Polymer composite materials offer high strength and stiffness to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and total life cost reductions that appeal to the marine industry. The advantages of composite construction have led to their incorporation in U.S. yacht hull structures over 46 meters (150 feet) in length. In order to construct even larger hull structures, higher quality composites with lower cost production techniques need to be developed. In this study, the effect of composite hull fabrication processes on mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites is presented. Fabrication techniques investigated during this study are hand lay-up (HL), vacuum infusion (VI), and hybrid (HL+VI) processes. Mechanical property testing includes: tensile, compressive, and ignition loss sample analysis. Results demonstrate that the vacuum pressure implemented dining composite fabrication has an effect on mechanical properties. The VI processed GFRP yields improved mechanical properties in tension/compression strengths and tensile modulus. The hybrid GFRP composites, however, failed in a sequential manor, due to dissimilar failure modes in the HL and VI processed sides. Fractography analysis was conducted to validate the mechanical property testing results.

Among the various plastic polymer molding methods, thermoplastic resins are most commonly used for mass production due to their suitability for high-volume manufacturing. However, recently, thermosetting resins have been utilized depending on product design and functionality, necessitating appropriate mold design and injection conditions to achieve suitable molded products. Therefore, resin selection must be considered not only in terms of product design but also based on functionality, taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of the resin. Additionally, since the flow characteristics of the resin are critical in injection molding, molding conditions should be set according to the thermal, physical, and rheological properties of the resin.This study focuses on the effects of filler content (glass fiber) in thermosetting fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP), specifically Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) resin, which is crucial for thermal deformation in automotive motor housing products. The resins used in this study include Generic BMC1 resin, BMC1 with 15% glass fiber, and BMC1 with 30% glass fiber. The research employs CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) to investigate strain under basic conditions for the BMC resin and the strain variations with the addition of glass fiber. It also examines the impact of filler content on injection molding conditions, specifically mold temperature and curing time. Experimental results indicate that mold temperature has the most significant effect among the injection conditions, while the impact of curing time was relatively minor.

For the production of high strength constructional glass reinforced plastics and various composite materials continuous glass fibers of high strength and increased modulus of elasticity are used. As is known, the glasses with highest strength were obtained in magnesia alumosilicate and magnesia lime-alumosilicate systems when introducing oxides of titanium and zirconium, boric anhydride, etc. in some cases. The experimental investigations have shown that some glass compositions are characterized by the ratio viscosity/crystallization which is favourable for glass fiber drawing process that permits the attainment of high strength level at the conditions of high temperature glass melting and formation.

본 논문은 차량에 사용되는 B필러의 강화재를 기존의 스틸 소재에서 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)와 GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics)로 대체하여 경량화하는 것이 목표다. 이를 위해서는 무게는 감소시키면서 기존 B필러를 대체할 수 있는 구조안정성을 확보해야 한다. 기존 B필러는 스틸 아우터(outer)를 포함하여 다양한 형상의 스틸 강화재로 구성되며, 이와 같은 스틸 강화재 중 2가지의 스틸 강화재를 복합재로 대체하고자 한다. 이와 같은 스틸 강화재는 강화재 각각을 따로 제작하여 용접을 통해 결합되지만, 복합재 강화재는 패치(patch) 형태의 CFRP와 리브(rib) 구조의 GFRP를 활용하여 압축과 사출 공정을 통해 한번에 제작된다. CFRP는 B필러의 고강도부에 부착되어 측면 하중에 저항하도록 하였으며, GFRP 리브는 위상 최적화(Topology optimization) 기법을 통해 비틀림과 측면 하중을 저항하도록 설계하였다. 구조해석을 통해 기존 스틸 강화재와 비교 분석을 수행하였고, 경량화율을 산출하였다.

무기계 난연제로 널리 사용되고 있는 aluminum trihydrate와 antimony trioxide의 첨가에 의한 열화거동과 난연효과를 열분석 및 화염특성시험(LOI test, flammabilty을 45 degree test)을 통하여 알아보았다. 일반 구조용 glass fiber/unsaturated polyester 복합재료 제조 시 난연 조성에 따른 난연 효과와 기계적 특성(경도, 인장강도, 탄성률) 변화를 조사하였다. 항공우주용 구조에 사용되는 난연 처리된 glass fiber/epoxy prepreg 복합재료 제조 시 공정조건에 따른 난연 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과를 이용하여 난연제의 난연 기구 및 기계적 물성을 고려한 최적 난연 조성은 ATH의 경우 10∼20 phr이였으며, autoclave 공정압력이 증가할수록 높은 LOI 값을 보였다.

