Piezoelectric and dielectric behaviors of a piezoceramic patch adhesively centered on a carbon composite plate are identified using a robust multi-objective optimization procedure. For this purpose, the patch piezoelectric stress coupling and blocked dielectric constants are automatically evaluated for a wide frequency range and for the different identifiable behaviors. Latters' symmetry conditions are coded in the design plans serving for response surface methodology-based sensitivity analysis and meta-modeling. The identified constants result from the measured and computed open-circuit frequencies deviations minimization by a genetic algorithm that uses meta-model estimated frequencies. Present investigations show that the bonded piezoceramic patch has effective three-dimensional (3D) orthotropic piezoelectric and dielectric behaviors. Besides, the sensitivity analysis indicates that four constants, from eight, dominate the 3D orthotropic behavior, and that the analyses can be reduced to the electromechanically coupled modes only; therefore, in this case, and if only the dominated parameters are optimized while the others keep their nominal values, the resulting piezoelectric and dielectric behaviors are found to be transverse-isotropic. These results can help designing piezoceramics smart composites for various applications like noise, vibration, shape, and health control.

In the present study, modelling and vibration control of axially moving laminated Carbon nanotubes/fiber/polymer composite (CNTFPC) plate under initial tension are investigated. Orthotropic visco-Pasternak foundation is developed to consider the influences of orthotropy angle, damping coefficient, normal and shear modulus. The governing equations of the laminated CNTFPC plates are derived based on new form of first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) which is simpler than the conventional one due to reducing the number of unknowns and governing equations, and significantly, it does not require a shear correction factor. Halpin-Tsai model is utilized to evaluate the material properties of two-phase composite consist of uniformly distributed and randomly oriented CNTs through the epoxy resin matrix. Afterwards, the structural properties of CNT reinforced polymer matrix which is assumed as a new matrix and then reinforced with E-Glass fiber are calculated by fiber micromechanics approach. Employing Hamilton's principle, the equations of motion are obtained and solved by Hybrid analytical numerical method. Results indicate that the critical speed of moving laminated CNTFPC plate can be improved by adding appropriate values of CNTs. These findings can be used in design and manufacturing of marine vessels and aircrafts.

기존의 'Orthotropic' 근사모델의 개선된 형태인 ORW를 새로운 유동 자료를 이용하여 수치적으로 구하였다. 기존의 'Orthotropic' 근사모델인 ORF나 ORL은 특히 전단유동 하에서 상호작용상수 $C_1$<0.001인 경우 비물리적 진동특성을 나타낸다. 물론 center-gated disk와 같은 비균일 유동하에서도 비물리적 진동특성을 나타내고 'Distribution Function Calculation'과 비교하여 배향 상태를 낮게 예측한다. 이런 현상들은 바로 least-square 최적화 시 사용된 유동 자료에 기인한 것을 알 수 있었다. 작은 상호작용계수의 균일 유동 자료를 이용하여 최적화를 한 ORW의 경우 비물리적 진동특성도 나타나지 않았고 균일 및 비균일 유동하에서 모두 정성적으로 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 최적화 시 사용된 함수의 선택은 근사모델을 발전시키는데 그다지 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 하지만, 모든 배향 텐서의 eigenvalue들을 고려하면 보다 정량적으로 발전시킬 수 있지만 이들의 함수모양 선택은 중요하고 어려운 문제다. 비교를 위하여 ORW와 다른 여러 가지 근사모델을 이용하여 Film-gated strip과 Center-gated disk에 대한 연계효과 및 평면속도구배를 포함한 사출성형 충전공정의 수치모사를 수행하였다. ORW가 'Distribution Function Calculation' 과 비교하여 정량적으로도 거의 비슷한 결과를 예측함을 보여주지만 실제 실험자료와 비교하였을 때 약간의 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 좀 더 정확히 섬유의 배향도를 예측하기 위해서는 섬유들의 상호작용을 나타내는 항의 모델링의 변화가 요구된다.

Corrosion of steel rebars in bridge decks which are faced to harsh conditions, is a common problem in construction industries due to the porosity of concrete. In this research, the behavior of one-way concrete slabs reinforced with Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) molded grating is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. In the analytical method, a closed-form solution for load-deflection behavior of a slab under four-point bending condition is developed by considering a concrete slab as an orthotropic plate and defining stiffness coefficients in principal directions. The available formulation for concrete reinforced with steel is expanded for concrete reinforced with GFRP molded grating to predict ultimate failure load. In finite element modeling, an exact nonlinear behavior of concrete along with a 3-D failure criterion for cracking and crushing are considered in order to estimate the ultimate failure load and the initial cracking load. Eight concrete slabs reinforced with steel and GFRP grating in various thicknesses are also tested to verify the results. The obtained results from the models and experiments are relatively satisfactory.

