This article describes a simple and cost effective fabrication procedure by using hand lay-up technique that is employed for the manufacturing of thin-walled axi-symmetric composite shell structures with carbon, glass and hybrid woven fabric composite materials. The hand lay-up technique is very commonly used in aerospace and marine industries for making the complicated shell structures. A generic fabrication procedure is presented in this paper aimed at manufacture of plain Carbon Fabric Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and Glass Fabric Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) shells using hand lay-up process. This paper delivers a technical breakthrough in fabrication of composite shell structures without any joints and wrinkling. The manufacture of stiffened CFRP shells, laminated CFRP shells and hybrid (carbon/glass/epoxy) composite shells which are valued by the aerospace industry for their high strength-to-weight ratio under axial loading have also been addressed in this paper. A fabrication process document which describes the major processing steps of the composite shell manufacturing process has been presented in this paper. A study of microstructure of the glass fabric/epoxy composite, carbon fabric/epoxy composite and hybrid carbon/glass/fabric epoxy composites using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) has been also carried out in this paper.

In this study, to prevent the nonhomogeneity of fiber orientation during the molding of GFRP composites, GFRP prepreg was fabricated using roving fiber and polypropylene resin. Analyses on the degree of impregnation, tensile strength, and microstructure were conducted on the fabricated prepregs. A lower pulling speed, higher resin temperature, and longer die length showed a greater degree of impregnation of the prepreg. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrograph showed, a homogeneous fiber orientation. As a result, fundamental techniques for improved productivity were suggested for the manufacturing field.

회전원판은 전통적인 산업기기 뿐만 아니라 최근에 정보저장기기에 많이 사용되고 있다. 특히 빠른 정보전달 속도를 위해서는 회전정보기기의 회전수를 증가시키는 것이 필수적이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 CD에 복합재료를 적용하여 강도해석을 수행하였다. 회전하는 극직교 이방성 원판의 응력분포의 계산을 위해 변위에 대한 미분방정식을 유도하였다. 기존 제품인 폴리카보네이트 CD 뿐만 아니라 전형적인 유리섬유 복합재료와 탄소섬유 복합재료를 선정하여 응력분포를 계산하였으며 인강강도를 구속조건으로 하는 최대 허용회전수를 구하였다. 해석결과 탄소섬유 복합재료 원판의 경우 최대 허용 회전속도가 증가하지만 유리섬유 복합재료 원판의 경우에는 그렇지 않음을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 복합소재인 GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester)의 2차원 절삭공정에서 절삭 메커니즘과 소재의 신뢰도 및 안전성과 밀접한 관련이 있는 표면정도를 중심으로 한 공정의 특성화를 시도하고, 주파수 분석에 관하여도 논의한다. 구체적으로는, 공정중 발생하는 절삭력 신호를 AR(Autoregressive) 모델링하여 해석에 사용한다. 특히, 특징추출과정을 통해 AR계수로 이루어진 패턴벡터 중 다양한 절삭 메카니즘에 민감한 계수만 선택할 수 있다. 이들 계수와 절삭 메커니즘과의 실험적 관계를 설정함으로써 섬유경사각(Fiber orientation angle), 절삭 변수 그리고 공구형상이 절삭 메커니즘에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다.

Fourier transform has been one of the most common tools to study the frequency characteristics of signals. With the Fourier transform alone, it is difficult to tell whether signal's frequency contents evolve in time or not. Except for a few special cases, the frequency contents of most signals encountered in the real world change with time. Time-frequency methods are developed recently to overcome the drawbacks of Fourier transform, which can represent the information of signals in time and frequency at the same time. In this study, heat damage process of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced plastic(GFRP) under monotonic tensile loading was characterized by acoustic emission. Different kinds of specimens were used to determine the characteristics of Strength and AE signals. Time-frequency analysis methods were employed for the analysis of fracture mechanism in CFRP such as matrix cracking, debonding and fiber fracture.

