With the contact angle of phase dropping epoxy resin on the inorganic filler(glass plate) surface treated with air plasma, we have studied about the interfacial wettability between epoxy resin and glass plate as a simple model of glass fiber reinforced composite materials. The contact angle on the inorganic filler surface varied with surface treatment conditions. The contact angle significantly depends on plasma treating time and environment temperature in the oven. From the view point of plasma treatment condition in this work, when discharge conditions were pressure 200mtorr, voltage 800V, magnetic flux density 8OGauss, optimum treatment time were proved as 3,4 and 5 minutes for the environment of >$80^{\circ}C$, >$100^{\circ}C$ and >$120^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The natural fibre composites are termed as bio-composites. They have shown a promising replacement to the current carbon/glass fibre reinforced composites as environmental friendly materials in specific applications. Natural fibre reinforced composites are potential materials for various engineering applications in automobile, railways, building and Aerospace industry. The natural fibre selected to fabricate the composite material is plant-based fibre e.g., sisal fibre. Sisal fibre is a suitable reinforcement for use in composites on account of its low density, high specific strength, and high hardness. Epoxy is a thermosetting polymer which is used as a resin in natural fibre reinforced composites. Hand lay-up technique was used to fabricate the composites by reinforcing sisal fibres into the epoxy matrix. Composites were prepared with the unidirectional alignment of sisal fibres. Test specimens with different fibre orientations were prepared. The fabricated composites were tested for mechanical properties. Impact test, tensile test, flexural test, hardness test, compression test, and thermal test of composites had been conducted to assess its suitability in industrial applications. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) test revealed the microstructural information of the fractured surface of composites.

복합재료가 피로하중을 받으면 재료 내부에 손상이 누적되며, 이는 재료의 물성 변화로 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 손상을 나타내는 인자로 피로계수를 사용하였다. 피로계수와 참고계수로 정의되는 손상함수로부터 복합재료의 피로수명 예측을 이론적으로 연구하였다. 제안된 모델들은 인가 응력 수준, 피로주기 및 피로수명의 함수로 유도하였다. 예측 결과는 유리섬유/에폭시 복합재료와 유리섬유/폴리에스터 복합재료를 사용한 다중응력 피로 실험 데이터를 이용하여 검증하였다.

It has been argued that fracture energy of composite laminates depends on their thickness and number of layers. In this paper a modified direct energy balance approach (DEBA) has been developed to evaluate the mode-II shear fracture energy for E-glass/Epoxy laminates from finite element model at an arbitrary thickness. This approach considers friction and damage/plasticity deformations using cohesive zone modeling (CZM) and nonlinear finite element modeling. The presence of compressive stress and resulting friction was argued to be a possible cause for the thickness dependency of fracture energy. In the finite element modeling, CZM formulation has been developed with bilinear cohesive constitutive law combined with friction consideration. Also ply element have been developed with shear plastic damage model. Modified direct energy balance approach has been proposed for estimation of mode-II shear fracture energy. Experiments were performed on laminates of glass epoxy specimens for characterization of material parameters and determination of mode-II fracture energies for different thicknesses. Effect of laminate thickness on fracture energy of transverse crack tension (TCT) and end notched flexure (ENF) specimens has been numerically studied and comparison with experimental results has been made. It is shown that the developed numerical approach is capable of estimating increase in fracture energy due to size effect.

극저온 온도에서 최적복합재료물성치의 사전 연구로서, 실온과 저온, 즉 $25^{\circ}C$와 $-10^{\circ}C$에서 카본 혹은 유리섬유가 함침된 에폭시 복합재료의 계면 물성치가 미세역학인 시험법을 사용하여 평가되었다. 인장과 압축하중 조건에서 저온에서의 기계적인 강성도가 상온에서의 강성도보다 증대하였다. 실온과 저온에서의 계면전단강도가 에폭시 기지의 인성과 겉보기 강성도를 사용하여 상호 비교하였다. 기지의 강성도 향상으로 인해 계면전단강도가 실온보다 저온에서 높게 나타났다. 유리와 카본 섬유의 인장 강도들의 통계적인 분포가 다른 온도의 범위 평가되었고, 이것들은 섬유의 고유결함과 견고함에 의해서 결정된다.

