2개 이상의 에폭시 기지재의 배합비를 이용하여 최적의 에폭시 복합재료를 제조하였다. 이 실험에서 노볼락계 에폭시 및 아이소시아네이트계 에폭시를 기지재로 사용하였다. 그에 따라 화학적 조성의 변화를 이용하여 다양한 실험을 통한 최적의 에폭시 배합비를 유추하였고, 에폭시의 내열성 및 계면을 파악하기 위하여 열중량측정기를 이용하여 유리전이온도의 변화를 파악하였고 정적 접촉각을 측정하였다. 기계적 물성을 파악하기 위하여 에폭시 배합비에 따른 유리섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 인장, 압축, 굴곡강도를 상온에서 및 노화시간에 따라 파악하였다. 에폭시와 유리섬유간 계면을 개념도로 나타냈다. 시험 결과 에폭시 배합비에 따른 적외선 피크 및 유리전이온도 변화를 확인하였다. 서로 다른 에폭시의 배합비가 1:1일 때 기계적물성이 상대적으로 좋은 것을 확인하였다.

Polymer composites, especially glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) are finding ever-increasing applications in areas such as superconductivity, space technology, cryogenic rocket engines, and cryogenic storage vessels. Various components made of polymer composites are much lighter than their metallic counterparts but have equivalent strength for ultra-low temperature applications. In this paper, we have investigated the tensile properties of an indigenously prepared unidirectional cylindrical hollow composite tube for its use as a neck of the cryogenic vessel. XRD and SEM of the tube are completed before cryogenic conditioning to ascertain the fiber and resin distribution in the matrix. The result shows that for composites, after 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes of cryogenic conditioning at 77K in a liquid nitrogen bath, the strength and modulus increase significantly with the increase of strain rate and reach the optimum value for 45 minutes of conditioning. The results are encouraging as they will be helpful in assessing the suitability of GFRP in the structural design of epoxy-based components for cryogenic applications.

This study describes ultrasonic reflection at a water/fiber reinforced polymer composite/water interface. Theoretical predictions of reflected beam amplitudes are also presented. Four different polymer composite laminates are investigated : T300/5208 graphite/epoxy $[0]_{31T},\;[45/90/-45/0]_{3S},\;[45/-45]_{2S}$, and S-2 glass/epoxy $[0/90]_{4S}$. The analytical leaky plate wave dispersion curves for the unidirectional laminate and other three laminates can be obtained by searching for the minimum magnitude of the reflection coefficient.

본 연구에서는 CNT 첨가에 따른 유리섬유/에폭시의 강도 변화를 관찰하기 위해서 에폭시 기지 상에 CNT를 분산 시켜 유리섬유 표면에 도포하였다. 제작된 유리섬유/에폭시/CNT 복합재의 특성을 강도 측정기를 이용해 평가하고, 파괴 메커니즘을 분석하기 위해서, 원자힘현미경과 전자현미경을 활용하여 분석하였다. 원자힘현미경 이미지들을 기반으로 line trace 분석을 통해 CNT 소재의 굵기 및 길이를 분석한 결과, 대부분의 CNT는 약 10 ㎛ 이상의 길이와 평균적으로 47.72 ± 4.0 nm의 두께를 가진것으로 확인되었다. 3 wt%로 혼합한 유리섬유/에폭시/CNT 복합재의 경우 대조 시편인 유리섬유/에폭시와 비교 시, 740.17 ± 111.05 N/mm²에서 816.56 ± 200.26 N/mm²로 약 10 % 이상의 인장 강도 향상이 관측되었다. 전자 현미경을 이용한 파단면 분석 결과, 에폭시 기지 층에 분산된 CNT가 복합재의 길이 방향으로 배열되어 있음이 관찰되었으며, 유리섬유/에폭시/CNT에 하중 인가 시, 에폭시 층에서 생성된 크랙들의 성장을 에폭시 수지상에 분산된 CNT들이 넥킹 역할을 하면서, 복합재의 인장 강도 향상이 되었다고 판단된다.

