This paper deals with free vibration analysis of bidirectional functionally graded annular plates resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation. The formulations are based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory. This study presents a novel 2-D six-parameter power-law distribution for ceramic volume fraction of 2-D functionally graded materials that gives designers a powerful tool for flexible designing of structures under multi-functional requirements. Various material profiles along the thickness and in the in-plane directions are illustrated by using the 2-D power-law distribution. The effective material properties at a point are determined in terms of the local volume fractions and the material properties by the Mori-Tanaka scheme. The 2-D differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is used to discretize the governing equations and to implement the boundary conditions. The fast rate of convergence of the method is shown and the results are compared against existing results in literature. Some new results for natural frequencies of the plates are prepared, which include the effects of elastic coefficients of foundation, boundary conditions, material and geometrical parameters. The interesting results indicate that a graded ceramic volume fraction in two directions has a higher capability to reduce the natural frequency than conventional 1-D functionally graded materials.

In this paper, a new first shear deformation plate theory based on neutral surface position is developed for the static and the free vibration analysis of functionally graded plates (FGPs). Moreover, the number of unknowns of this theory is the least one comparing with the traditional first-order and the other higher order shear deformation theories. The neutral surface position for a functionally graded plate which its material properties vary in the thickness direction is determined. The mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary continuously in the thickness direction by a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Based on the present shear deformation plate theory and the neutral surface concept, the governing equations are derived from the principle of Hamilton. There is no stretching-bending coupling effect in the neutral surface based formulation. Numerical illustrations concern flexural and dynamic behavior of FG plates with Metal-Ceramic composition. Parametric studies are performed for varying ceramic volume fraction, length to thickness ratios. The accuracy of the present solutions is verified by comparing the obtained results with the existing solutions.

기능 경사 복합재에서는 열적 탄성 거동이 성분의 구성분포에 의해 명백하게 구분되어지도록 두가지의 성분입자들을 특정한 체적분율 분포에 따라서 혼합한다. 따라서, 설계자는 주어진 제약조건에 대해 목적하는 성능에 적합한 기능 경사 복합재를 설계하기 위해서 최적의 체적분율 분포를 결정해야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 금속과 세라믹으로 구성된 내열 기능 경사 복합재의 2차원 체적분율을 최적화하기 위하여 내부벌칙함수법과 유한차분법을 사용한 수치 최적화기법을 제안하였다. 최적화 효율을 위해 단일 설계변수의 유한개의 균질 사각형 격자로 기능 경사 복합재의 영역을 나누었다. 그렇지만, 연속적인 체적분율을 구현하기 위하여 최적설계 후에 전체적으로 연속적인 이차원 선형함수로써 불연속적인 체적분율을 보간하였다.

섬유체적비에 따라 복합재료의 기계적 열적 특성이 크게 달라지기 때문에, 복합재료 설계시 섬유체적비를 올바르게 측정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 일반적으로 섬유체적비를 측정하는 여러 방법은 산화되지 않는 유리섬유나 세라믹섬유를 사용한 복합재료의 경우에는 적합하고 효율적이다. 하지만 산화현상이 있는 탄소섬유의 경우에는 산화 방법과 조건에 따라서 다른 결과를 가져오게 되며 그러므로 올바른 섬유체적비를 측정이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 Thermogravimetric analysis를 수행하여 산화되는 탄소섬유의 질량 감소량을 보정하여 탄소섬유 복합재료의 섬유체적비를 측정하였고 현미경 단면 이미지를 이용하여 그 결과를 검증하였다.

In Pb1-xLax(Zry, Tiz)1-x/4O3 system, it selects the composition 7/65/35 (x=7, y=65, z=35) that was reported to have eminent Pyroelectric properties, and that is sintered with PbZrO3＋0.3wt.% PbO2 atmosphere powder. From the sintered ceramic and Poly Vinyl Alcohol, the thin wafers are fabricated with 0-3connectivity, and they are researched in Pyroelectric properties and the others according to volume ratio between ceramic and polymer. It was possible to fabricate the film containing ceramic up to 80vol% in PVA polymer. The increment of PLZT ceramic volume fraction improve the pyroelectric coefficient of the composite. On Pyroelectric coefficient and the figure of merit, a little inflection caused by glass point(Tg) of PVA appeared. The degree of inflection is proportioned to the amount of PVA.

