The lubricant tribological characteristics of $Al_2O_3$ fiber and SiC particle hybrid metal matrix composites (MMCs) fabricated by squeeze casting method was investigated using a pin-on-disk wear tester. The wear tests of the MMCs were performed according to fiber/particle hybrid ratio in the planar-random (PR) and normal (N) orientations sliding against a counter steel disk at a fixed speed and $25\;kg_f$ loading under different sliding distances and temperatures. The test results showed that the wear behavior of MMCs varied with fiber orientation and hybrid ratio. At room temperature, the lubricant wear behavior of F20P0 unhybrid PR-MMCs was superior to that of N-MMCs while the hybrid composites exhibited the reverse lubricant wear behavior. It was also revealed that the wear resistance of PR-MMCs was superior to that of the N-MMCs due to the joint action of reinforcements and lubricant film between the friction surfaces at an elevated temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ for both fiber only and hybrid cases. In case of $150^{\circ}C$, although the trend of weight loss was similar to that of others, the wear resistance of PR-MMCs was better than that of N-MMCs for hybrid MMCs.

This paper aims to evaluate the variation in the mechanical properties of carbon/epoxy composites under in situ low- and high-temperature environments. In situ low- and high-temperature environments were simulated with temperature ranging from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $220^{\circ}C$ using an environmental chamber and furnace. The variation in the mechanical properties of the composites was measured for longitudinal and transverse tensile properties, in-plane shear properties and interlaminar shear strength. Under the low temperature of $-40^{\circ}C$, all mechanical properties increased moderately compared to the baseline properties measured at room temperature. The changes in the longitudinal tensile properties decreased moderately with increasing temperature. However, transverse tensile properties, in-plane shear properties and interlaminar shear strength each showed a significant drop due to the glass transition behavior of the matrix after $140^{\circ}C$. Notably, the tensile property value near $100^{\circ}C$ increased compared to baseline property value, which was an unusual occurrence. This behavior was a direct result of post-curing of the epoxy resin due to its exposure to high temperature.

The thermal properties of carbon/phenolic and silica/phenolic ablative composites were investigated by measuring the heat capacity, thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity. The heat capacities of carbon/ phenolic and silica/phenolic composites were calculated from differential scanning calorimeter curve. The thermal diffusivities of carbon/phenolic and silica/phenolic composites were measured by the laser flash method with varying laminated direction, i.e., with laminar direction and across laminar direction. The thermal diffusivities decreased with increasing temperature. The thermal conductivities of carbon/phenolic and silica/phenolic composites were calculated using the heat capacity, density and thermal diffusivity. The thermal conductivities increased with increasing temperature. The thermal conductivity of with laminar direction is two times higher than that of across-laminar direction in carbon/phenolic composite due to the directionality of thermal conductivity of carbon fiber. The thermal conductivities of two dimensional fiber reinforced composites were analyzed using the conductivities of constituents and volume fraction of each constituent. The thermal conductivities of carbon fiber and silica fiber were calculated from thermal conductivities of carbon/phenolic and silica/phenolic composites. The thermal conductivities of carbon/phenolic and silica/phenolic composites at RT were predicted from thermal conductivities of fiber and resin with varying the volume fraction of fiber.

비교적 묽은 섬유현탁액의 압출팽창 유동을 수치모사하기 위하여 유동장과 섬유배 향 사이의 상호작용을 고려하고 연속체이론에 기초한 유변방정식을 사용하였다. 또한 섬유 배향분포를 얻기 위하여 배향텐서로 표시된 섬유배향방정식을 사용하였는데 이때 섬유간 상 호작용의 효과를 고려해 주기 위하여 현상학적 확산항을 추가하였다. 실험결과와 비교가 용 이한 원통관을 통과하는 섬유현탁액의 압출팽창 유동을 수치모사한 결과 관 입구에서 섬유 가 유선방향으로 정렬되어 유입될 때 현탁강도가 증가함에 따라 팽창비는 감소함을 알수 있 었다. 하지만 관 길이가 짧고 또한 관 입구에서 섬유가 임의 배향상태로 유입될 경우에는 반대로 팽창비가 증가함을 보였다. 관 입구에서의 다른 배향상태에 의해 발생하는 팽창비의 서로다른 경향은 외부 표면부분과 내부중심부분의 신장점도의 차이로 설명할 수 있었다.

화학저항식(Chemiresistive) 가스센서의 저항변화를 향상시키기 위해서는 센서 소재의 비표면적을 향상시키는 방향 및 전자천이를 증가시키는 방향으로 연구가 진행되어야 하며, 그 중 센서의 비표면적을 향상시키는 예로써 중공 나노섬유가 있을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 비표면적의 향상뿐만 아니라 중공 나노섬유의 전자천이를 증가시켜 센서의 검출 성능을 더욱 향상시키기 위한 목적으로 $TiO_2/ZnO$ 이중층 중공 나노섬유를 제안하었다. 제안된 $TiO_2/ZnO$ 이중층 중공 나노섬유는 템플레이트 합성법을 통해 제작되었으며, 그 공정은 다음과 같다; 전기방사(Electrospinning) 공정을 통해 폴리머 나노섬유를 제작한 후 $TiO_2$ 층과 ZnO 층을 ALD(Atomic Layer Deposition) 공정을 통해 차례대로 증착시킨다. 그 후 후열처리 공정을 통해 코어 폴리머를 제거함으로써 $TiO_2/ZnO$ 이중층 중공 나노섬유를 얻을 수 있다. 이 때, ZnO 층의 두께는 각각 달리하여 제작되었으며, 최종적으로 이들에 대한 가스 센싱 특성 및 메커니즘에 대한 체계적인 조사를 진행하였다. 단층 중공나노섬유는 셀 층의 두께가 Debye length와 유사할 때 셀 층 표면이 완전공핍층이 형성되고, 그 보다 크게 되면 부분적인 공핍층이 형성되게 되어 감응도가 감소하게 된다. 그러나 이중층 중공 나노섬유의 경우 셀 층의 두께가 Debye length 보다 더 크게 되더라도 TiO2와 ZnO의 헤테로접합으로 인해 ZnO에서 TiO2로 전자의 이동을 야기시키게 되어 환원성 가스에 대한 감응도가 단층 ZnO 중공 나노섬유에 비해 향상되게 된다.

Finite element analysis of T-beam laminate structure under bending-torsional loading was conducted to prevent the delamination which is the major failure behavior on laminated composites. Three-dimensional preform, which is that fabric is braided through thickness direction, is suggested from the laminate analysis. The analysis aimed to optimize the fiber ratio in laminated composites. After it is suggested that guideline for design of T-beam structure using commercial software ANSYS Composites PrePost. The results show that strength of T-beam structure is increased 21.6% when the fiber density along with beam length direction is two times bigger than transverse direction. It is expected that development of high strength T-beam structure using designed three-dimensional preform.

In this study, the performance of composite safety barriers was evaluated through computer simulation. A composite safety barrier of SB4 grade was modeled. The MAT58 material model provided by LS-DYNA software was used to model composite material. The performance of composite material varies according to fiber, resin type, and fiber direction. Polyurethane resin and glass fiber were used. The performance of three different stacking designs was evaluated by carrying out vehicle impact simulation. The performance evaluation based on the vehicle crash manual includes the structural strength performance, the passenger protection performance, the vehicle behavior after crash, scattering of the guardrail. As the result of the finite element analysis, the barrier composed of the more transverse direction fibers shows the better performance on the impact simulation.
