In various industry, the composite is tried to be applied to products and thermoplastic based composite is in the spotlight because this composite can be recycled. The use of continuous fiber thermoplastic (CFT) method increased gradually than long fiber thermoplastic (LFT). In this study, tensile, flexural, and impact test of different array types of glass fiber (GF)/thermoplastic composites were performed to compare with GF array. Impregnation property between GF mat and thermoplastic was determined using computed tomography (CT). At CFT method, thermoplastic film is not wet into GF roving and many voids are appeared into composite. This phenomenon affects to decrease mechanical properties. Plain pattern GF mat was the best mechanical and impregnation properties that distance between two roving was set closely to $100{\mu}m$.

This paper deals with anisotropic property and structural analysis for short fiber reinforced plastic composites manufactured by the injection molding process. The common approach for modeling this type of material is the consideration of the material as homogenous and isotropic. However, the common isotropy approach often results in unexpected failure. To overcome this, new structure analysis methodology was developed in order to consider fiber orientation effect using injection mold flow analysis and Halpin-Tsai equations for unidirectional composites and taking an orientation average. The numerical predictions are compared to experimental data for tensile specimen. The predicted mechanical properties agree well with experimental data for fiber orientation and weld line effect. The analysis system was also applied to an automobile part. The proposed anisotropic model predicted different mechanical properties by position of the part and different mechanical performance of the part was changed according to injection gate position.

This research is focused on the investigation of impact strength and the microscopic observation of material behavior of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in solid phase forming. The fiber weight per-centage of the composite materials was 20%, 30% and 40%. The solid-phase formed specimens were pre-strained to 10%,20%. and 30% strain levels. The forming temperatures of specimens were $100^{\circ}C$, $125^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$. Izod impact test was performed with unnotched specimens. With increasing the glass fiber content ; the impact strength was increased.

The tensile strength and failure mechanisms of glass fiber polypropylene (GF/PP) composites are investigated in the temperature range from ambient to 8$0^{\circ}C$. The tensile strength increases as fiber volume fraction ratio increase. The tensile strength shows a maximum at ambient temperature, and it tens to decrease as temperature goes up. Major failure mechanisms of GF/PP composites can be classified as fiber matrix debonding, fiber pull-out, delamination and matrix deformation.

산업의 발전과 더불어 새로운 재료의 개발에 대한 요구가 날로 증가하고 있으며 이와 같은 요구에 부응하기위하여 각종의 신소재가 개발되고있다. 이들 신소재 중에서 섬유강화 복합재료는 높은 비탄성과 비강도특성 때문에 구조물의 경량화가 요구되는 우주선, 항공기 등에 주로 이용 되어 왔으며 최근에는 복합재료의 가격이 저렴해 지면서 이 재료의 높은 비탄성과 감쇠특성을 이용하고자 스포츠용품 및 기계 부품에도 섬유강화 복합재료의 이용이 증가 되고 있다. 항공기나 고속회전체의 부품을 복합재료로 제작하였을 경우 복합재료를 다른 금속이나 다른 복합재료부품에 접합(joining)시켜야 하는데 이 때문에구조물의 효율은 Joint에서 주로 죄우된다. Joint를 제작하기 위해서는 복합재료의 표면을 가공한 수 Adhesive를 이용하거나 Bolt로 체결하기 위해 구멍 뚫기 작업이 필요하여 드릴링을 하였을때 이 재료가 매우 연마성이 강하여 심한 공구마멸을 일으키며, 드릴의 입구와 출구쪽에서 각 ply들의 박리 현상이 발생하고, 드릴가공된 벽면으로부터 섬유 또는 레진의 탈락현상등이 발생하는 결점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 결점을 최소화하여 고정밀도의 높은 생산성을 얻기위한 가공기술에 대한 자료를 만들고 최적 절삭조건 및 복합재료가공용 드릴의 설계를 위한 지침을 제시하고자 고속도강 표준드릴을 사용하여 유리섬유 에폭시 복합재료및 탄소섬유 에폭시 복합재료의 드릴링 실험에서 절삭조건이 가공면 생성, 공구마멸, 절삭력에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다.

