FMLC(Fiber-Metal Laminate Composites) is a new structural material combining thin metal laminate with adhesive fiber prepreg, it nearly include all the advantage of metallic materials, for example: good plasticity, impact resistance, processibility, light weight and excellent fatigue properties. This research studied the optimum design of the FMLC subject to various loading conditions using genetic algorithm. The finite element method based on the shear deformation theory was used for the analysis of FMLC. Tasi-Hill failure criterion and Miser yield criterion were taken as fitness functions of the fiber prepreg and the metal laminate, respectively. The design variables were fiber orientation angles. In genetic algorithm, the tournament selection and the uniform crossover method were used. The elitist model was also used to be effective evolution strategy and the creeping random search method was adopted in order to approach a solution with high accuracy. Optimization results were given for various loading conditions and compared with CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic). The results show that the FMLC is more excellent than the CFRP in point and uniform loading conditions and it is more stable to unexpected loading because the deviation of failure index is smaller than that of CFRP.

Fiber metal hybrid laminate (FML) can be used as an economic material with superior mechanical properties and light weight than conventional metal by bonding of metal and FRP. However, there are disadvantages that it is difficult to predict fracture behavior because of the large difference in properties depending on the type of fiber and lamination conditions. In this paper, we study the failure behavior of hybrid materials with laminated glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP, GEP118, woven type) in Al6061-T6 alloy. The Al alloys were coated with GFRP 1, 3, and 5 layers, and fracture behavior was analyzed by using a static test and a low cycle fatigue test. In the low cycle fatigue test, strain - life analysis and the total strain energy density method were used to analyze and predict the fatigue life. The Al alloy did not have tensile properties strengthening effect due to the GFRP coating. The fatigue hysteresis geometry followed the behavior of the Al alloy, the base material, regardless of the GFRP coating and number of coatings. As a result of the low cycle fatigue test, the fatigue strength was increased by the coating of GFRP, but it did not increase proportionally with the number of GFRP layers.

최근, 수송기기 분야는 국제 환경규제 강화에 따른 CO2 절감, 연비향상, 경량화를 위한 기술적 수요가 증대되고 있으며, 그린카, 그린선박 등 친환경 수송기기에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 금속소재가 가지는 경량화의 한계를 극복하기 위해서는 CFRP, GFRP 등 금속대체 복합소재를 적용한 수송용 경량부품 개발에 대한 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 복합소재는 섬유사이에서 응력을 전달하는 기지(Matrix)와 하중을 전달하는 섬유(Fiber)의 종류와 양 및 적층 각도에 따라 수송용 부품에 적합한 기계적 특성을 얻을 수 있고, 높은 비강도와 비강성의 값을 갖게 되어 경량화가 용이한 장점이 있다. 반면, 섬유재의 종류, 성형방법, 경화온도 등에 따라 물리적 특성에 큰 변화가 발생하며, 수지의 경화조건에 따라 성형시간이 많이 소요되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 자동차, 선박, 항공기, 철도차량 등 각종 수송기기의 경량화를 목적으로 생산성 향상 및 성형시간 절감을 위해 열가소성 수지, 저온속경화 수지를 적용하여, 경화 시간을 단축시키고, 3D-fabric 및 다층구조 직물을 Vacuum Infusion 공법으로 성형하여, 기존의 섬유재 적층시 소요되는 작업 공정을 간소화 할 수 있도록, 고속성형 복합소재를 적용한 수송용 경량부품 개발에 관한 연구를 수행하였다.

The advanced fiber-reinforced laminated composites are widely used in a variety of engineering applications such as aerospace, marine, mechanical and civil engineering for weight savings because of their high specific strength and stiffness. The material properties of ply is known to have larger variations than that of conventional materials and very sensitive to the loading direction. Therefore, it is important to consider the variations on designing the laminated composite. This paper demonstrates the importance of considering uncertainties through examining the effect of material properties variations on various design requirements such as tip deflection, natural frequency and buckling stress using COMSOL-MATLAB interface.

Due to the high specific strength and stiffness of the composite materials, the composite materials have been extensively used in various industries. In particular, carbon fiber reinforced composites are widely used in many mechanical structures. In addition, since carbon fiber reinforced composites have anisotropic properties, to understand the fatigue behavior of composites with different fiber orientation is very important for the efficient structural design. Therefore, in this paper, the effect fiber orientation on the fatigue life of composite materials was experimentally evaluated. For this purpose, tensile and fatigue tests were performed on the off-axis specimens (0°, 10°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) of the composite materials. As a result of the fatigue tests, the fatigue strength of the composites decreased significantly as the fatigue strength slightly deviated from 0 degrees. On the other hand, the more deviated, the less decreased. This is because the role of supporting the load of fibers decreased as the stacking angle increased. In addition, the fatigue behavior was analyzed by introducing a fatigue strength ratio (Ψ) that eliminates the fiber orientation dependence of the off-axis fatigue behaviors on the unidirectional composites. The off-axis fatigue S-N lines can be reduced to a single line regardless of the fiber orientation by using the fatigue strength ratio (Ψ). Using the fatigue Ψ-N line, it is possible to extract back to any off-axis fatigue S-N lines of the composites with different fiber orientations.

