In recent years, CFRP composite materials have been increasingly used in various fields of engineering because of a high specific strength and stiffness properties. Drilling is one of the most impo rtant cutting processes that are generally carried out on CFRP materials owing to the need for the structural integration. However, delamination are often occurred as one of the drilling damages. Therefore, there are needs studying for the relationships between CFRP drilling and delamination in order to avoid low strength of the structures and inaccuracies of the integration. In this study, AE signals and thrust forces were used for the evaluations of the delamination from a drilling process in [0/900]s CFRP materials. And the drilling damage processes were observed and measured by a real time monitoring technique with a video camera. From the results, we found that the relationships between the delamination from drilling and AE characteristics and drill thrust forces for [0/900]s CFRP composites. Also, we proposed the monitoring method for a visual analysis of drilling damages.

The exploitation of fibre reinforced polymer composites, as external reinforcement is an evergreen and well-known technique for improving the structural performance of reinforced concrete structures. The demand to use FRP composites in the civil engineering industry is mainly due to its high strength, light weight, and stiffness. This paper exemplifies the shear strength of partially precracked reinforced concrete rectangular beams repaired with externally bonded Bi-Directional Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Fabrics strips. All specimens were cast in the laboratory environment without any internal shear reinforcement. The test parameters were longitudinal tensile reinforcement, shear span to effective depth ratio, spacing of CFRP strips, and orientation of CFRP reinforcement. It mainly focuses on the shear capacity and modes of failure of the CFRP strengthened shear beams. Results have shown that the CFRP repaired beams attained a shear enhancement of 32% and 107.64% greater than the control beams. This study underscores that the CFRP strip technique significantly enhanced the shear capacity of precracked reinforced concrete rectangular beams without any internal shear reinforcement.

In this study, a laminated composite material with dispersing aluminum oxide powder between the CFRP laminate plies, and also CFRP composites without aluminium oxide powder were fabricated for Mode I experiments using the DCB specimen and a tensile test. The behavior of the crack and the change of the interfacial fracture toughness were evaluated. Also in order to evaluate the damage mechanism for the crack extension, the AE sensor on the surface of the DCB test specimen was attached. AE amplitude was estimated for CFRP-alumina and CFRP composite. And the fracture toughness was evaluated by the stress intensity factor and energy release rate. The results showed that an unstable crack was propagated rapidly in CFRP composite specimen along with the interface, but crack propagation in CFRP-alumina specimen was relatively stable. From results, we show that aluminium oxide powder spreaded uniformly in the interface of the CFRP laminate carried out the role for preventing the sudden crack growth.

Carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials have been widely used in various industrial fields because the design variables can be adjusted according to the application of the required structure. Thermosetting and thermoplastic resins are used as the base materials of CFRP composites for the lightweight construction of automotive components. Thermoplastics have several advantages such as no curing and recyclability compared to thermosetting resin. In this study, CFRP composites were made using the Long-Fiber Thermoplastic-Direct (LFT-D) process. The LFT-D process includes an in-line production system that directly impregnates a thermoplastic resin, extrudes the composite material, and molds it. This process increases the strength and decreases the molding time. The tensile strength characteristics on the mechanical properties of CFRP were analyzed according to the parameters of LFT-D based on thermoplastics. To analyze the properties of CFRP, the specimens were prepared based on the tensile test standard ASTM 3039 of composite materials.

This paper aims at investigating the capability of different FRP/concrete interface models to predict the effect of carbon nanotubes on the flexural behavior of RC beams strengthened with CFRP. Three different interfacial bond models are proposed to simulate the adhesion between CFRP composites and concrete, namely: full bond, nonlinear spring element, and cohesive zone model. 3D Nonlinear finite element model is developed then validated using experimental work conducted by the authors in a previous investigation. Cohesive zone model (CZM) has the best agreement with the experimental results in terms of load-deflection response. CZM is the only bond model that accurately predicted the cracks patterns and failure mode of the strengthened RC beams. The FE model is then expanded to predict the effect of bond strength on the flexural capacity of RC beams strengthened with externally bonded CNTs modified CFRP composites using CZM bond model. The results reveal that the flexural capacity of the strengthened beams increases with increasing the bond strength value. However, only 23% and 22% of the CFRP stress and strain capacity; in the case of full bond; can be utilized before failure.

