The aim of this work is conduct the study on light weight and structural performance improvement of the composite wind power blade. GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) pre-empted by CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic), the major material of wind power blade, was identified the superiority of mechanical performance through the tensile and fatigue test. SENT(Single Edge Notched Tension) specimen fracture test was conducted on the specimen that laminated together 2 ply CFRP with 4 ply GFRP through DIC(Digital Image Correlation) analysis. The SENT specimen thickness and $a_0/W$ ratio is 1.45 mm and 0.2, respectively. The fracture test accomplished with displacement control with 0.1 mm/min at the room temperature. The experimental apparatus used for the fracture test consisted of a 50kN universal dynamic tester and CCD camera connected to a personal computer (PC), which was used to record images of the specimen surface. Following data acquisition, the images and load-displacements were transferred to the PC, on which the DIC software was implement. The experiment and DIC analysis results show that CFRP/GFRP laminated composite exhibits improvement of the strength, compared with that of the existing blade material. This study shows the result that the strength of CFRP rotor blade of wind turbine satisfies through the experimental and DIC method.

Impact damages induced by a low-velocity impact load on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite plates fabricated with various stacking sequences were studied experimentally. The impact responses of the CFRP composite plates were significantly affected by the laminate stacking sequences. Three types of specimens, specifically quasi-isotropic, unidirectional, and cross-ply, were tested by a constant impact carrying the same impact energy level. An impact load of 3.44 kg, corresponding to 23.62 J, was applied to the center of each plate supported at the boundaries. The unidirectional composite plate showed the worst impact resistance and broke completely into two parts; this was followed by the quasi-isotropic lay-up plate that was perforated by the impact. The cross-ply composite plate exhibited the best resistance to the low-velocity impact load; in this case, the impactor bounced back. Impact parameters such as the peak impact force and absorbed energy were evaluated and compared for the impact resistant characterization of the composites made by different stacking sequences.

적층복합재료, 특히 탄소섬유 복합재료는 금속에 비해 가벼우며 상대적으로 비강도 및 비강성이 뛰어나기 때문에 항공 우주 산업 및 자동차 산업 등과같이 광범위한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 적층 복합재료는 섬유의 배열이 모두 면내방향으로 배열되어있기 때문에 박리가 발생한다는 큰 단점이 있으며, 이는 적층복합재료의 응용분야를 제한한다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 π-빔과 평판이 결합된 형태의 적층복합재료 T-빔을 개발하고, 구조해석 및 기계적 물성평가를 통하여 설계변수를 최적화하였다. 이후 적층복합재료 T-빔의 설계변수를 3D 직조 프리폼에 동일하게 적용하여 T-빔을 개발하였으며, 적층구조에 비하여 향상된 기계적 강도를 달성할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 강도향상을 필요로 하는 기존의 적층복합재료 구조물에 적용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper shows shear wave behavior of CFRP composite laminates as a polar grid form to evaluate vibration pattern of ultrasonic transducers, which gives measured modelling fundamental contents of nondestructive evaluation. Polarized direction can be obtained by using a c-scanner and sensitivity of transducers is founded when using through-transmission method of two transducers. And modelling of vector decomposition is presented based on ply-to-ply method to apply practicable nondestructive evaluation of CFRP laminate lay up. This modelling decomposes the transmission of linearly polarized wave into orthogonal components through each ply of a laminate. It is found that a high provable shows between the model and experimental developed in characterizing layup of CFRP composite laminates.

Steel plate or FRP materials have been typically used for the seismic retrofit of civil infrastructures. In order to overcome the limitation of each retrofitting material, a composite material, which takes advantages from both metal and fiber polymer materials, has been developed. In the study herein, the composite retrofitting material consists of metal part(steel or aluminum) and FRP sheet part(glass or carbon fiber). The metal part can enhance the ductility and the FRP part the ultimate strength. As a preliminary study to investigate the fundamental mechanical characteristics of the metal-FRP laminated composite material this study performed the flexural fracture test with various experimental variables including the number, the angle and the combination of FRP laminates. From the aluminum-FRP composite tests no great increase in flexural strength and flexural toughness were observed. However, flexural toughness of steel-FRP laminate composite was increased so that its behavior can be considered in the retrofit design. In addition, the angle and the kind of fibers should be carefully considered in conjunction with the expected loading conditions.

The objective of this study is to investigate effects of prebuckling on the buckling of laminated composite cylindrical shells. axial compression is considered for laminated composite cylindrical shells with length to radius ratios. The shell walls are made of a laminate with several symmetric ply orientations. This study was made using finite difference energy method, utilizing the nonlinear bifurcation branch with nonlinear prebuckling displacements. The results are compared to the buckling loads determined when membrane prebuckling displacements are considered.

The stress and torque transmission capability of the tubular, hexagonal and elliptic single lap joints were analyzed by the finite element method (ANSYS 4.4A) and compared to those with the experimental results. The adherends of the joints were composed of the carbon fiber epoxy composite shafts and the steel shafts. In calculating the torque capability, the linear laminate (smeared) properties of the composite and the nonlinear shear properties of the adhesive were used. The experiments revealed that the torque capability calculation performed by this method gave accurate results.

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.

복합재 부품의 전형적인 조인트 형태를 평가하기 위해서, 2열 볼트 체결 탄소섬유강화 복합재의 파손강도와 파손 모드에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 연구는 상온과 고온다습 조건에서 적층과 형상을 변수로 실험적으로 수행되었다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 하중-변위 선도는 두 가지 형태로 관찰되었으며, 각 파손 모드는 하중-변위 선도로 특징지어진다. 고온다습 조건의 파손형태는 베어링 파손 모드이며, 베어링 파손 모드에서 파손 강도는 유효강성의 영향이 크지 않다고 분석된다. 고온다습 조건의 파손강도 감소는 침투한 수분에 의해 섬유와 모재의 층간 결합부의 물성 저하에 기인한다.

In this paper, the effect of matrix cracks on the buckling of a hybrid laminated plate is investigated. The plate is composed of carbon nanotube reinforced functionally graded (CNTR-FG) layers and conventional fiber reinforced composite (FRC) layers. Different distributions of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) through the thickness of layers are considered. The cracks are modeled as aligned slit cracks across the ply thickness and transverse to the laminate plane, and the distribution of cracks is assumed statistically homogeneous corresponding to an average crack density. The first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is employed to incorporate the effects of rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation, and the meshless kp-Ritz method is used to obtain the buckling solutions. Detailed parametric studies are conducted to investigate the effects of matrix crack density, CNTs distributions, CNT volume fraction, plate aspect ratio and plate length-to-thickness ratio, boundary conditions and number of layers on buckling behaviors of hybrid laminated plates containing CNTR-FG layers.