유리섬유와 에폭시 수지와의 계면전단강도에 미치는 수분흡수, 섬유직경 및 섬유의표면상태 등의 영향을 검토하기 위해서 two fiber fragmentation 시험법을 사용하였다. 그리고 유리섬유/에폭시 수지의 일방향 복합재료에서 수분흡수가 복합재료의 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 검토하였다. 그 결과, two fiber fragmentation시험에서 계면전단강도는 수분흡수량 및 섬유직경이 클수록 작게 나타났으며, sizing한 것이 desizing한 것보다 크게 나타났다. 또 수분흡습에 의해 감소되었던 계면전단강도는 건조에 의해서 처음의 값의 약 50-60%까지 회복됨을 나타내었다. 그리고 일방향 복합재료의 인장강도는 수분흡수량이 증가함에 따라 현저히 감소함을 보였다.

The fiber-reinforced composite materials have been advanced for various applications because of their excellent mechanical and electromagnetic properties. On their manufacturing processes, however, thermo-curing inherently produces the undesired thermal deformation mainly from temperature drop from the process temperature to the room temperature, so called spring-back. The spring-back must be understood especially in the hybrid composites in order to design and fabricate desired shape. In this research, (glass fiber / epoxy) + (carbon fiber / epoxy) unsymmetric hybrid composites were fabricated under various conditions such as cure cycle, laminate thickness, stacking sequence and curing sequence. Coupons were made and spring-back were measured using coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Using the Classical Lamination Theory (CLT) and finite element analysis (ANSYS), the behavior of spring-back were predicted and compared with the experimental data. The results from CLT and FEA agreed well with the experimental data. Although, the spring-back could be reduced by lowering curing temperature, at any case, the spring-back could not be removed completely.

In this study, the effect of mechanical and chemical properties of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic (GFRTPs) according to the number of recycling was confirmed. The composite materials were manufactured through a hot press compression molding process using an E-glass chopped strand mat and a polypropylene film. Four specimens were named according to the number of recycled test repeat: First manufacture, 1st Recycle, 2nd Recycle, and 3rd Recycle. To investigate the mechanical properties of the prepared specimen, tensile test, flexural test, drop-weight impact test, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and field emission electron gun-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was performed. As a result, as the number of recycling steps repeat, the degree of crystallization, tensile strength, elastic modulus, and flexural strength were increased, but the impact properties were greatly reduced.

Poly(olefin ketone) terpolymer having excellent mechanical properties was synthesized and composite materials of poly(olefin ketone) containing polyurethane/amino silane functionalized glass fibers were prepared. The compatibilities between the functionalized glass fiber and the polymer were characterized by observing the fracture surfaces of the composites using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Mechanical properties of composites with different contents, diameters, lengths, and binders of glass fibers were also studied using universal testing machine (UTM). The introduction of suitably functionalized glass fiber into the poly(olefin ketone) produces composite materials having excellent mechanical properties and they are very promising alternative materials for the engineering plastic applications.

Warpage of the film insert molded (FIM) part is caused by an asymmetric residual stress distribution. Asymmetric residual stress and temperature distribution is generated by the retarded heat transfer in the perpendicular direction to the attached film surface. Since warpage was not prevented by controlling injection molding conditions, glass fiber (GF) filled composites were employed as substrates for film insert molding to minimize the warpage. Distribution of short GFs was evaluated by using micro-CT equipment. Proper models for micro mechanics, anisotropic thermal expansion coefficients, and closure approximation should be selected in order to calculate fiber orientation tensor and warpage of the FIM part with the composite substrate. After six kinds of micro mechanics models, three models of the thermal expansion coefficient and five models of the closure approximation had been considered, the Mori-Tanaka model, the Rosen and Hashin model, and the third orthotropic closure approximation were selected in this study. The numerically predicted results on fiber orientation tensor and warpage were in good agreement with experimental results and effects of GF reinforcement on warpage of the FIM composite specimen were identified by the numerical results.
