Short fiber reinforced composites manufactured by injection molding have diverse fiber orientations variable with measuring positions even in the same specimen, which is caused by the flow induced fiber orientation. Fiber orientations considerably affect the mechanical and thermal properties of final composite products. In this study, fiber orientation of injection molded carbon fiber reinforced PA6/PPO composite was measured at several points of the specimen by optical microscopy analysis and the corresponding izod impact strength, coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) were also measured to investigate the influence of local fiber orientation on the mechanical and thermal properties. Izod impact strength where fiber was perpendicular to the direction of crack propagation was higher than where fiber was parallel to the direction, which could be explained be the impact resistance reinforcing mechanism by fiber orientation. CTE was also lower where fiber was parallel to the measurement direction of CTE than where fiber was perpendicular to the direction, which could be also explained by the dimensional stability mechanism by fiber orientation.

광통신 분야에서 파장분할 방식(WDM)이 널리 이용됨에 따라, 파장 가감기는 광통신의 핵심 소자로 주목받고 있다. 특히, 광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용한 전광섬유(All-fiber) 소자는 좁은 선택파장 특성을 만족시키며 삽입손실이 작다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기울어진 광섬유 브래그 격자(Tilted FBG)와 모드분할 방향성 결합기(Mode Selective Coupler, MSC)의 광섬유 공간모드(spatial mode)결합을 이용한 전광섬유 파장 가감기에 대하여 설명하고 있으며, 보다 좋은 성능의 소자제작을 위해 몇 가지 새로운 제작방법을 제안하고 구현하였다.

복합재료를 이용하여 부품제작을 한 후 어떠한 결합방법을 채택할 것인가를 결정할 때 고려해 야할 점을 기계적 결합법과 접착결합법을 비교하여 검토하였다. 기계적 결합은 하중을 많이 받고 분해 및 결합이 자주 예상되는 부품에 채택해야 할 것이며 복합재료의 특성을 고려하여 보강 시에 부착하는 평판의 섬유방향은 가급적 드릴구멍주위를 부드럽게 하여 응력집중을 낮출 수 있으며 하중의 종류에 따라 적층의 섬유방향을 조절함으로서 응력집중을 조절할 수 있다. 드릴 구멍 주위인 파손은 평판의 폭과 구멍의 직경등이 크게 작용함으로 강도해석을 할 경우에 응력 해석을 한 후 허용응력등을 결정해야할 것이다. 접착졀합법은 작업이 간단하나 신뢰도가 떨어지 므로 하중을 많이 받는 구조물에의 사용에 주의를 요하며 설계방법도 매우 다양하게 제안되어 있어 선택함에 있어 하중 환경조건등을 점검해야할 것이다. 접착결합법은 드릴구멍같은 불연속 성을 갖지 않기 때문에 응력집중이 생기지 않으나 접착층의 길이등 기하학적 형상에 따라 다르게 나타남으로 잡착층의 분리가 일어나지 않도록 설계되어야 한다. 특히 복합재료의 이방성인 성 질을 감안하여 접착층에 이웃하는 피접착층의 섬유방향에 주의해야 하며 층간응력이 파손에 미 치는 영향을 고려하여 설계에 임해야 한다.

This paper presents the mix composition, production method, and curing condition applied to the extruded ECC(Engineered Cementitious Composite) panel which are able to exhibit multiple cracking and potential pseudo strain-hardening behavior. In addition to the production technique of extruded ECC panel, the effect of fiber distribution characteristics, which are uniquely created by applying extrusion process, on the flexural behavior of the panel is also focussed. In order to demonstrate fiber distribution, a series of experiments and analyses, including image processing/analysis and micro-mechanical analysis, was performed. The optimum mix composition of extruded ECC panel was determined in terms of water matrix ratio, the amount of cement, ECC powder, and silica powder. It was found that flexural behavior of extruded ECC panel was highly affected by the slight difference in mix composition of ECC panel. This is mainly because the difference in mix composition results in the change of micro-mechanical properties as well as fiber distribution characteristics, represented by fiber dispersion and orientation. In terms of the average fiber orientation, the fiber distribution was found to be similar to the assumption of two dimensional random distribution, irrespective of mix composition. In contrast, the probability density function for fiber orientation was measured to be quite different depending on the mix composition.

Interfacial stress singularity in a unidirectional two-dimensional laminate model consisting of an elastic fiber and a viscoelastic matrix has been investigated using the time-domain boundary element method. First, the interfacial singular stresses between the fiber and the matrix of a unidirectional laminate subjected to a uniform transverse tensile strain have been investigated near the free surface, but without any defect or any edge crack. Such a stress singularity might lead to fiber-matrix debonding or interfacial edge cracks. Then, the overall stress intensity factor for the case of a small interfacial edge crack of length a has been computed.

