In the present study, the various dynamic properties of MWCNT embedded fiber reinforced polymer uniform and tapered composite (MWCNT-FRP) plates are investigated. Various configurations of a tapered composite plate with ply-drop off and uniform composite plate have been considered for the development of the finite element formulation and experimental investigations. First order shear deformation theory (FSDT) has been used to derive the kinetic and potential energy equations of the hybrid composite plates by including the effect of rotary inertia, shear deformation and non-uniformity in thickness of the plate. The governing equations of motion of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement are derived by considering a nine- node rectangular element with five degrees of freedom (DOF) at each node. The effectiveness of the developed finite element formulation has been demonstrated by comparing the natural frequencies and damping ratio of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement obtained experimentally. Various parametric studies are also performed to study the effect of CNT volume fraction and CNT aspect ratio of the composite plate on the natural frequencies of different configurations of CNT reinforced hybrid composite plates. Further the forced vibration analysis is performed to compare the dynamic response of the various configurations of MWCNT-GFRP composite plate with GFRP composite plate under harmonic excitations. It was observed that the fundamental natural frequency and damping ratio of the GFRP composite plate increase approximately 8% and 37% respectively with 0.5wt% reinforcement of MWCNT under CFCF boundary condition. The natural frequencies of MWCNT-GFRP hybrid composite plates tend to decrease with the increase of MWCNT volume fraction beyond 2% due to agglomeration of CNT's. It is also observed that the aspect ratio of the CNT has negligible effect on the improvement of dynamics properties due to randomly orientation of CNT's.

$Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites are fabricated by squeeze infiltration method. From the misconstructive of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites fabricated by squeeze infiltration method, uniform distribution of reinforcements and good bondings are found. Hardness value of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites increases linearly with the volume fraction of reinforcement because SiC whisker and $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ fiber have an outstanding hardness. Optimal aging conditions are obtained by examining the hardness of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites with different aging time. Tensile properties such as Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength are improved up to 30% and 40% by the addition of reinforcements, respectively. Failure mode of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites is ductile on microstructural level. Through the abrasive wear test and wear surface analysis, wear behaviour and mechanism of 6061 aluminum and $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites are characterized under various testing conditions. The addition of SiC whisker to $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ composites gives rise to improvement of the wear resistance. The wear resistance of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites is superior to that of Al/SiC composites. The wear mechanism of aluminum alloy is mainly abrasive wear at low speed range and adhesive and melt wear at high speed range. In contrast, that of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites is abrasive wear at all speed range, but severe wear when counter material is stainless steel. As the testing temperature increases, wear loss of aluminum alloy decreases because the matrix is getting more ductile, but that of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites is hardly varied. Oil lubricant is more effective to reduce the wear loss of aluminum alloy and $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites at high speed range.

A unique lightweight string truss deployable bridge assembled by thin-walled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and metal profiles was designed for emergency applications. As a new structure, investigations into the static structural performance under the serviceability limit state are desired for examining the structural integrity of the developed bridge when subjected to unsymmetrical loadings characterized by combined torsion and bending. In this study, a full-scale experimental inspection was conducted on a fabricated bridge, and the combined flexural-torsional behavior was examined in terms of displacement and strains. The experimental structure showed favorable strength and rigidity performances to function as deployable bridge under unsymmetrical loading conditions and should be designed in accordance with the stiffness criterion, the same as that under symmetrical loads. In addition, a finite element model (FEM) with a simple modeling process, which considered the multi segments of the FRP members and realistic nodal stiffness of the complex unique hybrid nodal joints, was constructed and compared against experiments, demonstrating good agreement. A FEM-based numerical analysis was thereafter performed to explore the effect of the change in elastic modulus of different FRP elements on the static deformation of the bridge. The results confirmed that the change in elastic modulus of different types of FRP element members caused remarkable differences on the bending and torsional stiffness of the hybrid bridge. The global stiffness of such a unique bridge can be significantly enhanced by redesigning the critical lower string pull bars using designable FRP profiles with high elastic modulus.

In this study, a seat cross member was fabricated by optimizing the resin transfer molding processing of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) materials. This seat cross member is used in automotive underbody parts and provides side impact support. The seat cross was manufactured via vacuum resin transfer molding. The process included 1min of resin injection, 8 mins of heating, and 1 min of cooling, for a total molding time of 10mins. Tensile test results showed an average breaking load of 21.50kN, a tensile strength of 404 MPa, and an elastic modulus of 46.2 GPa. As a result, the CFRP seat cross provides the same strength as a similar steel part, but weighs 42% less.

