A bipolar plate is an important component in a fuel cell in the sense of cost and weight. This study aimed at developing highly conductive, lightweight, and low cost bipolar plates. Hybrid carbons filled poly(phenylene sulfide)(PPS) composite bipolar plates were prepared by using the compression molding technique. Various types and amounts of conducting carbon fillers such as graphite, carbon black, carbon fibers, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were adopted for the composites. Electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of the composites were measured in order to investigate effects of each components of fillers. When the graphite is only used as a conducting filler, the electrical conductivity of the composites increases with increasing the content, but the flexural strength decreases dramatically. However, for CNTs and carbon fibers, the flexural strength initially increases and then decreases with increasing the amount of the conducting fillers. The amount of graphite corresponding to the peak of flexural strength was moved to lower content with increasing the amount of CNTs or carbon fiber. When hybrid conducting fillers such as fibrous and particulate fillers were used, the synergy effect in mechanical and electrical properties was observed.

TiC ceramic particulate-reinforced titanium matrix composites were fabricated and the resultant densification, microstructure, and static and dynamic mechanical properties were studied. Comparing Ti with TiH₂powders as host materials for TiC ceramic reinforcement by pressureless vacuum sintering, TiH₂-started composites showed better sinterability and resistance to both elastic and plastic deformation than Ti-started ones. When TiH₂and TiH₂-45 vol.%TiC samples were hot pressed, TiH₂matrices transformed to alpha prime Ti and alpha Ti phase, respectively. It is interpreted that the diffusion of an alpha stabilizer carbon from TiC into the matrix is one of the plausible reasons far such a microstructural difference. The 0.2% offset yield strengths of the hot pressed TiH₂and TiH₂-45 vol.%TiC samples were 1008 and 1446 MPa, respectively, in a static compressive mode (strain rate of 1×$10^{-3}$/s). Dynamic compressive strengths of the samples were 1600 and 2060 MPa, respectively, at a strain rate of 4×10³/s.

Particulate reinforced titanium composites were produced by PM rout. Differents volumetric percentages of TiN reinforcements were used, 5,10,15 vol%. Samples were uniaxial pressed and vacuum sintered at differents temperatures between $1200-1300^{\circ}C$. Density, porosity, shrinkage, mechanical properties and microstructure were studied. Elastic properties and strength resistance were analysed by flexural strength and tension tests, and after the test, fractured samples were analysed too, obtaining a correlation between the fracture, interparticulated or intraparticulated, and the reinforcement addition.. Hardness and microhardness test were applied too, in order to complete the study about mechanical properties. In order to study wear resistance pin-on-disc test were used. In addition, the temperature influence, the reactivity between matrix and reinforcement, and the microstructures developed were observed by optical and electron microscopy.

저온 분사된 입자와 섬유강화 복합재료 사이의 접착력을 향상시키기 위해 금속 메쉬와 금속 입자/에폭시 접착제가 조합된 중간층이 도입되었다. 저온 분사 입자 및 금속 메쉬 그리고 금속 입자에는 모두 알루미늄을 활용하였다. 높은 변형률 속도에서 중간 층의 응력을 예측하기 위해서는 접착제 물성의 측정 또는 계산이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 금속 입자/에폭시 접착제의 물성을 계산하기 위해 혼합법칙(Rule of mixture)을 활용한 균질화 기법의 연구를 진행하였다. 균질화 기법의 검증을 위해 금속 메쉬/접착제로 구성된 중간층에 알루미늄 입자를 활용한 저온 분사를 진행하여, 실험으로 측정된 입자의 침투 깊이를 유한요소 해석에서 계산된 입자의 침투 깊이와 비교하였다. 시험과 해석에서 저온 분사 입자 혹은 중간층에 도입된 입자 하나 수준 크기의 침투 결과를 확인하였고, 이를 통해 높은 변형률 속도를 갖는 입자강화 복합재료 층의 물성 예측에 있어 균질화 기법이 적용될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

Cryogenic crushing techniques have been employed for recycling waste rubber articles and for extracting residual organic additives present in rubber samples. Rubber particulate derived from tire tread abrasion is one of the key components of road dust. Therefore, in this work, we prepared rubber particulates using a cryogenic crusher and characterized their shapes as well as size distributions according to the type of rubber. The rubber particulates exhibited uneven surfaces with the presence of some small pieces. The order of the particle size distribution was observed to be: NR > BR > SBR. Subsequently, carbon black was added; this led to a decrease in the particle size and the shape becoming rougher. The crushed particulates of the carbon black-filled samples comprised agglomerated shapes of small pieces, which were similar in shape to that of wear debris in tire tread. It was discovered that crosslink density was one of the principal factors that led to the formation of small crushed particulates. The small particulates obtained by cryogenic crushing can be utilized as model rubber particulates for researching micro dust.

