섬유강화복합재료는 비강도와 비강성이 뛰어나 여러 분야에 걸쳐 사용량이 증가하고 있으며 자전거와 같은 스포츠 용품에도 사용량이 점점 증가하고 있다. 복합재료는 다양한 형상의 구조부품으로 만들어져 사용되고 있다. 특히 자전거 프레임의 일부에는 사각형 복합재 튜브 형태로 제작되어 사용되고 있으나 이에 관한 연구는 많지 않다. 사각 복합재 튜브의 경우에 모서리에 적절한 라운드 값을 주어 굽힘과 비틀림에 견디도록 설계된다. 본 연구에서는 모서리의 곡률반경이 R5, R10, R15인 세 개의 그룹에 가로-세로 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2의 형상비를 갖는 아홉 종류의 사각 복합재 튜브를 제작하였다. 탄소섬유강화복합재료가 튜브제작에 사용되었으며 단면적은 모두 같도록 설계되었다. $[0/90/{\pm}45]s$으로 적층하여 제작한 사각 복합재 튜브에 굽힘과 비틀림 하중을 가하여 실험평가를 수행하였다. 실험결과 사각 복합재 튜브의 R 값과 형상비에 따라서 굽힘 및 비틀림 특성이 크게 다름을 알 수 있었다.

This paper deals with the optimum design of thick-walled multi-layered composite tubes by minimizing the process-induced residual stresses under some constraints of structural stiffnesses. An analytic model based on quasi-static thermoelasticity is adopted for the calculation of the residual stresses in the multi-layered composite tubes. The numerical results of optimization show that, in the case of cross-ply CFRP tubes, the residual stresses can be reduced to a certain level by controlling ply thicknesses. However, the optimized tubes may be susceptible to cracking because the transverse residual stress is still large in a strength-based sense. To further suppress the residual stresses, the effects of stacking sequence, wall thickness and axial pretension on the optimum solutions are examined.

본 연구에서는 내열 특성과 구조적인 특성을 갖는 탄소섬유/페놀릭 복합재 내열튜브를 필라멘트와인딩 공법에 의해 제작하고 이들의 구조적인 성능을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 내열튜브의 제작방법을 소개하고 황산용해법을 적용하여 내열튜브에서의 섬유체적비와 기공함유율을 측정하였다. 시편폭을 달리한 인장시편의 기계적 특성을 평가함으로써 강화섬유의 연속성을 나타낼 수 있는 시편형상을 제시하였으며 공정변수를 달리한 내열튜브에서 채취된 인장시편의 기계적 특성을 평가함으로써 내열튜브의 제작을 위한 적절한 공정조건을 결정하였다. 그리고 보증시험을 통해 수집한 음향신호의 분석을 통해 내열튜브에서의 균열진전과 파손양상을 조사하였다. 마지막으로 내열튜브 자체에 대해 보증시험과 파열시험을 수행함으로써 내열튜브 자체의 구조적인 신뢰성을 확인하였다.

This paper is to investigate collapse mechanisms of CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)composite tubes and to evaluate collapse characteristics on the change of interlaiminar number and ply orientation angle of outer under static and impact axial compression loads. When a CFRP composite tube is crushed, static/impact energy is consumed by friction between the loading plate and the splayed fronds of the tube, by fracture of the fibers, matrix and their interface. These are associated with the energy absorption capability. In general, CFRP tube with 6 interlaminar number(C-type), absorbed more energy than other tubes(A, B, D-types). The maximum collapse load seemed to increase as the interlaminar number of such tubes increases. The collapse mode depended upon orientation angle of outer of CFRP tubes and loading status(static/impact). Typical collapse modes of CFRP tubes are wedge collapse mode, splaying collapse mode and fragmentation collapse mode. The wedge collapse mode was shown in case of CFRP tubes with 0° orientation angle of outer under static and impact loadings. The splaying collapse mode was shown in only case of CFRP tubes with 90°orientation angle of outer under static loadings, however in Impact tests those were collapsed in fragmentation mode .

This paper describes a series of compression tests carried out on concrete filled double skin tubes (CFDST). Both outer and inner tubes are cold-formed circular hollow sections (CHS). Six section sizes were chosen for the outer tubes with diameter-to-thickness ratio ranging from 19 to 57. Two section sizes are chosen for the inner tubes with diameter-to-thickness ratio of 17 and 33. The failure modes, strength, ductility and energy absorption of CFDST are compared with those of empty single skin tubes. Increased ductility and energy absorption have been observed for CFDST especially for those having slender outer tubes with larger diameter-to-thickness ratio. Predictions from several theoretical models are compared with the ultimate strength of CFDST stub columns obtained in the tests. The proposed formula was found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.

