Since the electromagnetic properties of fiber reinforced polymeric composites can be tailored effectively by adding small amount of electromagnetic powders to the matrix of composites, they are plausible materials for fabricating the radar absorbing structures (RAS) of desired performance. In order to design the effective electromagnetic wave (EM) absorber with the fiber reinforced polymeric composites, the electromagnetic characteristics with respect to the constituents of the composite should be available in the target frequency band. In order to describe the dielectric behavior of low loss unidirectional fiber reinforced composite, theoretical models and mixture equations for estimating its dielectric constant were proposed with respect to the fiber, matrix volume fractions and fiber orientations, and verified by the experiments. From the investigation, it was found that the suggested binary mixture rules agreed well with the experimental results.

Polymer matrix composites are widely used in many engineering applications as they can be customized to meet a desired performance while not only maintaining low cost but also reducing weight. Polymers can experience viscoelastic-viscoplastic response when subjected to external loadings. Various reinforcements and fillers are added to polymers which bring out more complexity in analyzing the timedependent response. This study formulates an integrated micromechanical model and finite element (FE) analysis for predicting effective viscoelastic-viscoplastic response of polymer based hybrid composites. The studied hybrid system consists of unidirectional short-fiber reinforcements and a matrix system which is composed of solid spherical particle fillers dispersed in a homogeneous polymer constituent. The goal is to predict effective performance of hybrid systems having different compositions and properties of the fiber, particle, and matrix constituents. A combined Schapery's viscoelastic integral model and Valanis's endochronic viscoplastic model is used for the polymer constituent. The particle and fiber constituents are assumed linear elastic. A previously developed micromechanical model of particle reinforced composite is first used to obtain effective mechanical properties of the matrix systems. The effective properties of the matrix are then integrated to a unit-cell model of short-fiber reinforced composites, which is generated using the FE. The effective properties of the matrix are implemented using a user material subroutine in the FE framework. Limited experimental data and analytical solutions available in the literatures are used for comparisons.

Zr-based amorphous alloy matrix composites reinforced with metallic continuous fibers were fabricated by liquid pressing process, and their fracture properties were investigated by directly observing microfracture process using an in situ loading stage installed inside a scanning electron microscope chamber. About 60 vol.% of metallic fibers were homogeneously distributed inside the amorphous matrix. Apparent fracture toughness of the stainless-steel- and tungsten-fiber-reinforced composites was lower than that of monolithic amorphous alloy, while that of the Ta-fiber-reinforced composite was higher. According to the microfracture observation, shear bands or cracks were initiated at the amorphous matrix, and the propagation of the initiated shear bands or cracks was effectively blocked by fibers, thereby resulting in stable crack growth which could be confirmed by the fracture resistance curve (R-curve) behavior. This increase in fracture resistance with increasing crack length improved fracture properties of the fiber-reinforced composites, and could be explained by mechanisms of formation of multiple shear bands or multiple cracks at the amorphous matrix and blocking of crack or shear band propagation and multiple necking at metallic fibers.

It is generally observed that steel fiber reinforced concrete with traditional straight steel fibers overcomes brittle nature of plain concrete by failure mechanisms by fiber pull-out rather than fiber rupture resulting from fiber yielding or concrete fracture at failured surface. Ring type steel fibers in concrete which is confined in concrete matrix and has better orientation, thus, lead to fiber yielding and concrete fracture as well as increase of flexural behavior of concrete more efficiently, Comparative experimental study is performed in order to measure the relative efficiencies of steel fiber reinforced concrete reinforced with two different fibers. It is found that better toughness is obtained from the ring type steel fiber reinforced concrete than from straight steel fiber reinforced concrete under flexural loading.

