In this study, repair and maintenance schemes of the damaged composite structure was investigated, and a repair process of the carbon/epoxy laminate composite structure was investigated numerically and experimentally. The composite laminates were damaged by drop weight type impact test machine. The damaged composite structure was repaired using external patch repair method after removing damaged area. The compressive strength test and analysis results after repairing the impact damaged specimens were compared with the compressive strength test and analysis results of undamaged specimens and impact damaged specimens. Finally, the strength recovery capability by repairing were investigated.

Pressure vessels by composite materials were damaged sometimes during manufacturing or assembling. The state and the size of damage by low-velocity tests were investigated in this paper. Impactors of various masses and various tup shapes were dropped freely in the range of 120mm height to 700mm height. Compared with hemispherical tup of 12.7mm diameter, for hemispherical tup of 25.4mm diameter the size of surface dent was smaller but the size of delamination was bigger.

배 포장용 골판지 상자의 자유낙하 실험을 통하여 완충재로써의 골판지 상자에 대한 충격력을 분석하기 위한 시스템을 구성하고 계측 및 분석용 컴퓨터 프로그램을 작성하여 자유낙하에 의한 배 골판지 포장상자의 충격력을 분석하였으며, 배 골판지 포장상자의 낙하높이에 따른 배의 손상정도는 낙하높이가 높아짐에 따라 손상이 심하고 낙하높이가 낮은 25cm에서도 진동에 의한 손상지수보다는 훨씬 큼을 알 수가 있었다. 이것은 자유낙하에 의한 골판지의 충격력이 배에 전달되어 멍이 발생하는 것으로, 진동에 의한 변위 증폭 및 압상에 의한 손상보다 낙하 충격력에 의한 손상이 더 큰 것을 알 수가 있었으며, 배 골판지 포장상자의 적재 및 하역 작업시에는 낮은 낙하높이에서도 포장상자를 떨어뜨리지 않도록 주의를 하여야 할 것이다.

In this study, low velocity impact analysis on composite sandwich structure was performed. Sandwich structure configuration is made of Carbon-Epoxy face sheets and foam cores. For validating study, the results of an experimental and a finite element method analysis were compared previously. From the finite element method analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the results of analysis was reasonable. Impactor velocity to initiate damage was estimated, and in order to investigate the damage at the predicted velocity, impact analysis using finite element method was performed. According to the impact analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the damage was generated at the estimated impact velocity. Finally, The comparison of the numerical results with those measured by the experiment showed good agreement.

해수 임펠러(impeller) 재료로 사용되고 있는 스테인리스강을 이용하여 케비테이션 발생 시 고체입자 충격에 의한 충격하중 및 침식손상을 조사하였다. 충격하중은 압전센서를 이용하여 측정되었으며, 고체입자충격의 경우 기포붕괴에 비해 전체적으로 높은 충격하중을 가한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 충격하중과 침식손상과의 관계를 고찰하기 위해 침식표면에 형성된 침식핏(pit)을 측정하였으며, 고체입자충격 및 기포붕괴 조건에서의 임계충격하중을 구하였다.

This paper describes the results of experiments and numerical simulation studies on the low-velocity impact damage of two different sandwich composite panels for application to bodyshell and floor structure of the BIMODAL tram vehicle. Square test samples of 100mm sides were subjected to low-velocity impact loading using an instrumented testing machine at four impact energy levels. Part of this work presented is focused on the finite element analysis of low-velocity impact response onto a sandwich composite panels. It is based on the application of explicit finite element (FE) analysis codes LS-DYNA 3D to study the impact response of sandwich structures under low-velocity impact conditions. Material testing was conducted to determine the input parameters for the metallic and composite material model, and the effective equivalent damage model for the orthotropic honeycomb materials. Numerical and experimental results showed a good agreement for damage area and the depth of indentation of sandwich composite panels created by the impact loading.

The piezoelectric thin film sensor can be used to interpret variations in structural and material properties, e.g. for structural integrity monitoring and assessment. To illustrate one of this potential benefit, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) film sensors are used for monitoring impact damage in Gr/Ep composite panels. Both PVDF film sensors and strain gages are attached to the surface of Gr/Ep specimens. A series of impact tests at various impact energy by changing impact mass the height are performed on the instrumented drop weight impact tester. The sensor responses are carefully examined to predict the onset of impact damage such as indentation, matrix cracking, and delamination, etc. Test results show that the particular waveforms of sensor signals implying the damage initiation and development are detected above the damage initiation impact energy. As expected, the PVDF film sensor is found to be more sensitive to impact damage initiation event than the strain gage.

This study aims to detecting and analyzing the defects of damaged carbon fiber reinforced composites after impacts, particularly focusing on barely visible impact damages. The impact test was progressed by a drop-weight machine and applied to introduce simulated damages on laminated composites used in aircrafts. Various nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques were applied to identify the defects on the specimens with different levels of impact energies. Based on the measurements data, the levels of the barely visible impacts, and the applicability and effectiveness of the detection methods were discussed. Generally, the results demonstrated that their inner damages contained bigger footprints than those on the surfaces. However, when the damage energy was low, it was found that the inner damage size could be smaller than those appeared on the surfaces.

This study investigated the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on nerve regeneration in nerve injured rats. In this study, we used 30 male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 230-280g and 6 weeks old. Study groups were divided into two groups using a random sampling method: experimental group (n=15) treated with extracorporeal shock wave after sciatic nerve injury and control group (n=15) treated without extracorporeal shock wave after sciatic nerve injury. In this study, extracorporeal shock wave therapy equipment (OPTIMUS, SALUS TALENT 3, Korea) was used to apply extracorporeal shock wave therapy and applied to the sciatic nerve crush area of the right hind limb using low intensity. We measured the stance time and stride distance of the affected side using dartfish software. There was a statistically significant difference in the change of stance time and stride distance of the affected side between the experimental group using extracorporeal shock wave therapy and the control group without extracorporeal shock wave treatment. In conclusion, extracorporeal shock wave therapy has a positive effect on nerve regeneration.
