This article provides strength estimation of T-joint area which made of composite material. Inner and outer structures of medium range surveillance radar are all made of sandwich structure which is made with composite material(CFRP) and aluminum honeycomb core. Since the radar is voluminous and has very complex inner structure, the whole structure cannot be made as one piece. Therefore, usage of T-joints is inevitable. Since some of stress concentration areas were located around T-joint area, series of strength estimations were conducted. Three different configurations were tested to improve mechanical properties(primarily on strength). The results show an improvement on strength to meet calculated strength on stress concentrated T-joint area.

수압램 현상은 전투용 항공기의 주요 전투 손상 중 하나이며, 항공기 기체 생존성 평가에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 수압램 효과는 유체-구조물간의 상호관계를 통하여 나타나며, 구조물의 동적 변형률을 측정하여 파손 거동 및 파손 여부를 확인할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 수압램 현상을 모사할 수 있는 수압램 시험 장치를 이용하여 수압램에 의한 복합재 T-Joint의 파손 시험을 수행하였다. 또한 계측기기의 입력 정전용량과 시간 상수 확인을 위해 PVDF 센서 보정 시험을 수행하였다. 복합재 T-Joint에 스트레인 게이지와 전하증폭기를 사용하지 않은 PVDF 센서를 부착하여 수압램 현상에 의한 복합재 T-Joint의 동적 변형률을 측정하였다. PVDF 센서와 스트레인 게이지의 동적 변형률을 이용하여 복합재 T-Joint의 파손 거동 및 파손 여부를 확인하였다.

As a newly structural system, RCS composite system has been researched last two decades. However mechanism of exterior T-type joint for RCS composite system is not well known. This research is focus on the exterior T-type joint for RCS composite system. Specimens are designed by the ASCE guideline, tested and compared with the inner RCS joint. Test variables include face bearing plate(FBP), extended face bearing plate(E-FBP) and U-bar. The tests indicate that the strength of exterior T-type joint is higher than that of the guideline by ASCE. The U-bar has a significant effect on the joint strength and absorbing the strain energy.

Application of composite structures on naval ships strongly depends on the mechanical strength and collapse behavior of the T-joints of the whole structure. Because of the weight advantages over single skin composite and bolt fastening joining, three types of T-joints using both honeycomb sandwich composite and adhesive bonding were suggested to determine the effect of T-joint configuration. It was found that joining with a urethane foam block and overlaminates using the secondary co-bonding technique improves T-joint strength.

항공기 날개 구조물은 유체를 포함한 연료탱크로 사용되며, 연료탱크와 날개구조물을 연결하는 체결부는 복합재 구조물을 사용한다. 항공기 날개 구조물에 고속의 물체가 관통 또는 폭발하게 되면 수압램 현상이 발생하며, 수압램 현상에 의해 연료탱크에 높은 압력이 생성된다. 이러한 높은 앞력은 날개구조물 뿐만 아니라 연료탱크와 체결부의 파손을 야기하기 때문에 전투용 항공기의 기체 생존성 확보를 위해서는 수압램 효과에 대한 체결부의 거동을 확인해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 수압램 검증 시험에 앞서 항공기의 복합재 날개 외피와 스파 체결부를 모사한 4종류의 복합재 T-Joint에 정적 인장 시험을 수행하여 시편의 파손 거동을 스트레인 게이지와 초고속 카메라를 통해 확인하였다. 스트레인 게이지를 통해 얻은 변형률을 기준으로 동일한 형상과 하중 조건을 갖는 유한요소해석 모델링의 해석 결과를 비교하여 모델링의 타당성을 확인하였으며, 정적 하중에서 복합재 T-Joint의 파손응력을 확인하였다. 유한요소해석을 통해 향후 진행될 수압램 시험에서 각 시편이 파손되는 압력을 예측하였다.

This paper highlights the experimental and numerical investigations performed on a tubular T-joint fabricated from circular hollow sections under axial compressive loads applied at the brace. Tests were performed on a reference joint and the joint wrapped with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). The Nitowrap EP carbon fiber with Nitowrap 410 resin serve as a composite material is used for wrapping the T-joint. Schematic diagram of the fabricated tubular joint for the experimental test setup, along with the experimental and numerical results are presented. After performing these experiments, it has been demonstrated that the joint wrapped with CFRP has a better strength and lesser deflection than a reference joint. Finite element analysis carried out in Ansys reveals that the results were in good correlation with the experimental values.

The concrete bridge decks are usually precast and in-situ assembled with steel girders with post-pouring joint in the construction practice of super-wide steel-concrete composite beam. But the difference of concrete age between the precast slabs and the post-pouring joint has been not yet considered for the long-term performance analysis of this kind composite beam. A simply supported precast-assembled T-shaped beam was taken as an example to analyze the long-term performance of steel-concrete composite beam with post-pouring joint. Based on the deformation coordination conditions of the old-new concrete deck and steel girder, a theoretical model for the long-term behavior of precast-assembled composite beam is proposed in this paper according to age-adjusted effective modulus method. Then, the feasibility of the proposed model is verified by the available test data from the Gilbert's composite beams. Parametric studies were preformed to evaluate the influences of the cross-sectional area ratio of the post-pouring joint to the whole bridge deck, as well as the difference of concrete age between the precast slabs and the post-pouring joint, on the long-term performance of the composite beam. The results indicate that the traditional method without considering the age difference would seriously underestimate the effect of creep and shrinkage of concrete bridge decks. The concrete age difference between the precast slabs and the post-pouring joint should be demonstrated for the life cycle design and long-term performance analysis of precast-assembled steel-concrete composite beams.

This study is reported the adhesion failure in adhesive bonded composite and specifically for the T-joint structure. Three-dimensional finite element analysis has been performed using a commercial tool and the necessary outcomes are obtained via an eight noded solid element (Solid 185-element) from the library of ANSYS. The structural analysis input has been incurred through ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) code. The normal and shear stress distributions along different layers of the joint structure have been evaluated as the final outcomes. Based on the stress distributions, failure location in the composite joint structure has been identified by using the Tsai-Wu stress failure criterion. It has been found that the failure index is maximum at the interface between flange and web part of the joint (top layer) which indicates the probable location of failure initiation. This kind of failures are considered as adhesion failure and the failure propagation is governed by strain energy release rate (SERR) of fracture mechanics. The different adhesion failure lengths are also considered at the failure location to calculate the SERR values i.e. mode I fracture (opening), mode II fracture (sliding) and mode III fracture (tearing) along the failure front. Also, virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) principle of fracture mechanics steps is used to calculate the above said SERRs. It is found that the mode I SERR is more dominating compared to other two modes of failure for the joint considered. Finally, the influences of various parametric (geometrical and material) effect on SERR of the joint structure are evaluated and discussed in details.

The modal frequency responses of adhesive bonded T-joint structure have been analyzed numerically and verified with own experimental data. For this purpose, the damped free frequencies of the bonded joint have been computed using a three-dimensional finite element model via ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) code. The practical relevance of the joint structure analysis has been established by comparing the simulation data with the in-house experimental values. Additionally, the influences of various geometrical and material parameters on the damped free frequency responses of the joint structure have been investigated and final inferences discussed in details. It is observed that the natural frequency values increase for the higher aspect ratios of the joint structure. Also, the joint made up of Glass fiber/epoxy with quasi-isotropic fiber orientation indicates more resistance towards free vibration.
