Polyurethane foam with low density used in sandwich panels is examined in the paper. A series of experiments was carried out to identify mechanical parameters of the foam. Various experimental methods were used for determining the shear modulus, namely a four and three point bending tests (the most common in engineering practice), a double-lap shear test and a torsion test. The behavior of PU in axial compression and tension was also studied. The experiments revealed pronounced anisotropy of the PU foam. An orthotropic model is proposed. Limitations of application of isotropic model of PU in engineering practice is also discussed.

A chemical and biological permeable barrier with economic feasibility is suggested to treat landfill leachate in this study. The proposed composite layers consist of bentonite, and polyurethane (PU) foam that is mixed with powdered activated carbon (PAC) and inoculated with microorganisms from local wastewater treatment plant. Each layer is mixed with local sand, and yellow brown soil. Batch tests were conducted to investigate the sorptions of nitrate on the PU foam and PAC, and nitrification/denitrification rate of each layer material. Nitrification occurred in 30 minutes with initial ammonia concentration of 100 mg/L, and the concentration of nitrate attached in the PU foam increased after 270 minutes. Results of denitrification batch tests showed 76.6%, 87.3% and 88% of nitrate removal efficiency at 10%, 20% and 30% of the volume ratio of PU foam, respectively. The pH increased from 7 to 9.42, and alkalinity increased from 980 mg/L to 1720 mg/L during the denitrification batch tests. In the column experiments using the proposed composite layers with 20% of the volume ratio of the PU foam, about 96% of BOD, 63% of COD, 58.1~79.5% of total nitrogen were removed.

0.5mm 크기의 타원형 무기분말을 충전한 폴리우레탄 폼 복합재료에 대한 가교반응의 특성과 후가교처리에 따른 기계적 물성의 변화에 대하여 생성반응의 온도 측정, TGA, 및 인장시험을 이용하여 연구하였다. 중량비로 20% 정도를 충전하는 $CeO_2$ 무기분말(Ce500)을 충전한 샘플 폼복합재료는 10분 이내에 $100^{\circ}$ 정도의 최고 반응속도점 온도에 도달하였으며, 만들어진 샘플의 열분해반응은 약 $250^{\circ}$ 부근의 저온 열분해와 약 $350^{\circ}$ 부근의 고온 열분해의 이중모드로 일어나는 것이 관찰되었다. Kissinger의 해석방법에 의한 분해활성화에너지는 저온영역에서의 열분해에 대하여서는 117.4kJ/mol이며 고온영역에 대해서는 139.4kJ/mol의 값을 각각 나타내었다. $160^{\circ}C$에서의 샘플의 후가교 처리시간에 따른 기계적 성질은 후가교 시간에 따라서 파단응력이나 경도는 크게 변하지 않는 것으로 나타났으나 파단신율은 최대 1.72배까지 증가하였으며, 본 실험에서 사용된 샘플의 경우 $160^{\circ}C$, 7시간 정도의 후가교 시간이 가장 적절한 후가교 조건으로 생각되었다.

Multi-objective optimization was conducted to obtain the optimal configuration of a composite sandwich structure with honeycomb-foam hybrid core subjected to underwater shock waves, which can fulfill the demand for light weight and energy efficient design of structures against underwater blast. Effects of structural parameters on the dynamic response of the sandwich structures subjected to underwater shock waves were analyzed numerically, from which the correlations of different parameters to the dynamic response were determined. Multi-objective optimization of the structure subjected to underwater shock waves of which the initial pressure is 30 MPa was conducted based on surrogate modelling method and genetic algorithm. Moreover, optimization results of the sandwich structure subjected to underwater shock waves with different initial pressures were compared. The research can guide the optimal design of composite sandwich structures subjected to underwater shock waves.

흡음재로 널리 사용되는 헤드라이너는 발포성 폴리우레탄(PU foam)과 유리섬유(Glass Fiber,GF) 로 구성된 복합재료로, 제품의 생산 공정을 거치는 동안 부산물 형태의 폐기물이 발생한다. 헤드라이너 폐기물에 대한 효과적인 재활용을 위해 헤드라이너 구성성분에 대한 분리공정이 중요한 문제점이다. 헤드라이너에 대한 열분석결과에 의하면 중량의 감량 비율은 $400^{\circ}C$까지의 온도범위에서는 발포성 폴리우레탄 > 비발포성 폴리우레탄 > 부직포 > 1st layer > 유리섬유의 순으로 감량이 증가하는 결과를 보이고 있다. HDPE, LLDPE, PP 그리고 Master Batch 에 첨가제 형태로 폐 스크랩 첨가하여 sheet를 제작한 후 DSC 특성을 분석한 결과 PP를 제외한 다른 물질들에서는 결정화에 따른 발열전이가 나타나지 않는 것을 확인 하였다.

This paper reports on the energy absorption characteristics of a lattice-web reinforced composite sandwich cylinder (LRCSC) which is composed of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) face sheets, GFRP lattice webs, polyurethane (PU) foam and ceramsite filler. Quasi-static compression experiments on the LRCSC manufactured by a vacuum assisted resin infusion process (VARIP) were performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed cylinders. Compared with the cylinders without lattice webs, a maximum increase in the ultimate elastic load of the lattice-web reinforced cylinders of approximately 928% can be obtained. Moreover, due to the use of ceramsite filler, the energy absorption was increased by 662%. Several numerical simulations using ANSYS/LS-DYNA were conducted to parametrically investigate the effects of the number of longitudinal lattice webs, the number of transverse lattice webs, and the thickness of the transverse lattice web and GFRP face sheet. The effectiveness and feasibility of the numerical model were verified by a series of experimental results. The numerical results demonstrated that a larger number of thicker transverse lattice webs can significantly enhance the ultimate elastic load and initial stiffness. Moreover, the ultimate elastic load and initial stiffness were hardly affected by the number of longitudinal lattice webs.

Liquefied natural gas(LNG) cargo containment system(CCS) has the primary function of ensuring both adequate structural safety with respect to sloshing load which is defined as a violent behaviour of the liquid contents in CCS due to external forced motions and thermal insulation keeping natural gas below its boiling point. Among different LNG CCS types such as independent B-type and membrane ones, Mark III CCS is considered in this paper to perform its strength assessment. Mark III CCS plate is designed and constructed by stacking various non-metallic engineering materials such as plywood, triplex, reinforced PU foam that are supported by series of mastic upon inner steel hull structure. From the viewpoint of structural analysis, this plated structure is treated as a laminated composite structure showing complex structural behaviour under external load. Advanced finite element models of Mark III CCS plate is generated and used in conjunction with ultimate strength based failure criteria from laminated composite mechanics for the strength assessment. The strength assessment is performed within the initial failure state of Mark III CCS plate. Results provide failure details such as failure locations and loads. Finally obtained results are reviewed using the loads from acceptance criteria suggested by classification.
