Modeling of thick composite structures for finite element analysis is relatively complicated. 2-D plane elements may cause inaccurate result since the plane stress condition cannot be applicable in these structures. Therefore a 3-D modeling should be used. However, the difficulty to model all the layers with different material properties and ply orientation arise in this case. In this paper, an equivalent modeling is proposed and numerically tested for analysis of thick composite structures. By grouping layers with same material and ply orientation, number of elements through the thickness is remarkably reduced and still the result is close enough to the one from a detail finite element model. MSC/NASTRAN and PATRAN are used for the analysis. The proposed modeling technique has been applied for analysis of composite rotor hub system designed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI). Using the proposed equivalent modeling technique, we could conduct stress analysis for the hub system and check the safety factor of each part.

Generally, modeling procedure of cross section of composite rotor blade is complicated and time-consuming, because it is made up of various stiffeners and multiple layers of composite materials. For efficient modeling of cross section of composite rotor blade, a modeling program so called KSec2D, which provides a user friendly GUI, is developed by using a 2D modeling algorithm based on set operation. By the developed program KSec2D, a modeling of complicated cross section of rotor blade is carried out. Through the demonstration, the usefulness of developed program in modeling procedure of cross section of composite rotor blade is verified.

세라믹 복합재료의 크립 파괴거동의 근원이 되는 크립거동에 대한 해석은 현재까지 제시되어 있 는 것이 거의 전무하여, 세라믹 복합재료의 고온신뢰도는 실험에 의존되어 많은 시간과 노력이 소요된다. 여기서는 해석방법으로 advanced shear-lag 모델을 기본으로 세라믹 복합재료 특성을 고려하여 모델링 해석을 제시하였다. 여러 영향 인자들-보강섬유 형상비, 보강섬유 끝단의 간격, 계면에서의 미끄름계수, 단위 모델안의 보강섬유 배열이 크립거동에 미치는 효과에 대해 인자 변화효과(parametric study)를 관찰하여 실험에 의해 얻은 SiCw/A1$_{2}$O$_{3}$의 크립 결 과와 비교하였다. 모델링 해석을 통해 얻은 특정범위 내의 결과는 실험결과를 수용할 수 있으 므로 이 해석방법을 세라믹 복합재료 크립거동의 한방법으로 이용할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

In this paper, fracture behavior of laminated composites with notch was studied by cohesive zone modeling approach. The numerical modeling proceeded by first generating 3 dimensional solid element meshes for notched laminated composite coupon configurations. Then cohesive elements representing failure modes of fiber fracture, matrix cracking and delamination were inserted between bulk elements in all regions where the corresponding failures were likely to occur. Next, progressive failure analyses were performed simulating uniaxial tensile tests. The numerical results were compared to those by experiment available in the literature for verification of the analysis approach. Finally, notched laminated composite configurations with selected stacking sequences were analyzed and the failure behavior was carefully examined focusing on the failure initiation and progression and the dominating failure modes.

Nanocomposites have been considered innovative composite materials that have multi-functionality and high performance. Because the incorporation of nanoscale fillers may significantly improve the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of composites, numerous extensive studies on the characterization of nanocomposites with nanoscale fillers have been performed. In particular, the development of nanocomposites using carbon-based nanoscale fillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, carbon black, graphene nanoplates) have attracted much interest in the composite field. This paper provides a review of recent advances in the electrical/mechanical characteristics of nanocomposites, which are essential for their practical applications. Furthermore, this paper revisits the recent research on multi-scale modeling, which is a promising approach for predicting the characteristics of nanocomposites. The current challenges and future development potentials for multi-scale modeling are also discussed.

Peridynamics has been widely used in the dynamic fracture analysis of brittle materials. Recently, various crack patterns(compact region, floret, Hertz-type crack, etc.) of multilayered glass structures in experiments(Bless et al. 2010) were implemented with a bond-based peridynamic simulation(Bobaru et al.. 2012). The actual glass layers are bound with thin elastic interlayer material while the interlayer is missing from the peridynamic model used in the previous numerical study. In this study, the peridynamic interlayer modeling for the multilayered structures is proposed. It requires enormous computational time and memory to explicitly model very thin interlayer materials. Instead of explicit modeling, fictitious peridynamic particles are introduced for modeling interlayer materials. The computational efficiency and accuracy of the proposed peridynamic interlayer model are verified through numerical tests. Furthermore, preventing penetration scheme based on short-range interaction force is employed for the multilayered structure under compression and verified through parametric tests.

An experimental study on forging an axi-symmetric dome type of AISI4130 was carried out using modeling material. In order to verify the validity of the experimental data, a similarity study between plasticine and AISI4130 has been made. Friction conditions were characterized by ring test for the various lubricants. For the closed-die forging experiments of an axi-symmetric dome type of AISI4130 using the plasticine, various cylindrical billets with different aspect ratios were forged and different flash width to thickness(W/T) ratios were used in order to determine the optimum forging conditions. As W/T ratios decrease forging loads decrease while excess volumes increase. It was found out that the experimental results reproduce the similiar results available in the literature. As a result of these experiments, it was construed physical modeling is an excellent tool for forging process simulation at a practical level.