It is shown that Paul and Jones' Rule of Mixtures modified by Smith and Cox's theory can be used for the fiber-reinforced, sulfur-based composites, when the constant for the linear regression equation is given. The computation results, programmed by Hewlett Packard 75C (HP 75C) using math rom pack for the linear regression form, expressed as $E_c=\frac{1}{3}aE_fV_f+bE_mV_m$, turn out to be a=3.27-3.54 b=-2.47~-2.80. This results indicate that the factors such as density of fiber mat and the amount of matrix used have nothing for affecting the numerical value of the constants a and b of the linear regression form. Conclusively this results also show that the Paul and Jones' Rule of Mixtures which has been used for the composites made by randomly-oriented long fiber can also be used for the composites made by short fiber with the same fiber orientation such as wood and lignocellulosic fibers.

전방향족 폴리에스테르계 열방성 액정중합체(Vectra A-950)를 대상으로 유로가 확 장되는 다이로의 압출을 통하여 액정 섬유상의 배향 특성을 조사하고 이들이 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다, 다이의 확장 효과에 의하여 중심에서는 유동방향과 수직방향으 로 섬유상이 이중 배향되었으며 가장자리에서는 주로 유동방향으로만 배향이 일어났다. 그 리고 배향 특성은 두께방향으로 상하 대칭성을 갖는 바깥 영역과 중간영역으로 구별되었으 며 겉층은 유동방향으로 배향되고 속층은 중심에서 멀어지면서 배향각이 점진적으로 달라졌 다. 이런한 시편의 기계적 강도는 압출다이의 확장각이 증가하거나 스크류 속도가 증가함으 로 따라 유동방향이나 그 수직방향 모두 현저한 증가를 보였으나 파단신도는 유동방향은 감 소하고 수직방향은 증가하여 증가하여 결과적으로 거의 비슷하였으며 파단신도가 배향상태 를 가장 잘 반영하는 기계적 특성임을 알 수 있었다.

전기절연재의 구조재로 많이 사용되고 있는 FRP(fiber reinforced plastics)는 열경화성 수지를 접착성 결합제(binder)로 하고 고강도 섬유를 보강재로 한 복합재료로서 기계적, 화학적, 전기적 특성이 매우 우수하다. FRP의 기계적 강도는 유리섬유에 의존 하고 있으므로 유리섬유의 방향과 힘을 가하는 방향에 따라서 그 강도의 차이는 매우 크게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 섬유의 배향에 따른 강도의 변화를 이해하기 위하여 시편을 제작하여 압축강도를 측정하고 압축강도와 응력의 분포를 유한요소법으로 시뮬레이션하였다. FRP rod에 압축응력이 가해졌을 때 섬유의 배향에 따른 파괴강도와 응력의 분포를 유한요소법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하였고 모델링에는 3-D Shell과 3-D Brick 요소를 사용하였다. 제작된 시편의 강도특성과 시뮬레이션을 통한 응력의 분포를 서로 비교하여 시편의 파괴에 미치는 응력을 고찰하였다.

In this study, polyimide(PI) nanofibers mats were prepared by electrospinning and three different fiber morphologies of random, uniaxial, and biaxial orientation were prepared by controlling the speed of drum-shaped collector and other parameters. The SEM studies reveal that the aforesaid morphologies were obtained on the nano-fibrous mats prepared. The ionic conductivity was measured using an in-plane type conductivity tester for the PI mats soaked in the mixture of 1M lithium trifluoro-methane-sulfonate and tetra-ethylene glycol dimethyl ether. The ionic conductivity was surprisingly higher for the biaxial PI mats. For the uniaxially-oriented mats, the ionic conductivity was found to be higher in the parallel direction compared to the perpendicular direction of the fiber orientation. A curious cyclic fluctuation was found in the ionic conductivity with time. The observed behavior was explained by considering the distance between fibers and transport speed of ions used in this study.

The extensional stiffness in quasi-isotropic laminates is uniform in the radial direction, but the bending stiffness varies radially due to the stacking sequence. This paper addresses the directional dependency of the bending stiffness and its radial variation in three types of quasi-isotropic laminate reflectors consisting of unidirectional fiber composite materials (UDM) and randomly distributed composite materials (short fiber, RDM). The extensional stiffness and bending stiffness in optical reflectors using RDM are uniform, while the bending stiffness in those using UDM varies radially from 11% to 26%. Also, the stiffness sensitivity, such as the bend-twist or bend-torsion effect, due to the differences in the stiffness value in the composite, is large. These factors are problematic in the optical field requiring precision surfaces. Utilizing RDM might be one way to eliminate the presence of bending stiffness in composite mirror substrates.
