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.

To obtain an excellent product and decide on optimum molding conditions, it is important to establish the relationship between molding conditions and viscosity. The composites is treated as a pseudoplastic fluid, and the expansional/contractional viscosity of the fiber-reinforced polymeric composites is measured using the parallel plastometer, and the model for flow state has been simulated with the viscosity. The effects of expansional slip parameter $\alpha_{e}$, and expansional/contractional viscosity ratio ${\mu}_{\gamma}$, on the mold filling parameters are also discussed.

Residual stresses were predicted by a flow analysis in the mold cavity and residual stress distribution in the injection molded product was measured. Flow field was analyzed by the hybrid FEM/FDM method, using the Hele Shaw approximation. The Modified Cross model was used to determine the dependence of the viscosity on the temperature and the shear rate. The specific volume of the polymer melt which varies with the pressure and temperature fields was calculated by the Tait\`s state equation. Flow analysis results such as pressure, temperature, and the location of the liquid-solid interface were used as the input of the stress analysis. In order to calculate more accurate gap-wise temperature field, a coordinate transformation technique was used. The residual stress distribution in the gap-wise temperature field, a coordinate transformation technique was used. The residual stress distribution in the gap-wise direction was predicted in two cases, the free quenching, under the assumption that the shrinkage of the injection molded product occurs within the mold cavity and that the solid polymer is elastic. Effects of the initial flow rate, packing pressure, and mold temperature on the residual stress distribution was discussed. Experimental results were also obtained by the layer removal method for molded polypropylene.

Environment-friendly shock-absorbing materials were made using a vacuum forming method from waste wood collected from local mountains in Korea. The waste wood was pulped by thermomechanical pulping. The TMP cushions showed superior shock-absorbing properties with lower elastic moduli compared to EPS and pulp mold. Even though the TMP cushions made using different suction times had many free voids in their inner fiber structure, their apparent densities were a little higher than EPS and much lower than pulp mold. The addition of cationic starch improved the elastic modulus of the TMP cushions without increasing the apparent density, which was different from surface sizing with starch. The porosity of the TMP cushions was a little greater than EPS and much less than pulp mold. Finally, the TMP cushions have great potential to endure external impacts occurring during goods distribution.

탄소섬유강화 복합재는 기계적 물성이 우수하여 다양한 산업분야에서 활용되고 있으나 섬유길이가 짧은 단섬유 형태로 함침 되고 있어 강도와 강성을 증대시키는데 한계가 있다. 이를 보완하기 위한 LFT-D성형은 탄소 또는 유리섬유를 열가소성 수지와 혼합하여 압출 후 프레스 성형하여 제품을 만드는 공법으로 연속공정이 가능하고 사출성형에 비해 생산성이 높아 자동차 구조용 부품을 제작하는데 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 LFT-D공법으로 성형된 탄소 장섬유강화 열가소성 복합소재의 기계적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 탄소 장섬유의 함침과 압출공정을 수행할 수 있는 Lab scale의 소형 압출기 시스템을 제작하였다. Lab scale의 소형 압출기를 사용하여 제작된 탄소 장섬유 복합소재를 프레스 성형하여 시편을 제작하고 재료의 기계적 특성을 평가한 결과, 탄소섬유길이, 프레스 가압압력 및 탄소섬유 함유량이 복합소재의 강도 및 강성의 증가에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 향후 탄소 장섬유 복합소재의 기계적 성질 향상을 위해서 혼합 스크류 설계, 탄소 섬유코팅 등에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

The compression molding of SMC (sheet molding compund) at room temperature was analyzed based on rigid-viscoplastic approach by three dimensional finite element program. The developed program was tested by solving the three dimensional compression of wedge type specimens of aluminum alloys at various processing conditions. The simulation results were compared well to the experimental results available in the literature. based on this comparison the program was proved to be valid and was further applied in solving compression molding of SMC, which is a thermosetting material reinforced with chopped fiber glass. To investigate the effects of friction conditions and mold closing speeds for compression molding of SMC charge at room temperature, compressions of the cylindrical and rectangular shaped SMC were analyzed for various friction conditions and mold closing speeds. The calculated load values were compared to the experimental results for the compression molding of cylindrical specimen.

Screw rotors are core parts of screw type air compressors, compressors in refrigerating machines and super chargers of automobiles etc. They are composed of a female and a male rotors which have complex section profiles and helically swept geometry. Screw type compressors have advantages of low noise, high efficiency, less needs in maintenance etc. Usually, machining process of screw rotors requires long machining time using CNC machine designed only for screw rotors, which increase the cost of production. In this work, the screw rotors for air-compressors were manufactured with fiber reinforced epoxy composite materials by resin transfer molding process. The mold for the RTM process was made of aluminum and silicon rubber and was designed for release of helical shape products. Composite screw rotors, manufactured by RTM process, have advantages of lightweight, less cost of production, good characteristics of vibration etc.

Structural reaction injection molding을 이용한 복합재료의 제품 셩형을 위한 모델링 전략을 설명하였다. 사용된 모델은 두 평행한 원판형 mold에 있는 불 균일한 온도조건의 fiber preform을 통과하는 reactive srsin의 방사형 유동을 시뮬레이션 한다. 이러한 모델은 중요한 작동인자와 공정인자(주입온도, mold의 온도, 유량, cavity의 두께와 섬유의 조밀도)등이 유동속도, 변화(monomer, radical, inhibitor) 및 온도분포 등에 미치는 영향을 예견한다. 열전달과 질량전달 및 화학반응을 고려하여 모델을 개발하였다. 중요한 공정인자를 평가하기 위한 효울적인 공정창( process window)을 제공하는데 본 연구의 목적을 두었다. 2차원적인 Lagrangian 방식에 1차원적인 유동과 제한적인 2차원 열전달을 가정하여 모델을 유도하였고, 방정식은 implicit difference scheme에 의해 전개하였다. 이 모델은 Gonzalez-Romero의 실험 결과와 비교함에 의해 확인되었고, 실험결과가 잘 일치함을 보였다.