본 논문은 세라믹재료가 강화재로써 보강된 복합재료가 횡방향의 단축인장하중을 받는 경우, 복합재료의 변형, 재료내 발생되는 손상의 특징, 및 응력-변형률 특성에 관한 컴퓨터 해석결과이다. 해석은 SiC/Ti 시스템을 대상으로 하였으며, 특성은 강화재의 배열형태, 강화재/기지 계면에서의 결합유무, 강화재의 부피분율변화에 대하여 각기 해석되었다. 계면에서 강한 결합이 있는 복합재와는 달리, 약한 결합의 복합재는 인장하중에 의하여 세라믹/기지 계면에서 분리가 발생되었다. 이 분리는 전체 복합재의 강성을 감소시키며, 세라믹 강화재의 부피분율이 증가할수록 탄성계수 및 횡방향 평균응력의 최종크기를 나타내는 한계응력의 크기감소로 나타났다. 계면결합이 강한 경우는 세라믹 부피분율이 증가할수록 사각형 배열보다는 육각형배열의 복합재에서 다소 큰 증가율로 나타났다. 그러나, 계면결합이 약한 경우는 세라믹 부피분율이 증가할수록 사각형 배열보다는 육각형배열의 복합재에서 상대적으로 큰 감소율로 해석되었다. 본 연구의 해석결과는 알려진 문헌의 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

The $Y_2O_3$ ceramics have been widely used as plasma resistant materials in the semiconductor industry. In this study, composites made of plasma resistant $Y_2O_3$ and electrically conductive carbon have been produced. The electrical properties of this composite were measured with respect to the size, volume fraction of the conductive carbon phase, and sintering temperature. When micro-sized carbon was used, the composites were insulating up to 5 wt% addition of the carbon. However, when nano-sized carbon of around 60 ~100 nm was used, the composites became conductive over threshold volume fraction of carbon, which increased with increasing sintering temperature. This behavior of electrical conductivity of the composites was discussed in terms of the percolation theory. The percolation threshold of the conductivity seemed to be affected by the grain growth and coalescences of dispersed conductive carbon phases with grain growth of matrix $Y_2O_3$.

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramic/epoxy composites with '0-3' connectivity were prepared by cold-pressing with a temperature controlled curing method. A ceramic powder with a composition of $(Na_{0.51}K_{0.47}Li_{0.02})(Nb_{0.8}Ta_{0.2})O_3$ was synthesized by a conventional solid state reaction route. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ceramic/epoxy composites were characterized as a function of the volume fraction (${\phi}$) of piezoelectric ceramics, which was varied from 70 to 95 vol%. The results indicated that the piezoelectric properties of composites were significantly affected by the volume fraction of ceramics. In terms of the piezoelectric properties, specimens showed the best performance at ${\phi}$= 85 vol%, resulting in the piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$ of 39 pC/N and the figure of merit as a piezoelectric energy harvester ($d_{33}{\cdot}g_{33}$) of 1.24 $pm^2/N$.

The effect of size and volume fraction of ceramic particles, with sliding velocity on the wear properties were investigated for the metal matrix composites fabricated by the pressureless infiltration process. The metal matrix composites exhibited about 5.5 - 6 times the wear resistance compared with AC8A alloy at high sliding velocity, and by increasing the particle size and decreasing the volume fraction, the wear resistance was improved. The wear resistance of metal matrix composites and AC8A alloy exhibited different aspects. Wear loss of AC8A alloy increased with sliding velocity, linearly : whereas, metal matrix composites indicated more wear loss than AC8A alloy at the slow velocity region. However, a transition point of wear loss was found at the middle velocity region, which shows the minimum wear loss. Further, wear loss at the high velocity region exhibited nearly the same value as the slow velocity region. In terms of wear mechanism, the metal matrix composites generally exhibited abrasive wear at slow to high sliding velocity； however, AC8A alloy showed abrasive wear at low sliding velocity and adhesive and melt wear at high sliding velocity.

Solid electroyte nasion was synthesized by the optimized solid state reaction minimizing the volume fraction of secondary $ZrO_2$ and glassy phases. To compensate for the evaporation of Na and P during heat-treatment, excess Na and P were added to the starting composition $Na_{1+x} Zr_2 Si_x P_{d-x} O_{12}$ (x=2.1). Phases pure nasicon comparable in volume fraction to the one obtaied from sol-gel process were synthesized after the reaction at $1100~1150^{\circ}C$,$ P_{O2}>=0.1-0.15 $$ZrO_2$ increased with the heat-treatment time due to the decomposition of nasicon phase and that of glassy phase increased as partial oxygen pressure decreased. The synthesized nasion showed a good electrical conductivity of $-1{\times}10^{-2}({\omega}{\cdot}cm)^{-1}$ at $350^{\circ}C$.
