The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibility of weight reduction by changing the partition panel of vehicle from an existing aluminum material to carbon fiber reinforced plastics. Three weaving methods (plain, twill and satin) were used in the manufacture of composite materials, and they were produced and tested to derive their material properties. The analysis model of composite partition panel for torsional conditions was developed and the structural stability and system stiffness were evaluated according to Tsai-Hill failure criteria. With design variables for fiber orientation angles and stacking sequence, evolutional optimal algorithm was performed and as the results, the optimal composite partition panel was designed. In addition, the structural analysis results for strength and specific stiffness were compared with aluminum partition panels and composite partition panels to verify the possibility of weight reduction.

Six types of hat stiffened composite panels were manufactured with different bonding methods and stiffener section shapes and compression testing of these panels were performed. The panels showed similar behaviors in bucking and postbuckling region before a skin-stiffener separation failure occurred. Although all the separation failures occurred at the same locations of stiffener flanges close by skin buckling crests, the separation loads, separation failure growth behaviors and final collapse loads were different with respect to bonding methods and stiffener section shapes. As the separation failure initiated early and propagated larger area, collapse loads and structural efficiency of the panels decreased.

Recently, in the field of railway vehicles, interest in the use of composite materials for weight reduction and transportation efficiency is increasing. Accordingly, research and commercialization development to apply composite materials to various vehicle parts are being actively conducted, and evaluation is conducted centering on post-measurement such as mechanical performance evaluation of finished products to verify quality when composite materials are applied. However, the analysis of heat and stress generated during the molding process of composite materials, which are factors that greatly affect manufacturing quality, is insufficient. Therefore, in this study, in order to verify the molding quality of composite parts for railway vehicles, the molding quality analysis was conducted for the two types of composite interior panels (laminate panel and sandwich panel) that are most actively used. To this end, temperature and strain changes were monitored during the molding process by using an FBG fiber optic sensor, which is easy to apply to the inside of the composite, and the residual strain value generated after molding was completed was measured. As a result, it was confirmed that overheating and excessive residual stress did not occur, thereby verifying the excellent molding quality of the composite interior panel for railway vehicles.

In this study, integrated co-bonded panels with the same configuration of hat stiffeners were fabricated and measured for ply waviness phenomenon. Total specimens consisted of 2 types; 1) the general co-bonded panel and 2) the co-bonded panel with caul plate made of carbon epoxy composite materials. The first general co-bonded panel specimen exhibited that laminate thickness on the stiffener location area was much thicker than the non-stiffener area and, there was ply waviness with 0.61 mm height and 3.29 mm length. In the second co-bonded panel specimen, the reduced waviness with 0.22 mm height and 1.37 length resulted in more than 50% improvements, which is due to the uniform pressure distribution of co-bonded interface by caul plate.

In this paper, composite panels with hat-shaped stiffeners were made using the co-curing, co-bonding and secondary bonding methods. Co-curing is a manufacturing method in which the hat part and the plate are cured simultaneously in a manner that is more cost effective than other methods. Co-bonding is a method in which the stacked prepregs are cured with other cured parts, and secondary bonding is a method in which cured parts are bonded together using an adhesive. A rubber mold was manufactured for co-curing of composite panel with hat-shaped stiffeners, and finite element analyses were done to evaluate the expanding pressure of the rubber mold consistent with the curing temperature. The manufactured panels were also evaluated using a 3-D measurement tester and an ultrasonic tester. Pull-off tests were performed to evaluate their mechanical properties.

In this research, aluminum composite panels of the general materials and fire retardant materials as building claddings make researches about fire performance comparison analysis. Test methods of the small and medium cone calorimeter experiments and SBI (Single Burning Item) experiments was applied to the determination. As a result, in the experiments peak heat release rate cone calorimeter the general aluminum composite panel $1,293kW/m^2$ ($75kW/m^2$), flame-retardant aluminum composite panel $70kW/m^2$ ($75kW/m^2$) was measured. In the SBI experiments fire growth rate the general fire aluminum composite panel is approximately 743 W/s and the flame-retardant aluminum composite panel is approximately 97 W/s of the value were measured. Thus, a standards enactment are urgently required in this case it is used as building claddings of the aluminum composite panel by fire risk assessment.

A styrene solution of waste expanded polystyrene with a crosslinking agent and an initiator was used as a binder for waste wood-plastic composite panels. The waste wood-plastic composite panels are prepared with various binder contents and filler-binder ratios by using a hot press molding method. The apparent density of the composite panels is increased with increasing binder content and filler-binder ratio, while their water absorption and expansion in thickness are decreased with increasing binder content and filler-binder ratio. The maximum flexural strength and wet flexural strength of the composite panels are obtained at a binder content of 35% and a filler-binder ratio of 0.8. Decreases in the flexural strengths of the composite panels due to water immersion at 20 and $100^{\circ}C$ are hardly recognized at binder contents of 30% or more.

One of the serious problems that make the flaw identification in a multi-layered thick composite panel more difficult is the interferenceeffect of the upper layer. To take care of such a problem, here we propose an image enhancement approach that can get rid of such an interference effect to ultrasonic C-scan images by a normalization of the acquired signals by a reference signals, and demonstrate its performance in the experiments. Specifically, three specimens with artificial flaws are prepared and ultrasonic C-scan images are acquired experimentally to eliminate the undesired interference effect. Cleat successes are observed in the present study demonstrating the high potential of the proposed algorithm as a practical image enhancement tool in many practical situations.
