The using of composite material is an aviation field but it changes into a general industry. Especially composites are expanding the use on transportation vehicles like automobiles, ships, and aircrafts. The main factor of this expansion is high specific strength. It can supply a high quality and efficiency of energy. But manufacturing of composite products requires many raw materials and tooling cost for special process, so we needs a reduction of these costs to achieve best efficiency. In the present study, we contrast the change of mechanical and physical properties between VaRTM(Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) and hand lay-up process. VaRTM process can offer a high quality the same as autoclave products, and low cost like hand lay-up process. In the results of mechanical tests, VaRTM specimen is stronger than hand lay-up specimen and hand lay-up specimen became delamination. In the results of physical tests, the resin content of VaRTM specimen is lower than hand lay-up specimen. On micrograph, the strength of specimen by VaRTM between fiber and resin is stronger than that of one by hand lay-up. And the specimen by hand lay-up contains more defects than one by VaRTM. So, VaRTM process can practically apply for automobile engine hood. This paper shows that VaRTM process is one of the most suitable processes for composite parts of automobile.

Real time health monitoring system was studied to detect the . generation of defects in the composite structures during service life. The PZT sensors were embedded into the woven-glass/phenol composite plate during the fabrication. VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) process were used to fabricate the composite plate. A Teflon tape was embedded between glass fiber layers to mimic delamination induced during service. Normalized maximum amplitude and energy analyses were used for the acquired signals. Both amplitude and energy of acquired signals were extremely sensitive to the delamination. Therefore, it was successful to detect and to locate the defects in composite plate by monitoring signals from sensors and using the proposed method.

VARTM공정에서는 수지유동을 빠르게 하기 위해 투과촉진층이 사용되는데 투과촉진층과 섬유층 사이의 수지 속도차가 크다. VARTM제품은 길이에 비해서 두께가 얇으나 두 가지 다른 유통 매질 사이에 발생하는 lead-lag 유통을 관찰하기 위해서는 두께 방향을 고려한 3차원해석이 요구된다. 그런데 3차원 해석에 있어서 계산 시간이 문제가 된다. 일반 PC로 절점수가 많은 3차원 문제를 해석하려면 오랜 시간이 소요되므로 비실용적이다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 dual-scale 기법을 도입하여 전체 영역은 2.5차원으로 해석하고 주요한 관심 영역만을 3차원으로 해석하였다. 2.5차원 시뮬레이션만으로 예측하기 어려운 lead-lag 유동과 같은 특이한 유동 경향을 국부적인 3차인 해석을 통해서 발견학 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 global-local 해석기술은 일반 PC에서 적당한 계산 시간 내에 균일하지 않은 유동 매질 사이를 지나는 유동흐름의 특성 분석에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.

This study investigated the effect of water absorption on the tensile properties of carbon-glass/epoxy hybrid composites at room temperature and $-30^{\circ}C$. To investigate the effect of the position of glass fabric in the hybrid composite on the tensile properties, the stacking pattern of the fiber fabrics for reinforcing was created in three different ways: (a) glass fabrics sandwiched between carbon fabrics, (b) carbon fabrics sandwiched between glass fabrics and (c) alternative layers of carbon and glass fabrics. They were manufactured by a vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. The results showed that there was surprisingly little difference in tensile strength at the two different temperatures with dry and wet conditions. However, the water absorption into the hybrid system affected the tensile properties of the hybrid composites at RT and $-30^{\circ}C$. When the glass fabrics were at the outermost layers, the hybrid composite had the lowest tensile properties. This is attributed to the fact that the composite had a relatively high water absorption rate.

본 논문에서는 이론적인 계산 모델을 이용하여 다양한 섬유 다발 구조를 갖는 직조섬유강화 복합재의 탄성 거동을 예측하였다. 직조 복합재의 기계적 물성을 대표할 수 있는 대표체적요소 (RVE)을 설정하였으며, 직조 다발의 굴곡을 다양한 정현파 함수로 정의하였다. 고전적층이론 (CLPT)를 이용하여 영률, 전단 탄성계수, 포아송비와 같은 직조복합재의 유효물성을 예측하였다. 섬유 다발의 구조와 형태 (평직, 능직)에 따라 섬유 부피 분율을 계산하였으며 각각의 탄성 거동을 이론적인 계산 모델을 통해 예측하였다. 또한, 이론적 예측 결과의 검증을 위해 진공수지주입(VARTM) 공정을 사용하여 평직 및 능직 형태의 복합재 시편을 제작 후 물성 시험을 진행하여 실험 결과를 이론적 예측 결과와 비교하였다. 결과적으로 직조 복합재의 탄성 거동에 대한 이론적 결과와 실험 결과 간에 매우 높은 정확도를 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
