In the present work, the effect of plasma treatment of aluminum on the fracture toughness of CFRP/aluminum composites was investigated. The surface of the aluminum was treated by a DC plasma. The plasma treatment was carried out at volume ratio of acetylene gas to nitrogen gas of 5:5 and the treatment time used was 30 sec. Cracked lap shear specimens of aluminum/CFRP composites were made using secondary bonding procedure. Fracture toughness of aluminum/CFRP composites was determined using the work factor approach. Then, the fracture toughness of plasma-treated aluminum/CFRP composites was compared with that of untreated aluminum/CFRP composites. The results showed that the fracture toughness of plasma-treated aluminum/CFRP composites was about 50 % higher than that of untreated aluminum/CFRP composites.

본 연구에서는 차량용 Al5052/CFRP 복합재를 U-채널 몰드에서 컴프레션 몰딩 공정을 통해 제작하였다. Al5052는 샌드블라스팅을 통해 표면처리를 하였다. 표면처리를 하지 않은 판재와 표면거칠기(Ra)가 $1.85{\mu}m$ 및, $4.25{\mu}m$인 Al5052판재를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 표면거칠기가 Al5052/CFRP 복합재의 접착성과 기계적 특성에 대한 영향을 전단시험과 굽힘실험을 통하여 평가하였다. 전단 시험에서는 표면거칠기가 $1.85{\mu}m$ 와 $4.25{\mu}m$ 시험편이 표면처리를 하지 않은 시험편보다 각각 3, 5배의 전단강도의 증가를 보였다. 굽힘시험에서는 표면처리를 하지 않았을 때 굽힘강도가 200 MPa에서 표면처리 후 400 MPa로 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Hybrid laminated Al/carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites are attracting considerable attention from industries such as aerospace and automobiles owing to their excellent specific strength and specific rigidity. However, when this material is used to fabricate high-pressure fuel storage containers subjected to repeated fatigue loads, fatigue life evaluation for the working load is regulated as an important criterion for operational safety and ease of maintenance. Among the existing evaluation methods for these vessels, the burst test and the hydraulic repeat test require expensive facilities. Thus, the present study aims to develop an improved fatigue life test for Al/CFRP laminated hybrid composites. The test specimen was manufactured using a curved mold considering the shape of a type III high-pressure storage container. The strain-life method was used for fatigue life evaluation, and the life was predicted based on the transition life. The results indicate that the more complex the CFRP stacking sequence, the longer is the transition life. This test method is expected to be useful for ensuring the fatigue safety and economy of hybrid laminate composites.

The primary objective of this paper is to study the effectiveness of anchorage on the performance of shear deficient beams externally strengthened with CFRP composites. The overall behavior of the tested beams loaded up to failure, the onset of the cracking, and crack development with increased load and ductility were described. The use of CFRP composites is an effective technique to enhance the shear capacity of RC beams by using CFRP strips anchored into the tension side and from the top by 15-34% based on the investigated variables. Bonded anchorage of CFRP strips with width of 0.1h-0.3h to the beam resulted in a decrease in average interface bond stress and an increase in the effective strain of the FRP sheet at failure, which resulted in a higher shear capacity as compared with that of the U-wrapped beams without anchorage as well as delay or mitigate the sheet debonding from the concrete surface.

The actual condition is that environmental pollution due to the development of various industries has recently become a serious issue. An interest in improving the gas mileage is rising due to an increase in the number of vehicles in the era of high oil price in particular. In order to solve this problem, priority should be given to light-weight design of car body, However, at present, a design method enabling the conventional steel plate to be replaced is direly needed in order to guarantee passengers' safety according to excessive light-weight design of car body. In this study, in order to apply a design method that could realize fuel savings and environmental pollution prevention through an improvement in gas mileage together with meeting the safety requirements for vehicles, it was supposed that CFRP/Al composites member would be used as primary structural member. And to this end, it was intended to obtain optimum design data by experimentally implementing external impulsive load applied to the car body. According to results of impact test of CFRP/Al composites member, a collapsed shape of folding, crack, and bending occurred. So, it was possible to find that energy was observed. And in case of specimen having an angle of $90^{\circ}$ in the outermost layer and stack sequence of $[90^{\circ}{_2}/0^{\circ}2]s$, its collapsed length was shown to be short. Therefore, it was possible to find that the absorbed energy was shown to be higher by 20% or above at the maximum.

This study concentrates the effect of hybridisation on the collapse mode and energy absorption for composite cylinders. The static collapse behavior of laminated(Al/CFRP/GFRP) circular-cylindrical composite shell under quasi-static axial compressive load has been investigated experimentally. Eight different hybrids of laminated(Al/CFRP/GFRP) circular-cylindrical composite shell were fabricated by autoclave. Eight types of composites were tested, namely, Al/carbon fiber/epoxy, Al/glass fiber/epoxy, Al/carbon-carbon-glass/epoxy, Al/carbon-glass-carbon/epoxy, Al/carbon-glass-glass/epoxy, Al/glass-glass-carbon/epoxy, Al/glass-carbon-glass/epoxy and Al/glass-carbon-carbon/epoxy. Collpase modes were highly dominated by the effect of hybridisation. The results also showed that the hybrid member with material sequence of Al-glass-carbon-carbon/epoxy exhibited good energy absorption capability.

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.

The hybrid composite materials are recently used in many field as an advanced material due to their high resistance to fracture. However, hybrid composite materials have several problems, especially delamination, compared with homogeneous materials such as an aluminum alloy, etc. In this study, we carried out the tensile test to study the tension failure appearances and tensile ultimate strength of CFRP/Al/CFRP hybrid composite materials. The CFRP material used in the experiment is a commercial material known as CU175NS in unidirectional carbon prepreg. Also Al/CFRP/Al hybrid composites with three kind length of a single edge crack were investigated for the relationship between an aluminium volume fraction and a crack length. The crack length was measured by a traveling microscope under a universal dynamic tester. Futhermore the stress intensity factor behavior was examined according to a volume fraction and an initial crack length ratio to a width.

하이브리드 복합재료는 FRP나 MMC와 같은 복합재료에 비하여 높은 비강도, 내피로 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 하이브리드 복합재료는 금속과 FRP의 결합구조로 되어있기 때문에 매우 복잡한 파손기구를 가지고 있다. 최근에는 비파괴 기법을 이용하여 이러한 복합재료의 파손기구를 평가하고자 하는 연구가 수행되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출 기법을 이용하여 Al7075/CFRP 하이브리드 복합재료에 대한 손상정도 및 파손기구를 명확히 하고자 하였다. 특히 AE 사상수, 에너지, 진폭과 같은 AE 파라미터들은 Al7075/CFRP 하이브리드 복합재료의 파손과정을 평가하는데 효과적이었다. 더불어, 광학현미경을 이용하여 AE 신호와 시험편의 표면소상 특성과의 관계를 비교, 검토하였다.
