VaRI(Vacuum assisted Resin Infusion) process, which is cost effective and suitable for manufacturing large-sized composites, is an OoA(Out-of Autoclave) process. For rapid resin infusion in the VaRI process, a DM(distribution media) is placed on top of the fabric. The resin is rapidly supplied in plane direction of the fiber along the DM, and then the supplied resin is impregnated in the out-of-plane direction of fiber. It is difficult to predict the flow of resin because the flow of in-plane direction and the out-of-plane direction occur together, and a 3D numerical analysis program is used to simulate the resin infusion process. However, in order to analyze in 3D, many elements are required in the out-of-plane direction of fabric. And the product size is larger, the longer the analysis time needs. Therefore, in this study, a method was suggested to reduce the time required for flow analysis by simplifying the 3D flow analysis to 2D flow analysis. The usefulness was verified by comparing the 3D flow analysis with the simplified 2D flow analysis at the same conditions. The filling time error was about 7% and the reduction of flow analysis time was about 95%. In addition, by utilizing the constant difference in the flow front between the top, middle, and bottom of the fabric of the 3D analysis, the flow front of the top, middle, and bottom of the fabric can be also predicted in the 2D flow analysis.

유리강화섬유(FRP,Fiber Reinforced Plastic)은 가볍고 내구성등이 우수하여 가공하기 쉬워 선박건조, 특히 어선의 건조재료로 많이 활용되고 있으나, FRP의 재료인 매트와 로빙이 인화성을 가진 수지와 접합되어 화재에는 매우 취약한 특성을 가지는 특성을 가진다. 최근 10년간의 중앙해양안전심판원의 어선화재 재결서 분석결과 전체의 약80%에 해당하는 화재사고가 기관실에서 발생하였다. 이에 새로 출범한 해양수산부는 FRP선박의 구조기준을 개정하여 총톤수10톤 이상 선박의 기관실에 대한 방화조치를 그 이하선박까지로 적용 확대하였으며, 어선구조기준 역시 행정규칙 행정예고를 통해 강화하려는 움직임을 보이고 있다. 본 지에서는 국내외 화재사고 발생현황 및 관련 규제 내용을 비교 분석하여 제시하였으며 분석결과, 일반선박의 방화조치에 대한 규제는 거의 유사하였으나 어선관련 규제의 경우, 영국의 규제가 가장 강화되어 있었으며 관련 화재사고 발생현황도 국내 및 일본과 비교해 보았을때 같은 기간 발생한 일반선의 화재발생척수 대비 어선의 화재발생척수가 적은것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The curing of thermoset resin is accompanied with the changes in chemical and physical properties. The cure monitoring techniques can be designed by tracing these property changes. This paper presents the cure monitoring technique with fiber optic sensors to detect the change of refractive index during the polymerization process of engineering epoxy resin. The fiber optic sensor system was developed to measure the reflection coefficient at the interface between the fiber optic and the resin. The correlation between the sensor output and the degree of cure was performed following Lorentz-Lorenz law. The isothermal data from the sensors are compared with the data from differential scanning calorimeter.

Retention of interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of polymer composites at cryogenic temperature application is very important. In this work, single carbon tiber reinforced epoxy compositc was used to evaluate IFSS and apparent modulus under room and cryogenic temperatures. The property change of carbon and selected epoxy for particularly cryogenic temperature application were tested in tension and compression. Tensile strength and elongation of carbon fiber decreased at cryogenic temperature, whereas tensile modulus was almost same. On the other hand, epoxy matrix showed the increased tensile strength but decreased elongation. It can be due to maximum thermal contraction existing free volume in cryogenic temperature. IFSS increased up to $-10^{\circ}C$ and then decreased steadily. However, IFSS at cryogenic temperature was still similar to that at room temperature. This result is very useful to cryogenic application since selected epoxy toughness and interfacial adhesion can keep at such low temperature.

This paper presents the slip behavior of composite fabrics by high speed resin flow in high pressure resin transfer molding. In order to observe the fiber deformation behavior, we constructed the measuring equipment for friction coefficient between fiber and mold, and the monitoring system for deformation of fiber preform in high-pressure RTM process. Coulomb friction coefficient and hydrodynamic friction coefficient between fiber preform and mold were measured and the external force induced by fluid flow causing the deformation of fiber preform was measured. Friction force calculated by friction coefficient and the external force upon fiber deformation were compared, which showed that preform deformation occurred when the external force was bigger than the friction force. The slip behavior of the fiber preform was mainly influenced by the volume fraction of fiber preform and the friction coefficient.

