Open-hole tensile tests are usually performed to measure the tensile strengths of composites as they are an essential parameter for designing composite structures. However, correctly modeling the tensile test is extremely challenging as it involves various damages such as fiber and matrix damage, delamination, and debonding damage between the fiber and matrix. Therefore, a progressive damage model was developed in this study to estimate the in-plane failure and delamination between the fiber and matrix. The Hashin damage model and cohesive zone approach were used to model ply and delamination failures. The results of the present model were compared with previously published experimental and numerical findings. It was observed that neglecting delamination during finite element analysis led to overestimation of tensile strength.

Development of smart construction materials with both self-strain and self-damage sensing capacities is still difficult because of little information about the self-damage sensing source. Herein, we investigate the effects of the matrix strength, fiber geometry, and fiber content on the electrical resistivity of steel-fiber-reinforced cement composites by multi-fiber pullout testing combined with electrical resistivity measurements. The results reveal that the electrical resistivity of steel-fiber-reinforced cement composites clearly decreased during fiber-matrix debonding. A higher fiber-matrix interfacial bonding generally leads to a higher reduction in the electrical resistivity of the composite during fiber debonding due to the change in high electrical resistivity phase at the fiber-matrix interface. Higher matrix strengths, brass-coated steel fibers, and deformed steel fibers generally produced higher interfacial bond strengths and, consequently, a greater reduction in electrical resistivity during fiber debonding.

This study aims at the structural analysis of vibration and fatigue according to the tie rod configuration. The maximum displacement amplitude is happened at 156Hz by harmonic vibration analysis, this tie rod model can be broken as the weakest state. Among the cases of nonuniform fatigue loads, 'SAE bracket history' with the severest change of load becomes most unstable but 'Sine wave' becomes most stable. In case of 'Sine wave' with the average stress of 0MPa and the amplitude stress of 570MPa, the possibility of maximum damage becomes 70%. This stress state can be shown with 140 times more than the damage possibility of 'SAE bracket history' or 'SAE transmission'. The structural result of this study can be effectively utilized with the design on tie rod by investigating prevention and durability against its damage.

This study investigates the fatigue life and the damage possibility of cam shaft by the fatigue tool of Ansys. Among nonconstant fatigue loads, the case of 'SAE Bracket History' which is severest at the variation of load tends to be most unstable. The maximum relative damage in case of 'SAE Bracket History' is occurred near the average stress '0' and this case can be shown to have the possibility to take more damage than other cases. The case of 'Sample History' which becomes a little slow at the variation of load tends to be most stable. But there is most damaged possibility of 5% as 7 times at the range of mean stress from 0Pa to -104MPa and amplitude stress from 0MPa to 104MPa than the case of 'SAE Bracket History' or 'SAE Transmission'.

This study investigates fatigue life and possibility damaged at disk brake of automobile by the simulation of fatigue analysis. Among nonconstant fatigue loads, the case of 'SAE Bracket History' which is the severest at the variation of load tends to be most unstable. The case of 'Sample History' which becomes slower at the variation of load tends to be most stable. The value of maximum relative damage in case of 'SAE Bracket History' is occurred near the average stress '0' and this case can be shown to have the possibility to affect more damage than another case. As the result of this study is applied to automobile parts with non constant loads, durability can be improved during drive by preventing any damage.

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].

본 논문에서는 점탄성 매트릭스와 탄성 강화입자로 구성된 복합재료의 크리프 거동예측을 미세역학 기반의 시뮬레이션을 통하여 수행하였다. 에폭시 고분자로 이루어진 복합재료의 경우 재료 특성상 탄성적 거동뿐 아니라 점성적 거동도 함께 발생하게 된다. 이렇듯 점탄성 거동을 보이는 재료의 경우 탄성만을 고려한 해석방법으로는 한계가 있으며 점성적인 특성 또한 고려되어야 한다. 점탄성 복합재료의 해석을 위해서 손상을 고려한 미세역학 기반의 해석 (Ju and Chen, 1994) 과 Mesquita and Coda (2002)의 근사식을 사용하였다. 이를 통해 구한 재료 물성은 복합재료의 크리프 거동예측을 위한 Kelvin-Voight (KV) 모델과 Standard Linear Solid (SLS) 모델에 적용되었다. 최종적으로 본 연구에서 제안한 손상을 고려한 점탄성 모델의 예측과 시험결과를 비교 수행하여 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다.

The principal objective of this study is to assess the hierarchical effects of defects on the elastic stiffness properties at different levels of observation. In particular, quantitative damage measures which characterize the fundamental mode of degradation in the form of elastic damage provide quite insightful meanings at the level of constitutive relations and at the level of structures. For illustration, a total of three model problems of increasing complexity, a 1-D bar structure, a 2-D stress concentration problem, and a heterogeneous composite material made of a matrix with particle inclusions. Considering a damage scenario for the particle inclusions the material system degrades from a composite with very stiff inclusions to a porous material with an intact matrix skeleton. In other damage scenario for the matrix, the material system degrades from a composite made of a very stiff skeleton to a disconnected assembly of particles because of progressive matrix erosion. The trace-back and forth of tight bounds in terms of the reduction of the lowest eigenvalues are extensively discussed at different levels of observation.

The variable fatigue load is simulated in this study. The stability and the life of the material are analyzed theoretically by Ansys program. These results are successfully applied to the practical wheel to predict the prevention of fracture and the endurance. The life and the damage on the every part of the fatigue specimen can be predicted. As the available lives are compared for every loading variation, the rain flow and damage matrix results can be helpful in determining the effects of small stress cycles in any loading history. The rainbow and damage matrices illustrate the possible effects of infinite life. The safety and stability of wheel and the other practical structures according to the variable load can be estimated by using the results of this study.
