The purpose of this paper is to investigate the water environmental effect on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites. Moisture concentration absorbed in CFRP under various water environment was calculated and degradation of mechanical properties for each wet composite laminates is investigated by performing the flexual and tensile test. The results show that moisture absorption is accelerated in higher temperature environment and under the same temperature sea water environment prompts more absorption than fresh water. As increasing the water temperature and moisture concentration tensile and flexual strength decreased as much as 25%-40% compared with dry condition.

A nondestructive technique would be very useful. Advanced NDE T-ray (terahertz ray) techniques of technology and instrumentation has provided a probing field on the electromagnetic spectrum. However, the T-ray is limited in order to penetrate a conducting material to some degree. Here, the T-ray would not go through easily the CFRP composite laminates since carbon fibers are electrically conducting while the epoxy matrix is not. So, investigation of terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz TDS) was made and reflection and transmission configurations were studied for a 48-ply thermoplastic PPS(poly-phenylene sulfide)-based CFRP solid laminate. It is found that the electrical conductivity of CFRP composites depends on the direction of unidirectional fibers.

In the present study, the combined effects of thermal and mechanical loadings on the interlaminar shear stresses of both moderately thin and thick composite laminated beams are numerically analyzed. The finite element modelling of laminated composite beams and analysis of interlaminar stresses are performed using the commercially available software package MSC NASTRAN/PATRAN. The validity of the finite element analysis (FEA) is demonstrated by comparing the experimental test results obtained due to mechanical loadings under the influence of thermal environment with those derived using the present FEA. Various parametric studies are also performed to investigate the effect of thermal loading on interlaminar stresses generated in symmetric, anti-symmetric, asymmetric, unidirectional, cross-ply, and balanced composite laminated beams of different stacking sequences with identical mechanical loadings and various boundary conditions. It is shown that the elevated thermal environment lead to higher interlaminar shear stresses varying with the stacking sequence, length to thickness ratio, ply orientations under identical mechanical loading and boundary conditions of the composite laminated beams. It is realized that the magnitude of the interlaminar stresses along xz plane is always much higher than those of along yz plane irrespective of the ply-orientation, length to thickness ratios and boundary conditions of the composite laminated beams. It is also observed that the effect of thermal environment on the interlaminar shear stresses in carbon-epoxy fiber reinforced composite laminated beams are increasing in the order of symmetric cross-ply laminate, unidirectional laminate, asymmetric cross-ply laminate and anti-symmetric laminate. The interlaminar shear stresses are higher in thinner composite laminated beams compared to that in thicker composite laminated beams under all environmental temperatures irrespective of the laminate stacking sequence, ply-orientation and boundary conditions.

본 논문에서는 카본 블랙, 탄소나노섬유, 탄소나노튜브를 혼합한 유리섬유/에폭시 복합재료 적층판의 복소 유전율과 그 특성이 전자파 흡수체 설계에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험은 벡터회로망분석기와 7 mm 동축관을 이용하여 0.5 GHz$\sim$18 GHz의 주파수 영역에서 수행하였다. 실험결과는 복합재료의 복소 유전율이 첨가된 탄소나노소재의 함유율과 그 특성에 강하게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 복소 유전율의 실수부와 허수부는 탄소나노소재의 함유량에 따라 증가하지만, 탄소나노소재의 형태에 따라서 그 증가율이 모두 다르게 나타났다. 이러한 상이한 증가율은 단층형 흡수체의 설계에 있어서 두께에 영향을 준다. 이러한 영향은 단층형 흡수체를 설계하기 위한 복소 유전율의 해와 실험으로부터 얻은 세가지 종류의 복합재료의 복소 유전율을 함께 배치한 Cole-Cole 선도를 이용하여 평가되었다. 설계결과를 바탕으로 각각의 탄소나노소재를 이용하여 -10 dB의 흡수대역이 모두 3 GHz이면서 두께가 서로 다른 흡수체를 개발하였다.

본 논문에서는 Tsai-Wu 파손이론을 적용하여 복합재료 자전거 프레임의 경량화를 위한 강도설계에 대하여 연구하였다. 설계에 있어서 자전거 프레임의 경량화는 중요한 문제이며, 동시에 요구 강도를 만족시켜야 한다. 하중조건으로 유럽표준위원회의 EN14764 규격에 의거하여 페달, 수직, 레벨 하중조건을 적용하였다. 복합재료는 이방성을 가지므로 적절한 적층수 및 적층 순서를 결정하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 $[0]_{8n}$, $[90]_{8n}$, $[0/90]_{2ns}$, $[{\pm}45]_{2ns}$, $[0/{\pm}45/90]_{ns}$ 의 적층에 대하여 적층수를 변화시켜가며(n=1,2,3,4) 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과로부터 하중 조건에 따른 자전거 프레임의 취약부와 취약적층을 확인하였고, $[0/{\pm}45/90]_{3s}$ 이 가장 적절한 적층각 모델임을 제안하였다.
