal pressure, the fiber stress in the dome area and the tightening bolt stress are constrained and the boss weight is set to objective function, respectively. The response surface models are constructed for the performance characteristics by using response surface method. The significance of the design variables about the performance characteristics is evaluated through the ANOVA(analysis of variance) and the goodness of fit test for the constructed model is performed through the regression analysis. The SQP(sequential quadratic programming) algorithm is used for the optimization and the proposed method is verified by performing structural analysis for the optimum shape.

Composite motor cases fabricated by the filament winding method are structurally weak in the dome when they are required to withstand the internal pressure of the combustion gas. In this study, a finite element analysis is conducted to compare the burst pressure of a composite dome according to the variation of the pressure distribution ratio(PDR). The performance of the composite motor case was compared quantitatively by calculating the stress on the inner and outer dome surfaces and metal boss volume. As a result, the critical point of the failure mode was observed at a PDR between 2.5 and 3.0. A design at a PDR of 2.5­-3.5 can reduce the weight of metal boss without fluctuation in the burst pressure of the combustion motor case. Moreover as the design reference value changes according to the dome shape and opening size, further analysis and testing are necessary.

대형 복합재 연소관 금속 보스용 고강도 알루미늄 합금 7175-T74를 개발하기 위하여, 고순도 7175 합금을 이용하여 링롤 단조법으로 대형링을 제조하였으며, 열처리와 가공 조건을 정밀제어한 특수공정을 적용하여 기존의 재료와 재질 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과 특수공정의 7175S-T74는 기존의 7175-T74 및 7075-T73에 비해 2차상 입자의 분률이 작고, 동일한 SCC특성(38% IACS) 수준에서 강도와 파괴인성이 동시에 증가한 이상적인 강도-인성-SCC 조합특성을 가졌다. 이는 특수공정에서의 고온열처리에 의한 2차상 입자의 재고용과 그에 따른 석출량 증가 때문이며, 결국 7175 합금, 링롤단조 그리고 T74 특수공정을 조합 적용하면 구조적 신뢰성과 경제성 면에서 유리한 보스용 대형링을 개발할 수 있다.

$La_{0.2}Ca_{0.8}MnO_3$ colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) powders and pellets were synthesized by sol-gel process involving a stable metal chelate complex with acetylacetone. The structural changes of reaction mixture were monitored by FT-IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry. The microstructure of sintered samples and the cation composition of gel powder were studied by FE-SEM/EDS and ICP-AES. The magnetic property was investigated as a function of temperature.
