Adhesive joints have been widely used for fastening thin adherends because they can distribute the load over a larger area than mechanical joints, require no hole, add very little weight to the structure and have superior fatigue resistance. However, the fatigue characteristics of adhesive joints are much affected by applied pressure during curing operation because actual curing temperature is changed by applied pressure and the adhesion characteristics of adhesives are very sensitive to manufacturing conditions. In this study, cure monitoring and torsional fatigue tests of adhesive joints with an epoxy adhesive were performed in order to investigate the effects of the applied pressure during curing operation. From the experiments, it was found that the actual curing temperature increased as the applied pressure increased, which increased residual thermal stress in the adhesive layer. Therefore, the fatigue life decreased as the applied pressure increased because the mean stress during fatigue tests increased due to the residual thermal stress.

In This study, we tried to review an efficient curing method in consideration of safety and constructability among the problems of winter construction. In other words, as a result of the mock-up test, the measured value of carbon monoxide was 0 ppm in the case of an electric hot air fan. Since there is no carbon monoxide, problems such as suffocation are expected to be solved. In terms of temperature characteristics, electric hot air fans exhibited high thermal efficiency performance with a slight difference in upper/lower temperatures compared to the existing ones. In the future, we plan to conduct thermal efficiency evaluation through actual site performance verification. We will propose an efficient curing method through applicability evaluation.

A new composite manufacturing technique which combines winding and curing together is studied and analyzed. This method is especially suited to the manufacture of thick composite materials in which thermal spiking is a common problem. An experimental apparatus was designed and built for use with a filament winder to continuously cure a thick composite cylinder. A hoop-wound composite cylinder with 152 mm wall thickness was manufactured and embedded thermocouples and strain gages were monitored throughout the cure process. The experimental data were compared with analytical results.

For cold weather concreting, frost damage at early age is generated in the concrete, and problems such as delaying of setting and hardening and lowering of strength manifestation emerge due to the low outside air temperature at the early stage of pouring, making the selection of an effective curing method critically important. Unfortunately, the tent sheet currently used as the curing film for heating insulation at work sites, not only has the problems of inferior permeability and extremely deteriorated airtightness, but a phenomenon of continuous fracturing is also generated along the direction of fabric of the material itself, presenting difficult circumstances for maintaining adequate curing temperature. The aim of this study was to develop an improved bubble sheet type curing film for heating insulation of cold weather concrete by combining mesh-tarpaulin, which has excellent tension properties, with bubble sheet, which offers superior insulation performance. The analysis showed that the improved curing film in which BBS1 is stacked to MT was a suitable replacement for curing films currently in use, as it has better permeability, tension property, and insulation performance than the T type film used at work sites today.

In winter, low outdoor temperature can casue reduction of concrete strength. Therefore, thermal protection is required when curing concrete in winter to maintain a certain level or higher surface temperature. Accordingly, in domestic construction sites, a curing method in which surrounds casting areas by tents and operates hot air blowers are widely applied. However, local low-temperature areas may occur due to airtightness of the curing tents. If additional heat is supplied to prevent occurrence of local low-temperature areas, energy consumption increases. Therefore in this study, a plan for improvement method of concrete curing was considered and the performance was evaluated through numerical analysis. A plan to improve the airtightness of the wall opening was applied, but the analysis showed that if only a part of the curing area is shielded, the temperature of the unshielded area decreases,making it inappropriate to improve curing performance.

In this work, the cure cycle of co-cured metal/composite structure was investigated to decrease fabricating thermal residual stresses between the metal and the composite material. DSC (Differential scanning calorimetry) experiment and static lap shear test of co-cured aluminum/composite double lap joint as well as the curvature experiment of co-cured steel/composite strip were performed to investigate the effect of curing cycle on the thermal residual stress of co-cured hybrid structures. From the experiments, it was found that post curing method after abrupt cooling of co-cured aluminum/composite hybrid structure at certain point of degree of cure during curing process could eliminate fabricating the thermal residual stresses.

The effects of post curing conditions on thermal properties of alumina filled epoxy resin system DGEBA/MDA/SN were investigated. As the post curing time increased at 15$0^{\circ}C$, the glass transition temperature increased from 121 to 124, slightly. As the heating rate increased, high thermal decomposing temperature (T$_{d}$) and most decomposing temperature (T$_{p}$) increased. For the case of post-cured system at 15$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 days showed lower values than virgin system. At the post curing condition the system must have been thermally degraded.ded.

Looking at recent construction cases at winter construction sites, there is a risk that heat sources such as kerosene fans and fossil fuels (brown coal, molded carbon) used in concrete will cure rapidly, so in situations where further curing is impossible after formwork removal, the outer wall and the entire slab are exposed to rapid external deterioration, resulting in delays in concrete strength expression and until collapse accidents. In this study, we applied kerosene fans and tropical circulating electric heat fans mainly used as curing heat sources at construction sites, comparative analysis. also verified the performance of structures during concrete curing due to thermal convention / circulation performance, concrete demand strength expression, and implementation of electric heat fans by heavy disaster methods.

The effect of novel N-crotyl-N,N-dimethyl-4-methylanilinium hexafluroantimonate (CMH) curing agent on cure behavior and thermal properties of DGEBA epoxy cationic system was investigated. From DSC measurements of DGEBA/CMH system, it was shown that this system exhibits an excellent thermal latent characteristic in a given temperature and reveals complex cure behavior as indicated by multiple exotherms. The conversion and conversion rate of DGEBA/CMH system increased with increasing the concentration of initiator due to high activity of CMH. Viscoelastic properties during gel formation of DGEBA with CMH were investigated by rheological techniques under isothermal condition. The gel time obtained from the modulus crossover. point t(G')=G", was affected by high curing temperature and concentration of CMH, resulting in high degree of network formation in cationic polymerization. The thermal stabilities were discussed in terms of the activation energy for decomposition and thermal factors determined from TGA measurements.ents.
