본 연구에서는 차량의 승차감 향상을 위해 기존의 알루미늄 차량용 휠의 성능을 개선하고자 복합재료-알루미늄 하이브리드 휠을 제안하고 시제품을 제작하여 평가하였다. 유한요소해석 기법을 통해 알루미늄과 복합재료의 접착부에 대한 접착 길이와 접착 두께를 결정하고, 자동조심 및 접착 지그 역할을 할 수 있는 홈과 돌기 구조를 적용하였다. 차량용 복합재료-알루미늄 하이브리드 휠의 성능평가를 위해 다양한 실험을 유한요소해석을 통해 구현하고 안전성을 검토하였다. 복합재료 림 부의 성형을 위한 금형을 설계하고 진공백 성형방법으로 제작한 후 알루미늄 부와 접착을 하여 시제품을 완성하였다. 진동실험 결과, 동일한 형상의 알루미늄 휠보다 10% 가벼운 복합재료-알루미늄 하이브리드 휠의 경우 고유진동수가 16% 증가하였고, 감쇠능이 32% 증가하였다.

We have evaluated the structural integrity of a sandwich composite train roof structure that can be a lightweight, cost saving solution to large structural components for rail vehicles in design stages. The sandwich composite train roof structure was 11.45 meters long and 1.76 meters wide. The finite element analysis was used to calculate the stresses, deflections and natural frequencies of the sandwich composite train roof against the weight of air-conditioned system. The 3D sandwich finite element model was introduced to examine the structural behavior of the hollow aluminum extrusion frames joined to both sides of the sandwich composite train roof. The results shown that the structural performance of the sandwich composite train roof under loading conditions specified is satisfaction and the use of aluminum reinforced frame and aluminum honeycomb core is beneficial with regard to weight saving and structural performance in comparison with steel reinforced frame and polyurethane foam core. Also, we have manufactured prototype of sandwich composite train roof structure on the basis of analysis results.

In this study, an aluminum electric motor car with a modular front end made of composite materials is numerically evaluated applying the standard specifications for the urban EMU(Electric Multiple Unit) train. Structural analyses under compressive load, torsional load and free vibration satisfy the standard specifications, but analysis under normal load doesn't. By the way, the aluminum bodyshell of the car except the modular front end is almost same to that of the Korean standard EMU, which satisfy the standard specifications. It is presumed that the stiffness of the modular front end made of composite materials haves some influence on the strength of the aluminum bodyshell.

복합재료 구조물에서 조인트 부위는 매우 취약한 부분이다. 본 논문에서는 후판 알루미늄-알루미늄 조인트 및 복합재-알루미늄 조인트를 접착제로 접합하여 제작한 다음, 인장실험을 수행하여 파손형태를 고찰하였다. 또한, 항복 변형률에 기초한 수정 파손영역 이론을 제안하였으며, 파괴모드별 파손하중과 상호 비교하였다. 후판 알루미늄-알루미늄 조인트와 복합재-알루미늄 조인트의 파손강도를 동일한 파손기준값을 적용하여 예측하였으며, 제작된 14종류의 시편에서는 최대 19.3% 오차범위 내에서 파손강도를 예측할 수 있었다.

The aluminum alloy 6061-T6 has been successfully used in structural applications especially the pressure vessel of the Advanced Neutron Source research reactor. And aluminum alloys, including 6061-T6, have a face-centered-cubic crystals structure. Under normal circumstances face-centered-cubic crystal structures do not exhibit cleavage fractures even at very lo9w temperatures. In aluminum-based structures, plates frequently find use as connecting links. Mechanical fasteners are often utilized in instances where ease of application, familiarity with fabrication processes, and severe dynamic loading are of concern. Plates frequently find use as connecting elements in structures built from aluminum alloys. Many structural elements employ mechanical fasteners. Twenty and twenty aluminum alloy 6061-T6 plates, representing four different bolt patterns, were mechanically deformed. And variable materials such as A1 6061-T6, Al 2024-T3, Carbon/Epoxy, Glass/Epoxy Composite and Woven fiber composite, are used as patch materials. From this experiment, it has been shown that the strength of patch-repaired specimens is different with the patch materials.

