The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar(SHPB) has been the most widely used apparatus to characterize dynamic mechanical behavior of materials at high strain rates between $100s^{-1}$ and $10,000s^{-1}$. The SHPB test is based on the wave propagation theory which was developed to give the stress, strain and strain rate in the specimen using the strains measured in the incident and transmission bars. In this study, the SHPB was directly designed and fabricated for the dynamic mechanical properties of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites. In addition, this apparatus was verified for the validity by comparing the strain data obtained through the high speed camera and Digital Image Correlation(DIC) during the high strain rate compression test of the self-reinforced polypropylene composite (SRPP) specimen.

The stacking configuration of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, achieved via the filament winding process, exhibits distinct variations compared to conventional FRP composite stacking arrangements. Consequently, it becomes challenging to ascertain the influence of mechanical properties based on the typical stacking structures. Thus, it becomes imperative to enhance the mechanical behavior and optimize the interleaved structures to improve overall performance. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of incorporating amorphous halloysite nanotubes (A-HNTs) within different layers of five unique layer arrangements on the low-velocity impact properties of interleaved carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) structures. The low-velocity impact characteristics of the laminate were validated using a drop weight impact test, wherein the resulting impact damage modes and extent of damage were compared and evaluated under microscopic analysis. Each interleaved structure laminate according to whether nanoparticles are added was compared at impact energies of 10 J and 15 J. In the case of 10 J, the absorption energy showed a similar tendency in each structure. However, at 15 J, the absorption energy varies from structure to structure. Among them, a structure in which nanoparticles are not added exhibits the highest absorption energy. Additionally, various impact fracture modes were observed in each structure through optical microscopy.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars gain increasingly more attention as a reinforcing option for concrete because of their corrosion resistance and non-magnetism. GFRP reinforcement for concrete does not have the same shape as steel reinforcement. Therefore, the bond performance of FRP bars, unlike that of steel, is dependent on their design, manufacture and mechanical properties. This paper studied the effect of high strength concrete on the bond strength of GFRP bars. Twenty-nine specimens having different compressive strength of concrete were tested in order to examine the bond behavior of GFRP bars.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars gain increasingly more attention in the civil engineering community. GFRP reinforcement for concrete does not have the same shape as steel reinforcement. Therefore, the bond performance of FRP bars, unlike that of steel, is dependent on their design, manufacture and mechanical properties. It was tested in order to examine the bond behavior of GFRP bars under different compressive strength of concrete. Test results showed that the bond strength of GFRP increased with the compressive strength of concrete.

In this paper was studied on the mechanical characteristics of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics(GFRP) of the steel bar it is to replace. The advantage of FRP such as high strength, low weight and chemical inertness or noncorrosiveness can be fully exploited. GFRP bar were successfully fabricated at l0mm nominal diameters of solid and hollow types using a pultrusion method. Tensile and bending specimens from this bar were tested and compared with behavior of GFRP rebar and steel bar.

The advanced piezoelectric ceramic composite actuator, which is called LIPCA with the FRP and the optimization of the laminate configuration, was performed to maximize the stress transfer and the fiber bridging effect. This study evaluated the effect of variable electric fields on the PZT characteristic, laminate configuration and fatigue characteristics under the resonance frequency, which meant the largest performance range and the changes of its interlaminar phase were also evaluated by stages. In conclusions, Comparing with the fatigue lift of intact LIPCA, the fatigue life of LIPCA embedded by the artificial delamination was decreased up to 50%. The micro void growth and the coalescence of epoxy were actively made at the interlaminar phase subject to the large tensile stress.

Composite material is combined with two or more chemical ingredient and different components. FRP has been widely used for the structure of aircraft, ships, automobiles, sporting goods and other machines because of their high specific strength, high specific stiffness and excellent fatigue strength. Recently, the development of machine tool and cutting tool greatly relies on high speed process to satisfy high precision, high efficient machining, shortened process time to maximize material removal rate (MRR) through high cutting speed and feed speed. The research molded CFRP, GFRP as stacking sequence methods of two direction (orientation angle $0^{\circ}\;and\;0^{\circ}/9^{\circ}$) hand lay-up, drilled molded plates using cemented carbide drill and examined chip shapes, surface roughness properties.

This paper describes the need for a ductile Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) reinforcement for concrete structures. To promte the degradation of the adhesive condition at the fiber/matrix micro interface without matrix dissolution loss were carried out in salt water surrounding.

In this paper, we investigated the change of wettability, surface potential decay and surface resistivity caused by thermal-treated and plasma-treated FRP respectively for finding out the influence of electrical characteristics on the surface of polymer composites. For the change of wettability, the contact angle of thermal-treated specimen with the high temperature of 200$^{\circ}C$ increased. But that of plasma-treated specimen decreased. The characteristic of surface potential decay shows the tendency of the remarkable decrease on plasma-treated specimens, but no difference on thermal-treated specimen compared with untreated one. Also, for the surface resistivity, it shows the same trend compared with the change of contact angle. We can conclude that the degradation phenomena of epoxy surface are dominated by the induction of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity.