복합재료에 삽입된 점탄성 재료는 복합재구조물의 감쇠물성을 크게 증가시킨다. 일반적으로 점탄성 재료는 등방성이므로 모든 방향의 감쇠물성이 동일하다. 최근 재료의 방향에 따라 감쇠물성이 변하는 이방성 감쇠재료의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이방성 감쇠재료는 점탄성 재료 내부에 얇은 섬유를 삽입하여 제작한다. 삽입된 섬유는 댐핑재료의 강성에 큰 영향을 주며 강성은 고전 적층판 이론을 따르게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Ni와 Adams의 이론을 이용하여 손실계수를 평가하였다. 그리고 방향성 있는 감쇠재료의 영향을 평가하기 위해 저속충격 거동해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과로부터 방향성 있는 감쇠재료는 복합적층판의 진동 및 감쇠특성에 큰 영향을 줌을 보였다

The optimization for dynamic response associated with a cylindrical shell which is made of laminated composites embedded in a piezoelectric layer which is subjected to temperature rises and is resting on an elastic foundation is investigated for the first time. The first shear order theory (FSDT) is utilized in order to obtain the strain relations of the shell. Then, using the energy method, the equations of motions as well as boundary condition of the problem are attained. The formulation of this study together with the solution procedure which is a numerical solution method, differential quadrature method (DQM) is validated using other researches. This paper presents a thorough study on the parameters which impacts the vibration frequency of the laminated shell. The results of this paper shows that any type of laminated composite shell can reduce the vibration frequency providing that the angle related to layer are higher than 85 degrees. Also, in order to reduce the effect of temperature rises, the laminated composites instead of orthotropic one can be used.

The application of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites for rehabilitation of steel structures has become vital in recent years. This paper presents an experimental program and a finite element (FE) modelling approach to study the effectiveness of CFRP patch for repair of notch damaged circular hollow sectional (CHS) steel beams. The proposed modeling approach is unique because it takes into account the orthotropic behavior and stacking sequence of composite materials. Parametric study was conducted to investigate the effect of initial damage (i.e., notch depth) on flexural performance of the notched beams and effectiveness of the repair system using the validated FE models. Results demonstrated the ability of CFRP patch to repair notched CHS steel beams, restoring them to their original flexural stiffness and strength. The effect of composite patch repair technique on post-elastic stiffness was more pronounced compared to the elastic stiffness. Composite patch repair becomes more effective when the level of initial damage of beam increases.

In order to analyze the stress distribution and stress concentration factors in composite materials, especially, in the short fiber of the reinforced composite materials by photoelastic method, it is necessary to develop the photoelastic model material having short fibers with arbitrary size and orientation. In this paper, the orthotropic photoelastic model material having short fibers for the transparent type photoelastic device was developed by the embedded corrosion fiber method. It was found that the model material was satisfactory to the properties of photoelastic model material, and also that the embedded corrosion fiber method can be employed for developing a model material with arbitrary size and direction to analyze the stress distribution and crack problems of composite materials.

In general, laminate effective orthotropic thermal conductivities are dependent on fiber and matrix material properties, fiber volume fraction and fabric geometric parameters. This paper deals with the predicting method of the transverse and the in-plane thermal conductivities of plain weave fabric composites based on the three dimensional series-parallel thermal resistance network. Thermal resistance network was applied to unit cell model that characterizes the periodically repeated pattern of plain weave. Also, an experiment apparatus is setup to measure the thermal conductivities of composite material. The numerical and experimental results of carbon/epoxy plain weave are compared.

This paper describes a method for a falling weight impact test to estimate the impact energy absorbing characteristics and impact strength of CFRP (Carbon-fiber reinforced plastics) laminate plates based on considerations of stress wave propagation theory, which were converted to measurements of load and displacement verses time. The delamination area of impacted specimens for the different ply orientations was measured with an ultrasonic C-scanner to determine the correlation between impact energy and delamination area. The energy absorbed by a quasi-isotropic specimen having four interfaces was higher than that of orthotropic laminates with two interfaces. The more interfaces, the greater the energy absorbed. The absorbed energy of a hybrid specimen embedding GFRP (Glass-fiber reinforced plastics) layer was higher than that of normal specimens. Also, a falling weight impact tester was built to evaluate the characteristics and impact strength of CFRPs.
