In this study, the high-velocity impact penetration behavior of $[45/0/-45/90]_{ns}$ carbon/epoxy composite laminates was studied. The considered configuration includes a spherical steel ball impacting clamped circular laminates with various thicknesses and diameters. First, the impact experiment was performed to measure residual velocity and extent of damage. Next, the impact experiment was numerically simulated through finite element analysis using LS-dyna. Three-dimensional solid elements were used to model each ply of the laminates discretely, and progressive material failure was modeled using MAT162. The result indicated that the finite element simulation yielded residual velocities and damage modes well-matched with those obtained from the experiment. It was found that fiber damage was localized near the impactor penetration path, while matrix and delamination damage were much more spread out with the damage mode showing a dependency on the orientation angles and ply locations. The ballistic-limit velocities obtained by fitting the residual velocities increased almost linearly versus the laminate diameter, but the amount of increase was small, showing that the impact energy was absorbed mostly by the localized impact damage and that the influence of the laminate size was not significant at high-velocity impact.

Existing test methods for thick-section specimens ( 4mm) have not provided precise compressive properties to date for the analysis and design of thick structure. A survey of the failure behaviour of such thick specimens revealed that the failure initiated at the top corner of the specimen and propagated down and across the width of the specimen as premature failure, not typically reported for thin compression specimens. In the current study, the premature failure was successfully avoided during compressive testing and the failure mode was quite similar regardless of increasing specimen thickness and specimen volume. Failure mode was similar regardless of increasing specimen thickness and specimen volume, i.e. brooming failure mode combined with longitudinal splitting, interlaminar cracking, fibre breakage and kinkband formation (fibre microbuckling). Nevertheless, average failure strengths of the specimens decreased with increasing specimen thicnkiness from 2mm to 8mm with the T800/924C system (36% strength reduction) and specimen volumes from scaling factor I to scaling factor 4 with the IM7/8552 system (46% strength reduction). It was revealed from the literature$^{11}$ that the thickness effect and scaling effect arc caused by manufacturing defects such as void content and fibre waviness.

복합재료 중 가장 많이 사용되는 탄소계 나노복합재의 성능 향상에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 나노 사이즈의 탄소나노튜브(CNT)와 마이크로 사이즈의 그레파이트(Graphite) 입자를 일정한 형태로 배열하여 나노복합재를 제작하였다. 입자를 배열하기 위하여 전기장을 활용하였다. 일정한 방향 혹은 형태로 배열된 입자는 에폭시 기지 속에서 섬유강화 복합재 처럼 일정한 방향으로 강성의 향상을 나타낸다. 복합재의 구조적 강성이나 물리적 특성은 강화 입자의 배열상태에 따라 매우 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 특히 탄소나노튜브와 그레파이트 강화입자의 전기장 배열에 의해서 만들어진 나노복합재의 강성 및 방사능 차폐특성을 규명하였다. 전기장에 의한 입자의 배열로 만들어진 탄소계 복합재는 구조적 성능뿐만 아니라 물리적인 방사능 차폐에서도 훌륭한 특성을 나타내었다.

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.

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.

The purpose of present paper is to estimate the static and fatigue bending strengths of CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastic) laminates having impact damage(FOD). The specimens which are formed with the different stacking composition, EPOXY and PEEK matirx and orthotropic and quasi-isotropic laminated plates, are prepared for this experiment. A steel ball is impacted on CFRP laminates, generating impact damages, and the three-point fatigue bending test is carried out by using the impacted laminates to investigate the influence of the stackin composition on the fatigue strength of CFRP laminates.

에폭시수지와 CFRP 복합체 구조물의 경화공정 중에 발생하는 잔류응력은 구조물의 기계적물성에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 잔류응력을 낮추기 위해 여러 가지 방법들이 발표되고 있다. 이연구에서는 잔류응력을 낮추는 방법으로 잔류응력의 발새mechanism을 이해하고 반 응속도식과 여러 가지 기초물성을 기초로 한 computer simulation pro-gram을 이용하여 에 촉시수지와 복합체 구조물의 잔류응력을 최소화하는 경화공정을 찾는 연구를 진행하였다. 경화과정에서는 대부분의 경화온도가 구조물의 유리전이온도보다 높기 때문에 잔류응력이 발생하지 않고 대부분의 잔류응력은 냉각과정에서 발생하였다. 잔류응력을 정량화하는 방법 으로 구조물의 표면이 유리전이온도에 도달하였을때 내부 비체적분초를 상대적인 잔류응력 이라 간주하였다. 컴퓨터모사에 의해 최종경화온도와 냉각속도를 바꾸면서 잔류응력을 모사 한 결과 최종경화온도가 낮을수록, 냉각속도가 작을수록 잔류응력이 작게 발생하였다.

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.

To design and estimate material failures of Type III pressure vessels, which have excellent stability and performance, various modeling techniques have been introduced. This paper provided a hybrid modeling technique composed of ply-based modeling for a cylinder part and laminate-base modeling technique for a dome part for enhancing modeling efficiency. The ply-based modeling technique provided accurate ply stresses directly for predicting material failure, on the other hand, additional manipulations in stress calculations, which may cause some errors, were needed for the case of the laminate-based modeling technique. The ply stresses in fiber, transverse and in-plane shear directions were compared with the corresponding material strengths to predict material failure.

CNG 차량에서 실사용 중 Type3 복합재료 압력용기의 외부 복합재 층에 결함이 발생된다면, 용기의 구조적 성능 즉, 원래의 설계수명보다 반복수명이 감소되는 현상을 초래할 수 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 복합재 결함을 고려한 복합재료 압력용기의 유한요소 모델링과 해석 기법을 제시하였다. Type3 복합재료 압력용기의 유한요소해석은 자긴처리 공정에서 알루미늄 라이너의 소성 변형으로 인해 경로 의존적 현상을 보이므로, 실사용 중 결함이 발생되는 실제 환경을 고려한 해석에서 결함은 자긴압력 이후에 도입되어야한다. 이러한 상황의 사실적인 시뮬레이션을 위해, 해석의 중간단계에서 결함이 도입되는 유한요소 모델링과 해석 기법이 제시되었으며, 해석결과는 해석의 시작단계에서부터 모델에 초기결함을 내포하는 일반적 유한요소해석과 비교되었다. 제안된 해석 기업은 Type3 복합재료 압력용기의 복합재층 손상에 따른 영향성 평가 및 실사용 중에서의 검사 기준을 마련하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.
