In this wort. the effect of anodic oxidation on surface characteristics of high strength PAN-based carbon fibers is investigated in terms of surface and mechanical interfacial properties of the composites. As a result, the acidity of carbon fiber surfaces is increased, due to the development of oxygen functional groups in the presence of anodic oxidation. Also. it is found that the critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$) is improved in the oxidized fibers-reinforced composites. which can be attributed to the good wettability between fibers and epoxy resin matrix.

Titanium oxide films and powders are attached onto carbon cloths via RF reactive sputtering and an epoxy resin mixture, respectively. $TiO_2$/carbon composite materials were used to investigate the photoelectrochemical degradation of perchlorate ions in water. The energy band gaps of the RF-sputtered $TiO_2$ thin films ranged from 3.35-3.44 eV. A photocurrent of the powdered $TiO_2$ as illuminated by ultra-violet light for 30 min. was $2.79\;mA/cm^2$. Perchlorate ions in water were shown to be degradable by a UV-illuminated $TiO_2$ powder/carbon/Nafion/carbon composite.

The dynamic compliance characteristics of a prosthetic foot midgait are very important for natural performance in an amputee's gait and should be in a range that provides natural, stable walking. In this study, finite element analysis (FEA) and classical laminate theory were used to examine the mechanical characteristics of a carbon-epoxy composite laminate prosthetic foot as a function of variation in the lamination composition. From this analysis, an FEM model of a prosthetic keel, made from the composite material, was developed. The lamination composition of the keel was designed for improved stiffness. The prototype product was fabricated using an autoclave. Vertical loading response tests were performed to verify the simulation model. The results of the experiments were similar to those from simulations below the loading level of the gait, suggesting use of the proposed simulation model for prosthetic keel design.

Al2024-T3 판재에 카본/에폭시(carbon/epoxy) 라미네이트를 섬유배열 방향 $0^{\circ}$/$90^{\circ}$ 및 $\pm$$45^{\circ}$로 2 Plies 보강하여 CPAL(Carbon Patched ALuminum alloy)재를 제작하고, 응력비 R=0.2, 0.5에서 피로균열전파 실험을 실시하였다. X-Ray와 초음파 C-Scan 장비를 이용하여 A/2024-T3 판재의 균열과 CFRP 라미네이트 박리 거동을 조사하여 피로균열 지연 거동과 지연기구(mechanism)를 연구하였다. A/2024-T3 시험편에 비해서 CPAL 시험편은 피로균열전파속도가 현저하게 지연되었으며, 지연 정도는 $0^{\circ}$/$90^{\circ}$ CPAL이 $\pm$$45^{\circ}$ CPAL 시험편보다 크고, 응력비 R=0.2에서 응력비 R=0.5보다 크게 나타났다. CPAL 시험편의 피로균열 지연 효과는 균열후방의 박리 및 비박리 CFRP 라미네이트가 A/2024-T3 판재의 균열열림(COD)을 감소시키는 균열브리징미케니즘(crack bridging medhanism) 때문에 발생함을 확인하였다.

복합재료의 내부 결함 평가를 위해 일반적으로 적용되어온 초음파 C-스캔 기법은 섬유자동 배열을 통한 정밀 성형 공정에 적용하기에는 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 복합재료의 정밀 성형 공정 중에 발생되는 각종 내부 결함들을 비파괴적, 비접촉으로 평가하기 위한 새로운 하이브리드 초음파 평가 기법을 확립하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 초음파 산란 반사(scattering reflection) 방식을 토대로 한 새로운 이중 피치-캐치(dual pitch-catch) 기법을 확립하여 기존의 결함평가를 위해 시험편의 스캔에 소요되는 시간을 줄이면서 우수한 결함 영상을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 하이브리드 기법을 개발하였다. 즉 두 가지 종류의 열경화성 및 열가소성 복합재료(carbon/epoxy, carbon/PPS) 적층판의 내부 박리(delamination) 결함의 영상화를 위하여 레이저를 이용한 유도 초음파의 발생 및 이중 피치-캐치(pitch-catch)방식을 토대로 한 비접촉식 공기 정합 트랜스듀서(air-coupled transducer)를 이용하여 결함 영상을 얻기 위한 핵심 알고리즘을 확립하였다.