Thermoforming of fiber reinforced thermoplastic (FRTP) braided tubes was studied as a new forming technique. FRTP braided tubes with four plies are fabricated by the pressure bonding method are used in thermoforming. Bulge forming, bending process, pipe fittings and FE analysis are carried out in this study. In bulge forming the composite tube can be expanded up to about two times initial diameter. The suggested bending process can be obtained bent products with various bending radii. In pipe fitting it is possible to fabricate T-shape fitting, cross fitting and two-branch fitting. These results exhibit developed forming processes become useful processes for textile composite tubes.

Thermal deformations and stresses due to temperature changes are the serious problems in cryogenic structures such as the torque tube in a superconducting generator, In this paper, the equations of thermal expansion coefficients expressed only by material properties and winding angles are derived for the filament wound composite tubes. The experimental results of thermal contraction of CFRP tubes are compared with those from theoretical approach. Composite tubes with optimally regulated thermal expansion coefficient are designed on the basis of the study for the torque tube in the superconducting generator with temperature distributions varying from 300K to 4.2 K. The filament winding angle of composites resisting thermal stresses properly is sought by the finite element method using layered shell elements. The results show that the composite tubes designed for the requirements in cryogenic environments can effectively cope with the thermal stress problem.

In this paper, quasi-static crushing tests of composite circular tubes under axial compression load are conducted to investigate the energy absorption characteristics. Circular tubes used for this experiment are glass/epoxy (GFRP) composite tubes, which is fabricated by the filament winding method. One edge of the composite tube is chamfered to reduce the initial peak load and to prevent catastrophic failure during crushing process. Two suggested trigger mechanisms for the composite tubes are investigated. Crushing modes are mainly affected by thickness/diameter ratio, and average crushing loads are mainly affected by their cross-sections. Energy absorption characteristics vary significantly as a function of the tube geometry, trigger mechanism, t/D ratio and the cross-sectional shape.

Kenya has recently experienced worrying collapse of buildings during construction largely attributable to the poor quality of in-situ concrete and poor workmanship. The situation in the country is further compounded by rapid deterioration of infrastructure, hence necessitating the development of alternative structural systems such as concrete filled unplasticized poly vinyl chloride (UPVC) tubes as columns. The work herein adds on to the very limited and scanty work on use of UPVC tubes in construction. This study presents the findings of experimental and analytical work which investigated the structural response of composite concrete filled UPVC tubes under compressive load regime. UPVC pipes are cheaper than steel tubes and can be used as formwork during construction and thereafter as an integral part of column. Key variables in this study included the strength of infill concrete, the length to diameter ratio (L/D) of the plastic tube, as well as the diameter to thickness ratio (D/2t) of the plastic tube. Plastic tubes having varying diameters and heights were used to confine concrete of different strengths. Results obtained in the study clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of UPVC tubes as a confining medium for infill concrete, attributable to enhanced composite interaction between the UPVC tube and infill concrete medium. It was determined that compressive strength of the composite column specimens increased with increased concrete strength while the same decreased with increased column height, albeit by a small margin since all the columns considered were short columns. Most importantly, the experimental confined concrete strength increased significantly when compared to unconfined concrete strength; the strength increased between 1.18 to 3.65 times the unconfined strength. It was noted that lower strength infill concrete had the highest confined strength possibly due to enhanced composite interaction with the confining UPVC tube. The study further proposes an analytical model for the determination of confined strength of concrete.

충격에 의한 복합재 튜브의 내부 박리 현상은 항공 우주 및 자동차 산업 등에서 흔히 발생되어져 왔다. 이러한 복합재 구조물의 안전성을 평가하기 위해서는 적외선열화상기법(IRT)과 같은 복합재 구조물의 내부 결함을 검출할 수 있는 비파피검사가 필요하다. 적외선 열화상 이미지 패턴 분석에 의해서 내부 결함이 발생한 복합재 튜브의 내 외부 결함 부위를 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 적외선열화상기법을 이용하여 충격 하중에 따른 복합재 튜브 표면에서 방출하는 적외선 에너지를 감지하여 열 분배로부터 복합재 튜브의 내부 결함을 검출하는 연구를 수행하였다.
