The effects of fiber orientation on acoustic emission(AE) characteristics have been studied for the unidirectional and satin-weave, continuous glass-fiber reinforced plastic(UD-GFRP and SW-GFRP) tensile specimens. Reflection and transmission optical microscopy was used for investigation of the damage zone of specimens. AE signals were classified as different types by using short time fourier transform(STFT) : AE signals with high intensity and high frequency band were due to fiber fracture, while weak AE signals with low frequency band were due to matrix and interfacial cracking. The feature in the rate of hit-events having high amplitudes showed a process of fiber breakages, which expressed the characteristic fracture processes of individual fiber-reinforced plastics with different fiber orientations and with different notching directions. As a consequence, the fracture behavior of the continuous GFRP could be monitored as nondestructive evaluation(NDE) through the AE technique.

As interest in the eco-friendly ships and lightweight equipment is increasing in the shipbuilding and marine industry, composite materials are applied to equipment such as pipes. In this study, a basalt fiber reinforced furan composite (BFC), an eco-friendly material, was manufactured to apply the pipe insulation cover that requires environment-friendly and heat/flame retardant performance. An optimization study of post-curing conditions of BFC was conducted, and experiments and analysis were performed on mechanical strength, heat/flame retardant properties, and affinity properties. Finally, as a result of the study BFC material is proved to be a good candidate to apply pipe insulation cover.

Carbon particle based nanocomposites have been studied. Nanocomposites containing CNT and graphite particles were manipulated by aligning the micro/nano-size particles with electric field. Electric field is applied to the suspension of epoxy matrix and particulate inclusions in order to align them along the direction of the electric field. Particles aligned in a uniform direction act as a fiber in a CFRP composite. The mechanical strength and physical characteristics highly depend on particles' distribution pattern and amount. In this study, the characteristics of radioactive barrier are emphasized, which has been rarely discussed in the literature. A number of sample coupons were tested to verify their performance. The procedure of manufacturing nanocomposites by means of extremely small size particle alignment is presented in sequence. Several physical and structural performances of composites containing aligned and randomly distributed particles were compared. The results show particle alignment is very effective to enhance directional strength and radioactive barrier performance.

섬유강화 복합재료의 사용이 점점 증가함에 따라 구조용 및 내장재 등으로 사용된 수명이 다한 섬유강화 복합재료의 사용후 폐기가 문제가 되고 있다. 특히, 자동차 부품, 건축자재 및 전기절연재 등으로 가장 많이 사용되는 유리섬유 복합재료의 폐기물이 급격히 증가하여 환경 오염문제가 심각해지고 있어서, 환경 친화적인 새로운 복합재료에 대한 필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 천연섬유를 이용한 천연섬유/생분해성 수지계 복합소재를 대상으로 환경적합성이 우수하고 자연환경에서 완전한 생분해성을 가지며, 유리 섬유복합재료를 대체할 물성이 우수한 새로운 Biocomposite를 개발하고자 하였다.

섬유 강화 고분자 복합재료에서 강화재인 섬유와 매트릭스의 계면은 복합재료의 물성에 지대한 영향을 미친다. 섬유와 매트릭스의 물성 차이 즉, 탄성율, 열팽창 계수, 경화시의 수축, 결정화도 등의 차이뿐만 아니라 하중이 가해질 때 응력 집중 (stress concentration) 현상이 계면에서 일어난다[1]. 유리섬유를 강화재로 사용한 복합재료에서 유리섬유는 표면이 hydroxyl기로 덮여 있기 때문에 친수성이 매우 크고 또한 마찰이나 정전기에 의해 손상을 받기 쉬운 단점이 있다. 따라서 매트릭스 수지와의 계면 접착력을 향상시키고 제조 공정 중에 섬유를 마찰이나 정전기로부터 보호하기 위한 처리가 필요하며 이들 "sizing" 이라고 한다[2,3].고 한다[2,3].

The compression molding is widely used in the automotive industry to produce products that are large, thin, lightweight and stiff. The molded product is formed by squeezing a fiber-reinforced plastic composites. During a molding process of fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, control of filling patterns in mold, orientation and distribution of fibers are needed to predict the effects of molding parameters on the flow characteristics. It is the objective of this paper to develop an isothermal compression molding simulation that can handle both thin and thick charges and motion of the flow front, and can predict pressure distributions and accurate velocity gradients. The composites are treated as an incompressible Newtonian fluid. The effects of slip parameter $\alpha$ and extensional/shear viscosity ratio $\zeta$ on the mold filling parameters are also discussed.

The objective of this research was to develop a practical integrated approach using extracted features from electrical resistance measurements and coupled electromechanical models of damage, for in-situ damage detection and sensing in carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) composites. To achieve this objective, we introduced specific known damage (in terms of type, size, and location) into CFRP laminates and established quantitative relationships with the electrical resistance measurements. For processing of numerous measurement data, an autonomous data acquisition system was devised. We also established a specimen preparation procedure and a method for electrode setup. Coupon and panel CFRP laminate specimens with several known damage were tested. Coupon specimens with various sizes of artificial delaminations obtained by inserting Teflon film were manufactured and the resistance was measured. The measurement results showed that increase of delamination size led to increase of resistance implying that it is possible to sense the existence and size of delamination. A quasi-isotropic panel was manufactured and electrical resistance was measured. Then three different sizes of holes were drilled at a chosen location. The panel was prepared using the established procedures with six electrode connections on each side making a total of twenty-four electrodes. Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal pairs of electrodes were chosen and the resistance was measured. The measurement results showed the possibility of the established measurement system for an in-situ damage detection method for CFRP composite structures.
