The use of composite patches for the reduction of stresses at the level of the damaged zone in aeronautical structures has experienced rapid expansion given its advantages over conventional mechanical processes (riveting, bolting, etc.). Initially, The research axes in this field were aimed at choosing suitable mechanical properties for the composite and the adhesive, then to optimize the shape of the composite patch in order to ensure good load transfer and avoid having a debonding at the level of the edges essentially for the case of a repair by single side where the bending moment is present due to the non-symmetry of the structure. Our work falls within this context; the objective is to analyze by the finite element method the fracture behavior of a damaged plate repaired by composite patch. Stress reduction at the edge is accomplished by creating a variable angle chamfer on the composite patch. The effects of the crack length, the laminate sequence and the nature of the patch as well as the use of a hybrid patch were investigated. The results show clearly that a beveled patch reduces the stress concentrations in the damaged area and even at its edges. The hybrid patch also ensures good durability of the repair by optimizing its stacking sequence and the location of the different layers according to the fibers orientations.

This work presents the experimental and FEM results for the free vibration of cantilevered, symmetrically and antisymmetrically laminated composite rectangular plates. The natural frequencies, mode shapes and contour plots of a number of CFRP, GFRP, DFRP-Aluminum, GFRP-Aluminum and DFRP-GFRP hybrid composite plates are experimentally obtained. Determination of Young's modulus and test procedures are described. The natural frequencies are determined for a wide range of parameters : e.g. , composite material constants, fiber angles and stacking sequences. Natural frequency and nondimensional frequency parameter results are compared with the finite element analysis and existing literatures. Agreement between experimental and calculated frequencies is excellent. The effects of varing the parameters upon the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes are discussed.

Composite sandwich structures are widely employed in various applications, due to their high specific stiffness and specific bending strength compared to solid panels. Lately, for that reason, the advanced composite sandwich structures are employed in satellite structures: materials should be as light as possible with the highest attainable performance. This study is majorly focused on inserts employed to the composite sandwich satellite structures. A new hybrid insert design was developed in precedent study to reduce the mass of the sandwich structure since the mass of the satellite structure is related to high launching cost [1]. In this study, the thermal characteristics and behavior of the precedently developed hybrid insert with carbon composite reinforcing web and the conventional partial insert were numerically investigated.

This study investigated the effect of water absorption on the tensile properties of carbon-glass/epoxy hybrid composites at room temperature and $-30^{\circ}C$. To investigate the effect of the position of glass fabric in the hybrid composite on the tensile properties, the stacking pattern of the fiber fabrics for reinforcing was created in three different ways: (a) glass fabrics sandwiched between carbon fabrics, (b) carbon fabrics sandwiched between glass fabrics and (c) alternative layers of carbon and glass fabrics. They were manufactured by a vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. The results showed that there was surprisingly little difference in tensile strength at the two different temperatures with dry and wet conditions. However, the water absorption into the hybrid system affected the tensile properties of the hybrid composites at RT and $-30^{\circ}C$. When the glass fabrics were at the outermost layers, the hybrid composite had the lowest tensile properties. This is attributed to the fact that the composite had a relatively high water absorption rate.

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.

섬유보강재는 부식에 대한 저항성이 높고, 고강도이며, 또한 강도에 대한 중량비(섬유보강재의 중량은 보강철근의 약 1/4정도)가 매우 낮아서 구조물 및 내하력이 저하된 콘크리트구조물의 보강에 따른 추가적인 중량의 증가 없이 보강을 할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 섬유보강재는 하중을 가하면, 최대 응력점까지 응력이 선형적으로 증가하다가 파괴되는 취성적 성질을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 여러 섬유를 혼합하여 하이브리드화된 섬유보강재를 개발하였다. 개발된 하이브리드 섬유보강재는 유리섬유와 탄소섬유를 혼합하여 바 형태로 제작했으며, 유리섬유에 대한 탄소섬유의 체적비는 약 9 : 1로 구성이 된다. 하이브리드 섬유보강재를 타격식 앵커를 사용하여 시험체를 보수한 다음 인발 및 휨 시험을 실시하여 정착앵커의 수에 대한 시험체의 거동을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 타격식 앵커를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강재로 보강된 구조물의 보강특성을 알아보는데 목적이 있다.

Al2O3/SiC hybrid-composite has been fabricated by the conventional powder process. The addition of $\alpha$-Al2O3 as seed particles in the transformation of ${\gamma}$-Al2O3 to $\alpha$-Al2O3 provided a homogeneity of the microstructure. The grain growth of Al2O3 are significantly surpressed by the addition of nano-size SiC particles. Dislocation were produced due to the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between Al2O3 and SiC and piled up on SiC particles in Al2O3 matrix, resulting in transgranular fracture. The high fracture strength of the composite was contributed to the grain refinement and the transgranular fracture mode. The addition of SiC platelets to Al2O3/SiC nano-composite decreased the fracture strength, but increased the fracture toughness. Coated SiC platelets with nitrides such as BN and Si3N4 enhanced fracture toughness much more than non-coated SiC platelets by enhancing crack deflection.

본 연구에서는 고강도강재를 적용한 비대칭 하이브리드 합성보의 휨성능을 실물대 실험을 통하여 평가하였다. 합성보의 웨브와 상부플랜지에는 일반강재(SM400, SM490)를 적용하고 하부플랜지는 상부플랜지에 비해 상대적으로 크게 제작하여 비대칭 단면으로 적용한 후 일반강재(SM520) 및 고강도강재(SM570, HSA800)를 각각 적용하였다. 본 연구의 주요 목적은 비대칭 하이브리드 합성보의 휨성능 평가 및 설계지침의 개발이다. 실험결과 하부플랜지에 일반강재를 적용한 실험체의 경우 $Dp/Dt{\leq}0.15$를 만족시킬 시 우수한 휨강도와 연성능력을 발현하는 것을 확인하였다. 반면 하부플랜지에 고강도강재가 적용된 실험체의 경우 휨내력의 증가로 인한 슬래브의 수평전단력 증가가 예상치 못한 슬래브 종방향 전단파괴를 발생시켜 소성강도에 도달하지 못하였다. 따라서 고강도강재를 적용한 비대칭 하이브리드 합성보의 경우 설계단계에서 슬래브 수평전단강도 확보가 필수적이다.

The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the free vibration and buckling behaviors of hybrid composite beams having different span lengths and orientation angles subjected to different impact energy levels. The impact energies are applied in range from 10 J to 30 J. Free vibration and buckling behaviors of intact and impacted hybrid composite beams are compared with each other for different span lengths, orientation angles and impact levels. In free vibration analysis, the first three modes of hybrid beams are considered and natural frequencies are normalized. It is seen that first and second modes are mostly affected with increasing impact energy level. Also, the fundamental natural frequency is mostly affected with the usage of mold that have 40 mm span length (SP40). Moreover, as the impact energy increases, the normalized critical buckling loads decrease gradually for $0^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ oriented hybrid beams but they fluctuate for the other beams.
