A high-pressure hose includes rebar layers of the synthetic fiber such as nylon or a steel wire to control internal pressure. The hose assembly is manufactured through the swaging process to clamp the hose into the metal fittings. Usually, the hose behavior is affected by the resultant of the longitudinal and circumferential forces produced by the internal pressure. The rebar layers can appear the most ideal rebar effect when they are arranged to the same direction as the resultant force. The braid angle applied in the rebar layers is an important factor in determining ultimate burst pressure and overall hose life. Failure can occur on the contacted parts of a hose with the metal fittings under severe operating conditions such as high pressure and temperature of the inner fluid. In this paper, the mechanical behavior between the hose and the metal fittings during the swaging process and the stress variation characteristics of a high-pressure hose under a constant applied pressure are analyzed with respect to the braid angle of steel wire using the finite element method.

Reinforced braid layer (RBL) in automobile power steering hose plays an important role in power steering system. When the working oil is applied to the power steering hose, RBL suppresses rubber hose deformation from internal pressure and heat expansion. RBL is woven textile composites having a double-row structure of nylon cords twisted with the specific helix angle. In this paper, effective material properties of RBL are estimated using a detailed 3-D finite element model considering its complicated geometry. Numerical experiments based on a superposition method are carried out to simulate uniaxial tensile loading condition.

본 논문에서는 항공기용 스트링거(Stringer)로 사용하기 위한 브레이드 복합재료(Braided composites)의 물성에 대해 연구하였다. 브레이드 프리폼(braid preform)을 $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$로 제작하기 위해 드럼 와인더 속도, 브레이드 속도, 멘드럴 직경과 같은 공정변수들을 정량화시켰고, 에폭시 수지 종류를 TGDDM, YD-128로 브레이드 프리폼에 다르게 적용하여 각도에 따른 브레이드 복합재료의 인장강도, 굽힘강도를 섬유부피분율에 따라 규명하였으며, TGA 분석으로 열적 특성과 에폭시 수지의 분해 온도를 조사하였다. 그 결과 브레이드 프리폼의 각도가 낮을수록 인장강도와 굽힘강도가 향상됨을 확인하였고, 분자량이 높은 에폭시 수지를 사용할 때 물리적 성질이 향상되었다.

In this study, the one-piece propeller shaft composed of carbon/epoxy was designed and manufactured for 4 wheel drive automobiles that can bear the target torsional torque performance of 3.5kN.m. For the CFRP tube, braiding machine was used to weaving carbon fiber and it was formed the braided yarns with the braid angle ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ and axial yarns to improve strength of the lengthwise direction. The final CFRP tube of propeller shaft was evaluated through the torsional torque test. The CFRP propeller shaft satisfied requirement of the target torsional maximum torque of 3.5kN.m. Also, it was found that the one-piece composite propeller shaft with CFRP tube had 30% weight saving effect compared with a two-piece steel propeller shaft.
