복합재 압력용기의 제작 및 사용중에 발생하는 결함(손상)의 비파괴검사를 통해 구조물의 건전성을 평가하는 것은 제품의 품질보증 관점에서 아주 중요합니다. 복합재에서는 여러 종류의 결함이 동시에 존재할수 있으며, 결함-기계적 성질-비파괴특성 사이의 상호관계는 완전히 알려져 있지 않습니다. 이글에서는 복합재 연소관에 존재하는 결함의 위험도와 결함 탐지를 위한 비파괴 검사 기법에 대해 먼저 살펴보았습니다. Filament Winding으로 제조한 복합재 연소관의 Proof Testing과 관련해 음향방출(AE)법에 의한 최근의 연구결과를 살펴본 다음, 연소관의 신뢰도 확보를 위한 비파괴 평가 방법에 대해 앞으로의 연구 방향을 제시하였습니다

Acoustic load generated by rocket propulsion system is one of major dynamic loads during lift-off phase so that it causes the structural failure and electronic malfunction of payloads. Acoustic loads can be greatly reduced by an appropriate acoustical design of nose faring structures. This paper deals with the acoustical design of the nose fairing structure for launch vehicle. It is well known that a honeycomb sandwich structure is a poor sound insulator because of its high specific stiffness. In this paper, the sound transmission characteristics of four kinds of honeycomb structures for noise fairing were investigated by means of numerical and experimental ways. In order to estimate transmission loss, infinite plate theory by Moore and Lyon and statistical energy analysis (SEA) method were used. The predicted results showed a good agreement with measured ones. These enabled us to determine a proper core material for nose fairing, which shows good sound insulation performance per weight.

This paper describes the standardized finite element model for carbody structures of railway vehicle made of sandwich composites. Recently, sandwich composites were widely used to railway vehicle due to the improvement of energy efficiency, high specific stiffness and strength, weight reduction and space saving in korea. Therefore, structural integrity should be verified using finite element analysis prior to the manufacture of composite railway vehicle. The standardized finite element model for composite carbody structures was introduced through comparing the results of real structural test under vertical, compressive, twisting load and natural frequency test of various railway vehicles in this study. The results show that the quadratic shell element is suitable to model the reinforced metal frame used to improve the flexural stiffness of sandwich panel compared to beam element, and layered shell and solid element are recommended to model the skin and honeycomb core of sandwich panel compared to sandwich shell element. Also, the proposed standard finite element model has the merit of being applied to crashworthiness problem without modifications of finite element model.

In this paper, an integrated probabilistic strength analysis was conducted to predict the reliability of a composite pressure vessel under inner pressure loading condition. As a probabilistic strength analysis, the probabilistic progressive failure model consisting of progressive failure model and Monte Carlo simulation was incorporated with a commercial FEA code, ABAQUS Standard, to perform the probabilistic failure analysis of composite structure which has a complex shape and boundary conditions. As design random variables, the laminar strengths of each direction were considered. Finally, from probabilistic strength analysis, the scattering of burst pressure could be explained and the reliability of composite pressure vessel could be obtained for each component. In case of composite structures in mass production, the effects of uncertainties in material and manufacturing on the performance of composite structures would apparently become larger. So, the probabilistic strength analysis is essential for the structural design of composite structures in mass production.

