In this paper, probabilistic failure analysis based on Weibull distribution function is proposed to predict the fiber strength of composite pressure vessel. And, experimental tests were performed using fiber strand specimens, unidirectional laminate specimens and composite pressure vessels to confirm the volumetric size effect on the fiber strength. As an analytical method, the Weibull weakest link model and the sequential multi-step failure model are considered and mutually compared. The volumetric size effect shows the clearly observed tendency towards fiber strength degradation with increasing stressed volume. Good agreement of fiber strength distribution was shown between test data and predicted results for unidirectional laminate and hoop ply in pressure vessel. The site effect on fiber strength depends on material and processing factors, the reduction of fiber strength due to the stressed volume shows different values according to the variation of material and processing conditions.

Fiber element method in earthquake response analysis of bridges is used to represents a realistic flexural deformation according to nonlinear behavior of beam-column section. Nonlinear pseudo-static analysis of two column bent using fiber element is accomplished and failure mechanism of the plastic hinge region is studied. Load-displacement curve obtained by nonlinear pseudo-static analysis can be applicable to earthquake response analysis by capacity spectrum method. The nonlinear time history analysis of a full bridge model using fiber element experienced by the ground motion corresponding to the target response spectrum is accomplished. The result of time history analysis is similar to that of capacity spectrum method.

Laminate structures are used in the automobile, aerospace, and display industries. The advantages of fiber metal laminates are well known. Fiber metal laminates are useful for reducing the weight and improving impact resistance . However, currently, the mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates are not derived. In this paper, we use thickness as a factor for comparing the properties of laminates of various thickness combinations. The properties fiber metal laminates are analyzed using design of experiments. In addition, the finite element method is used to analyze elastic and plastic strains of fiber metal laminates and aluminum plates. The final goal of this paper is to find a suitable finite element model of fiber metal laminates under bending.

This paper deals with anisotropic property and structural analysis for short fiber reinforced plastic composites manufactured by the injection molding process. The common approach for modeling this type of material is the consideration of the material as homogenous and isotropic. However, the common isotropy approach often results in unexpected failure. To overcome this, new structure analysis methodology was developed in order to consider fiber orientation effect using injection mold flow analysis and Halpin-Tsai equations for unidirectional composites and taking an orientation average. The numerical predictions are compared to experimental data for tensile specimen. The predicted mechanical properties agree well with experimental data for fiber orientation and weld line effect. The analysis system was also applied to an automobile part. The proposed anisotropic model predicted different mechanical properties by position of the part and different mechanical performance of the part was changed according to injection gate position.

단섬유 강화복합재료의 가공공정에 있어서 유동 중에 일어나는 섬유 배향상태를 정 확히 예측하고 제어하는 일은 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 섬유현탁액의 거동을 살펴보 기 위하여 뉴톤유체를 매질로하는 섬유현탁액을 대상으로 하여 유변학적 해석을 하였다. 이 를 위해 섬유간 상호계수는 섬유배향상태의 함수의 섬유간 평균거리를 이용하여 계산하였는 데, 섬유간 평균거리는 변형된 Doi-Edwards의 방법을 이용하였다. 축대칭 압출팽창 문제를 예로 수치모사를 하여 본 저자들이 앞서 행한 결과와 비교하였다. 유동장을 축대칭 이차원 으로 하고 섬유배향을 삼차원 모두 고려하여 구한 수치모사의 결과는 실험과 잘 일치하였 다. 진한 섬유현탁액의 경우 섬유간 상호계수는 중요한 인자로서 이것을 섬유 배향상태에 의존하는데 이섬유간 상호계수를 섬유간 거리와 섬유배향상태의 함수로 나타내는 방법을 사 용하여 보다 실제적인 해석을 할수 있었다.

복잡한 형상을 지나는 고분자 유체의 유동 해석은 학문적인 관심 뿐만 아니라 고분자 가공 공정을 이해하는데 많은 도움을 주기 때문에 산업적으로도 그 중요성이 높다. 그러나, 기하학적 복잡성이나 재료 자체의 비선형성으로 인하여 해석적인 접근에 한계가 있기 때문에 다양한 수치 해석법을 이용한 유동 해석이 주를 이루고 있다. 특히 고분자 가공 공정의 수치 모사에 있어서는 수치 해석법을 적용하는데 있어서도 완전한 3차원 해석보다는 여러 가지 가정을 적용한 2차원 내지는 2.5차원 해석이 주를 이루고 있어서도 완전한 3차원 해석보다는 여러 가지 가정을 적용한 2차원 내지는 2.5차원 해석이 주를 이루고 있는 실정이다.

Carbon fiber sheet has been used to rehabilitate many types of reinforced concrete members with its superior characteristics such as their lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and easy execution. But the failure behavior of reinforced concrete members show a high variation by the bond characteristics between carbon fiber sheet and concrete surface. In this study, a bond stress-slip model, which accounts for changes in bonding behavior between concrete and carbon fiber sheet with some link elements, is proposed. The link elements are used to represent the concrete-carbon fiber sheet interface. To investigate the efficiency of this method, the analytical solutions for the behavior of reinforced concrete beam strengthened with carbon fiber sheet are compared with experimental ones. Results from the proposed model comparatively well agree with the experimental results.
