본 연구에서는 유한요소법을 사용하여 이방성으로 적층된 평판의 고유모드 를 예측하고, 이론적인 예측의 정확성을 연구하기 위해 사변 단순지지의 다 양한 각도로 적층된 정사각형 CFRP평판의 8번째 진동모드까지 실험적인 결 과와 비교하였다. 이 연구에서 사용된 모든 평판은 중앙면에 대칭이며, 이것 은 Bundling-stretching coupling을 제거하기 위해서이다. 그러나 만일 비대 칭적으로 적층된 평판이라면 이 효과를 포함한 해석이 되어야 할 것이다.

This study was performed to make a comparison on low-velocity impact behavior between graphite/epoxy composite laminate and steel plate. In order to validate the proposed scheme fur the impact behavior of the plate, the Karas's impact model was used. The impact models for this comparative study are the graphite/epoxy composite plate having $[0/90/45/-45/-45/45/90/0]_{8S}$ laminate sequence and the steel plate with a steel ball impactor. The low-velocity impact behaviors for two types of plates were comparatively investigated and performed by considering different impactor velocities and weights respectively. In this investigation, it was found that the composite laminate has impact energy absorption effect due to more flexible behavior than the steel plate, and also it has better characteristics on impact damage and weight.

Modern bulletproof armor must be light and have excellent penetration resistance to ensure the mobility and safety of soldiers and military vehicles. The ballistic performance of heterogeneous structures of laminated flat plates as bulletproof armor depends on the arrangement of constituent materials for the same weight. In this study, we analyze bulletproof performance according to the stacking sequence of laminated bulletproof armor composed of Kevlar, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and ethylene-vinyl-acetate foam. A ballistic analysis was performed by colliding a 7.62 × 51 mm NATO cartridge's M80 bullet at a speed of 856 m/s with six lamination arrangements with constituent materials thicknesses of 5 mm and 6.5 mm. To evaluate the bulletproof performance, the residual speed and residual energy of the projectile that penetrated the heterogeneous laminated flat plates were measured. Simulation results confirmed that the laminated structure with a stacking sequence of Kevlar, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and ethylene-vinyl-acetate foam had the best bulletproof performance for the same weight.

This paper deals with predicting comparable mechanical properties of laminated composite plates. The stiffness of an equivalent anisotropic composite plate is derived based on classical lamination theory. A novel failure criterion is defined to describe the failure behaviour of laminated composite plates based on micro-mechanics failure criteria. Finally, the theory's validation of finite element analysis results was verified. We concluded that this theory is very suitable for failure analysis of laminated composite plates for aerospace applications due to their relative simplicity and computational efficiency.

The buckling load of a blade stiffened laminated composite plate having midplane symmetry is maximized for a given total weight. The thicknesses of the layers and the width and height of the stiffener are taken as the design variables. Buckling analysis is carried out using a finite element method. The optimization problem is solved using an IMSL subroutine. Due to the highly nonlinear nature of the optimality equations, several local optimum solutions are found. Various combinations of fiber orientation for the laminate layers and the blade stiffener are investigated to examine their relative efficiency. Out of several cases examined, the best design was produced from the combination of ($0^{\circ}Beam/0^{\circ}/90^{\circ}$)s.

구조감쇠가 복합적층판의 초음속 패널 플러터에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 에너지법을 활용하여 지배방정식을 유도하였다. 구조 모델링은 일반적인 고전 적층판 이론을 적용하고 이의 해석은 진동 모우드를 가정하는 Rayleigh-Ritz법을 이용하였다. 비정상 공기력은 피스톤 이론(piston theory)을 적용하였다. 구조감쇠가 패널의 플러터에 미치는 일반적인 영향을 고찰하기 위해 등방성 평판의 구조감쇠의 크기에 따른 임계동압을 계산하였으며 이로부터 구조감쇠가 플러터 안정성을 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 복합적층판의 적층각에 따른 임계동압을 계산하여 패널 플러터와 구조감쇠와의 관계를 파악하였다. 구조감쇠는 낮은 공력감쇠에서는 플러터 안정성에 중요한 역할을 하지만 높은 공력감쇠에서는 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다.

In this study, the delamination analysis has been implemented to investigate the initiation and propagation of crack in composite laminates composed of orthotropic materials. A simple modeling was achieved by moving nodal technique without re-meshing work when crack propagation occurred. This paper aims at achieving two specific objectives. The first is to suggest a very simple modeling scheme compared with those applied to conventional h-FEM based models. To verify the performance of the proposed model, analysis of double cantilever beams with composite materials was implemented and then the results were compared with reference values in literatures. The second one is to investigate the behavior of interior delamination problems using the proposed model. To complete these objectives, the full-discrete-layer model based on Lobatto shape functions was considered and energy release rates were calculated using three-dimensional VCCT(virtual crack closure technique) based on linear elastic fracture mechanics.

The optimum design of most structural systems used in practice requires considering design variables as discrete quantities. The present paper shows that the linear approximation method is very effective as a tool for the discrete optimum designs of unsymmetric composite laminates. The formulated design problem is subjected to a multiple in-plane loading condition due to shear and axial forces, bending and twisting moments, which is controlled by maximum strain criterion for each of the plys of a composite laminate. As an initial approach, the process of continuous variable optimization by FDM is required only once in operating discrete optimization. The nonlinear discrete optimization problem that has the discrete and continuous variables is transformed into the mixed integer programming problem by SLDP. In numerical examples, the discrete optimum solutions for the unsymmetric composite laminates consisted of six plys according to rotated stacking sequence were found, and then compared the results with the nonlinear branch and bound method to verify the efficiency of present method.

In this paper, an efficient yet accurate method for the thermal stress analysis using a first order shear deformation theory(FSDT) is presented. The main objective herein is to systematically modify transverse shear strain energy through the mixed variational theorem(MVT). In the mixed formulation, independent transverse shear stresses are taken from the efficient higher-order zigzag plate theory, and the in-plane displacements are assumed to be those of the FSDT. Moreover, a smooth parabolic distribution through the thickness is assumed in the transverse normal displacement field in order to consider a transverse normal deformation. The resulting strain energy expression is referred to as an enhanced first order shear deformation theory, which is obtained via the mixed variational theorem with transverse normal deformation effect(EFSDTM_TN). The EFSDTM_TN has the same computational advantage as the FSDT_TN(FSDT with transverse normal deformation effect) does, which allows us to improve the through-the-thickness distributions of displacements and stresses via the recovery procedure. The thermal stresses obtained by the present theory are compared with those of the FSDT_TN and three-dimensional elasticity.