A powder in sheath rolling method was applied to the fabrication of a carbon nano tube (CNT) reinforced aluminum composite. A 6061 aluminum alloy tube with outer diameter of 31 mm and wall thickness of 2 mm was used as a sheath material. A mixture of pure aluminum powder and CNTs with a volume content of 5% was filled in the tube by tap filling and then processed to an 85% reduction using multi-pass rolling after heating for 0.5 h at $400^{\circ}C$. The specimen was then further processed at $400^{\circ}C$ by multi-pass hot rolling. The specimen was then annealed for 1 h at various temperatures that ranged from 100 to $500^{\circ}C$. The relative density of the 5vol%CNT/Al composite fabricated using powder in sheath rolling increased with increasing of the rolling reduction, becoming about 97% after hot rolling under 96 % total reduction. The relative density of the composite hardly changed regardless of the increasing of the annealing temperature. The average hardness also had only slight dependence on the annealing temperature. However, the tensile strength of the composite containing the 6061 aluminum sheath decreased and the fracture elongation increased with increasing of the annealing temperature. It is concluded that the powder in sheath rolling method is an effective process for fabrication of CNT reinforced Al matrix composites.

우주 구조물을 위협하는 여러 요소들 중 MMOD(MicroMeteoroid and Orbital Debris)는 약 8~70km/s의 속도로 우주 구조물과 충돌하여 큰 피해를 주고 있다. 이러한 피해로부터 우주 구조물을 보호하기 위해서 현재 다양한 위플 쉴드가 연구, 적용되고 있다. 위플 쉴드에는 알루미늄이 주로 사용되고 있지만, 복합재료의 시용도 증가하고 있어 본 연구에서는 알루미늄과 복합 재료의 초고속 충돌 특성을 유한 요소 해석을 통해 비교하였다. 충격체는 직경 5.5mm인 알루미늄 2017-T4의 구를 사용하였고, 알루미늄 평판은 6061-T6, CFRP 평판은 T300/5208을 사용하였다. 충격체의 초기 충돌 속도는 1km/s이다. 충돌 후 충격체의 운동에너지는 알루미늄 평판의 경우 약 64J 감소하였고, CFRP 평판의 경우 약 63J 감소하였다. 비슷한 충돌 에너지 흡수 정도를 보이고 있지만, 밀도를 비교해 보았을 때 CFRP가 약 1.7배 가볍기 때문에 방탄 특성이 더 좋다고 할 수 있다.

Square tubes used for vehicle structure components have an important role on keeping its stiffness and preserving occupant safety in vehicle collision and rollover in which it experience axial collapse, bending collapse or both. Bending collapse, which absorbs kinetic energy of the impact and retains a survival space for the occupant, is a dominant failure mode in oblique collision and rollover. Thus, in this paper, the bending collapse characteristics such as the maximum bending moment and energy absorption capacity of the square tube replaced by light-weight material were evaluated and presented. The bending test of cantilever tubes which were fabricated with aluminum, GFRP and aluminum/ GFRP hybrid by co-curing process was performed. Then the maximum bending moment and the energy absorption capacity from the moment-angle curve were evaluated. Based on the test results, it was found that aluminum/ GFRP hybrid tube can show better specific energy absorption capacity compared to the pure aluminum or GFRP tube and can convert unstable collapse mode which may occur in pure GFRP tube to stable collapse mode like a aluminum tube in which plastic hinge is developed.

Composite material consists of more than two materials and make various kinds of composite materials by combining different single materials. Copper clad aluminum composite material is composed of Al and Cu, and it has already been put to practical use in Europe because of its economic benefits. This paper presents the interface bonding according to the variation of extrusion ratio and semi-angle die by observing the interface between Cu and Al using metal microscope. By that result, we can predict the conditions of the interface bonding according to the extruding conditions.
