Mechanical characteristics of composite laminates with carbon tissue and glass scrim are evaluated in this paper. Composite laminates in USN125 group are made by inserting carbon tissue and glass scrim between layers. Consequently it was shown that mechanical characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced composite materials were improved by inserting carbon tissue.

In this paper, a novel hybrid composite shield to protect space structures from hypervelocity impact of micrometeoroid and space debris is proposed. The finite element model of the proposed shield was constructed and finite element analysis was conducted to approximate the energy absorption rate. Before the final model analysis, analysis of each component including the aluminum plate, PMMA plate, and intermediate layer of fabric was performed, verifying the finite element model of each component. The material properties used in the analyses were predicted material property values for high strain rates. The analysis results showed that, other than the fabric, the energy absorption rate of each component was in agreement. Afterwards, the finite element model of the hybrid composite shield was constructed, where it was analyzed for the restrained and unrestrained fabric boundary condition cases. Through the finite element analysis, the fiber pullout mechanism was realized for the hybrid shield with free boundary inserted fabric, and it was observed that this mechanism led to energy absorption increase.

Carbon fiber-reinforced composites have excellent mechanical properties. However, the fracture toughness is a disadvantage due to brittle failure mode. The fracture toughness can be enhanced using hybridization with large-elongation fibers. In this study, polyamide (aramid) fibers are hybridized with carbon fiber with various stacking sequences. As a result, the Izod impact strength was enhanced by 63% with 25% aramid fiber hybridization. It is also shown that there is an optimal point in laminated composite hybridization, [CF/CAF₂/CF]_s stacking sequence.

하이브리드 굴삭기는 에너지 재생 및 연비향상을 위하여 기존의 유압부품들 중 일부를 전기부품으로 대체하여 시스템을 구성하고 있다. 따라서, 하이브리드 굴삭기의 신뢰성을 평가하고 보장하기 위해서는 기계적인 부하와 전기적인 부하가 복합적으로 영향을 미쳐 발생되는 고장모드를 고려하여 신뢰성평가기법을 개발하여야 한다. 특히 하이브리드 굴삭기는 가혹한 실외 환경조건에서 운용되므로 새롭게 개발되는 부품들에 대하여 설계 결함을 조기에 발견하기 위한 복합 내환경 시험과 초가속 수명시험이 수행되어야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 FMEA, FMECA, FTA 및 HALT 등의 다양한 신뢰성 기법을 사용하여 하이브리드 굴삭기의 신뢰성평가기법을 개발하였고, 개발대상 하이브리드 굴삭기의 주요 동력전달 파트인 선회구동 시스템에 대한 신뢰성평가장비를 개발하고 구축하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 하이브리드 굴삭기 신뢰성평가기법은 하이브리드 자동차의 부품들에 대한 신뢰성평가에도 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This research makes comparisons of empirical fatigue-lives between AC8A A1 alloy and the metal matrix composites(A1/A12O3, A1/A12O3/A12O3p), and also includes comparisons of fatigue-lives between empirical fatigue-lives and estimated fatigue-lives from regular-periodic load testing, AE method to predict fatigue-crack initiation before visible in sight and SEM(scanning electron microscope) photographs of each material. According to the test results of the notched specimen. the fatigue life of the hybrid metal matrix composites and the metal matrix composites, which are more brittle than the base matrix was shorter than that of the base matrix under both types of loads. In addition, the fatigue-life estimated from the damage summation method and that from experiments at random loads were fairly identical.

This paper describes the need for a ductile Fiber Reinforced Plastic(FRP) reinforcement for concrete structures. Using the material hybrid and geometric hybrid, it is demonstrated that the pseudo-ductility characteristic can be generated in FRP rebar. Ductile hybrid FRP bars were successfully fabricated at 4mm and l0mm nominal diameters using an hand lay up method. Tensile specimens from these bars were tested and compared with behavior of FRP rebar and steel bar

Multi-material design with metals and composites can keep structural functions as well as reduce the weight of automotive parts. However, recycling of automotive parts should be considered due to the increasing emphasis on the environments and pollutions. We derived the key issues for increasing the recycling rate of automotive parts by carrying out a survey targeting representatives and workers related with automotive recycling. The core of the key issues was the separation technology of adhesively bonded metal-composite hybrid structures, so we conducted the basic research and suggested the separation technology which can easily be adopted into the recycling industries.

This paper investigated acoustic emission (AE) characteristics in association with various fracture processes of glass fiber reinforced plastic skin/ aluminum honeycomb core (GF-AH) hybrid composites under compressive and bending loads. Various failure modes such as skin layer fracture, skin/core interfacial fracture, and local plastic yield buckling and cell wall adhesive fracture occurring in the honeycomb cell wall were classified through the fracture identification in association with the AE frequency and amplitude analysis. The distribution of the event-rate in which it has a high amplitude showed a procedure of cell wall adhesive fracture, skin/core interfacial debonding and fiber breakage, whereas distribution of different peak frequencies indicated the plastic deformation of aluminum cell wall and the friction between honeycomb walls. Consequently, the fracture behaviors of GF-AH hybrid composites could be characterized through a nondestructive evaluation employing the AE technique.

The fiber-reinforced composite materials have been advanced for various applications because of their excellent mechanical and electromagnetic properties. On their manufacturing processes, however, thermo-curing inherently produces the undesired thermal deformation mainly from temperature drop from the process temperature to the room temperature, so called spring-back. The spring-back must be understood especially in the hybrid composites in order to design and fabricate desired shape. In this research, (glass fiber / epoxy) + (carbon fiber / epoxy) unsymmetric hybrid composites were fabricated under various conditions such as cure cycle, laminate thickness, stacking sequence and curing sequence. Coupons were made and spring-back were measured using coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Using the Classical Lamination Theory (CLT) and finite element analysis (ANSYS), the behavior of spring-back were predicted and compared with the experimental data. The results from CLT and FEA agreed well with the experimental data. Although, the spring-back could be reduced by lowering curing temperature, at any case, the spring-back could not be removed completely.

In this research, to develope the A1 7075/CFRP multilayered hybrid composites, CRALL(Carbon Reinforced aluminum lamiate) specimens were processed by autoclavecuring system that curing temperature, time, surface pretreatment condition of aluminum were constant. Andthe fatigye life and failure mechanism on CFRP volume fraction and fiber orientation of CRALLspecimens were investigated. A fatigue life was greatly influenced by effect of CFRP fiber volume fraction but it was less effected than those of fiber orientation. The fatigue failure arised from interface delamination of CFRP and aluminum sheet after shear fracture of aluminum layer. The failure mechanism is assumed that the aluminum laminates which divide the CFRP into many thim layers tend to arrest the failure propagation.
