In this study, an investigation on mechanical properties of flax natural fiber composite is performed as a precedent study on the design of eco-friendly structure using flax natural fiber composite. The Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding-Light (VARTML) manufacturing method is adopted for manufacturing the flax fiber composite panel. The VARTML is a manufacturing process that the resin is injected into the dry layered-up fibers enclosed by a rigid mold tool under vacuum. In this work, the resin flow analysis of VARTM manufacturing method is performed. A series of flax composite panels are manufactured, and several kinds of specimens cut out from the panels are tested to obtain mechanical performance data. Based on this, structural design of chemical storage tank for agricultural vehicle was performed using flax/vinyl ester. After structural design and analysis, the resin flow analysis of VARTM manufacturing method was performed.

Active control of solar panels with honeycomb core and carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) facesheets for smart structures using piezoelectric patch sensor and actuator to reduce the amplitude of vibration is a lack of the previous study and it is the novelty of this research. Of active control elements are piezoelectric patches which act as sensors and actuators in many systems. Their low power consumption is worth mentioning. Thus, deriving a simple and efficient model of piezoelectric patch's elastic, electrical, and elastoelectric properties would be of much significance. In the present study, first, to reduce vibrations in composite plates reinforced by carbon nanotubes, motion equations were obtained by the extended rule of mixture. Second, to simulate the equations of the system, up to 36 mode shape vectors were considered so that the stress strain behavior of the panel and extent of displacement are thoroughly evaluated. Then, to have a more acceptable analysis, the effects of external disturbances (Aerodynamic forces) and lumped mass are investigated on the stability of the system. Finally, elastoelectric effects are examined in piezoelectric patches. The results of the present research can be used for micro-vibration suppression in satellites such as solar panels, space telescopes, and interferometers and also to optimize active control panel for various applications.

국내에서의 지진과 같은 자연재해의 발생횟수가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 재해, 재난 환경에 적합한 임시거주공간 혹은 피난시설의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경량 복합패널을 이용하여 기존 피난시설과는 차별화된 구호주거를 제작하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경량 복합패널에 대한 구조적 성능을 검증하고자 하였으며, 패널에 대한 성능 시험 방법 중 ASTM E72 기준에 따른 면내 전단 강도 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 각 실험체가 면내 하중을 받을 때의 최대하중을 알아내었다. 모든 실험체는 가력 부분의 패널이 찢어지면서 실험이 종료되었다. 실험체의 초기 강성은 계산을 통해 예측한 강성과 일치하였다. 하지만 패널의 특성인 국부적인 찌그러짐과 찢어짐으로 인해 강성저하와 최종파괴가 발생하였다. 개구부가 있는 실험체들은 개구부의 위치와 형태에 따라 기본 실험체와 강성과 강도에서 차이를 보였다. 또한 모든 실험 결과를 종합하여 패널이 받는 최대하중과 힘을 받는 면적이 비례한다는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 실험체들의 극한전단응력을 계산하였으며, 평균 극한전단응력을 산정하였다. 경량 복합패널의 평균 극한전단응력은 $0.047N/mm^2$이며, 이 값을 통해 패널의 면적에 따른 허용하중을 합리적으로 예측할 수 있는 근거를 제시하였다.

One of the important problems of concrete placing is the concrete compaction, which can affect the strength, durability and apparent quality of the hardened concrete. Therefore, vibrating operations might be accompanied by much noise and the need for training the involved workers, while inappropriate functioning can result in many problems. One of the most important methods to solve these problems is to utilize self-compacting cementitious composites instead of the normal concrete. Due to their benefits of these new materials, such as high tensile, compressive, and flexural strength, have drawn the researchers' attention to this type of cementitious composite more than ever. In this experimental investigation, six mixing designs were selected as a base to acquire the best mechanical properties. Moreover, forty-eight rectangular composite panels with dimensions of 300 mm × 400 mm and two thickness values of 30 mm and 50 mm were cast and tested to compare the flexural and impact energy absorption. Steel fibers with volume fractions of 0%, 0.5% and 1% and with lengths of 25 mm and 50 mm were imposed in order to prepare the required cement composites. In this research, the composite panels with two thicknesses of 30 mm and 50 mm, classified into 12 different groups, were cast and tested under three-point flexural bending and repeated drop weight impact test, respectively. Also, the examination and comparison of flexural energy absorption with impact energy absorption were one of the other aims of this research. The obtained results showed that the addition of fibers of longer length improved the mechanical properties of specimens. On the other hand, the findings of the flexural and impact test on the self-compacting composite panels indicated a stronger influence of the long-length fibers.

In this paper, an effective procedure is presented for the local recovery of displacements and stresses in multilayered composite panels, which incorporate the local refinement using mesh superposition. The mesh superposition method is used to refine the global coarse mesh by superimposing refined mesh to the localized zone of interest without transition zones. The finite element model used is a solid element based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle. The a posteriori computation of the through-the-thickness distributions of displacements and stresses is achieved using a predictor-corrector procedure. The procedure utilizes the superconvergent stresses and nodal displacements of the finite element patch. The element patch is generated by locally superimposing a refined local mesh to the coarse global mesh.

This paper addresses a modified arc-length method for the nonlinear finite element analysis of a structure which is loaded in incremental and fixed forces, simultaneously. The main idea of the method is to separate the displacement term by the constant force from that by the incremental force. As the illustrative examples of the applicability of the present algorithm, a parametric study is performed on the nonlinear buckling behavior of composite cylindrical panels under the combined load of the incremented compression and the constant lateral pressure.

본 연구에서는 벽 패널의 부분 합성거동 해석에 대하여 거론한다. 기 발표된 목재 바닥 시스템으로부터 유도된 처짐공식을 소개하고, 이 공식을 적용하여 석고보드와 강재 샛기둥으로 결합된 합성벽 패널의 중앙지점 처짐값을 산정한다. 나사연결부의 불완전성(미끄럼), 국부좌굴, 샛기둥 복부의 개구부, 그리고 인접 석고보드간의 불연속으로 야기 될 수 있는 강성의 감소 등을 처짐공식에 적절히 반영하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 적용된 처짐공식으로 산정된 처짐 기대치와 실험 관측치간의 비교에서는, 나사연결부의 상한 강성치를 사용한 처짐 기대치가 실험 관측치와 가장 근접한 결과를 보였다.

The postbuckling compressive strengths of $[0/90/\pm\theta]_s$ composite laminated cylindrical panels with various fiber angles and width-to-length ratios are characterized by the nonlinear finite element method. For the iteration and load-increment along the postbuckling equilibrium path a modified arc-length method in which the effect of failure can be considered is introduced. In the progressive failure analysis the maximum stress criterion and complete unloading model are used. Present finite element results show good agreement with experiments for $[0_3/90]_s$ cylindrical panel and $[0/\pm45/90/]_s$ plate. The postbuckling compressive strength of $[0/90/\pm\theta]_s$ composite laminated cylindrical panel is independent of the initial buckling stress but high in the panel with large value of the bending stiffness in axial direction. In the several cylindrical panels, it is observed that the prebuckling compressive failures occur and result into the collapse before the buckling.
