This study investigated the effects of microcapsules on mechanical properties and thermal stability of the composite material containing self-healing microcapsules. To this end, tensile specimens and flexural specimens containing melamine-urea-formaldehyde (M-U-F) shell walled microcapsules with diameters of $70{\sim}130{\mu}m$ were manufactured. Varying amount of microcapsules in the specimens was considered: 0 wt%, 0.5 wt%, and 1.0 wt%. The tensile and flexural tests were conducted to evaluate mechanical properties of the specimens containing the microcapsules and the thermogravimetric analysis test was performed to evaluate the thermal stability of the specimens containing the microcapsules. The results show that the tensile strength of the specimens was sensitive to the amount of the microcapsules compared to the tensile modulus even though the tensile modulus of the specimens was not significantly affected by the amount of the microcapsules. However, reduction of the tensile strength was not linearly proportional to the amount of microcapsules; similar results were observed in the flexural test. The weight changes of the specimens containing the microcapsules, as a function of temperature, were similar to those specimens without microcapsules. The thermal stability of the specimens was not affected significantly by the microcapsules embedded in the specimens.

Currently, there are many discussions about composite materials and 3D printed composite material to weight reduction of ships. A test was conducted to confirm the applicability of the 3D printed composite material to ships and offshore structures by linking the 3D printing technology with excellent productivity and the composite material with corrosion resistance and lightweight characteristics in salt water environments. In order to apply the 3D printed composite material used in this paper to ships and offshore structures, the temperature environmental effects that can be exposed in the marine environment should be considered. Therefore, the tensile test was conducted with specimen of Carbon + Onyx, Carbon + Nylon, HSHT glass + Onyx, HSHT glass + Nylon material in low temperature (-50℃), room temperature (20℃), and high temperature (50℃) environments that can be exposed to the marine environment. As a result of the tensile test, the carbon + onyx specimen showed the highest tensile strength and the HSHT glass + onyx specimen showed the highest tensile strain. In addition, by analyzing the tested specimens, the failure mode of the 3D printed composite material specimens exposed to various temperature environments was analyzed.

The moisture absorption rate and structural strength changes of oven-cured composite skin based on closed molds were studied. Moisture absorption was performed on specimens with and without filler applied. The specimens were exposed to moisture for up to 231 days. Tensile and compression tests were conducted with and without filler application. As a result of the test, the moisture absorption rates of the tensile and compressive specimens without filler were 2.4 and 0.3% higher, respectively, than those with the filler applied. The tensile and compressive strengths of the specimen without filler applied were average 305 MPa and 139 MPa, respectively, and the tensile and compressive strengths of the specimen with filler applied were 313 MPa and 166 MPa, respectively, appeared high.

The application of 3D printing technology is expanding due to the production of the complex-shape parts and the one-step manufacturing process. Moreover, various technical solutions in 3D printing are emerging through continuous research and development. Representative technologies include SLS technology, in which a desired area is sintered and laminated by irradiating a powder-type material with a laser. In addition, high-performance engineering plastic parts are being manufactured in increasing numbers. In this study, tensile specimens were fabricated from polyamide 12, a widely available polymer, and the glass bead-reinforced polyamide 12. The specimen-build orientation was divided into 0°, 45°, and 90° on the fabrication platform, and the tensile test temperature was -25℃, 25℃, and 60℃. The test results showed that the tensile modulus of both materials decreases as the build orientation becomes closer to 90°. In addition, the tensile strength of glass bead-reinforced PA12 showed more dependence on the build orientation than PA12. In addition, the tensile modulus and tensile strength decreased with increasing test temperature.

The compression and tension test were performed to evaluate the stiffnesses of the conical composite lattice structures and results of test were compared with finite element analysis results. Because of difficulty to perform simple tension and compression test due to conical shape, suitable specimens and jig for test were made. Subelements extracted from the structure were prepared for compression test. Compression test of subelement was performed and compressive strains in fiber direction were measured. Compressive stiffness of the helical rib was verified by finite element analysis results. For stiffness of hoop rib, hoop ring specimens were extracted from the structure. Tension test of hoop ring specimen was performed to apply bending deformation to hoop rib. Stiffness of hoop rib was verified by finite element model considering various fiber volume fraction in thickness direction.

원자로 압력용기는 운전기간 동안 중성자 조사에 따른 재료의 기계적 성질이 변화되므로, 용기의 건전성 유지여부를 평가하기 위하여 조사시편을 이용한 주기적인 감시시험이 요구된다. 그러나 감시시편은 방사성 물질로서 일반 환경조건에서 시험이 불가능하다. 따라서 국내의 자력기술로 완공된 조사재시험시설의 핫셀 내에서 감시시험의 주요항목인 온도감시자, 충격, 인장, 파괴인성, 그리고 성분분석 등에 대한 시험을 수행하기 위하여 관련된 규정에 합하도록 장비 및 시험 평가기술을 개발하였다.

In the case of a conventional composite patch repair using a heat blanket, the adhesive is pressurized using only a vacuum bag. In this study, however, a pressurization system has been developed to apply additional air pressure on the vacuum bag. In order to verify the performance of the developed system, the composite laminates were repaired with scarf patches and then tested under tensile load to be compared with the strength of the defect-free laminate. Tensile tests were also conducted on specimens with the same configuration but bonded in an autoclave. As a result of the test, the tensile strengths of the specimens repaired using the heat blanket with vacuum only without external pressure, the specimens repaired with additional pressure by the developed system, and the specimens repaired with the same external pressure in an autoclave, showed the strength recovery ratios of 74.9, 81.0, and 78.2%, respectively. The results of the tensile test after moisture saturation and the dried fatigue test also showed that the strength recovery ratios of the specimens repaired under the external pressure of 1 atm using the developed system are slightly higher than that of specimens bonded in autoclave.

Through-the-thickness properties of thick-walled cylindrical composites are required to determine structural performances because interlaminar tensile stress is primarily responsible for structural failure of the composites during their curing process. It is necessary for evaluating the tensile properties to find individual test methods to find appropriate methods because there are no recognised international standards(test methods and test specifications) available for generating reliable tensile properties in the direction. This paper has performed an experimental Study to measure that properties of carbon fabric/phenolic composites are produced by domestic company. Several test methods using an aluminum specimen were compared and evaluated. The best method, found out, was adopted to measure transverse through-the-thickness properties of composite materials. The results show that strain trends on four faces of composite specimen are the same.
