The reinforcing effect of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber were investigated. The tensile fracture images of the composite fibers demonstrate that SWNTs are well dispersed in PAN matrix as bundles (ropes) ca. 20nm in thickness. It was found that SWNTs play a role not only to reinforce but also to toughen the PAN fiber by increasing breaking strain as well as modulus and strength of the fiebrs. The composite fibers exhibited improved dimensional stability at elevated temperature compared to the neat PAN fiber.

This study was performed to use fiber mixed soil which has clayey soil or sandy soil with fibrillated fiber or monofilament fiber on purpose of construction materials, filling materials, and back filling materials. In addition, this study was conducted to analyze strength properties and fiber reinforcing effect with fiber mixed soil by direct-shear test. In case of fibrillated fiber mixed soil, the more quantity of fiber was in both cohesive soil and sandy soil, the larger shear stress was in respective step of normal load. The respective mixed soil at 0.5% and 0.1% mixing ratio of monofilament fiber mixed soil showed maximum shear stress. According to unconfined compression or direct-shear test, making specimen of the monofilament fiber mixed soil, it is required to be careful and stable mixing method, while it is expected that monofilament fiber mixed soil doesn't increase strength.

The first diagonal cracking and ultimate shear load of reinforced girder made of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) were investigated in this paper. Eleven girders were tested in which eight girders failed in shear. A simplified formulation for the first diagonal cracking load was proposed. An analytical model to predict the ultimate shear load was formulated based on the two bounds theory. A fiber reinforcing parameter was constituted based on the random assumption of steel fiber uniform distribution. The predicted values were compared with the conventional predictions and the test results. The proposed equation can be used for the first cracking status analysis, while the proposed equations for computing the ultimate shear strength can be used for the ultimate failure status analysis, which can also be utilized for numerical limit analysis of reinforced UHPFRC girder. The established fiber reinforcing theoretical model can also be a reference for micro-mechanics analysis of UHPFRC.

During the past decades, development of reinforcing materials caused a revolution in the structure of high strength and high performance cement-based concrete. Among the most important and exciting reinforcing materials, Steel Fiber (SF) becomes a widely used in the recent years. The main reason for addition of SF is to enhance the toughness and tensile strength and limit development and propagation of cracks and deformation characteristics of the SF blended concrete. Basically this technique of strengthening the concrete structures considerably modifies the physical and mechanical properties of plain cement-based concrete which is brittle in nature with low flexural and tensile strength compared to its intrinsic compressive strength. This paper presents an overview of the work carried out on the use of SF as reinforcement in cement-based concrete matrix. Reported properties in this study are fresh properties, mechanical and durability of the blended concretes.

The solution of two-dimensional deflection of circular wavy reinforcing fiber elastics was obtained for one end clamped boundary under concentrated load condition. The fiber was regarded as a linear elastic material. Wavy shape was described as a combination of half-circular arc smoothly connected each other with constant curvature of all the same magnitude and alternative sign. Also load direction was taken into account. As a result, the solution was expressed in terms of a series of elliptic integrals. These elliptic integrals had two different transformed parameters involved with load value and initial radius of curvature. While we found the exact solutions and expressed them in terms of elliptic integrals, the recursive ignition formulae about the displacement and arc length at each segment of circular section were obtained. Algorithm of determining unknown parameters was established and the profile curve of deflected beam was shown in comparison with initial shape.

It is important to study the shielding effectiveness(SE) of reinforcing material of plastic composite materials against the electromagnetic(EM) waves. In this paper, SE of the shielding material of EM waves was investigated with actual experiments. The materials used in this study were made up of film, fiber and powder of conductive materials - Cu, Al, CF etc. Also, The resin film was used as matrix. The experiment was carried out by using a shielding evaluator(Shielding box) TR17302 with an ADVANTEST spectrum analyzer, model R3361C. It was found from the experimental results that copper, aluminum and carbon fiber were good candidates as a shielding material against the EM waves with increasing the SE as the composite was laminated. The characteristics of the SE against the EM waves depended on a mode of preparation of specimen. The effects of interval of wires on the SE were studied when the orientation and the space of Cu wires were changed. The SE strongly depended on the. orientation and the space of the Cu wire. SE decreased as the space of the Cu wires was increasing.

섬유체적비에 따라 복합재료의 기계적 열적 특성이 크게 달라지기 때문에, 복합재료 설계시 섬유체적비를 올바르게 측정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 일반적으로 섬유체적비를 측정하는 여러 방법은 산화되지 않는 유리섬유나 세라믹섬유를 사용한 복합재료의 경우에는 적합하고 효율적이다. 하지만 산화현상이 있는 탄소섬유의 경우에는 산화 방법과 조건에 따라서 다른 결과를 가져오게 되며 그러므로 올바른 섬유체적비를 측정이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 Thermogravimetric analysis를 수행하여 산화되는 탄소섬유의 질량 감소량을 보정하여 탄소섬유 복합재료의 섬유체적비를 측정하였고 현미경 단면 이미지를 이용하여 그 결과를 검증하였다.

Environmentally friendly biocomposites were made using plant-based natural fibers, such as henequen and kenaf. The natural fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) and unsaturated polyester (UP) biocomposites were examined in terms of the reinforcing effect of natural fibers on thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Kenaf (KE) and henequen (HQ) fibers were treated with an electron beam (EB) of 10 and 200 kGy doses, respectively, or with a 5 wt% NaOH solution. Four types of biocomposites (KE/PP, HQ/PP, KE/UP and HQ/UP) were fabricated by compression molding and each biocomposite was characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. The kenaf fiber had the larger reinforcing effect on the dynamic mechanical properties of both PP and UP biocomposites than the henequen fiber. The highest storage modulus was obtained from the biocomposite with the combination of UP matrix and 200 kGy EB treated kenaf fibers.

초연약 고소성의 준설해성점토를 보강하기 위하여 Micro-Fiber(MF)재를 혼합하여 다양한 실내시험을 수행하였다. 준설점토의 함수비를 3종으로 조정하고 각각의 시료에 MF를 길이와 혼합율을 변화시키면서 일축압축 및 삼축압축 시험을 통하여 보강특성을 검토하였다. 또한, 양생일수벽로 강도증가 경향을 평가하였으며, 폐석회(Waste Lime, WL)의 추가혼합이 보강기능을 증대시키는지 여부를 검토하였다. 실험결과, MF를 혼합함에 따라 준설점토의 강도가 자연함수비에 무관하게 약 50% 증가하였으며, MF의 길이가 길수록 보강효과가 크게 나타났다. 또한, 합리적인 MF의 혼합율은 2% 정도이며, 추가적으로 폐석회를 약 10% 혼합할 경우 중장비주행이 가능한 보강효과가 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

Carbon composites were prepared with pitch-based round, C, hollow-type carbon fibers and pitch matrix. The thermal conductivities parallel and perpendicular to the fiber axis were measured by steady-state method. It was found that the thermal conductivities depended on the cross-sectional forms of the reinforcing fibers as well as the reinforcing orientation and carbon fiber precusors. Especially, mesophase pitch-based hollow carbon fiber-carbon composites had the most excellent thermal anisotropy, which was above 100.
