The role of transfer films formed during sliding of polymer composites against steel counterfaces was studied in terms of the tribological behaviors of composites. Four kinds of composites were included in this study: (1) unfilled PPS, (2) PPS+2%CuO, (3) PPS+2%CuO+5% carbon fiber (CF), and (4) PPS+2%CuO+15%Kevlar. The filler material CuO was in nanoscale particulate form and the reinforcing material was in the form of short fibers. The composites were prepared by compression molding at $310^{\circ}C$ and sliding tests were run in the pin-on-disk sliding configuration. The counterface was made of tool steel hardened to 55-60 HRC and finished to a surface roughness of 0.09-0.10 ${\mu}m$ Ra. Wear tests were run for 6 hrs at the sliding speed of 1 m/s and contact pressure of 0.65 MPa. Transfer films formed on the counterfaces during sliding were investigated using AFM and SEM. The results showed that as the transfer film became smooth and uniform, wear rate decreased. PPS+2%CuO+15%Kevlar composite showed the lowest steady state wear rate in this study and its transfer film showed the smoothest and the most uniform characteristics. The examination of worn surfaces of PPS+2%CuO composite using X-ray area scanning (dot mapping) showed back-transfer of steel counterface material to the polymer pin surface. This behavior is believed to strengthen the polymer pin surface during sliding thereby contributing to the decrease in wear rate.

Wind Turbines of big scale of modem stage are made of a part glass F.R.P. Carbon Reinforced Plastic and Kevlar can be used 0 reinforcement but those are not economical in big scale of Wind Turbines. In this study life sized 10kW-class Rotor Blade is made of F.R.P. which is high stiffness and good dynamic behavior characteristic for light weight. It is accomplished an experimental research of Bending analysis blade. Bending analysis blade are calculated with F.E. Analysis performed with commercial F.E.M program ANSYS. Finally, experimental research is compared with F.E. Analysis. The results indicate that experimental values have good agreements with the F.E. Analysis.

The structural behavior of sandwich plates with unsymmetricaly thick faces are analysed using Raleigh-Ritz Energy method by comparing the bending stresses, shear stresses, local bending stresses, membrane stresses of skin and core materials including local bending effect. As for sandwich materials, the combination of two types of face materials and three types of core materials are used in the analysis.

This paper describes the need for a ductile Fiber Reinforced Plastic(FRP) reinforcement for Concrete Structures. Using the material hybrid and geometric hybrid, it is demonstrated that the pseudo-ductility Characteristic can be generated in FRP rebar. Ductile hybrid FRP bars were successfully fabricated at Ø3mm and Ø10mm nominal diameters using the braidtrusion process. Tensile and bending specimens from these bars were tested and compared with behavior of stress-strain of steel bar and GFRP rebar

This paper describes the need for a ductile of Fiber Reinforced Plastic(FRP) reinforcement for concrete structures. The criteria to be met by the FRP, which are based on the properties of the steel rebar it is to replace, are threefold: high initial modulus, a definite yield point and a high level of ultimate strain. It is shown that the use of a fiber architecture based design methodology facilitates the optimization of the performance of FRP through material and geometric hybrid. Ductile hybrid FRP bars were successfully fabricated at 3mm and 5mm nominal diameters using an in-line braiding and pultrusion process.

High performance materials such as Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) are often used for retrofitting structures against blast loads due to its ductility and strength. The effectiveness of retrofit materials needs to be precisely evaluated for the retrofitting design based on the dynamic material responses under blast loads. In this study, the blast resistance of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and Kevlar/Glass hybrid fabric (K/G) retrofitted reinforced concrete (RC) wall is analyzed by using the explicit analysis code LS-DYNA, which accommodates the high-strain rate dependent material models. Also, the retrofit effectiveness of FRP fabrics is evaluated by comparing the analysis results for non-retrofitted and retrofitted walls. The verification of the analysis is performed through comparisons with the previous experimental results.

Solid rocket motor case의 internal insulator로 미가류 형태의 내열재에 적당하게 tacky성과 삭막 특성을 고려한 조성을 개발하여 시스템에 성공적으로 적용하였다. 개발된 내열재의 주요 조성으로는 base polymer로 EPDM과 CR을 80/20으로 blend하여 적용했으며, 삭막 특성 향상을 위해 아라미드 섬유인 Kevlar 29를 5 phrs, Hydrated silica인 Zeosil 155를 30phrs 적용하였다. 이와 같은 조성으로 제작된 내열재는 삭마시험, 인장시험, 열특성시험 등 각종 특성시험을 수행하여 시스템에 적용하기 위한 성능을 확인하고 공정에 적용하였다. ST-8 표준 모타에 적용하여 삭막시험한 결과 삭마율 0.21mm/sec를 얻었고, 추진기관 사용 온도인 -4$0^{\circ}C$-6$0^{\circ}C$ 온도 범위에서 기계적성질 값을 측정하여 성능 저하가 없는 안정된 값을 얻었으며, DSC로 Tg point 측정 결과 -55$^{\circ}C$로 나타나 저온특성이 우수한 EPDM 내열재 특성을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study aims to develop efficient composite laminates for buckling load enhancement, interlaminar shear stress minimization, and weight reduction. This goal is achieved through cover-skin lay-ups around skins and stiffeners, which amplify bending stiffness and defer delamination by means of effective stress distribution. The design problem is formulated as multi-objective optimization that maximizes buckling load capability while minimizing both maximum out-of-plane shear stress and panel weight. For efficient optimization, response surface methodology is employed for buckling load, two out-of-plane shear stresses, and panel weight with respect to one ply thickness, six fiber orientations of a skin, and four stiffener heights. Numerical results show that skin-covered composite stiffened panels can be devised for maximum buckling load and minimum interlaminar shear stresses under compressive load. In addition, the effects of different material properties are investigated and compared. The obtained results reveal that the composite stiffened panel with Kevlar material is the most effective design.

Along with the rapid development of automobile industry in this country the necessity of high quality braking material is ever increased to maintain the comfortness as well as the safety the passengers. Asbestos-based friction materials are banned in the developed countries because of their cancer-inducing effect. This study focuses on the development of non-acbestos friction material with acceptable properties such as wear resistant high temperature endurant and low-noise enducing. We have all the intermediate test results indicating the contribution of each additives. These are qualitatively analyzed. Manufacturing processes such as opening of the kevlar and degasing at elevated temperature is equally important to attain proper level of friction quality.
