최근 차량하중의 대형화에 의해 교량구조물은 사용년수가 증가함에 따라 노후손상에 의해 당초의 설계능력을 발휘하지 못하는 경우가 종종 있으며, 이에 대해 교량구조물의 내하력을 증강시키기 위하여 여러 가지 보수 보강 공법들이 사용되고 있다. 특히 재료의 내부식성, 친환경성 등을 고려하여 GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic)에 의한 보강이 점차 증가하는 추세에 있으나, 아직까지 기존 철근콘크리트 부재와 보강되는 GFRP 부재의 합성에 의한 해석기술에 대한 연구가 많지 않은 실정이다.(중략)

Longitudinal strains({$varepsilon}_x$) of the core and skin layers in glass fiber reinforced plastic(GFRP) cross-ply composite laminates have been studied using the embedded optical fiber sensor of totally-reflected extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer(TR-EFPI). Foil-type strain gauges bonded on both the upper and lower surfaces were used for the measurement of the surface strains. Both TR-EFPI sensor and strain gauge bonded on the specimen surface showed excellent agreement within -0.0086 ~ +0.0302% strain. It was shown that values of {$varepsilon}_x$ in the interior of the surface layer and the core layer measured by embedded TR-EFPI sensor was significantly higher than that of the specimen surface measured by strain gauges. The experimental results were ascertained with finite element analysis. Embedded TR-EFPI optical fiber sensor could measure accurately the internal strains which were different from the surface.

The purpose of this study is to understand the cutting characteristics of glass-fiber rein- forced plastic (GFRP) by investigating the variation of cutting force and surface roughness, depending on the amount fo flank wear and cutting conditions. And a Taylor type tool life equation is derived using the regression analysis. The present study reveals that, 1. Taylor's eqquation can be applicable to GFRP nd the constants n (0.170-0.175) and C (53.7- 64.4) are smaller than those in cutting of steel. 2. Principal cutting force increases sharply with the increase of feed rate, but feed force and radial force are almost constant. This result is quite different from that of metal cutting. 3. Cutting forces ($F_P, \;F_Q, \;F_R$) increase with the increase of flank wear, and feed force especially increases sharply with the increase of flank wear. 4. Surface roughness changes very much along the circumference of the workpiece and the amount of flank wear has almost no effect on surface roughness.

저온유지장치에서 요구되는 도달압력은 초전도 코일의 냉각시스템과 저온유지장치의 벽 사이의 진공단열조건으로부터 결정될 수 있으며, 기체에 의한 열전도의 영향을 방지하기 위해서는 5$\times$105Torr 이하의 진공도가 요구된다. 저온유지장치 내에서 진공 단열재로 사용되는 Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic(GFRP)과 Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic(CFRP)의 기체 방출률을 측정하였다. 고출력 토카막 방전동안 graphite limiter 표면의 온도는 200$0^{\circ}C$ 이상이며, 플라즈마로 유입되는 불순물의 양을 줄이기 위해 많은 시도를 하고 있다. 상온에서부터 약 100$0^{\circ}C$까지 승온에 따른 방출기체의 양 및 성분 분석, annealing 후 공기 중에 약 2주간 노출 후 기체 방출률과 성분을 분석하였다. 총 기체 방출량은 10$0^{\circ}C$ 근방에서 급격히 증가하여 $600^{\circ}C$부터는 graphite의 종류에 관계없이 거의 일정한 분포를 보이며, 최대 방출률은 약 20$0^{\circ}C$~30$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 나타났다.

The fatigue behavior of GFRP composites is affected by environmental parameters. Therefore, we have to study on effect of sea water on fatigue behavior of GFRP composites as to maintain the safety and confidence in design of ocean structure of GFRP. In this paper, we investigated the fatigue properties of chopped strand glass mat/polyester composite in synthetic sea water. (pH 8.2) In case of the glass fiber (CSM type) reinforced polyester composite materials, the fatigue crack in the both dry and wet specimens tested in air or synthetic sea water occurred at the initial of cycle. Thereafter, it was divided with two regions that one decreased with the crack extension and the other increased with the crack extension. The transition point occurred during the crack propagation shifted to high ${\Delta}K$ value as load increase but its point is not changed regardless of immersion or test environment under a constant load. The synthetic sea water degrades the bond strength between fiber and matrix, thereby the tendency of rapid deceleration and acceleration of the crack growth was appeared.

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.

The mechanical properties of composites are significantly affected by external environment. It is essential to understand the degradation of material performance and judge the material's lifetime in advance. In the current research, changes in mechanical properties of glass fiber and unsaturated polyester composite materials (GFRP, Glass fiber reinforced plastic) were investigated under different bending stress and submerged in hot water at a temperature of $80^{\circ}C$. Loading time of 100 H (hours), 200 H, 400 H, 600 H, 800 H for testing under stresses equal to 0% (stress-free state), 30%, 50% and 70% of the ultimate strength was applied on the GFRP specimens. From the values of bending stress, obtained from three-point bending test, fracture energy, failure time, and life curve were analysed. Moreover, a normalized strength degradation model for this condition was also developed. It was observed that within 100 H, the decline rate of the bending strength was proportional to the pressure.

The GFRP composite is used for hot press flow molding of automotive components, and the different flow rates of fiber and plastic are likely to induce fiber orientation and inhomogeneity in the material. However, very limited systematic research studies are available on composite materials with superior flow homogeneity and optimized fiber orientation. The inhomogeneity and fiber orientation issues of GFRP composites have still not been resolved through research. The plain weaving method applied to the GFRP prepreg can improve its recyclability, inhomogeneity, fiber flow, structural stability, fiber deformation, surface smoothness, degree of impregnation, and other mechanical properties. The need for more detailed and thorough studies is evidenced.

Recently, the wide range of the composite materials is used for the making airplanes, trains and automobiles body for the lightweight. Despite having complex structures, composite materials usually have well defined mechanical characteristics. However, composite materials are difficult to understand the fracture mechanism clearly by simple mechanical test. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) combined with mechanical testing can play a more important role and especially Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) would become known to be a useful tool to assess damage and fracture behavior of composites. In this study The experiment was performed to acquire the acoustic emission signal during tensile test using unidirectional CFRP specimen and the data was analyzed the acoustic emission parameters with the waveform.

The vibration behavior of glass-fabric reinforced plastic(GFRP) composite beams subjected to various transverse impacts has been investigated as a function of fiber orientation and void fraction. Theoretical results of resonant frequency damping coefficient and modal amplitude dispersion using the Euler-beam theory were obtained along with the finite element analysis which were compared with experimental ones Consequently it was shown that the transverse vibration characteristics were largely affected by fiber orientation and void fraction.
