Fabrication of carbon fiber reinforced composites was carried out by hand lay-up method. Carbon nanofibers and SiC nanofibers were used as filler in the composites fabrication. Carbon nanofibers, one of the new carbon materials, have 5∼500 nm in diameter and 5-10 nm in length. SiC nanofibers were modified by silicon monoxide vapor with carbon nanofibers. The composites were carbonized at 1000$^{\circ}C$ in a nitrogen atmosphere, and then densified by molten pitches impregnated in vacuum. Multiple cycles of liquid pitch impregnation and carbonization were carried out to obtain a desired density. The composites were characterized by density, microstructure. The inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS) test was performed for mechanical properties. For the new application, the microwave reflective proeprty of composites was investigated. Dielectric constant and permeability spectrum were measured in 12∼18 GHz frequency ranges. On the basis of the wave propagation theory in a lossy media, the reflection loss from the composite inter-layer was predict as a function of frequency.

This paper shows shear wave behavior of CFRP composite laminates as a polar grid form to evaluate vibration pattern of ultrasonic transducers, which gives measured modelling fundamental contents of nondestructive evaluation. Polarized direction can be obtained by using a c-scanner and sensitivity of transducers is founded when using through-transmission method of two transducers. And modelling of vector decomposition is presented based on ply-to-ply method to apply practicable nondestructive evaluation of CFRP laminate lay up. This modelling decomposes the transmission of linearly polarized wave into orthogonal components through each ply of a laminate. It is found that a high provable shows between the model and experimental developed in characterizing layup of CFRP composite laminates.

Work factor approach is conveniently used in metal fracture mechanics to determine fracture toughness from a single fracture test. In this work, we investigated the applicability of the work factor approach in order to determine fracture toughness of thick graphite/epoxy composites in the hydrostatic pressure environment from a single fracture test. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the elastic work factor was studied, The stacking sequence used was multi-directional, [0$^{\circ}$/${\pm}$45$^{\circ}$/90$^{\circ}$]. The hydrostatic pressures applied were 0.1 MPa, 100 MPa, 200 MPa, and 300 MPa. The results showed that the elastic work factor was not affected by the hydrostatic pressure, The elastic work factor decreased in a linear fashion with crack length.

Mechanical and thermal analysis properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composite for train carbody were evaluated by varying with environmental factors such as ultraviolet, temperature, and moisture. Accelerated environmental aging tester was utilized for this study. Testing temperature was set to $80^{\circ}C$ and ultraviolet was obtained through xenon-arc lamp. To consider moisture, water sprayed on specimen for 18 minutes every 2 hour. All the specimens were made of CF1263/Epoxy composite. Mechanical properties such as tensile, bending, and shear properties were evaluated through a material testing system. Also, thermal analysis properties such as storage shear modulus, loss shear modulus, and tan ${\delta}$ were measured through dynamic mechanical analyzer. Finally surfaces of the composite exposed to environmental factors were examined using a scanning electron microscope. From experimental results, those properties of CF1263/Epoxy composite were shown to be slightly decreased due to environmental factors.

PAN계 탄소섬유와 페놀수지를 이용하여 rod를 인발성형 한 후, 다른 섬유분율을 갖는 두종류의 hexagonal type 4D 프리폼을 제작하였다. 석탄계 핏치를 가압함침 탄화공정을 통하여 함침한 후 탄화와 고온열처리를 하였다. 이와 같은 공정을 반복하여 고밀도화된 4D CRFC를 제조하였다. 열충결 시험 후 새로운 크랙이 생성되었을 뿐만 아니라 기존의 크랙이 확장되었으며 이와 같은 크랙들은 공기와의 접촉면을 제공하여 중량감소를 보였다. 공기 산화 저항성을 고온열처리 공정을 거친 것이 약 20% 우수하게 나타났다. 4D CFRC의 밀도와 섬유의 분율이 높을 수록 삭마 저항성이 커지고, 삭마량은 시간에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였으며 type II가 type I보다 삭마저항성이 우수하였다. 삭마 메카니즘을 관찰한 결과 1차적으 기질의탈리가 먼저 일어난 다음 섬유가 삭마되었다.

In recent days the more use of CFRP composite is in the airplane, automobile, and sport goods, etc., the more necessity of research on it in this engineering. In this research, the CFRP composite specimen are fabricated by 48 CFRP plies with 6 stacking sequences, and the specimens are drilled with 4 tools. The results are analyzed with consideration of cutting force, type of tools and fabrication condition. The specimens with each drilling conditions are also investigated with SEM. The optimal drilling conditions such as drill types and cutting force with respect to the fabricating condition are studied.

대구경 고해상도 광학탑재체의 광구조부는 주반사경과 부반사경 등을 포함한 주요 광학부품들과 검출기를 포함한 초점면 조립부 등을 고정 지지해주는 부분으로, 발사시 전달되는 진동 및 우주 열환경하에서의 길이 안정성을 광학성능 범위내로 유지하여야 한다. 광학탑재체의 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 주반사경과 부반사경의 광축방향의 길이 안정성으로, 광학탑재체의 작동 온도범위 내에서 수 마이크로미터 내외로 안정성이 요구된다. 이를 실현하기 위하여 주반사경과 부반사경의 간격은 열 및 흡습에 둔감한 탄소섬유 강화수지 복합재로 되어 있는 경통 구조물로 설계, 제작된다. 제작된 경통구조물의 길이 안정성을 검증하기 위해서는 별도의 정밀 측정장치가 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 길이 안정성 측정장치에 대해 기술한다. 온도에 대해 변화가 거의 없는 (CTE<0.1ppm/K) Zerodur 소재의 막대 구조물을 기준 스케일로 삼았고, 이를 지지하기 위해 Invar 소재의 구조물을 사용 하였다. 주반사경의 베젤부위와 부반사경의 접속부위의 변위 변화를 세점에서 측정하여 길이 안정성을 측정할 수 있게 하였다.

In this work, The electrochemical behavior of CF/Al composite was investigated at constant current densities in aqueous solutions. The surface and cross section of PEO-treated CF/Al were observed using SEM, EDS and OM. The CF/Al composite contains carbon fibers of about 40 Vol.% with 5~7 um diameter and 100~150 um length. The carbon fibers appeared to b removed by anodic oxidation in sulfuric acid solution, leaving a carbon-fiber free zone in the surface region. Anodic oxide films were formed in the carbon-free region by plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) method in alkaline solutions.

Recently, the wide range of the composite materials is used for the making airplanes, trains and automobiles body for the lightweight. Despite having complex structures, composite materials usually have well defined mechanical characteristics. However, composite materials are difficult to understand the fracture mechanism clearly by simple mechanical test. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) combined with mechanical testing can play a more important role and especially Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) would become known to be a useful tool to assess damage and fracture behavior of composites. In this study The experiment was performed to acquire the acoustic emission signal during tensile test using unidirectional CFRP specimen and the data was analyzed the acoustic emission parameters with the waveform.

This paper describes the characteristics for mode I interlaminar and intralaminar fractures of cross-ply carbon/epoxy composite laminates. We obtained mode I interlaminar fracture toughness and mode I intralaminar fracture toughness based on energy release rate and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). For this purpose, the Double-Cantilever Beam (DCB) test and FEA were performed for cross-ply DCB specimens. Also, the behavior of load-displacement curve at the interlaminar and intralaminar crack was analyzed. The results show that mode I intralaminar fracture toughness was lower than mode I interlaminar fracture toughness in the cross-ply DCB specimen.
