The paper presents the cost optimization of composite floor trusses composed from a reinforced concrete slab of constant depth and steel trusses consisting of hot rolled channel sections. The optimization was performed by the nonlinear programming approach, NLP. Accordingly, a NLP optimization model for composite floor trusses was developed. An accurate objective function of the manufacturing material, power and labour costs was proposed to be defined for the optimization. Alongside the costs, the objective function also considers the fabrication times, and the electrical power and material consumption. Composite trusses were optimized according to Eurocode 4 for the conditions of both the ultimate and the serviceability limit states. A numerical example of the optimization of the composite truss system presented at the end of the paper demonstrates the applicability of the proposed approach.

In this paper, we have studied about electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite with a variation of ferrite. Amounts of ferrite in a composite absorber were changed from 52 wt.% to 62 wt.%. As a result, it has been shown that the electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite are related to the amount of ferrite in composite absorber. As a summary, it could be controled the electromagnetic wave absorbing property of ferrite-rubber composite by changing some kinds of annex A and amount of ferrite.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop PAn composite electrode for EDLC. EDLC cell of PAn composite electrode with 1M LiClO$_4$/PC brings out good capacitor performance below 4.0V. The radius of semicircle of PAn composite electrode adding 15wt% SP270 was absolutely small. The total resistance of EDLC cell mainly depended on internal resistance of the electrode. The discharge capacitance of PAn composite with 15wt% SP270 in 1st and 200th cycles was 42 and 42 F/g at current density of 1mA/cm$^2$. The capacitance of PAn composite with 15wt%. SP270 capacitor was larger than that of PAn capacitor without SP270. The coulombic efficiency of EDLC at discharge process of 1 and 200 cycles were 94 and 100% respectively. PAn composite EDLC with 15wt% SP270 content showed good capacitance and stability with cycling.

It is well known that flexible composite material propeller has superior radiation noise characteristics with outstanding damping effects. In this paper, three flexible composite material propellers were produced using compression molding process, and their hydrodynamic performances and radiation noise characteristics were measured. One propeller, C1, was made up from carbon/epoxy composite laminates, and the other two ones, G1 and G2, from glass/epoxy ones. Their fiber arrays were selected by the progressive damage structural analysis of propellers using composite material model MAT_162 (Composite_DMG_MSC) linked with LS-DYNA code. Carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite specimen tests were performed, their damage mechanisms were figured out, and their parameters were calibrated by their progressive damage structural analysis according to their damage criteria.

This article investigates the static thermo-mechanical response of anisotropic thick laminated composite plates on Visco-Pasternak foundations under various thermal load conditions (linear, non-linear, and uniform) along the transverse direction (thickness) of the plate, while keeping the mechanical load constant. The governing equations, which represent the thermo-mechanical behavior of the composite plate, are derived from the principle of virtual displacements. Using Navier's type solution, these equations are solved for the composite plate with simply supported condition. The Visco-Pasternak foundation type is included by considering the impact of the damping on the classical foundation model, which is modeled by Winkler's linear modulus and Pasternak's shear modulus. The excellent accuracy of the present solution is confirmed by comparing the results with those available in the literature. The study investigates the impact of geometric ratios, thermal expansion coefficient ratio, damping coefficient and foundation parameters on the thermo-mechanical flexural response of the composite plate. Overall, this article provides insights into the behavior of composite plates on visco-Pasternak foundations and may be useful for designing and analyzing composite structures in practical applications.

Computer-aided materials design requires new modeling approaches to characterize and represent fine-grained geometric structures and material compositions at multiple scales. Recently, a dual-Rep approach was developed to model materials microstructures based on a new basis function, called surfacelet. As a combination of implicit surface and wavelets, surfacelets can efficiently identify and represent planar, cylindrical, and ellipsoidal geometries in material microstructures and describe the distribution of compositions and properties. In this paper, these primitive surfacelets are extended and composite surfacelets are proposed to model more complex geometries. Composite surfacelets are constructed by Boolean operations on the primitives. The surfacelet transform is applied to match geometric features in three-dimensional images. The composition of the material near the identified features can then be modeled. A cubic surfacelet and a v-joint surfacelet are developed to demonstrate the reverse engineering process of retrieving material compositions from material images.

In this study, fatigue crack propagation in composite material under fatigue is investigated by simulation result. When another material on the specimen exists vertically to the crack line, the phenomena that crack may go straight or propagate along the boundary face according to the elastic modulus ratio of another material to matrix are investigated with compact tension specimen by compliance method. Crack propagation direction is evaluated by compliance method. By arranging this study result systematically about the crack propagation behavior due to the stiffness of inhomogeneous material, high-tech material (automobile, aircraft and steel industry) can be improved. The estimation of safety design and life (construction & nuclear power station, etc.) will be of great value industrially.

Topology optimization of steel and concrete composite based on truss-like material model is studied in this paper. First, the initial design domain is filled with concrete, and the steel is distributed in it. The problem of topology optimization is to minimize the volume of steel material and solved by full stress method. Then the optimized steel and concrete composite truss-like continuum is obtained. Finally, the distribution of steel material is determined based on the optimized truss-like continuum. Several numerical results indicate the numerical instability and rough boundary are settled. And more details of manufacture and construction can be presented based on the truss-like material model. Hence, the truss-like material model of steel and concrete is efficient to establish the distribution of steel material in concrete.

최근 항공기, 자동차 등에 사용되어왔던 복합재료가 그 사용 영역을 넓혀 교량 상판, 상하수도용 관로 등에 적용되고 있다. 이러한 복합재료의 주요 장점은 고강도, 경량성, 그리고 뛰어난 내부식성으로 기존의 재료에 비해 많은 장점을 갖고 있으나, 이러한 재료의 정확한 특성 파악 및 이를 사용한 구족물의 거동의 정확한 분석의 어려움으로 복합재료의 적용이 활발히 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이며, 이러한 요인이 복합재료를 토목구조물에 적용하는데 가장 큰 제한요소로 작용해 왔다. 본 연구에서는 복합재료 구조물의 해석을 위한 사전 연구로서, 현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 GFRP 관로에 대한 재료특성 실험을 수행하여, 각각의 구성 적층재료별 재료 특성 및 전체 적층판에 대한 재료특성을 제공한다.