To understand the tensile behaviors of GFRP at low temperature, three types of specimen have been used in this study. Tensile properties and fracture mechanisms for three orthogonal orientations of plain weave glass fabric reinforced epoxy resin laminate were investigated at temperature range of about -30 to $15^{\circ}C$. The tensile properties of axial and edge type specimen decrease slightly with decreasing temperature to $-20^{\circ}C$. However, at $-30^{\circ}C$ the decreases in the tensile properties increased considerably. Below $-20^{\circ}C$, thickness type specimen showed a marked decreases in the tensile properties. It was obvious that the fracture manner of thickness type specimen was adhesive failure at above $-10^{\circ}C$ and a mixed adhesive and cohesive failure at below $-20^{\circ}C$.

The anisotropic mechanical properties were measured for the three orthogonal orientations of plain weave glass fabric reinforced epoxy resin laminate. In tensile and flexural tests, axial and edge type specimens failed by pull-out of warp and fill yarns, respectively. In contrast, the thickness type specimens failed by adhesive failure process. Longitudinal cracking occurred in several of the edge type specimens during tensile test. That cracking caused pop-in in the stress-strain curve. Defects induced by improper coupon machining caused that cracking.

The Glass-Fiber Reinforced Epoxy-Panel(GFREP) is a composite material developed for repairing and strengthening of RC structures. The objective of this study is to verify the applicability of finite element modeling technique to analyze behaviors of RC beams strengthened by the GFREP. In this study, the basic material properties obtained by experiments on the GFREP and the reinforced concrete constitutive models were considered and the comparison between analyses and experiments of RC beam specimens strengthened by the GFREP was made. Although analysis method in this paper was reasonably good, the necessities which can consider the effect of plate-end shear and plate separation were recognized.

The fiber-reinforced composite materials have been advanced for various applications because of its excellent mechanical and electromagnetic properties. On their manufacturing processes, however, thermo-curing inherently produces the undesired thermal deformation mainly from temperature drop from the process temperature to the room temperature, so called spring-back. The spring-back must be removed to keep the precision of designed shape. In this research, the spring-back of {glass fiber / epoxy}+{carbon fiber / epoxy} unsymmetric hybrid composites were predicted using Classical Lamination Theory (CLT), and compared with the experimental data. Additionally, using finite element analysis (ANSYS), the predicted data and experimental data were compared. The predicted values by CLT and ANSYS were well matched with experimental data.

The one-way (two-way) flexural strength of RCC prisms (circular slabs) reinforced with glass fiber textiles is addressed. To this end, alkaline-resistant glass fiber textiles with three surface weights were used in the composite, the matrix concrete was designed with zero/nonzero slump, and the textiles were used with/without an intermediate layer provided by epoxy resin and sand mortar. Prisms were tested under a four-point loading apparatus and circular slabs were placed on simple supports under a central load. Effects of the amount and geometry of reinforcement, matrix workability, and the intermediate layer on the ultimate load and deflection were investigated. Results revealed that, with a specific reinforcement amount, there is an optimum textile tex for each case, depending on the matrix mix design and the presence of intermediate layer. Similar results were obtained in one-way and two-way bending tests.

This paper is concerned with design, manufacturing and performance test of LIPCA ( Lightweight Piezo- composite Curved Actuator) using a top carbon fiber composite layer with near -zero CTE(coefficient of thermal expansion), a middle PZT ceramic wafer and a bottom glass/epoxy layer with high CTE. The main point of this design is to replace the heavy metal layers of THUNDER by thigh tweight fiber reinforced plastic layers without losing capabilities to generate high force and large displacement. It is possible to save weight up to about 30% if we replace the metallic backing material by the light fiber composite layer. We can also have design flexibility by selecting the fiber direction and the size of prepreg layers. In addition to the lightweight advantage and design flexibility, the proposed device can be manufactured without adhesive layers when we use epoxy resin prepreg system. Glass/epoxy prepregs, a ceramic wafer with electrode surfaces, and a graphite/epoxy prepreg were simply stacked and cured at an elevated temperature (177 $^{circ}C$ after following an autoclave bagging process. It was found that the manufactured composite laminate device had a sufficient curvature after detached from a flat mold. The analysis method of the cure curvature of LIPCA using the classical lamination theory is presented. The predicted curvatures are fairly in agreement with the experimental ones. In order to investigate the merits of LIPCA, a performance test of both LIPCA and THUNDE$^{TM}$ were conducted under the same boundary conditions. From the experimental actuation tests, it was observed that the developed actuator could generate larger actuation displacement than THUNDERT$^{TM}$.