지형학적으로 다양한 형상을 가지고 있는 하천유역은 지역적 조건에 따라 뚜렷한 특징을 나타낸다. 이러한 조건은 하천유역의 발달 및 수문학적 특징에 영향을 미친다. 금회 연구는 여러 가지 유역의 특징 중 유역을 대표할 만한 특징을 이용하여 간단하고 유용한 하천 유역 분류 기법을 제시하였다. 하천유역의 여러 특징 중 지류교차각(Tributary Junction Angle)은 유역을 분석하기 위해 많이 사용되었으며 다른 특징들과 함께 유역 구분을 위해 분석되어 왔다. 하지만, 지류교차각만 이용하여 유역 분류를 제시하는 기법은 연구되지 않았다. 하천유역 분류 기법 제시를 위해 수지형 유역, 평행형 유역, 부채형 유역, 직사각형 유역, 격자형 유역 등 5가지의 형태를 중심으로 50개의 하천유역을 사용하였고, 지류교차각의 Beta Distribution 모델을 적용하여 매개변수 추정치 산정 후 유역 분류를 위한 분석을 실시하였다. 매개변수 추정치는 각 유역 형태 구분을 위해 적용되었고, 이후 Support Vector Machines를 이용하여 하천유역 형태를 분류하도록 하였다. 분석을 통한 결과는 일반적인 통계기법과 다른 유역형태 구분 기법을 이용하여 검증하였다. 제안된 기법은 수지형, 평행형, 부채형 유역 형태들에 대하여 정확하게 분류할 수 있으며, 얻어지는 결과는 중요한 수문학적 정보 제공에 사용 될 것으로 판단된다. 금회 연구를 통해 Beta 분포형의 매개변수 추정치는 하천유역 분류 적용에 유용하게 사용 될 수 있음을 확인하였고, 하나의 주요 유역 인자로 유역 구분이 가능함을 제시하였다. 향후 연구로는 하천유역 분류를 통해 수문학적인 동질 유역을 구분하여 수문모델의 수행능력을 향상 시킬 수 있는 수문모델 분석과 개발에 적용 될 수 있을 것이다.

In resin transfer molding(RTM), race-track effects and non-uniform fiber volume fraction may cause undesirable resin flow patterns and thus result in dry spots, which affect the mechanical properties of the finished parts. In this study, a real time RTM control strategy to reduce these unfavorable effects is proposed. This control rule is accomplished by means of the permeability mapping and pressure regulation. Through numerical simulations, the validity of the proposed scheme is demonstrated.

The objective of this study is to develop the mechanical properties of an AlSiCu aluminum alloy using the two-step solution heat treatment. The microstructure of the gravity casting specimen represents a typical dendrite structure with a secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) of 40 um. In addition to the Al matrix, a large amount of coarsen eutectic Si phase, $Al_2Cu$ intermetallic phase, and Fe-rich phases is generated. The eutectic Si phases are fragmented and globularized with the solution heat treatment. The $Al_2Cu$ intermetallic phase is also resolutionized into the Al matrix. The $2^{nd}$ solution temperature at $525^{\circ}C$ may be an optimal condition to enhance the mechanical properties of the AlSiCu aluminum alloy.

Dicyclopentadiene is a low viscosity resin which forms a poly-dicyclopentadiene rapidly through ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). This poly-dicyclopentadiene has outstanding properties of low-temperature, water and impact resistances. Due to these advantages, military and offshore structures try to apply the DCPD composites by using liquid composite molding process. In this study, 14%, 38% volume fraction fiber glass strand mat reinforced p-DCPD composites processed by structural reaction injection molding (S-RIM) which has resin-catalsyt mixing head and glass fiber preform in the mold. Additionally, S-RIM numerical analysis was conducted to predict the process time depending on fiber volume fraction and mold temperature. The process time is shorter when it has the lower fiber volume fraction or the higher mold temperature. At higher mold temperature, it is necessary to set the maximum mold temperature considering the resin curing time.
