하이브리드 복합재료 중에서 적충형태의 Al/GFRP는 단일재 알루미늄에 비해 피로특성, 비강도, 비강성 등이 매우 우수하여 Fig. 1과 같이 항공기 주익 구조에 주로 적용된다. 그러나 이러한 Al/GFRP 적층재 역시 장시간에 걸쳐 비행하중을 받게 되면 다양한 형태의 파손이 발생할 수 있다. 이 중 알루미늄층과 섬유층 사이에서 발생하는 층간분리는 Al/GFRP 적층재의 대표적인 피로파손 형태이며, 현재 이러한 파손은 다 방면으로 연구되고 있다.(중략)

The behavior of fatigue delamination in a GLARE(Glass Fiber Reinforced Metal Laminates) under fatigue loading conditions investigated. The behavior of fatigue delamination was examined basing on investigation of the crack and delamination using a SAM (Scanning Acoustic Microscope). The crack and delamination behavior on the relationship among a-N, SAM images and crack length-delamination length were considered. The test results indicated the features of different fatigue delamination and crack growth according to each fiber orientation angle and also obtained to more increase delamination than crack through the relationship between crack length and delamination length in GLARE.

Carbon/epoxy는 기존의 금속재료에 비해 피로강도 및 기계적 특성이 매우 우수하다. 따라서 최근 튜브형태의 Carbon/epoxy 활용방안이 부각되고 있다. 그러나 Carbon/epoxy는 탄소재료의 특성상 고압, 충격 및 부식에 매우 취약하다. 또한, 장기간 고압피로 및 크리프에 노출될 경우, 금속재료에서는 관찰할 수 없는 층간분리(delamination)가 발생된다. 이러한 층간분리는 섬유방향과 평행하게 진전될 때 급격한 파손을 야기하므로 층간분리에 대한 메커니즘을 이해하고 그 방지책을 강구하는 것은 매우 중요하다.(중략)

In this study, when the applied directions of tensile loading is changed fatigue damage of quasi-isotropic composite laminates was discussed. Low cycle fatigue tests of $[0/-60/+60]_s$ laminates and $[+30/-30/90]_s$ laminates were carried out. Material systems used were AS4/Epoxy and AS4/PEEK. The fatigue damage of $[+30/-30/90]_s$ laminates differed from that of $[0/-60/+60]_s$ laminates. The position of delamination generated at AS4/Epoxy and AS4/PEEK $[+30/-30/90]_s$ laminates appeared differently according to the kind of matrix. Critical values of strain energy release rate were obtained by using the strain measured at the initiation of delamination. The experimental results agreed well with the results obtained by the proposed method for determining strain energy release rate.

It is considered that the application of advanced composite materials to the prostheses for the disables is important to improve their bio-mechanical performance. Particularly, energy storing foot prosthesis is mostly important to restore gait ability of the disables with low-extremity amputation since it could provide propulsion at terminal stance enhancing the disables ability to walk long distance even run and jump. Therefore, the energy storing spring of Prosthetic foot keel under cyclic bending moment use mainly of high strength glass fiber reinforced plastic. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the stacking sequence effect using the delamination growth rate(dA$_{D}$/dN) of energy storing spring in glass fiber reinforced plastic under cyclic bending moment. The test results indicated that the shape of delamination zone depends on stacking sequence in GFRP laminates. Delamination area(A$_{D}$) turns out that variable types with the contour increased non-linearly toward the damage zones.nes.

The hybrid composite material (Al/GFRP laminates) are applied to the fuselage and wing in a aircraft. Therefore, Al/GFRP laminates suffer from the cyclic bending moments. This study was to evaluate the effect of fiber stacking angle on the fatigue crack propagation and delamination behavior using the relationship between crack growth rate (da/dN) and stress intensity factor range (ΔK) in Al/GFRP laminates under cyclic bending moment. The variable delamination growth behavior in case of three different type of fiber orientations, i.e., [Al/O$_2$/Al], [Al/+45$_2$/Al] and [Al/90$_2$/Al] at the interface of Al layer and glass fiber layer was measured by ultrasonic C-scan images. As results of this study, It represent that the delamination shape should turns out to have more effective characteristics on the fiber stacking angle. The extension of the delamination zone in case of [Al/+45$_2$/Al] and [Al/90$_2$/Al] were not formed along the fatigue crack profile. The shape of delamination zone depend on fiber stacking angle and the variable type with the delamination contour decreased non-linearly toward the crack tip at the Al layer.

In most engineering structures, fracture often takes place due to fatigue. Therefore, many studies about the effect of the various mode-mixities on fatigue characteristics have been performed. However, most of the former studies only address metal/metal interfaces or delamination of composite. In this study, the fatigue characteristics of composite/metal interfaces are investigated. The fatigue tests were performed using single leg bending(SLB)specimens that comprise composite and steel bonded to each other using co-cure bonding method. This paper focuses on fatigue characteristics depending on different mode ratios$(G_{II}/G_T$. The overall results obtained in this study show that the crack propagation rate increases with the mode II loading component.

A15052/AFRP laminates were developed principally to obtain a material with good fatigue strength, in which possible cracks would grow very slowly. Weight savings of more than 30% should be attainable in practice. Also, the crack bridging fibers could still was carry a significant part of the load over the crack, thus the COD and stress intensity factor was reduced at the crack tip. A15052/ AFRP laminates consists of three thin sheets of 5052-H34 aluminum alloy and two layers of [0] unidirectional aramid fiber prepreg. The cyclic-bending moment test was investigated based on applying the five kinds of bending moments. The size of the delamination zone produced between 5052-H34 aluminum alloy sheets and fiber-adhesive layers was measured from ultrasonic C-scan pictures taken around the fatigue crack. In addition, the relationship between the cyclic-bending moment and the delamination zone size was studied and the effect of fiber bridging mechanism was also considered.

The aramid fiber reinforced metal laminates(AFRMLs) used for the wing part fair flight suffer the cyclic bending moment of variable amplitude during service. The fatigue crack propagation and delamination behavior in AFRMLs containing a saw-cut and circular hole was investigated using the average stress criterion(ASC) model. Mechanical tests were carried out using the cyclic bending moment of 4.9 N . m and delamination was observed by ultrasonic C-scan images. In case of AFRMLs containing a saw-cut fatigue crack propagated in aluminum matrix, inducing delamination. However, in case of AFRMLs containing a circular hole, delamination formed with two types under cyclic bending moment of 4.9 N . m. First, delamination formed along the fatigue crack in aluminum matrix. Second, delamination formed without any fatigue crack around the circular hole. Therefore, delamination was formed depending on the stress distribution near the circular hole.

The effects of stitching thread on fatigue characteristics of polyurethane foam cored sandwich structures are investigated. Fatigue test and static test, being used in four point bending test, are performed with various diameters and distances of stitching thread. The Results show that the maximum load for bending tests is similar to each other, but after $1O^6$ fatigue cycles, the stiffness degradation of the stitching thread diameter $\emptyset$ 3mm specimen is a much larger than that of the $\emptyset$ 5mm specimen.
