In global competition manufacturing companies have to produce modern, new constructions from advanced materials in order to increase competitiveness. The aim of my research was to develop a new composite cellular plate structure, which can be primarily used for structural elements of road, rail, water and air transport vehicles (e.g. vehicle bodies, ship floors). The new structure is novel and innovative, because all materials of the components of the newly developed structure are composites (laminated Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) deck plates with pultruded Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) stiffeners), furthermore combines the characteristics of sandwich and cellular plate structures. The material of the structure is much more advantageous than traditional steel materials, due mainly to its low density, resulting in weight savings, causing lower fuel consumption and less environmental damage. In the study the optimal construction of a given geometry of a structural element of a road truck trailer body was defined by single- and multi-objective optimization (minimal cost and weight). During the single-objective optimization the Flexible Tolerance Optimization method, while during the multi-objective optimization the Particle Swarm Optimization method were used. Seven design constraints were considered: maximum deflection of the structure, buckling of the composite plates, buckling of the stiffeners, stress in the composite plates, stress in the stiffeners, eigenfrequency of the structure, size constraint for design variables. It was confirmed that the developed structure can be used principally as structural elements of transport vehicles and unit load devices (containers) and can be applied also in building construction.

본 연구에서는 입자크기가 서로 다른 할로이사이트 나노튜브(Halloysite nanotube, HNT)와 밀드 카본(Milled carbon, MC) 강화 복합재료를 사용하여 손상된 복합재료 적층판을 계단형 패치 보수법에 따라 수리하고, 손상된 면과 수리면 사이의 접합 계면에 입자가 미치는 기계적, 구조적 영향을 분석하였다. 이 때, 고온고습의 가혹한 수분 환경에 장시간 노출시켜 손상된 판을 형성하는 기존 재료와의 상대적인 재료 물성 회복률을 비교하였으며 기계적 물성 시험을 통해 성능평가를 실시하였다. 그 결과 $70^{\circ}C$ 고온 증류수에서 HNT는 입자 첨가량에 따라 흡습률이 MC에 비해 뚜렷한 차이를 보였으며 인장강도와 굽힘강도의 경우, 대체적으로 HNT로 강화된 복합재를 사용하여 보수한 시험편이 흡습 전과 후 모두 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 특히, 0.5, 1 wt. %의 HNT가 첨가되었을 때 흡습률이 가장 적었고 이는 기계적 강도 증가에 관여하는 하나의 요인으로 작용하였다. 반면 MC는 소량만으로도 높은 흡습 저항성을 나타냈으며 하중의 방향에 따라 강도의 차이가 발생했다.

본 연구에서는 Lagrangian 방정식을 이용해 알루미늄, CFRP, GFRP, BFRP 등으 로 혼합적층된 cross-ply 사각판에 대해 굽힘-신장연성을 고려하여 Runge-Kutta Gill 법을 적용하여 수치적으로 비선형진동해석을 수행하였다.그리고 여러가지 적층방법 에 따라 비선형 진동에 어떠한 영향이 미치는가를 검토하였으며, 형상비(a/b), 모우드 의 변화 그리고 탄성계수비에 따른 비선형진동 거동을 규명하였다. 한편, 기본진동 수에 대해서는 상용 유한요소프로그램인 ABAQUS의 결과와 비교하였으며, 단일 적층된 판의 비선형진동거동에 대해서는 Singh의 결과와 비교 검토하였다.

One of the principal problems encountered in the use of fiber reinforced composites is to establish an active fiber surface to achieve maximum adhesion between resin and fiber surface. In order to improve the interface bonding, the surface of glass fiber should be treated with silane coupling agent in ordinary composite manufacturing processes. However, the price of the coupling agent is very high and in the treating process voids are formed, which decreasees electrical and mechanical strength. We want to develope new process that will overcome the disadvantage of the coupling agent and achieve maximum adhesion at the interface between resin and fiber by active plasma treatment on the glass fiber surface. In this study, we investigate the improvement of contact angle on the glass plate surface as the first step in developing new GFRP.