잠입노즐은 로케트 추진기관의 길이 및 중량을 감소시켜 체계설계의 관점에서 볼 때 많은 이점을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 3단형 과학로케트 원지점 차넣기 모타(apogee kick motor)에 적용하기위한 잠입노즐의 기초기술 개발에 주안점을 두었다. 고고도에서 저속으로 회전하며 비행하는 원지점 차넣기 모타를 제작하기위해서 체계 요구성능에 의해 예상된 실물형의 50% 크기에 해당하는 축소형 잠입노즐을 제작하였다. 잠입노즐은 잠입부의 내외부가 고온의 추진제 연소가스에 노출된 상태에서 노즐 내부 압력 외에 연소실압에 의한 외부압력이 작용하므로 이를 고려한 열 및 구조설계가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 노즐 수렴부와 목부에 일체형 그라파이트 소재를 적용하고 확장부 내열재 및 잠입부 배면내열재에 탄소/페놀 복합재를 노즐 내열재로 사용하였다. 그리고 이들의 구조적 지지를 위해 스틸구조물을 적용하였다. 적용된 스틸구조물에는 K형 열전쌍을 이용해 내열재와 구조물 온도를 측정할 수 있는 관통구멍 및 나사부를 구조물 외변에 가공하였다. 열전쌍은 노즐 목직경의 2, 4배 되는 확장부 내열재 단면위치의 2mm와 4mm 깊이와 구조물 내면 및 외면의 4개소에 열전쌍을 부착하여 지상연소시험시 노즐 내열재와 구조물의 온도분포를 관찰한다. 그리고 노즐 조립시 확장부 내열재와 구조물에 각 각 반원형 홈을 내어 여분의 접착제가 원형 홈에 밀려들어가 경화되어 노즐 기밀유지와 체결력을 향상시킬 수 있는 원형공간 접착제 충전 공법을 적용하여 실제모타에 대한 적용가능성을 지상연소시험을 통해 확인한다.

The demand for weight saving and high performance of aircraft require the more uses of composite materials. However the complicate behaviors and various failure characteristics restrict usage of composite materials. Low-velocity impact damage is a major concern in the design of structures made of composite materials, because impact damage is hidden and cannot be detected by visual inspection. Especially, the reduction on compressive strength after impact is influenced by the ply delaminations introduced as damage by impact event. In this research, the numerical analysis was performed to investigate impact damage and compressive strength after impact. It was found that impact force history and compressive strength after impact calculated by the numerical analysis were compared and shown a good agreement with experimental results.

Hydrodynamic ram phenomenon could be generated by external threats such as impact and blast in the aircraft. High strain rate deformation caused by the hydrodynamic ram phenomenon is one of the main factors to influence structural survivability. Mechanical properties of composite structure change rapidly under conditions of high strain rate. Therefore, it is necessary to experimentally investigate the influence of strain rates for aircraft structural survivability. In this paper, tensile tests of composite material were conducted for low and high strain rates to investigate the influence of the various strain rates. Tensile modulus increases more compared to tensile strength at high strain rate under hydrodynamic ram condition. Regression analysis was conducted to predict tensile modulus at various strain rates because it is one of the main damaging factors for composite structures under high strain rate conditions. Also, the mechanical properties of composite materials were acquired and analyzed under high strain rate conditions. It is hypothesized that the results from this study would be used for designing aircraft composite structures and evaluation considering structural survivability.

A composite structure was fabricated with embedded impact detection capabilities for applications in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). By embedding sensor functionality in the composite, the structure can successfully perform impact localization in real time. Smart resin, composed of $Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb(Zr,\;Ti)O_2$ (PNN-PZT) powder and epoxy resin with 1:30 wt%, was used instead of conventional epoxy resin in order to activate the sensor function in the composite structure. The embedded impact sensor in the composite was fabricated using Hand Lay-up and Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding(VARTM) methods to inject the smart resin into the glass-fiber fabric. The electrodes were fabricated using silver paste on both the upper and bottom sides of the specimen, then poling treatment was conducted to activate the sensor function using a high voltage amplifier at 4 kV/mm for 30 min at room temperature. The composite's piezoelectric sensitivity was measured to be 35.13 mV/N by comparing the impact force signals from an impact hammer with the corresponding output voltage from the sensor. Because impact sensor functionality was successfully embedded in the composite structure, various applications of this technique in the SHM industry are anticipated. In particular, impact localization on large-scale composite structures with complex geometries is feasible using this composite embedded impact sensor.