High quality and expedient processing repair methods are necessary to enhance the service life of bridge structures. Deterioration of concrete can occur as a result of structural cracks, corrosion of reinforcement, and freeze.thaw cycles. Cost effective methods with potential for field implementation are necessary to address the issue of the vulnerability of bridge structures and how to repair them. Most infrastructure related applications of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) use traditional hand lay-up technology. The hand lay-up is tedious, labor-intensive and relies upon personnel skill level. An alternative to traditional hand lay-up of FRP for infrastructure applications is Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM). VARTM uses single sided molding technology to infuse resin over fabrics wrapping large structures, such as bridge girders and columns. There is no work currently available in understanding the interface developed, when VARTM processing is adopted to wrap fibers such as carbon and/or glass over concrete structures. This paper investigates the interface formed by carbon fiber processed on to a concrete surface using the VARTM technique. Various surface treatments, including sandblasting, were performed to study the pull-off tensile test to find a potential prepared surface. A single-lap shear test was used to study the bond strength of CFRP fabric/epoxy composite adhered to concrete. Carbon fiber wraps incorporating Sikadur HEX 103C and low viscosity epoxy resin Sikadur 300 were considered in VARTM processing of concrete specimens.

If the fiber reinforced plastic is exposed to the moisture for a long period of time, most of moisture absorption occurs on the resin place, thus dropping cohesiveness between the molecules as the water molecules permeated between high molecular chains grant high molecular mobility and flexibility. Also as the micro crack occurs due to the permeation of moisture on the interface of glass fiber and epoxy resin, it is developed to the overall damage of interface place. Hence, the study on absorption is essential as the mechanical and physical properties of fiber reinforced composites are reduced. However, the study on absorption has the inconvenience needing to expose composite materials to fresh water or seawater for 1 month or up to 1 year. Therefore, this study has exposed fiber reinforced composites to fresh water and has developed a model with an accuracy of 98% after comparing the analysis value obtained by using ANSYS while basing on the experimental value of property decline by absorption and the basic properties of glass fiber and epoxy resin used in the experiment.

Various compressive specimens were fabricated using autoclave do-gassing moulding to find out the compressive characteristics of the carbon/epoxy plain weave fabric composites with respect to the bias and shear angles. The stacking angles of the bias specimens are $[0]_{10T,}\;[3]_{10T,}\;[6]_{10T,}\;[9]_{10T,}\;[12]_{10T,}\;[15]_{10T,}\;[30]_{10T,}\;[45]_{10T}$ and those of the sheared specimens are $[{\pm}37]_{10T,}\;[{\pm}32]_{10T,}\;[{\pm}28]_{10T,}\;[{\pm}22]_{10T,}$ respectively. In order to verify the effect of micro-tow structures on compressive strength and modulus of the composites, compressive test specimens of uni-directional carbon/epoxy composites with the same materials and the same stacking conditions were fabricated. The modulus and strength of both types of composite specimens were compared with the prediction results based on the CLPT and a proposed strength formula. The tow deformation and fracture modes were investigated by microscopic observation.

본 연구에서는 핀 하중 시험을 통해 열습환경이 탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재료에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 음향방출법을 적용하여 핀 체결부의 파손거동을 분석하였다. 열습환경이 적용된 핀 체결부 시편은 base (침수전), RT (상온침수), HT ($75^{\circ}C$침수)의 세 가지의 조건으로 구분하였다. 결과에 의하면 RT의 경우 base에 비해 베어링강도의 저하정도가 적지만 수분과 온도가 동시에 적용된 열습환경에 노출된 HT의 경우 베어링강도의 저하정도가 크게 나타났다. 또한 음향방출법을 적용하여 누적히트수를 분석한 결과에 따르면 열습을 고려한 경우가 base에 비해 모재균열에 의한 이벤트가 감소하는 경향이 나타났다.

In this paper, the impact damage behavior of USN-150B carbon/epoxy composite laminates subjected to high velocity impact was studied experimentally and numerically. Square composite laminates stacked with $[45/0/-45/90]_{ns}$ quasi-symmetric and $[0/90]_{ns}$ cross-ply stacking sequences and a conical shape projectile with steel core, copper skin and lead filler were considered. First high-velocity impact tests were conducted under various test conditions. Three tests were repeated under the same impact condition. Projectile velocity before and after penetration were measured by infrared ray sensors and magnetic sensors. High-speed camera shots and C-Scan images were also taken to measure the projectile velocities and to obtain the information on the damage shapes of the projectile and the laminate specimens. Next, the numerical simulation was performed using explicit finite element code LS-DYNA. Both the projectile and the composite laminate were modeled using three-dimensional solid elements. Residual velocity history of the impact projectile and the failure shape and extents of the laminates were predicted and systematically examined. The results of this study can provide the understanding on the penetration process of laminated composites during ballistic impact, as well as the damage amount and modes. These were thought to be utilized to predict the decrease of mechanical properties and also to help mitigate impact damage of composite structures.