최근 국내 철도 관련 기관에서 고속집전용 판토그래프를 개발하고 있으며, 이는 상부암의 경량화를 위하여 기존의 강재(Steel) 대신에 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)와 알루미늄의 혼성구조체를 적용한 구조를 갖는다. KTX-산천 열차의 경우, 한 대의 판토그래프를 통해서 열차에 필요한 모든 전력을 공급해야 하는 동력집중식이므로 판토그래프는 큰 통전 용량을 가져야 한다. 하지만, 알루미늄 파이프의 열적 특성 분석 없이 통전 용량을 증대시키기 위하여 파이프의 두께를 임의로 증가시키게 되면 상부암의 무게 증가로 집전성능의 저화를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 KTX-산천 열차의 정지 상태에서 수전 시 판토그래프 상부암 혼성구조체를 이루는 알루미늄 파이프의 시간 경과에 따른 온도 특성 변화를 열해석을 통하여 분석하고, 제시된 판토그래프 통전 용량에 부합되는 알루미늄 파이프의 최소 두께의 적정성을 검토하고자 한다.

This paper investigates the effect of ductile deformation behavior of high performance hybrid fiber-reinforced cement composites (HPHFRCCs) on the shear behavior of coupling beams to lateral load reversals. The matrix ductility and the reinforcement layout were the main variables of the tests. Three short coupling beams with two different reinforcement arrangements and matrixes were tested. They were subjected to cyclic loading by a suitable experimental setup. All specimens were characterized by a shear span-depth ratio of 1.0. The reinforcement layouts consisted of a classical scheme and diagonal scheme without confining ties. The effects of matrix ductility on deflections, strains, crack widths, crack patterns, failure modes, and ultimate shear load of coupling beams have been examined. The combination of a ductile cementitious matrix and steel reinforcement is found to result in improved energy dissipation capacity, simplification of reinforcement details, and damage-tolerant inelastic deformation behavior. Test results showed that the HPFRCC coupling beams behaved better than normal reinforced concrete control beams. These results were produced by HPHFRCC's tensile deformation capacity, damage tolerance and tensile strength.

본 연구의 목적은 아라미드섬유의 표면개질에 의한 시멘트 복합재료의 강도특성 및 내충격성능의 향상효과를 평가하는 것이다. 단섬유 형태의 아라미드섬유를 섬유길이와 섬유의 표면유제처리율을 달리하여 시멘트 복합재료에 혼입하였다. 아라미드섬유보강 시멘트 복합재료의 강도특성은 섬유의 혼입율, 섬유의 표면유제처리율, 섬유의 길이에 따라 다르게 나타났으며, 특히, 동일한 섬유혼입율 및 섬유길이에 대한 인장강도 및 휨강도는 섬유의 표면유제처리율을 증가시킨 시험체가 향상되는 경향을 확인하였다. 이러한 정적 강도특성 결과는 고속비상체의 충돌에 의한 내충격성능에도 영향을 미쳤으며, 아라미드섬유의 표면유제처리율이 증가함에 따라 배면박리가 억제되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만, 아라미드섬유를 섬유보강 시멘트 복합재료용 보강재로 활용하기 위해서는 섬유와 시멘트 복합재료간의 분산능력 및 부착효율을 향상시켜야 할 것으로 판단된다. 이는 아라미드섬유의 표면특성을 소수성으로 개질하는 것에 의해 가능할 것으로 사료되며, 1.2 %이상의 표면유제처리율 및 성능개선에 대해서는 추가적인 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 아라미드섬유와 후크형 강섬유를 하이브리드 한 시험체의 경우, 강도특성 및 내충격성능의 향상효과는 강섬유의 기여도가 높은 것으로 나타났다.

최근 경량 소재에 대한 수요 증가로 기존 금속과 복합재간 접합 관심이 지대하다. 리벳팅과 같은 볼트 체결인 기계적 결합의 경우 응력 집중, 균열 및 박리가 발생함에 따라 접착제를 사용한 화학적 결합이 주목받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 접착제의 접합강도 향상을 위해 레이저 및 플라즈마 표면처리를 진행하였으며, 이에 대한 접착특성을 평가하고자 한다. 접합강도 실험을 위해 흔히 자동차용 소재로 사용되는 탄소섬유강화플라스틱(CFRP), CR340(Steel)과 Al6061(Aluminum)을 실험 소재로 선정해 레이저 및 플라즈마 표면처리를 진행 후 단축전단강도를 측정하였다. 플라즈마 표면처리 후 CFRP-CR340 및 CFRP-Al6061 이종소재 시편에서 각각 접합강도가 7.3% 및 39.2% 향상되었다. CR340-Al6061 시편은 레이저 표면처리에서 기준 시편대비 56.2% 증가하였다. 플라즈마 표면처리 후 표면자유에너지(SFE)가 향상되었는데 이는 화학반응 메커니즘을 통해 손상을 최소화해 접합강도 향상을 나타낸 것으로 사료된다. 레이저 표면처리는 물리적 표면처리로 거친 접합 표면 생성으로 인해 mechanical interlocking 효과로 인해 접착 강도가 향상된 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구를 토대로 실제 구조물 파손의 대표적인 원인인 피로파손을 예방하기 위해 장기 피로시험을 진행 할 예정이다.
