In this study, we investigated the effect of fiber alignment in helicoidal structure on the mechanical properties of biomimetic fiber-reinforced composites. Using finite element analysis, circular biomimetic fiber composites were designed and studied. Various amounts of pressure loads were applied to a surface of the composites, and then bending and failure behaviors of the composites were analyzed. The results showed various failure morphologies according to the orientation of the fibers, and it turned out that the fiber alignment in helicoidal structure significantly improved the bending strength of the composite under pressure loading. This was because the fiber alignment in various directions for each layer dispersed effectively the fracture energy from the external load into multiple directions.

The effects of heat treatment and fiber orientation on tensile strength and fatigue behavior were studied in a continuously reinforced. magnesium-based composite Following an earlier TEM investigation, specimens were thermally aged to modified the interfacial zone between the alumina fibers and the magnesium alloy matrix. From the tensile experimental results, the ultimate tensile strength of the aged specimens were lower than that of the as-fabricated due to weak fiber-matrix interfacial strength with chemical reaction during the thermal processing. The fatigue crack growth experiments were conducted with specimens having the fiber orientation normal to the crack growth direction (longitudinal) and also specimens with the fibers oriented parallel to the crack growth direction(transverse). A comparison of the fatigue crack growth behavior indicates that aged longitudinal specimens are more resistant to fatigue crack growth the as-fabricated longitudinal specimens. Conversely, as-fabricated transverse specimens are more resistant to fatigue crack growth than aged transverse specimens.

In this paper a computational method for a homogenized peridynamics description of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites is presented. For these materials, dynamic brittle fracture and damage are simulated with the proposed peridynamic model. Compared with observations from dynamic experiments by Coker et al.(2001), the peridynamic computational model can reproduce various characteristics of dynamic fracture and supersonic or intersonic crack growth in asymmetrically loaded unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite plates. Also we analyze the same model in the symmetric loading condition and figure out that the asymmetric loading leads to a much higher propagation speed. Consistent results have been reported in the experiments.

The fiber-reinforced composite materials have been advanced for various applications because of their excellent mechanical and electromagnetic properties. On their manufacturing processes, however, thermo-curing inherently produces the undesired thermal deformation mainly from temperature drop from the process temperature to the room temperature, so called spring-back. The spring-back must be understood especially in the hybrid composites in order to design and fabricate desired shape. In this research, (glass fiber / epoxy) + (carbon fiber / epoxy) unsymmetric hybrid composites were fabricated under various conditions such as cure cycle, laminate thickness, stacking sequence and curing sequence. Coupons were made and spring-back were measured using coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Using the Classical Lamination Theory (CLT) and finite element analysis (ANSYS), the behavior of spring-back were predicted and compared with the experimental data. The results from CLT and FEA agreed well with the experimental data. Although, the spring-back could be reduced by lowering curing temperature, at any case, the spring-back could not be removed completely.

During a compression molding process of Unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composites, control of filling patterns in mold and distribution of fiber is needed to predict the effects of molding parameters on the flow characteristics. To obtain an excellent product and decide optimum molding conditions, it is important to know the relationship between molding conditions and viscosity. In this study, the anisotropic viscosity of the Unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composites is measured by using the parallel plastometer. The model for flow state has been simulated by using the viscosity. The composites is treated as an incompressible New-tonian fluid. The effects of longitudinal/transverse viscosity ration A and slip parameter $\alpha$ on buldging phenomenon and mold filling patterns, are also discussed.

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)

섬유강화 복합재료의 계면 강도는 강화재와 메트릭스간의 계면특성, 강화용 섬유의 표면처리 및 섬유간의 거리 등에 많은 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 섬유간의 거리가 섬유강화 복합재료의 계면특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해, E glass fiber/epoxy 복합재료의 시험편을 제작하고, 섬유의 표면처리 및 섬유파괴가 이웃하는 섬유파괴에 영향을 미치는 거리에 대해 고찰하였다. E glass fiber/epoxy 복합재료의 계면 전단강도는 섬유간 거리 $0{\sim}50{\mu}m$ 사이에서는 섬유의 표면처리와는 관계없이 섬유간 거리가 증가할수록 증가하였고, 섬유간 거리 $50{\mu}m$ 이상에서는 섬유간거리에 관계없이 계면전단강도는 일정하였다.

Textile composites란 직물, 편성물, 브레이드 등을 사용한 섬유강화 복합재료의 총칭으로서 텍스타일이 지닌 뛰어난 기능을 매트릭스에 부가함에 따라 단일재료로는 얻지 못하는 뛰어난 공업재료를 만들 수 있다. 편성물은 직물이나 브레이드에 비해서, 변형특성도 매우 우수하고 고생산성이다. 복합재료에서 강화재로 편성물을 사용하는 경우, 섬유소재, 편조직, 편환 밀도 등을 고려하는 것에 의하여 편성물 강화 복합재료의 역학적 특성이 달라진다. (중략)

Vacuum Hot Pressing을 이용하여 제조한 TiNi형상기억섬유 강화 6061 AI기지 복합재료를 제조하고 미세조직 및 기계적 특성 등을 연구하였다. 제조된 복합재의 항복응력은 예비변형량, 섬유체적율 및 열처리에 따라 증가하였다. 복합재의 지적특성은 예비변형이 가하여진 후 재가열되었을 때 기지 내 TiNi 섬유의 형상기억효과에 의한 압축잔류응력 발생에 기인된다. 미세조직 관찰 섬유와 기지 사이에는 AI$_{3}$Ti및 AI$_{3}$Ni의 금속간화합물층이 관찰되었다. 또한 시험온도 증가와 더불어 TiNi섬유강화된 복합재의 유동강도는 높은 값을 나타내었다.