다양한 조건 하에서 최상의 관통 특성을 발휘하기 위한 최적 조건에 대해 연구하였다. 섬유 종횡비(AR: 섬유 길이/섬유 직경), 계면 조건 그리고 섬유 함유량을 관통 저항력과 마찰력에 지대한 영향을 미치는 변수들로 고려하였다. 단섬유 강화고무의 관통 저항력은 기지에 비해 최대 3.4배 증가하였다. 동일한 섬유 종횡비와 섬유 함유량에서 계면 조건이 우수할수록 더 높은 관통 저항력을 보였다. 기지와 섬유 종횡비가 155이하인 일부 단섬유 강화고무의 마찰력은 존재치 않았다. 우수한 계면과 높은 섬유 종횡비를 갖는 단섬유 강화고무의 마찰력은 기지의 관통 저항력보다도 더 높았다. 전체적으로 계면 조건과 섬유 종횡비 그리고 섬유 함유량이 단섬유 강화고무의 관통 특성에 지대한 영향이 미침을 확인하였다.

The dynamic properties of short-fiber reinforced Chloroprene rubber for vibration isolators have been studied as functions of interphase conditions and fiber content. The loss factor showed the maximum at strain amplitude 2%, and increased 0.09 for matrix, 0.05 for reinforced rubber with increasing frequency respectively. The dynamic ratio rapidly decreased with increasing strain amplitude, and some increased with increasing frequency. The better interphase condition showed the lower dynamic ratio. Therefore, the short-fiber reinforced rubber could have the better isolation in frequency ratio(${\sqrt{2}}min$.) compared to frequency ratio(${\sqrt{2}}max$.). And we have investigate the possibility of applying short-fiber reinforced rubber to automotive engine mount.

Recently, large efforts have been made to develop and understand the behavior of Fiber Reinforced Concrete. As in the static loading cases, many researches have been done. However, a few studies have been conducted in cyclic behaviors of FRC. The main objective of the present work is to investigate the cyclic behavior of fiber reinforced concrete with theoretical method. First, cyclic constitutive relations which describe the crack bridging stress considering non-uniform interfacial bond degradation in short randomly oriented fiber reinforced matrix composites under uniaxial cyclic tension were considered. A cyclic degradation model of single fiber based on micromechanics also taken into consideration. As an example, fatigue analysis for ECC with PVA fiber was conducted using proposed equations. Results shows that proposed method can establish a basis for analyzing cyclic behavior of fiber reinforced composites.

In this study, the effect of molding condition on the tensile properties for plain woven hemp fiber reinforced green composite was examined. The tensile properties of the composite were compared with those of the plain woven jute fiber composite fabricated by the same process. Emulsion type biodegradable resin or polypropylene sheet was used as matrix. The composites were processed by the compression molding where the molding temperature and its heating time were changed from 160 to $190^{\circ}C$ and from 15 to 25 min, respectively. The following results were obtained from the experiment. The tensile property of hemp fiber reinforced polypropylene is improved in comparison with polypropylene bulk. The strength of composite is about 2.6 times that of the resin bulk specimen. Hemp fiber is more effective than jute fiber as reinforcement for green composite from the viewpoint of strength. The molding temperature and time are suitable below $180^{\circ}C$ and 20 min for hemp fiber reinforced green composite. Hemp fiber green composite has a tendency to decrease its tensile strength when fiber content is over 50 wt%.

An analytical model has been developed to predict the elastic properties of a filled resin reinforced by chopped fibers, a three-phase composite such as a filled sheet molding compound(SMC). In the model the matrix material and fillers form an effective matrix. The effective matrix is then considered to be reinforced with long fibers lying in the sheet plane but randomly oriented in the plane. Expressions for the resulting transversely isotropic composite properties are explicitly presented. Using this model, the Young's and shear moduli are calculated for the SMC sample with filler weight fraction of 35% and fiber content of 30%. The same properties are also determined experimentally. The agreement between the calculated and measured elastic moduli is found to be very good for the in-plane properties. However, the out-of-plane properties show a large difference because the effect of voids is not taken into account in the model.