탄소섬유강화 복합재료(carbon fiber reinforced plastics; 이하 CFRP)는 금속재료에 비해 중량이 가벼우면서도 비강도와 비강성이 높은 재료로 항공기, 자동차, 선박 등의 다양한 분야에서 적용이 증가하고 있다. CFRP는 정적부하에 대해서는 우수한 역학적 특성을 가진 반면에 고온 다습한 환경에서는 우수한 역학적 특성을 기대할 수 없고, 복합재료의 유용한 기계적 성질이 장시간 주위 환경에 놓여 있어도 충분히 유지되어야 하지만 온도, 습도 등과 같은 환경적 요인으로 수분이 복합재료 내로 침투하여 기지의 분자 배열 및 화학적 성질을 변화시키고 복합재료의 계면 특성 및 구성 재질의 기계적 성질을 저하시킨다. 항공기의 경우 운항 시에 CFRP가 고온 다습한 환경조건에 장시간 노출되게 되면 CFRP 내부로 수분이 흡수되게 되는데 CFRP 내부에 흡수된 수분은 체적팽창을 야기시키고 내부 응력상태를 변화시킬 뿐만 아니라 섬유와 기지의 화학적 결합을 분리시킴으로써 접합강도를 급격히 저하시키게 된다. 따라서 CFRP를 사용하는 항공기의 구조 건전성 확보를 위하여 실제 환경에서의 특성 변화를 연구할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 공기결합 초음파탐상검사(air coupled ultrasonic testing; 이하 ACUT) 시스템을 이용하여 흡습된 CFRP의 비파괴적 특성을 평가하고자 하였다. CFRP 시험편을 직접 제작한 후 고온다습한 환경을 설정하기 위해 항온수조를 이용하여 $75^{\circ}C$의 증류수에 30일, 60일, 120일간 침지하였고, ACUT를 이용하여 흡습에 의한 CFRP 시험편의 특성 변화를 초음파 C-scan 이미지와 흡습 전과 후의 신호의 전파시간 변화를 통해 초음파 신호 특성 변화를 고찰하였다. 또한 전단강도 평가를 통해 흡습에 의한 기계적 특성 변화를 실험적으로 검증하였다.

Externally bonding fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets with an epoxy resin is an effective technique for strengthening and repairing reinforced concrete (RC) beams under flexural loads. Their resistance to electro-chemical corrosion, high strength-to-weight ratio, larger creep strain, fatigue resistance, and nonmagnetic and nonmetallic properties make carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites a viable alternative to bonding of steel plates in repair and rehabilitation of RC structures. The objective of this investigation is to study the effectiveness of CFRP sheets on ductility and flexural strength of reinforced high strength concrete (HSC) beams. This objective is achieved by conducting the following tasks: (1) flexural four-point testing of reinforced HSC beams strengthened with different amounts of cross-ply of CFRP sheets with different amount of tensile reinforcement up to failure; (2) calculating the effect of different layouts of CFRP sheets on the flexural strength; (3) Evaluating the failure modes; (4) developing an analytical procedure based on compatibility of deformations and equilibrium of forces to calculate the flexural strength of reinforced HSC beams strengthened with CFRP composites; and (5) comparing the analytical calculations with experimental results.

직조 형태의 복합재료의 파손 메커니즘은 복합적이다. 지금까지 평직 복합재료를 대상으로 많은 연구가 이루어졌으나, 파괴 저항성 거동은 아직도 표준화 되지 못한 실정이다. 또한 섬유배열방향에 따라 다른 거동을 보인다. 그래서 하중방향에 대한 섬유배열방향에 따른 파괴 저항성 평가가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 평직 CFRP 복합재료를 대상으로 다양한 섬유배열방향에 따른 파손강도 및 파괴 저항성 평가를 수행하였다.(섬유배열 방향: $0^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$) CT 시험편을 이용하여 모드 I 조건으로 시험을 수행하였다.