In this thesis, a series of loading tests are conducted in order to investigate the fracture safety as structural materials of GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics) which we wifely used in the developed countries becauses of their natural of anticorrosion and lightweight etc.. In the fracture test, the mid-span displacement, the strain and the yield load of the GFRP pipes are measured for different number of laminates, and fracture energy is estimated. From this study, it is known that GFRP pipe could be used as structural materials in underground buried pipes if their ductility and strength are increased by controlling number of laminates. Furthermore, because of their merit of lightweight, they can contribute greatly to reduction of construe-tlon cost when they are employed.

In this thesis, a series of loading tests are conducted in order to investigate the fracture safety of GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics) pipes under fatigue load which are widely used in the developed countries becauses of their natural of anticorrosion and lightweight etc. . Fatigue test is performed by changing number of laminates and loading cycles to examine the flexural strains, the ductility and the fatigue strength for two million repeated loading cycles. From the fatigue test results, it was found that the larger the laminates of GFRP pipes is, the larger the stiffness of GFRP pipes under the fatigue load increases. This phenomenon is true until the fatigue failure. According to the S-N curve drawn by the regression analysis on the fatigue test results, the fatigue strength of percent of the static ultimate strength increases by increasing the laminates of GFRP pipes. The fatigue strength with two million repeated leading cycles in GFRP pipes with the laminates of GFRP pipes varing 15, 25, 35 shows about 75%, 80%, 84% on the static ultimate strength, respectively.

대부분의 플라스틱 제품은 사출성형을 통해 생산된다. 사출성형에서 성형수축은 피할 수 없으며 이는 제품에 휨이나 뒤틀림을 유발하여 제품의 치수정밀도를 떨어뜨리는 요인으로 작용한다. 사출성형 시 발생하는 휨이나 뒤틀림은 성형조건이나 제품의 형상에도 영향을 받지만 수지의 물성에 따라서도 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 제품의 휨을 제어하기 위해 폴리카보네이트를 유리섬유로 보강하여 물성을 예측하였으며, 이를 이용하여 사출성형해석을 실시하였다. 사출성형해석을 통해 유리섬유로 보강된 수지에서 제품의 휨이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구방법의 타당성과 신뢰성을 검증하기 위하여 사출실험을 실시하여 수지의 물성에 따른 휨 값을 분석하였으며 해석과 실험에서 유사한 경향의 휨이 발생하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 수행한 바와 같이 해석 프로그램을 통해 수지의 물성을 설계하고 이를 통한 휨의 제어가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Dielectric loss tangent and ac dielectric strength of GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics, G-10)was investigated as parameters of mechanical and thermal stresses, in order to study the basic dielectrical characteristics of composite insulating materials. The dielectric loss tangent was increased and the ac dielectric strength was decreased with increase in the mechanical stresses beyond the mechanical yield point on account of fiber-matrix debonding, but the dielectric constant was not varied sigificantly. the dielectric strength of G-10 was about 2 MV/cm and the dielectric constant was about 4.8.

This paper is a study on the effect of the cutting speed on the tool wear in turning of the glass fiber reinforced plastics. The wear behavior of cutting tool is studied by means of turning, changing the cutting speed and feed in the wide range. Moreover, the theoretical model applicable to the cutting speed of wide range is analysed. The main results obtained are as follows: The relation between the tool wear and the cutting speed is divided into three range in case of the constant cutting distance. 1) At the low cutting speed, the tool wear is independent of the cutting speed, but dependent mainly on the contact length between tool and glass fiber(lst range). 2) At the high cutting speed, the tool wear is independent of the contact length, and dependent on the cutting speed only(2nd range). The tool wear increases in proportion to the cutting speed. 3) At the higher cutting speed than the speed in the 2nd range, the tool wear is independent both of the cutting speed and the contact length(3rd range). 4) In the 3rd range, tool flank wear is constant and is observed that only the wear of cutting edge increases.
