Thermal stress-induced failure in the free edge region of various thin carbon/epoxy composite laminates(1mm thick) has been investigated using the three-dimensional finite-element stress analysis, ultrasonic C-scan and microscopic observations. High thermal in-plane and interlaminar stresses were predicted in the interior layer near the free edge boundaries of the laminates. In the interior lamina, not in the skin lamina, of the thin laminates with lay-up of $[0_2/90_2]_s,\;[45_2/-45_0]_s,\;[0_2/60_2]_s$ treated by liquid $N_2$ immersion, many transverse matrix cracks took place due to thermal stress concentration, which agreed qualitatively with the above predictions.

This study has been investigated the Influence of layer thickness on the mechanical properties of cross laminated carbon fiber/epoxy composites. And also the difference of mechanical properties between cross laminated composites of unidirectional prepreg and fabric prepreg has been investigated. Experimental results are showed that the Interlamina Shear Strength(ILSS) of cross laminated carbon fiber/epoxy composites decreased with increasing thickness of unit ply and the decree of delamination in the laminated composites increased as ILSS decreased. Fracture toughness and impact values were found to increase as delamination occurs to some extent in the laminated composites. It Is also shown thats mechanical properties of cross laminates from unidirectional prepreg were better than those of cross laminates from fabric prepreg.

The use of carbon fiber rods is a promising technology of increasing flexural and shear strength of deficient reinforced concrete members. The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the fatigue behavior and strengthening effects of the strengthened bridge deck with isotropic and othortropic carbon fiber rod. This study shows a fatigue loading, compliance and S-N Curve between strengthened isotropically and othortropically. Then estimate the effective fatigue behavior of RC slab using composite rods that are inserted in high special purposed polymer mortar.

This study was performed experiment for strengthened bridge decks with isotropic carbon fiber sheets received fatigue loading, and compared with fatigue behavior of unstrengthened bridge decks. By the results, this study was examined effect of increasing strengthened to phase life cycles of bridge deck for fatigue loading and application of the punching shear theory of bridge deck strengthened by carbon fiber sheet.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer(CFRP) composites are widely applied to strengthen deteriorated concrete structures. This paper presents the experimental results of the performance of reinforced concrete(RC) decks strengthened with CFRP composites. Simple span decks with 2m span length were tested to investigate the effect of CFRP reinforcement types on the flexural behavior of strengthened RC beams. The test results were analyzed with the special emphasis on the failure mode and the maximum load.

The free vibration analyses of the isotropic and CFRP laminated composite rectangular plates with point supports at the fix edge is performed by FEM. We showed optimal position and mode shape of point supports that maximized fundamental natural frequency of the isotropic and CFRP laminated composite rectangular plates by each aspect ratio and the number of point supports.

Crack propagation and AE characteristics of CFRP plain woven laminate composites are examined with acoustic sensor by AEDSP 32/16 board in PC system. AE signals are measured during the fracture behavior tests. The purpose of study is the estimation of the crack extension behavior effected between three kinds of fiber orientation for plain woven CFRP laminate composite and the relationship between AE characteristics and load-displacement curves and crack extension length.

In recent years, FRP plates have been studied for flexural reinforcement of RC structures due to easy installation and good Quality control. This study presents experimental field test results for the effectiveness of flexural reinforcement of the RC slab using external prestressing with thin CFRP strips made by the pultrusion process. It was demonstrated that flexural strength was considerably increased with relatively easy installation when compared to the other methods used for the composite reinforcement.

Using modal analysis method this paper examines the dynamic characteristics of composite material closely. Composite material is superior to conventional material in view of mechanical properties. So the laminate of CFRPis compared with ALPlate. As the results, the overall vibration level of CFRP is lower than that of AL Plate and is low when fiber direction is parallel to the fixed point. Also, the natural frequency of CFRP is situated in low frequency than that of AL.

고분자 전해질 연료전지 (PEMFC)의 핵심 부품 중의 하나인 Bipolar Plate (분리판)을 제조하기 위해서 고분자/그라파이트 복합재료를 사용하였다. 고분자 매트릭스로는 경화시 뛰어난 화학적, 기계적 특성을 갖는 에폭시를 채택하였고, 전기 전도성을 부여하기 위해 그라파이트를 도입하였으며, 에폭시 수지의 내충격성을 향상시키기 위해서 Carbon Fiber를 채택하였다. 에폭시 분말과 그라파이트 분말, 그리고 1cm 정도의 길이를 갖는 Carbon Fiber을 믹서에 넣고 균일하게 혼합하였다. 이 혼합물을 이형제 처리된 몰드에 주입하고, Hot Press를 사용하여 가열, 가압 ($150^{\circ}C$, 4 ton/$cm^2$, 2시간)하면서 경화시켰다. 일정 비율로 고정된 에폭시/그라파이트 계에 Carbon Filber의 혼합 비율을 변화시키면서 전기적, 물리적 성질의 변화를 연구하였다.