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) materials are increasingly being used for strengthening and repair of steel structures. An issue that concerns engineers in steel members which are retrofitted with FRP is stress experienced due to temperature changes. The changing temperature affects the interface bond between the FRP and Steel. This research focused on the effects of cyclical thermal loadings on the interface properties of FRP bounded to steel members. Over fifty tests were conducted to investigate the thermal effects on bonding between FRP and steel, which were cycled from temperature of $-11^{\circ}C$ ($12^{\circ}F$) to $60^{\circ}C$ ($140^{\circ}F$) for 21-36 days. This investigation consisted of two test protocols, 1) the tensile test of epoxy resin, tack coat, FRP and FRP-steel plate, 2) tensile test of each FRP compound and FRP with steel after going through thermal cyclic loading. This investigation reveals an extensive reduction in the composite's strength.

The free vibration analyses of the isotropic and composite(CFRP, GFRP) rectangular plates with point supports at the free edge and middle position are performed. The natural frequencies and nodal patterns of plates with point supports are experimentally determined by impact testing using an impact hammer. To compare and verify these experimental results, the finite element analysis is also carried out. The effect of the point support position, the number of point supports, and the anisotropic parameters on the natural frequencies and nodal patterns of cantilevered rectangular plates are investigated.

The structural behavior of reinforced concrete slabs strengthened by glass fiber reinforced plastic-panels experimentally investigated. The experimental variables are strengthening length, strengthening width, and pre-crack existence. The pre-cracked slabs are initially loaded to 70 percent of ultimate flexural capacity and subsequently repaired with GFRP-Panels bonded to the tension face of the slabs. Five one-way slabs were tested to failure. The main failure mode of strengthened slabs is separation failure by crack propagation from load point section to end of plate. The behavior of strengthened slabs is represented by a maximum load, load-deflection curves an load-strain curves.

복합재는 재료 불균질성에 의해 고속 충돌 시 방호성능 자료가 산포한다. 본 연구에서는 다수의 충돌시험으로 복합판재 잔류속도 산포를 확보하고 수치해석으로 예측하는 방법을 정립하였다. 먼저 10개의 동일 시편으로 인장시험을 수행하여 파단변형률 산포를 얻었다. 같은 재료로 제작된 4ply([0/90]s)와 8ply([0/90/0/90]s) GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 복합판재에 FSP(Fragment Simulating Projectile) 고속 충돌시험을 동일 조건에서 다수 수행하여 잔류속도 산포를 얻었다. 인장시험에서 얻어진 파단 변형률 분포를 이용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 충돌속도는 4ply와 8ply 각각 411.7m/s와 592.5m/s이다. 시험 결과와 비교하여 적절한 잔류속도의 산포를 예측할 수 있었다. 추가적으로 복합판재의 경우 Solid요소 대비 Layered Solid요소로 모델링하면 계산시간이 감소되었다.

This research work aims to develop an optimal design using Finite Element (FE) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) methods to replace the traditional concrete and timber material by a Synthetic Polyurethane fibre glass composite material in railway sleepers. The conventional timber railway sleeper technology is associated with several technical problems related to its durability and ability to resist cutting and abrading action of the bearing plate. The use of pre-stress concrete sleeper in railway industry has many disadvantages related to the concrete material behaviour to resist dynamic stress that may lead to a significant mechanical damage with feasible fissures and cracks. Scientific researchers have recently developed a new composite material such as Glass Fibre Reinforced Polyurethane (GFRP) foam to replace the conventional one. The mechanical properties of these materials are reliable enough to help solving structural problems such as durability, light weight, long life span (50-60 years), less water absorption, provide electric insulation, excellent resistance of fatigue and ability to recycle. This paper suggests appropriate sleeper design to reduce the volume of the material. The design optimization shows that the sleeper length is more sensitive to the loading type than the other parameters.

A 1 MV A single phase high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer was manufactured and tested. The rated voltages of primary and secondary of the HTS transformer are 22.9 kV and 6.6 kV respectively. BSCCO-2223 HTS tape was used for HTS windings of 1 MV A HTS transformer. In order to reduce AC loss generated in the HTS winding, the type of concentric arrangement winding was adopted to a 1 MV A HTS transformer. Single HTS tape for primary windings and 4 parallel HTS tapes for secondary windings were used considering the each rated current of the HTS transformer. A core of HTS transformer was fabricated as a shell type core made of laminated silicon steel plate. And a GFRP cryostat with a room temperature bore was also manufactured. The characteristic tests of 1 MV A HTS transformer were performed such as no load test, short circuit test and several insulation tests at 65 K using sub-cooled liquid nitrogen. From the results of tests, the validity of design of HTS transformer was ascertained.
