The present paper describes an investigation into the application of the genetic algorithm (GA) in the optimum design of composite laminated structure. Stochastic processes generate an initial population of designs and then apply principles of natural selection/survival of the fittest to improve the designs. The five test functions are used to verify the robustness and reliability of the GA, and as a numerical example, minimum weight of a cantilever composite laminated beam with a mix of continuous, integer and discrete design variables is obtained by using the GA with exterior penalty function method. The design problem has constraints on strength, displacements, and natural frequencies, and is formulated to a multidimensional nonlinear form. From the results, it is found that the GA search technique is very effective to find the good optimum solution as well as has higher robustness.

최근에는 탄소섬유복합재료(CFRP)는 우주 및 민간 항공산업분야에 널리 활용이 되고 있는 실정이다. CFRP 복합재는 적층구성에 따라 기계물성치 및 강성에 크게 영향이 미치므로 가장 대표적인 직교이방성 적층재의 적층배향을 비파괴 탐상하는 것은 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 CFRP 적층재의 섬유배향에 가장 민감한 초음파 전단파를 활용하기 위해 2개의 종파 초음탐촉자를 이용하는 새로운 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 초음파 전단파를 발생하기 위해서는 탐촉자 밑면에 접촉매질인 태운꿀을 사용하는데 초음파시험하는 도중에 물성치중에 하나인 즉 점성이 상당히 변하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 2개의 종파용 초음파탐촉자를 이용해 전단파를 발생시킴으로써 접촉매질문제를 상당히 경감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며 여기에서 발생한 전단파가 CFRP 복합적층판의 섬유배향에 매우 민감함을 알 수 있었다.

저온동시소성 다층세라믹스 시트 제조시 바인더 함량과 압력 변화에 따른 적층체의 그린밀도, 적층밀도, 바인더 burn out 후 그린밀도, 소결밀도를 고찰하였다. 바인더 함량이 증가함에 따라 slurrly의 유변학적 변화는 그린시트의 유동성 및 충진율을 변화시켜 그린시트의 밀도에 영향을 주었다. 적층 압력을 5~50MPa로 변화시켰을 때 바인더 함량이 12%로 가장 많은 시트의 경우 적층 후 시트의 밀도는 상대적으로 높은 밀도값을 나타내었으나, 바인더 burn out 후에는 상대적으로 낮은 밀도값을 나타내었다. 바인더 함량 변화에 따른 소결 밀도값은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

Since composite materials have anisotropic properties that depend on their stacking angle and sequence, the analysis of joints with isotropic adherends is limited in describing the behavior of the adhesive Joint with composite adherends. In this study, the nonlinear solution for adhesive joints with composite adherends was derived by incorporating the nonlinear behavior of the adhesive into the analysis. The behavior of the laminated composite tube was first analyzed, and the stress distributions of the composite tubular adhesive joint were calculated by including the nonlinear properties of the adhesive. The effect of the stacking sequence of composite adherends and bonding length on torque capacities of joints was examined, and results of the nonlinear analysis were also compared with those of the linear analysis.

The free vibration problem of symmetrically laminated composite rectangular plates is formulated based on anisotropic thick plate theory including the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia. Considering the difficulty of obtaining closed-form solutions, Rayleigh-Ritz analysis using polynomials having the property of Timoshenko beam functions as trial functions is adopted. The boundary conditions elastically restrained against rotation are accomodated as well as classical boundary conditions. From the results of numerical studies, the validity of the present method is verified. And it is also found that the adoption of thick plate theory for the vibration analysis of laminated composite plates is essential because of the relatively large shear deformation effect, and that the convergence of the Rayleigh quotient to the stationary value is less rapid in anisotropic composite plates than that in the orthotropic ones due to more complicated mode shapes of the former.

In this study, the temperature-dependency of the tensile properties of a glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) used in wind turbine blades was examined. The tensile strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the tensile specimen manufactured from uniaxial ($0^{\circ}$) and triaxial ($0/{\pm}45^{\circ}$) laminate composite plates were measured at four different testing temperatures-room temperature, $-30^{\circ}C$, $-50^{\circ}C$, and $60^{\circ}C$. It was found that the tensile strengths and elastic moduli of the uniaxial laminates were greater than those of the triaxial laminates over the testing temperature range. The tensile strength of the two laminates was significantly dependent on the testing temperature, while the dependency of the elastic modulus on the temperature was insignificant. Furthermore, it could be considered that the Poisson's ratio changed slightly with a change in the testing temperature.

A simple and very flexible automatic dipping machine was constructed for producing functional multilayer films on wide substrates via the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique. The proposed machine exhibits several features that allow a fully automated coating operation, such as various depositing recipes, control of the dipping depth and time, operating speed, and rinsing flow, air-assist drying nozzles, and an operation display. The machine uniformly dips a substrate into aqueous mixtures containing complementary (e.g., oppositely charged, capable of hydrogen bonding, or capable of covalent bonding) species. Between the dipping of each species, the sample is spray cleaned with deionized water and blow-dried with air. The dipping, rinsing, and drying areas and times are adjustable by a computer program. Graphene-based thin films up to ten-bilayers were prepared and characterized. This film exhibits the highly filled multilayer structures and low thermal resistance, indicating that the robotic dipping system is simple to produce functional thin film coatings with a variety of different layers.

In this paper, design technique using genetic algorithms(GA) for design optimization of composite leaf springs is presented here. After the initial design has been validated by the car plate spring as a finite element model, the genetic algorithm suggests the process of optimizing the number of layers of composite materials and their angles. Through optimization process, the weight reduction process of leaf springs and the number of repetitions are compared to the existing algorithm results. The safety margin is calculated by organizing a finite element model to verify the integrity of the structure by applying an additive sequence optimized through the genetic algorithm to the structure. When GA is applied, layer thickness and layer angle of complex leaf springs have been obtained, which contributes to the achievement of minimum weight with appropriate strength and stiffness. A reduction of 65.6% original weight is reached when a leaf steel spring is replaced with a leaf composite spring under identical requirement of design parameters and optimization.

Recently, IoT technology has great attention and plays a key role in 4^th industrial revolution in order to design customized products and services. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is applied to fabricate IoT sensor directly or IoT sensor embedded structure. Also, design methods for AM are developing to consolidate various parts of IoT devices. Part consolidation leads to assembly time and cost reduction, reliability improvement, and lightweight. Therefore, a design method was proposed to guide designers to consolidate parts. The design method helps designers to define product architecture that consists of functions and function-part relations. The product architecture is converted to a network graph and then Girvan Newman algorithm is applied to cluster the graph network. Parts in clusters are candidates for part consolidation. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed design method, a case study was performed with e-bike fabricated by additive manufacturing.