The tribological behaviour of monolithic SiC as well as SiC-TiC and SiC-TiC-$TiB_2$ particulate composite materials has been investigated in unlubricated oscillating sliding tests against $Al_2O_3$ at temperature in the range from room temperature up to $600^{\circ}C$. At temperatures below $600^{\circ}C$ the wear rate of the systems with the composite materials was up to 20 times lower than the wear of the $Al_2O_3$/SiC system and was dominated by the oxidation of the titanium phases. At $600^{\circ}C$ the oxidation rate of the TiC and -TEX>$TiB_2$ grains becomes predominant resulting in an enhanced wear rate of the composite rate of the TiC and TiB2 grains becomes predominant resulting in an enhanced wear rate of the composite materials. The coefficient of friction shows similar values for all materials of investigation, increasing from 0.25…0.3 at room temperature to 0.7…0.8 $600^{\circ}C$. The wear of the $Al_2O_3$/SiC system is mainly abrasive at temperatures above room temperature and is characterised by an enhanced wear of the alumina ball at $600^{\circ}C$.

In the present work, the evolution rules for the internal variables including continuum damage factors are obtained using the thermodynamic framework, which are in turn facilitated to derive the elastic-plastic constitutive relation for the particulate composites. Using the Mori-Tanaka scheme, the homogenization on state and internal variables such as back-stress and damage factors is carried out to procure the rate independent plasticity relations. Moreover, the degradation of mechanical properties of constituents is depicted by the distinctive damages such that the phase and interfacial damages are treated individually accordingly, whereas the kinematic hardening is depicted by combining the Armstrong-Frederick and Phillips' back-stress evolutions. On the other hand, the present constitutive relation for each phase is expressed in terms of the respective damage-free effective quantities, then, followed by transformation into the damage affected overall nominal relations using the aforementioned homogenization concentration factors. An emphasis is placed on the qualitative analyses for strain localization by observing the perturbation growth instead of the conventional bifurcation analyses. It turns out that the proposed constitutive model offers a wide range of strain localization behavior depending on the evolution of various internal variable descriptions.

As the interface bonding phenomenon between the matrix and the reinforcements has a large effect on the mechanical properties of MMCs, a sugestion of the strength analysis technique considering the residual stress and the interface bonding phenomenon is very important for the design of pans and the estimation of fatigue behavior. In this paper the three dimensional finite element anaysis is performed during the elasto-plastic deformation of the particulate reinforced metal matrix composites. It was analyzed with the volume fractions in view of microscale. Bonding strength. interface separation and matrix void growth between the matrix and the reinforcements will be predicted on deformation under tensile loading. An interface seperation is estimated by the fracture criterion which is a critical value of generalized plastic work per unit volume. The shape of the reinforcement is assumed to be a perfect sphere. And the type of the reinforcement distribution is assumed as FCC array. The thermal residual stress in MMCs is induced by the heat treatment. It is included at the simulation as an initial residual stress. The element birth and death method of the ANSYS program is used for the estimation of the interface bonding strength, void generation and propagation. It is assumed that the fracture in the matrix region begin to occur under the external loading when the plastic work per unit volume is equal to the critical value. The fracture strain will be defined. The experimental data of the extruded $SiC_p$>/606l Al composites are compared with the theoretical results.

본 연구에서는 입자강화 복합재료의 파괴에너지와 변위장 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 재료가 노출될 수 있는 온도인 상온, $-40^{\circ}C$와 $-60^{\circ}C$에서 쐐기쪼갬 시험을 수행하여 각 온도에 따른 재료의 파괴에너지를 산출하였다. 변위장과 변형률장은 DIC법을 활용하여 가시화 하였으며, 변위장은 DIC를 이용한 표시추적방법에 의해 측정하였다. 시험 결과, 온도가 낮아질수록 파괴에너지는 감소하였다. 표면 변위장은 상온과 $-40^{\circ}C$에서 유사하였고, $-60^{\circ}C$에선 입자강화 복합재료의 취성거동으로 인하여 크게 감소하였다. 변형률장에선 온도가 내려갈수록 전체적인 변형률범위가 감소하였다.

무가압함침법에 의한 $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A 복합재료의 제조와, 제조법과 관련하여 부가적인 Mg의 첨가와 강화상의 부피분율이 $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A복합재료의 기계적 성질과 마모저항에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 강화상 입자와 기지재료의 일부를 분말로 조합한 혼합분말 속으로 기지금속을 자발적으로 침투시켜 부피분율이 20~40%인 $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A 복합재료를 제조할 수 있었다. 그러나 강화상의 부피분율이 40%인 복합재료의 경우 기공율의 상승으로 복합재료의 강도는 저하하였다. Mg의 첨가량이 5~7wt% 일 때 가장 높은 강도를 나타냈으며, 경도는 Mg 첨가량의 증가에 따라 점진적으로 상승하였다. $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A복합재료는 저속에서 기지재료에 비해 내마모성이 저하하였으나, 고속에서는 AC8A합금에 비해 약 5.5배의 우수한 내마모성을 나타냈다. 마모기구의 관찰에 의해 부피분율 20% $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A복합재료의 경우 연삭마모가 주된 마모기구임을 알 수 있었으며, 부피분율 40% $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A복합재료는 높은 기공율로 인한 마모 가중으로 저속에서도 경미한 응착마모가 관찰됐고 마찰 속도가 증가함에 따라 격심한 마모로 진행되었다.