Electrical properties such as permittivity and tan$\delta$ of unaged (control) and aged (72 h at 18$0^{\circ}C$) mica/epoxy composites of 130 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness were measured and their surface conditions were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Both permittivity and tan6 of control specimens were higher than those of short-time aged specimens. FTIR results show a new peak at 1710 $cm^{-1}$ / for short-time aged specimens, originating from carbonyl group formed by the oxidation reaction during the aging process. ESCA results show that the binding energy at 532.9 eV representing the singlet state of oxygen ( $O_{1s}$) decreases by 13.7%, whereas that at 534.6 eV increases by 13.7%. Glass transition temperatures of control and short-time aged specimens are observed to be 95.4$^{\circ}C$ and 113.4$^{\circ}C$, which increase with the increase of aging time. TGA results indicate that the control specimens contain a smaller amount of volatile components than the short-time aged specimens.s.

철근콘크리트 구조물의 보강에 자주 사용하는 탄소 섬유나 유리 섬유 대신에 이 두 가지 섬유를 동시에 사용하여 하이브리드 효과를 얻기 위한 연구를 시도하였다. 하이브리드 효과를 얻기 위해서는 탄소 섬유와 유리 섬유를 적절한 비율로 조합해야 되며, 이러한 비율로 제작된 실험체를 이용하여 하이브리드 FRP 직접 인장 실험을 수행할 수 있다. 하이브리드 FRP 실험체는 직조된 섬유 시트를 이용하는 현장과 다르게, 섬유를 직접 조합해야 하는 이유로 작업이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 고강도 탄소 섬유와 E형 유리 섬유의 조합에 따른 1축 직접 인장 실험체의 제작 방법을 제안하여 실험을 통하여 하이브리드 효과를 분석하였다. 하이브리드 FRP로 가장 적합한 섬유 조합은 연성 지수, 탄성계수 및 응력-변형률 곡선을 비교한 결과 연성 K형 에폭시를 사용한 유리 섬유 : 탄소 섬유 = 9 : 1(체적비)가 가장 적합한 것으로 평가되었다.

In this paper, through an evaluation process conducted on several designs of mini-LIPCA (Lightweight Piezo-Composite curved Actuator), an optimal design of a mini-LIPCA has been proposed. Comparing with the LIPCA-C2, the design of the mini-LIPCA comes with reduced overall size and a thinner active layer. Since a variation in the number and lay-up of fiber composite layers may strongly affect the performance of the device, one is able to configure several designs of mini-LIPCA. The evaluation process is then followed in order to determine a configuration which characterizes the possibly optimal performance. That is, a design of a mini-LIPCA is said to be optimal if it is capable of producing a maximum out-of-plane displacement. The size of the LIPCA to be investigated was selected to be $10\;mm\;{\times}\;20\;mm$ in which the thickness of PZT plate is about 0.1 mm. The thickness of glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy are about 0.09 mm and 0.1 mm, respectively. The evaluation process has been conducted thoroughly, i.e., analytical estimation, numerical approximation and the experimental measurement are all involved. Firstly, the design equation was used to calculate essential parameters of proposed lay-up configurations. Secondly, ANSYS, a commercial FEA package, was utilized to estimate displacement outputs of the actuators upon being excited. Finally, experimental measurements were able to verify the predicted results.

The one-way (two-way) flexural strength of RCC prisms (circular slabs) reinforced with glass fiber textiles is addressed. To this end, alkaline-resistant glass fiber textiles with three surface weights were used in the composite, the matrix concrete was designed with zero/nonzero slump, and the textiles were used with/without an intermediate layer provided by epoxy resin and sand mortar. Prisms were tested under a four-point loading apparatus and circular slabs were placed on simple supports under a central load. Effects of the amount and geometry of reinforcement, matrix workability, and the intermediate layer on the ultimate load and deflection were investigated. Results revealed that, with a specific reinforcement amount, there is an optimum textile tex for each case, depending on the matrix mix design and the presence of intermediate layer. Similar results were obtained in one-way and two-way bending tests.
