The prediction and analysis procedure of fatigue damage crack growth life for a stiffener bonded composite laminate panel including center hole and edge notch damage, was studied. It was performed on the basis of fatigue damage growth test results on a laminated skin panel specimens and the analysis results of stress intensity factor for the stiffener bonded composite panel. According to the comparison between experimental test and prediction results of fatigue damage growth life, it was concluded that the residual strength and damage tolerance assessment can be carried out along to the edge notch crack growth.

Acoustic emission (AE) is one of the most powerful techniques for detecting damages and identify damage location during operations. However, in case of the source location technique, there is some limitation in conventional AE technology, because it strongly depends on wave speed in the corresponding structures having heterogeneous composite materials. A compressed natural gas(CNG) pressure vessel is usually made of carbon fiber composite outside of vessel for the purpose of strengthening. In this type of composite material, locating impact damage sources exactly using conventional time arrival method is difficult. To overcome this limitation, this study applied the previously developed Contour D/B map technique to four types of CNG storage tanks to identify the source location of damages caused by external shock. The results of the identification of the source location for different types were compared.

This paper presents the probabilistic analysis for fatigue life of Glass/Epoxy laminates with impact-induced damage. For this, a series of impact tests were perfomed on the Glass/Epoxy laminates using instrumented impact testing machine. Then, tensile and fatigue tests carried out so as to generate post-impact residual strength and fatigue life. Two Parameter Weibull distribution was used to fit the residual strength and fatigue life data of Glass/Epoxy composite laminates. The residual strength was affected by impact energy and their variance decreased with increasing of impact energy. The fatigue life of impacted laminates was greatly reduced by impact energy and this trend depended on applied stress amplitude. Additionally, the variation of fatigue life was gradually decreased with the applied stress amplitude.

SMC(Sheet molding compound) composite is mainly used for forming of vehicle's body. Considering the car accident, it is essential to research the impact behavior and characteristics of materials. It is difficult to identify them because the impact process is completed in a short time. Therefore, the impact damage analysis using FE(finite element) model is required for the impact behavior. The impact damage analysis requires the parameters for the damage model of SMC composite. In this paper, ANN(artificial neural network) technique is applied to obtain the parameters for the damage model of SMC composite. The surrogate model by ANN was constructed with the result in LS-DYNA. By comparing the absorption energy in drop weight test with the result of ANN model, the optimized parameters were obtained. The acquired parameters were validated by comparing the results of the experiment, the FE model and the ANN model.

This paper presents a neural network controller design for complex damage to a blended wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV): partial loss of main wing and vertical tail. Longitudinal/lateral axis instability and the change of flight dynamics is investigated via numerical simulation. Based on this, neural network based adaptive controller combined with two types of feedback linearization are designed in order to compensate for the complex damage. Performance of two kinds of dynamic inversion controllers is analyzed against complex damage. According to the structure of the dynamic inversion controller, the performance difference is confirmed in normal situation and under damaged situation. Numerical simulation verifies that the instability from the complex damage of the UAV can be stabilized via the proposed adaptive controller.

This study aims to investigate the residual strength of sandwich composites with Al honeycomb core and carbon fiber face sheets after the quasi-static indentation damage by the experimental investigation. The 3-point bending test and the edge-wise compressive strength test were used to find the mechanical properties, and the quasi-static point load was applied to introduce the simulated damage on the specimen. The damaged specimens were finally assessed by the 3-point bending test and the compressive strength test. The investigation results revealed the residual strength of the damaged specimens due to the quasi-static indentation. The both test results showed that the residual strength of the damaged specimen was decreased according to increases of the damaged depth.

고성능 섬유강화 복합재는 비강성과 비강도가 높고 내부식성과 피로특성이 우수하지만 외부에서 가해지는 하중에 의해 수지, 강화섬유와 수지와의 경계면, 적층 경계면 등에 육안으로 식별하기 어려운 손상이 유발될 가능성이 있으며 이로 인해 구조재로서의 역할을 하지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 최근에는 외부하중으로 인해 복합재 구조재에 손상이 발생한 경우 자가치료제가 저장된 마이크로캡슐을 이용하여 손상을 보수하려는 시도가 행해지고 있다.(중략)

SiC particulate reinforced metal matrix composites(MMCs) are emerging as candidate materials for the automobile and aerospace industries due to their significant increase in elastic modulus and strength compared to conventional metallic materials. However, in order to make successful application of MMCs, it is very important to understand micro-failure mechanism under cyclic loading because failure mechanism of MMC is dominated by accumulation of micro-failure due to applied loading. In this study, ultrasonic Lamb wave and acoustic emission(AE) have been used to monitor microscopic damage accumulation under cyclic loading for SiC particulate reinforced metal matrix composite(SiCp/A356). It was found that the change in velocity and attenuation of ultrasonic Lamb wave due to the increase of loading cycles could be characterized by three different stages corresponding to the microscopic fracture processes. The characteristic of AE signal at each stage was analyzed and discussed by comparing with the change of ultrasonic characteristic in MMCs.

최근 선진국에서 차세대전투기와 고속철도차량 및 자동차 동체 등 경량화를 위해 복합재료의 사용범위가 증가되고 있다. 특히 강화재로서 섬유를 직물구조의 형태를 이용한 직물구조 CFRP 복합재료는 일방향 섬유에 비해 변형능력이나 기계적 특성이 우수하여 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 보강제와 같은 구조물 등에까지 그 사용이 확대되고 있다. 하지만 직물구조 CFRP 복합재료는 내부의 손상형태나 위치를 파악하기가 어렵고 직물구조의 복잡한 강화구조를 가지기 때문에 그 역학적 손상거동과 명확한 파괴거동 해석수법은 확립되어 있지 않다.(중략)
