Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic(CFRP) composite with a higher specific strength and rigidity is more excellent than conventional metallic materials or other organic polymer of FRP. It has been widely used in vehicles, aerospaces and high technology industries which are associated with nuclear power fields. However, CFRP laminated composite has several disadvantages as like a delamination, matrix brittleness and anisotropic fibers that are the weak points of the crack initiation. In this present work, the reinforced silicon carbide(SiC) particles were added to the interlayer of CFRP laminates in order to mitigate the physical vulnerability affecting the cracking and breaking of the matrix in the CFRP laminated composite because of excellent specific strength and thermal shock resistance characteristics of SiC. The 1wt% of SiC particles were spread into the CFRP prepreg by using a spray coating method. After that, CFRP prepregs were laminated for the specimen. Also, the twill woven type CFRP prepreg was used because it has excellent workability. Thus the mechanical and fracture behaviors of the twill woven CFRP laminated composite reinforced with SiC particles were investigated with the acoustic emission(AE) method under a fracture test. The results show that the SiC particles enhance the mechanical and fracture characteristics of the twill CFRP laminate composite.

The light weight composite materials have been replacing in high performance structures. The object of this study is to examine the effects of the initial crack location about a delamination in a PVC foam cored sandwich composite that is used for the strength improvement of structures. The initial crack location and fiber laminates thickness were changed with several types. The MMB specimen was used for evaluating the fracture toughness and crack behaviors. The material used in the experiment is a commercial twill carbon prepreg in CFRP material and Airex in PVC foam core. Sandwich laminate composites are composed by PVC foam core layer between CFRP face sheets. The face sheets were fabricated as 2 types of 5 and 8 plies. The initial cracks were located in a PVC form core and the interface of upper CFRP sheet. From the results, the crack initiation was affected with the location of the initial crack inserted in the PVC foam core. Among them, the initial crack at 1/3 of the upper part of the PVC foam core was the most rapid progression. And the critical energy release rate was $0.40kJ/m^2$, which is the lowest value when the initial crack was inserted into the interface between a PVC foam core and CFRP laminated with 5 plies. Meanwhile, the highest value of $1.27kJ/m^2$ was obtained when the initial crack was located at the center line in case of the 8 plies.

본 논문에서는 탄소섬유강화플라스틱 면재와 알루미늄 샌드위치 심재를 가지는 복합재 샌드위치의 제조와 3절점 굽힘 실험에 대해 연구하였다. 시편은 3가지 하니컴 종류(3.18 mm, 4.76 mm, 6.35 mm의 셀 크기)와 3가지 곡률 반지름(평판, r = 1.6 m, r = 1.3 m)을 가지도록 제작하였다. 샌드위치 곡률의 기준은 W-방향을 기준으로 제작 하였다. CFRP $2{\times}2$ 트윌의 인장에서 기계적 물성치(탄성계수, 강도, 푸아송 비)를 측정하여 그 값들을 다른 CFRP 섬유 적층판의 값과 비교하였다. 실험결과 평판 샌드위치 패널의 3절점 굽힘 실험에서 심재의 전단강도는 공개된 데이터에 비해 11-30% 낮게 나왔다. 제한된 시편 크기에서 1.3미터 곡률을 가지는 패널은 평판 패널에 비해 심재의 극한 전단강도가 0.8-3.8% 감소한 것으로 나타났다.
