In aerospace industry, the improvement of structural performance of fight structure without increasing weight has great advantage. In this study. an innovative design method to increase the buckling load and tension failure load at the same time without increasing the weight of composite plates was investigated. By using the curvilinear fiber format a method to increase the buckling load and tension failure load simultaneously was investigated for composite plates with central hole with finite element method. It was investigated how much gain can be obtained with curvilinear fiber format for the plates with different hole size and different stacking sequence. And, for the cases studied, the failure mechanism was also investigated. For the manufacturing of the curvilinear fiber format, smoothly and continuously changing fiber path is necessary. In this study, a simple method to find the smoothly changing fiber path by using the fiber angles obtained with finite element method was presented.

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 order to evaluate the strength of carbody structures of railway rolling stock made of laminated fiber-reinforced composite materials, total laminate approach was introduced. Structural analyses were conducted to check the basic design of hybrid composite carbody structures of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of 180km/h. The mechanical tests were also conducted to obtain strengths of composite laminates. The results show that all stress components of composite carbody structures are inside of failure envelopes and total laminate approach is recommended to predict the failure of hybrid composite carbody structures at the stage of the basic design.

At the modern industry, the composite material has been widely used. Particularly, the material of carbon fiber reinforced plastic hardened with resin on the basis of fiber is excellent. As the specific strength and rigidity are also superior, it receives attention as the light material. Among these materials, the carbon fiber reinforced plastic using carbon fiber has the superior mechanical property different from another fiber. So, it is utilized in vehicle and airplane at which high strength and light weight are needed at the same time. In this paper, the tensile property due to the fiber design is investigated through the analysis study with CT specimen composed of carbon plastic reinforced plastic. At the stress analysis of CFRP composite material with hole, the fracture trend at the tensile environment is examined. Also, it is shown that the lowest stress value happens and the deformation energy of the pre-crack becomes lowest at the analysis model composed of the stacking angle of 60° through the result due to the stacking angle. On the basis of this study result, it is thought to apply the foundation data to anticipate the fracture configuration at the structure applied with the practical experiment.

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.

This paper investigates equivalent stress and deformation happening at inner fiber structure when the tensile force acts on the specimen with arch type composed of carbon fiber. The countless many each fiber is applied on the unidirectional axis at CFRP and has the high specific strength and stiffness by comparing with iron. In this study, the distribution of stress due to radius is investigated at the structure of arch type composed with the optimum stacking angle of $60^{\circ}$. And the durability is seen to be lower as the radius increases at the same stacking angle. By applying the result of this study to the design of structure with arch type, it can be devoted to the safe design for the prevention of damage and the durabilty improvement. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at the designed factor and show the esthetic sense.

In an effort to construct a structure under the design principle of minimal use of materials for maximum performances, a discrete gradient structure has been introduced in laminate composite systems. Using a sequential linear programming method, the gradient structure of composites to maximize the buckling load was optimized in terms of fiber volume fraction and thickness of each layer. The buckling load showed maximum value with the outmost [$0^{\circ}$] layer concentrated by almost all the fibers when the ratio of length to width(aspect ratio) was less than 1.0. But when the aspect ratio was 2.0, the optimum was determined in a structure where the thickness and fiber volume fraction were well-balanced in each layer. From the optimization of gradient structure, the optimal fiber volume fraction and thickness of each layer were proposed. Gradient structures have also shown an advantage in the weight reduction of composites compared with the conventional homogeneous structures.

In this study the optimal stacking section was selected by pendulum impact test for six different stacking sections of the composite safety barrier. The beam cross-section shape was determined through the poll on six different beam cross-section shapes. The six kinds of stacking design for the determined beam cross-section were suggested. CSM, DB, DBT and Roving fibers were used for stacking design. Horizontal beam and 3:1 sloped beam were modeled by using LS-DYNA. The fall impact simulation was carried out by using rectangular pendulum and cylinder pendulum. Optimal stacking section was determined by comparing and analyzing the impact simulation results.

본 연구에서는 섬유강화 복합재료로 구성된 항공기 날개를 외팔보 형태 구조물로 모델링하고 동특성 해석을 위해 횡전단변형 이론과 고전 적층판 이론을 적용, Rayleigh-Ritz 방법에 의한 진동해석을 수행한뒤 진동 발생시 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 동특성 향상을 정량적으로 제시하였다. 진동을 제어하기 위한 방법으로서 수동적, 능동적 방법을 모두 사용하고 있는데, (보다 자세한 사항은 참고문헌[12] 참조) 본 연구에서는 TMD(Tuned Mass Damper)를 사용하지 않고 복합소재 구조물의 성질을 이용한 탄성배열설계(Structural Tailoring)로 수동적 의미의 면진효과를 거둘 수 있게 하였다. 능동 제어의 경우 되먹임(feedback) 제어기를 이용, 이산(discret) 작동기(actuator)를 통하여 외팔보의 휨 및 비틀림 모우드를 함께 제어하여 효과적인 제어기를 설계하였다.