본 연구에서는 낙추충격 시험시스템을 제작하여 낙추의 응력파 전파 현상을 고려한 CFRP적층판의 충격흡수특성 및 충격강도를 평가하였으며, 초음파 C-스캔너를 이용하여 내부손상영역을 관찰하여 시험편의 손상면적과 흡수에너지의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 적층배향이 다른 직교이방성 시험편이 의사등방성 시험편의 충격에너지와 흡수에너지 수준을 보면 의사등방성 시험편이 흡수에너지가 높게 나타났지만, 충격에너지와 박리면적의 크기는 별 차이가 나타나지 않았으며 계면수가 많은 시험편이 충격에너지를 많이 흡수하였다. 적층수 및 적층방향이 동일한 경우, GFRP 프리프레그를 삽입한 시험편이 그렇지 않은 시험편보다 흡수에너지가 높게 나타났다.

A study of vehicle weight lightening has been progressed to reduce the fuel consumption. In this paper, the body floor in an EV (Electric Vehicle) bus has been applied by composites as CFRP and GFRP. In order to analyse a various reliability and safety, an experiment and FEM analysis was carried out to obtain weight lightening. Especially, the joint. An effective design is obtained through an experiment as well as FEM analysis. Results of stress analysis of GFRP material showed twice as much displacement than those of CFRP material. Among three kinds of joint methods, the bond joint method is occurred to a substantial shape change in the body and floor. It is found that the rivet joints are fairly suitable for stress sustaining capability.

A circular saw is an effective tool for cutting glass and carbon-fiber hybrid composites. This study investigated tool wear and cut quality when reusing saw blades. The carbide saws wear four times faster than the new ones, and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is very resistant to tool wear, except at the end of its lifespan. The cut cross-section quality is affected by the blade type, tool wear, and spindle speed. Alternate top bevel (ATB)-type blades are suitable for cutting fiber-reinforced plastics, but triple-chip grind (TCG)-type blades are unsuitable because they cause fiber-pullout defects. Tool wear and low spindle speeds increase the occurrence of arc scratches, due to the rear saw blade. A microscopic examination showed that the burr, which is a mixture of fiber chips and epoxy matrix, was bonded on top, and glass-fiber delamination occurred on the bottom glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) surface.

Recently many efforts and researches have been done to cope with industrial facilities that require a low energy machines due to the gradual depletion of the natural resources. The fiber-reinforced composite materials in general have good properties and have the proper mechanical properties according to the change of the ply sequences and fiber distribution types. However, in the fiber-reinforced composite material, there are several problems, including fiber breaking, peeling, layer lamination, fiber cracking that can not be seen from the metallic material. Particularly, the fracture and delamination are likely to be affected by the thickness of the stacking laminates when the bi-material laminated structure is subjected to a load of the mixed mode. In this study, we investigated the effect of the thickness ratio of the difference in the CFRP/GFRP bi-material laminate composites by measuring the cracking behavior and the AE characteristics in a mixed mode loading, which may be generated in the actual structure. The results show that the thickness of the CFRP becomes more thick, the mode I energy release rate becomes a larger, and also the influence of mode I is greater than that of mode II. In addition, AE amplitude which shows the level of the damage in the structure was obtained the more damage in the CFRP with the thin thickness.

In this paper, the mechanical property of CFRP, BFRP, GFRP and their hybrid FRP was experimentally studied. The elastic modulus and tensile strength of CFRP, BFRP, GFRP and their hybrid FRP were tested. The experimental results showed that the elastic modulus of hybrid FRP agreed well with the theoretical rule of mixture, which means the property of hybrid composites are linear with the volumes of the corresponding components while the tensile strength did not. The bearing capacity, peak strain, stress-strain relationship of circular concrete columns confined by CFRP, BFRP, GFRP and hybrid FRP subjected to axial compression were recorded. And the confinement effect of hybrid FRP on concrete columns was analyzed. The test results showed that the bearing capacity and ductility of concrete columns were efficiently improved through hybrid FRP confinement. A strength model and a stress-strain relationship model of hybrid FRP confined concrete columns were proposed. The proposed stress-strain model was shown to be capable of providing accurate prediction of the axial compressive strength of hybrid FRP confined concrete compared with Teng et al. (2002) model, Karbhari and Gao (1997) model and Miyachi et al. (1999) model. The modified stress-strain model was also suitable for single FRP confinement cases and it was so concise in form and didn't have piecewise fitting, which would be easy for use in structural design.
