Piezoelectric Fiber Composites with Interdigitated Electrodes (PFCIDE) were previously introduced as an alternative to monolithic wafers with conventional electrodes for applications of structural actuation. This paper is an investigation into the performance improvement of piezoelectric fiber composite actuators by changing the matrix material and actuator shape. This paper presents a modified micro-electromechanical model and numerical analyses of piezoelectric fiber/piezopolymer matrix composite actuator with interdigitated electrodes (PFPMIDE). Numerical analyses show that the shape of the graphite/epoxy composite plate with the PFPMIDE may be controlled by judicious choice of voltages, piezoelectric fiber angles, and elastic tailoring of the composite plate.

In this paper, active shape control of composite structure actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) wires is presented. Hybrid composite structure was established by attaching SMA actuators on the surfaces of graphite/epoxy composite beam using bolt-joint connectors. SMA actuators were activated by phase transformation, which induced by temperature rising over austenite finish temperatures. In this paper, electrical resistive heating was applied to the hybrid composite structures to activate the SMA actuators. For faster and more accurate shape or deflection control of the hybrid composite structure, PID feedback controller was designed from numerical simulations and experimentally applied to the SMA actuators.

An approach for predicting the effective thermal conductivities of fiber-reinforce composite has been developed based on a thermal-electrical analogy. The unit cell of the composite laminate is divided into regular volume elements and the material properties have been given to each element. By constructing the series-parallel thermal resistance network, the thermal conductivities of composite both in-plane and out-of-plane direction have been predicted. Graphite/Epoxy composite is used for a balanced plain-weave composite laminate. By comparing the predicted results and the previous works, good agreement has been found.

The postbuckling analysis of composite curved panels subjected to lateral loading was conducted by a nonlinear finite clement program, ACOS. Two kinds of graphite/epoxy composite materials, URN300 and USN 125 were tested to verify the finite element analysis. High stiffness composite material, URN300 curved panels showed the critical failure prior to initial buckling. On the contrary USN 125 curved panels showd no severe damage after snap-through. In both panels, the finite element and experimental results showed good agreement.

In this work, the effect of the correction fibers direction on the efficiency of repairing damaged composite plates was highlighted. The composite plates studied in this work consist of eight layers of graphite/epoxy, while the patch used in this repair consists of four layers of the same type. The results obtained in this work, whether with regard to the experimental or analytical side, showed that the fibers orientation affects the repair efficiency, so the closer the angle of fibers inclination is to the tensile strength direction, the performance of the composite material is ideal. Hence, we conclude that the composite materials with longitudinal fibers (Parallel to tensile strength) is the most powerful and efficient material in performance.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유의 첨가가 흑연 보강 전도성 고분자 복합재료의 전기적, 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 압축성형법을 이용하여 흑연입자/탄소섬유 혼합 보강 전도성 고분자 복합재료를 제조하였으며 흑연입자의 고비율 충진은 복합재료 내에서 입자 사이의 직접 접촉을 통해 높은 전기 전도도(>100S/cm)를 얻는 것을 가능하게 하였다. 하지만 흑연입자의 비율이 높아짐에 따라 소재의 강도가 점차 떨어지게 되므로 이를 보완하기 위해 탄소섬유를 첨가하여 그에 따른 소재의 전기적, 기계적 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 탄소섬유의 충진 비율이 증가함에 따라 소재의 굽힘 강도는 증가하였으나 탄소섬유의 클러스터 형성으로 인해 탄소섬유 사이에 비전도성 영역이 발생하여 복합재료의 전기 전도도는 감소함을 확인하였다. 탄소섬유의 충진 비율이 전체 시스템의 20wt.%인 경우에는 굽힘 강도는 12% 증가한 반면 전기 전도도가 27% 감소하였다.

This paper is concerned with numerical simulation of hypervelocity impacts(HVIs) of a projectile on laminated composite plate targets using SPH method. A one-parameter visco-plasticity model and damage model is used to describe the HVIs response of composite materials. The numerical simulation was carried out for a steel projectile striking to aluminum plate targets and for an aluminum projectile striking to laminated graphite/epoxy (Gr/Ep) composite plate targets. Through the numerical simulation, comparison with the HVIs response of isotropic materials and composite materials is discussed.

A metal flaperon of a supersonic aircraft including the ribs, and skins was re-designed with a graphite/epoxy composite material to evaluate the weight saving effect. MSC/NASTRAN was used for the finite element analysis. The safety of the composite structures were evaluated in terms of the failure index, section cut, buckling, bearing/bypass and durability and damage tolerance analysis. After the application of the composite material, total weight saving of 25.6 pounds was achieved.

Polyvinylidene di-fluoride (PVDF) film sensor appeared to be practically useful for the structural health monitoring of composite materials and structures. PVDF film sensors were either attached to or embedded in the graphite/epoxy composite (CFRP) samples to detect the fatigue damage at the bondline of single-lap joints or the tensile failure of unidirectional laminates. PVDF sensors were sensitive enough to detect and determine the crack front in linear location since composites usually produce very energetic acoustic emission (AE). PVDF sensors are extremely cost-effective, as flexible as other plastic films, in low profile as thin as a few tens of microns, and have relatively wide-band response, all of which characteristics are readily utilized for the structural health monitoring of composite structures. Signals due to fatigue damage showed a characteristics of mode II (shear) type failure whereas those from fiber breakage at DEN notches showed that of mode I (tensile) type fracture.

Piezoelectric Fiber Composites with Interdigitated Electrodes (PFCIDE) were previously introduced as an alternative to monolithic wafers with conventional electrodes for applications of structural actuation. This paper is an investigation into the performance improvement of piezoelectric fiber composite actuators by changing the matrix material. This paper presents a modified micro-electromechanical model and numerical analyses of piezoelectric fiber/piezopolymer matrix composite actuator with interdigitated electrodes (PFPMIDE). Various concepts from different backgrounds including three-dimensional linear elastic and dielectric theories have been incorporated into the present linear piezoelectric model. The rule of mixture and the modified method to calculate effective properties of fiber composites were extended to apply to the PFPMIDE model. The new model was validated when compared with available experimental data and other analytical results. To see the structural responses of a composite plate integrated with the PFPMIDE, three-dimensional finite element formulations were derived. Numerical analyses show that the shape of the graphite/epoxy composite plate with the PFPMIDE may be controlled by judicious choice of voltages, piezoelectric fiber angles, and elastic tailoring of the composite plate.
