For efficient use of composite materials in engineering applications the dynamic behavior, that is, natural frequencies, nodal patterns should be informed. This study presents the experimental and FEM results for the free vibration of cantilevered, symmetrically and antisymmetrically laminated composite triangular plates. The natural frequencies and nodal patterns of a number of CFRP, GFRP, composite-Aluminum and CFRP-GFRP hybrid composite plates are experimentally obtained. A method for the determination of the Young's modulus and test procedures are described. The natural frequencies are determined for a wide range of parameters: e.g., composite material constants, fiber angles and stacking sequences. Natural frequency and nondimensional frequency parameter results are compared with the finite element analysis and existing literatures. Agreement between experimental and calculated frequencies is excellent.

This paper contains the tension-tension and the tension-tension bearing fatigue characteristics of glass fabric/phenol composite laminates. The experimental results show that the bearing fatigue characteristics of the material is so excellent compared with the simple tension fatigue characteristics, that there are no needs of additional strengthening for mechanical joint parts when the parts are properly designed. The experimental data are also compared with the results of glass fabric/epoxy composite laminates.

The radiated sound pressure induced by low-velocity impact is obtained by solving the Rayleigh integral equation. This paper established the sound analysis procedure using impact analysis model. For structurally radiated noise, the sound field is directly coupled to the structural motion. Therefore the impact response should be analyzed. The impact response is computed using the spring-mass model. And the influence of damage on the sound pressure and impacted force history of laminated were investigated. The results show that both radiated sound pressure and impact force history are strongly influenced by damage on laminated.

The free vibrations of thermally buckled, simply supported, symmetrically laminated, rectangular, and quasi-isotropic plates are investigated. The nonlinear postbuckling analysis is performed by the finite element method based on the first order shear deformable plate theory with the use of von Karman type nonlinear strains and the Duhamel-Newman type constitutive law. The postbuckling solutions are used to obtain free vibration responses of buckled plates. Several numerical examples for quasi-isotropic laminated plates are considered. The effects of width-to-thickness ratios and aspect ratios on the free vibration characteristics of buckled plates are investigated.

Glass/phenolic composite laminates have been used in the field of non-flammable light rail transit and their applications have expanded more widely. Low velocity impact tests have been used to evalute the effect of temperature and acceleration aging on low velocity impact response of phenolic matrix composites reinforced with woven E-glass fabric. The damage of matrix cracking and delamination are suddenly reduced the compressive strength after impact. The damage area increases with increasing temperature and impact energy. UT C-scan is used to determine damage areas by impact loading. Therefore, all this observations indicate reduced impact damage resistance and damage tolerance of the laminates at elevated temperature.

Composite materials have various complicated characteristics depending on the ply materials, ply orientations, ply stacking sequences and boundary conditions. Therefore, it is difficult to analyze composite materials. For efficient use of composite materials in engineering applications, the dynamic behavior such as natural frequencies and nodal patterns should be identified. This study presents FEM results for the free vibration of symmetrically and antisymmetrically laminated composite and hybrid composite rectangular plates. The natural frequencies of laminated composite rectangular plates having the various boundary conditions (completely clamped, 2-edge clamped, cantilevered) are experimentally obtained. In order to demonstrate the validity of the experiment, FEM analysis using ANSYS was performed and natural frequencies experimentally obtained is compared with that calculated by FEM analysis. The results obtained from both experiment and FEM analysis show a good agreement.

The mechanical strength and crack propagation of plain woven carbon fiber fabric laminate composites are examined by acoustic emission(AE). AE signals are measured during the tensile test and fracture tests. Thus, the relationship between AE signal and load-displacement curves and crack extension length are shown. Also the fracture mechanisms in terms of AE characteristics are discussed in viewpoint of crack propagation behavior.

In order to analysis the degradation process of epoxy/glass fiber for outdoor condition, FRP laminate was exposed to high temperature and water. Then the degradation process was evaluated by comparing contact angle, surface potential decay, and surface resistivity. For the change of wettability, the contact angle of thermal-treated specimen with the high temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ increased. But that of water-treated specimen decreased. The characteristic of surface potential decay shows the tendency of the remarkable decrease on water-treated specimens, but increase on thermal-treated specimen compared with untreated one. Also, for the surface resistivity, it shows the same trend compared with the change of contact angle.

The tapping test has simplicity of procedure for detection of the damage in aircraft structure. However, the result of tapping test depends on the subjective experience of inspector. In this paper, more objective tapping test has proposed. The impact force histories and tapping sounds are used as reference data to evaluate the delamination. The WT(wavelet transform) is used to decompose the test data. From the results, we could know that high frequency components of force and sound are reduced due to delamination in composite laminate. On these results, the tapping force and sound caused by tapping could be used for the reference data to evaluate the delamination in composite structure.

To design and estimate material failures of Type III pressure vessels, which have excellent stability and performance, various modeling techniques have been introduced. This paper provided a hybrid modeling technique composed of ply-based modeling for a cylinder part and laminate-base modeling technique for a dome part for enhancing modeling efficiency. The ply-based modeling technique provided accurate ply stresses directly for predicting material failure, on the other hand, additional manipulations in stress calculations, which may cause some errors, were needed for the case of the laminate-based modeling technique. The ply stresses in fiber, transverse and in-plane shear directions were compared with the corresponding material strengths to predict material failure.
