Delamination crack detection is very important for improving the structural reliability of laminated composite structures. This requires real-time delamination detection technologies. For composite laminates that are reinforced with carbon fiber, an electrical potential method uses carbon fiber for reinforcements and sensors at the same time. The use of carbon fiber for sensors does not need to consider the strength reduction of smart structures induced by imbedding sensors into the structures. With carbon fiber reinforced (CF/) epoxy matrix composites, it had been proved that the delamination crack was detected experimentally. In the present study, therefore, similar experiments were conducted to prove the applicability of the method for delamination crack detection of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composite laminates. Mode I and mode II delamination tests with artificial cracks were conducted, and three point bending tests without artificial cracks were conducted. This study experimentally proves the applicability of the method for detection of delamination cracks. CF/polyetherethereketone material has strong electric resistance anisotropy. For CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites, a carbon fiber network is constructed, and the network is broken by propagation of delamination cracks. This causes a change in the electric resistance of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites. Using three point bending specimens, delamination cracks generated without artificial initial cracks is proved to be detectable using the electric potential method: This method successfully detected delamination cracks.

유리섬유로 강화된 폴리프로필렌 복합재료를 이축압출장치를 이용하여 제조하였으며 폴리프로필렌 수지와 유리섬유간의 결합성을 증대시키고 가공성을 향상시킬 목적으로 말레익 안하이드라이드(maleic anhydride) 결합기를 가지는 상용화제를 첨가하였다. 제조된 폴리프로필렌/유리섬유 복합재료에 대한 전단유동과 신장유동의 특성을 조사하였으며, 특히 상용화제 첨가와 유리섬유의 함량에 대한 영향을 주로 평가하였다. 전단유동에서 상용화제는 폴리프로필렌과 유리섬유간의 결합력을 증대시키고, 흐름성을 개선시키는 역할을 하였으며, 신장유동에서는 유리섬유의 함량이 증가됨에 따라서 신장점도를 더욱 증가시켜주는 역할을 하였다. 그러나 신장속도가 증가함에 따라서 유리섬유 사이에서 형성되는 미세한 전단유동의 영향으로 오히려 신장점도는 감소하였다.

자가응력 및 자가손상 감지능력을 모두 가지는 스마트 콘크리트의 개발은 아직까지 손상 감지 능력에 대한 원인 규명이 명확하지 않아 어려운 현실이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 매트릭스 강도, 섬유 형식 및 보강량이 강섬유 보강 시멘트 복합재료의 인발시 전기저항에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험으로부터 섬유와 매트릭스 사이 계면에서의 탈착으로 전기저항률이 감소한다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 섬유와 매트릭스 사이 계면 부착강도가 높을수록 더 큰 전기저항률의 감소를 유발하였다. 따라서, 고강도 매트릭스, 황동 도금된 강섬유 그리고 변형된 강섬유를 사용시 높은 계면부착강도를 유발하고 그 결과 더 큰 전기저항률 감소를 유발하였다.

Basalt fiber is an eco-friendly fiber and comparatively newer to the world of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. A limited number of studies have been reported in the literature on the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP). The present experimental work explores the feasibility of using the BFRP strips for shear strengthening of the RC beams. The strengthening schemes include full wrap and U-wrap. A simple mechanical anchorage scheme has been introduced to prevent the debonding of U-wrap as well as to utilize the full capacity of the BFRP composite. The effect of varying shear span-to-effective depth (a/d) ratio on the behavior of shear deficient RC beams strengthened with BFRP strips under different schemes is examined. The RC beams were tested under a four-point loading system. The study finds that the beams strengthened with and without BFRP strips fails in shear for a/d ratio 2.5 and the enhancement of the shear capacity of strengthened beams ranges from 5% to 20%. However, the strengthened beams fail in flexure, and the control beam fails in shear for a higher a/d ratio, i.e., 3.5. The experimental results of the present study have been compared with the analytical study and found that the latter gives conservative results.

본 연구에서는 마이크로 입자들로 구성된 매트릭스의 강섬유 보강 시멘트 복합체에서 강섬유가 압축강도에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였으며, 강섬유의 섬유혼입률과 섬유형상비에 따른 영향을 파악하고 혼입률과 형상비를 동시에 고려한 변수인 섬유보강지수(RI)에 따른 압축강도의 변화를 살펴보았다. 실험결과에 따르면 마이크로 입자로 구성된 매트릭스의 강섬유보강 복합체에서는 섬유보강지수가 증가에 따라 압축강도가 선형적으로 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 섬유보강지수와 압축강도와의 관계를 나타내는 모델식을 제안하였다.

Carbon fibers (CFs) have a unique combination of properties which allow them to be widely used as reinforcing materials in advanced polymer composites. The mechanical properties of CF-reinforced polymer composites are governed mainly by the quality of interfacial adhesion between the CFs and the polymer matrix. Surface treatments of CFs are generally carried out to introduce chemical functional groups on the fiber surfaces, which provide the ability to control the surface characteristics of CFs. In this study, we review recent experimental studies concerning various surface treatment methods for CFs. In addition, direct examples of the preparation and properties of CF-reinforced thermosetting composites are discussed.

Injection molding is the most widely used process for the industrial forming of plastic articles. During an injection molding process of composites, the fiber-matrix separation and fiber orientation are caused by the flow of molten polymer/fiber mixture. As a result, the product tends to be nonhomogeneous and anisotropic. Hence, it is very important to clarify the relations between separation·orientation and infection molding conditions. So far, there is no research on the measurement of fiber orientation using image processing. In this study, the effects of fiber content ratio and molding condition on the fiber orientation-angle distributions are studied experimentally. Using the image processing method, the fiber orientation distribution of welding parts in injection-molded products is assessed. And the effects of fiber content and injection mold shapes on the fiber orientation in case of fiber reinforced polymeric composites are studied. experimentally.

This study presents a mathematical model predicting the stress-strain behavior of fiber reinforced (FMMCs) and fiber/particle reinforced metal matrix composites (F/P MMCs). MMCs were fabricated by squeeze casting method using Al2O3 short fiber and particle as reinforcement, and A356 aluminum alloy as matrix. The fiber/particle ratios of F/P MMCs were 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 with the total reinforcement volume fraction of 20 vol.%, and the FMMCs were reinforced with 10 vol,%, 15 vol. %, 20 vol. % of fibers. Tensile tests were conducted and compared with predictions which were derived using laminate analogy theory and multi-failure model of reinforcements. Results show that the tensile strength of FMMCs with 10 vol.% of fiber was well matched with prediction, and as the fiber volume increases, predictions become larger than experimental results. The difference between the prediction and experiment is considered to be a result of matrix allowance of fiber damage in tensile loading. As the fiber volume fraction in FMMCs increases, the fiber damage increases and so that the tensile strength is reduced. The strength of F/P MMCs approaches more closely to the prediction than FMMCs reinforced with 20 vol.% of fibers because F/P MMCs contains small quantity of fibers and thus has a positive effect in fiber strengthening.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer(CFRP) composites are widely applied to strengthen deteriorated concrete structures. This paper presents the experimental results of the performance of reinforced concrete(RC) decks strengthened with CFRP composites. Simple span decks with 2m span length were tested to investigate the effect of CFRP reinforcement types on the flexural behavior of strengthened RC beams. The test results were analyzed with the special emphasis on the failure mode and the maximum load.

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.