In this paper, the tensile strength in aluminum alloy 5052, Kevlar 49-fiber reinforced aluminum alloy laminates, and Glass-fiber reinforced aluminum alloy laminates, is statistically evaluated. Prepregs manufactured in Han Kuk Fiber is used and FRMLs is cured by Hot-Press. Standard statistical are used to determine the distribution function which best fits FRMLs strength data. The normal,lpg-normal, and two-parameter Weibull distrbuttion are evaluated using the Kolmogoorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test. At the 5% significance level, none of these distribution is rejected. The strength of Aluminum alloy 5052 is best fits to a normal distribution. However, the strength of Kevlar 49-fiber reinforced aluminum alloy laminates and Glass-fiber reinforced aluminum alloy laminates is best fits to a two-parameter Weibull distribution.

Advanced fiber-reinforced laminated composites are widely used in various fields of engineering to reduce weight. The material property of each ply is well known; specifically, it is known that ply is less reliable than metallic materials and very sensitive to the loading direction. Therefore, it is important to consider this uncertainty in the design of laminated composites. In this study, reliability analysis is conducted using COMSOL and MATLAB interactions for a laminated composite plate for the case in which the tip deflection is the design requirement and the material property is a random variable. Furthermore, the efficiency and accuracy of the approximation method is identified, and a probabilistic sensitivity analysis is conducted. As a result, we can prove the applicability of the advanced design method for the stabilizer of an underwater vehicle.

Fiber reinforced metal laminates(FRMLs) are new types of hybrid materials. FRMLs consists of high strength metal(Al 5052-H34) and laminated fiber with structural adhesive bond. The mixture ratio effect of epoxy resin$.$curing agent$.$accelerator on the fatigue behavior of FRMLs was investigated in this study. The epoxy, diglycidylether of bisphenol A(DGEBA), was cured by methylene dianiline(MDA) with or without an accelerator(K-54). Eight different kinds of resin mixture ratios were selected for the test ; five kinds of FRMLs(1) and three others of FRMLs(2). The relationship between da/dN and ΔK with variation of resin mixture ratio was studied. FRMLs(1) and FRMLs(2) indicated approximately 2 times and 2.2 times more improved maximum bending strengths in comparison with those of Al 5052-H34. The resin mixture ratio <1:1> in case of FRMLs(1) indicated the maximum fatigue life, while the resin mixture ratio <1:1:0.2> in case of FRMLs(2) indicated the maximum fatigue life. As results, FRMLs(2) turned out to have more effective characteristics on the fatigue properties and the bending strength than those of FRMLs(1).

It's shown how to proceed the study on Manufacturing techniques & Conservation to the Iron Pot from Cheonmachong Ancient Tomb(the 155th Tomb in Hwangnam-dong). In order to investigate manufacturing techniques of the Iron Pot, some parts of the relic were gathered. After mounting, polishing and etching on the relic, analyzing the metal microstructure was conducted. Also it's conducted a SEM-EDS analysis on the nonmetallic inclusion. White iron structure was observed in the metallurgical structure inspection, SEM-EDS analysis. It seems to be dried slowly at room temperature after casting, doesn't look as particular heat treatment to improve brittleness. It is estimated that it's as the handle seam side were verified about 3cm inch wide, 1.5 thick in center of body, so 2 separate half-completed products was cast with width-type mould. The manufacturing techniques Using white cast iron structure, width-type mould are observable to the Iron Pot excavated from Sikrichong Ancient Tomb & Hwangnamdaechong grand Ancient Tomb around those were constructed the same time. It's able to recognize that it's almost identical manufacturing techniques at that time. Conservation is generically following those are survey of pretreatment, foreign material removal, stabilization, restoration and color matching in the order. cleaning & drying were added to the process as occasion demands. The strengthening treatment were difficult with artifact's volume, low concentration Paraloid NAD-10 solution was spread two or three times with a brush, surface hardening also came up with 15wt% Paraloid NAD-10 solution after the conservation was complete. There were connection & restoration for the restoration to the damage after modeling forms that it's similar to damaged parts by using the Fiber Reinforced Plastic resins(POLYCOAT FH-245, mold laminated type). Throughout this research, capitalizing on accumulations of measurements about the production technique of Iron Pot in the time of the fifth and 6th centuries is no less important than the Iron artifact's conservation for a better study in the future.
