Recently the authors had proposed the z-pinning patch concept to simply manufacture z-pinned composite structures at industrial production site and manufactured composite single-lap shear joint specimens using the concept. Through static tensile test on the specimens they had obtained 54~68% improvement of the joint strength. As a sequential study of it, in this study, fatigue test has performed to measure an improvement of joint strength under cyclic loading. The z-pin's material is stainless steel and its surface was specially machined into zagged shapes and chemically corroded to increase the connection force with composite materials. Approximately 98~125% improvement of the joint strength under cyclic loading was obtained.

The design of composite joint is important research area because they are often the weakest areas in composite structures. In this paper, the specimens with three paste thickness (0.2 mm, 0.6 mm, 4 mm) were manufactured in secondary bonding method and tested in two different loading direction condition. Also, the failure index of the L-type stiffener was calculated by the finite element method and compared with experimental results.

This paper is concerned with Anisogrid composite lattice structures whose load bearing shell is formed by systems of geodesic unidirectional composite ribs made by automatic wet winding process. Lattice structures are usually made in the form of cylindrical shell and consist of systems of helical and hoop ribs fabricated by continuous filament winding from carbon and epoxy composites. Design variables of the structure which are the angle of helical ribs, ribs spacings, and cross sectional areas are determined by the method of minimization of satety factors whick is described in the paper. And, fabrication methods and actual experimental results are presented.

복합재 연소관과 노즐을 기계적 체결방법으로 결합하면 결합부위에서 재료의 불연속성과 기하학적 불연속성으로 인한 높은 응력집중이 발생해 구조적으로 매우 취약하게 됩니다. 복합재 연소관의 경우에는 내압을 받는 원통형 구조물이므로 기존의 평판에 대한 연구결과를 그대로 사용할수 없으므로, 이 글에서는 복합재 셀 구조물의 응력 및 파손 해석을 수행할수 있도록 1차전단변형 셀이론을 이용한 유한요소해석 프로그램을 개발하였습니다. 기계적체결부위의 모델링에 대해 검토하였으며 복합재료의 파손평가에 사용되는 여러가지 파손식을 적용해 비교하였습니다. 이 해석 방법을 이용해 복합재 연소관의 적층각, 볼트직경, 연소관의 끝단까지의 길이 등이 파손하중에 미치는 영향을 제시하였습니다

Experimental studies on the adaptive vibration control of composite beams have been performed using a piezoelectric actuator and the neuro-controller. The variations in natural frequencies of the specimen and the actuation characteristics of the piezoelectric actuator according to the delamination in the bonding layer have been studied. In addition, the simulation of adaptive vibration control has been performed for the composite specimens with delaminated piezoelectric actuator using neuro-controller. The hardware for the adaptive vibration control experiment was prepared. A DSP(digital signal processor) has been used as a digital controller. Using neuro-controller, the adaptive vibration control experiment has been performed. The vibration control results using the neuro-controller show that the present neuro-controller has good performance and robustness with the system parameter variations.

In the design of composite aircraft structures, it is very important to set material allowables and design values, which take into account certification. And when determining the material allowable and design value of composite structures, the static strength, damage tolerance requirements, and environmental effects should be considered. The building block approach has been applied to the civil and military aviation industry for a long time and provides the principal certification methodology. This current certification methodology is based on extensive testing including coupon, element, sub-component, and full scale test. In this paper, some examples of composite allowable tests have been presented and the fundamental background and application methods of the building block approach have been presented.

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.

This work dealt with structural safety analysis about sandwich composite structure of automotive floor board. In this work, structural design and analysis of sandwich composite structure for automobile floor board were performed. Firstly, structural design requirement of automobile floor board was investigated. After structural design, the structural analysis of the automobile floor board were performed by the finite element analysis method. It was performed that the stress and displacement analysis at the applied load condition. After structural test of target structure, structural test results were compared with analysis results. Through the structural analysis, it was confirmed that the designed floor board structure is safety.

The deployable reflector antenna consists of 24 unit main reflectors, and is mounted on a launch vehicle in a folded state. This satellite reaches the operating orbit and the antenna of satellite is deployed, and performs a mission. The deployable reflector antenna has the advantage of reduce the storage volume of payload of launch vehicle, allowing large space structures to be mounted in the limited storage space of the launch vehicle. In this paper, structural analysis was performed on the main reflector constituting the deployable reflector antenna, and through this, the initial conceptual design was performed. Lightweight composite main reflector was designed by applying a carbon fiber composite and honeycomb core. The laminate pattern and shape were selected as design variables and a design that satisfies the operation conditions was derived. Then, the performance of the lightweight composite reflector antenna was analyzed by performing detailed structural analysis on modal analysis, quasi-static, thermal gradient, and dynamic behavior.
