Due to their high corrosion and chemical resistance, fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) are becoming widely used as the main structural material for industrial chimneys. However, no national code currently exists for the design of such type of chimneys. The purpose of this study is to investigate analytically the response of FRP chimneys to wind loads. The classical lamination theory is used to substitute the angle-ply laminate of a FRP chimney with an equivalent orthotropic material that provides the same stiffness. Dynamic wind loads are applied to the equivalent chimney to evaluate its response to both along and across wind loads. A parametric study is then conducted to identify the material and geometric parameters affecting the response of FRP chimneys to wind loads. Unlike the across-wind response, the along-wind tip deflection is found to be highly dependent on the angle of orientation of the fibers. In general, the analysis shows that FRP chimneys are very vulnerable to across-wind oscillations resulting from the vortex shedding phenomenon.

In this paper deals with strength of glass fiber reinforced plastics produced by shouting machine was investigated by universal testing instrument. We can obtain following results by performing the strength evaluation of polymer composite material according as varied environment temperature. The effect of environmental temperature on Strength properties was more sensitive in the weld specimen than parent. When changed environmental temperature, variation of strength in the parent was much bigger than it of weld specimen, that is, matrix in the parent, orientation in the specimen ware more sensitive to environmental strength. Tensile strength of polycarbonate matrix was similar regardless of mold temperature.

As electrical power demand is gradually increasing, the construction of power transmission facility is unavoidable. However difficulties which resulted from increasing of complaints and NYMBY make power transmission tower to be more environmentally friendly. As an alternative proposal, a new method which is changing conventional iron arm for insulation arm which is made of FRP(Fiber Glass Reinforced Plastics) is in progress. In this paper, we discussed environmentally friendly characteristic of domestic 154 kV testing transmission tower whose insulation arms have same mechanical and excellent electrical properties compare to conventional heavy iron arm.

As the first step in discussing the reliability of composite structures, a fundamental study was performed to obtain the scattering characteristics of glass-fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) and woven carbon fiber reinforced plastics (WCFRP) as well as a reference metal. The Euler buckling load was obtained experimentally for each material. The experiments were conducted for specified rectangular specimens with simply supported edges. A new attachment to realize the simply support boundary conditions for composite materials have been prepared before these experiments. The scattering data in the results for GFRP and WCFRP composites were compared with those of a typical metal of aluminum alloy. The experimental data were also compared with numerical simulations including the uncertainties.

Generally in the case of parts used for precision products, tolerance of parts is very small. So inaccuate size of molding parts generates serious problems. Therefore, it's necessary to secure data about shrinkage on each condition or study about manufacturing process which reduces shrinkage. To apply MCPs to manufature of plastic product, this paper verifies how the amount of gas and Talc can affect to cell-morphology, and examines the relation between shrinkage and cell-morphology by using ASTM specimen formed by MCPs process.

This paper describes the need for a ductile Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) reinforcement for concrete structures. To promte the degradation of the adhesive condition at the fiber/matrix micro interface without matrix dissolution loss were carried out in salt water surrounding. The absorption properties and the bending strength were compared about GFRP rebar and steel bar.

In this paper, we investigated the change of wettability, surface potential decay and dielectric properties caused by ultraviolet-treated, thermal-treated and discharge-treated FRP(fiber reinforced plastics) respectively for finding out the influence of dry treatments effected to electrical characteristics on the surface of polymer composites. For the change of wettability, the contact angle of thermal-treated specimen with the high temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ increased. But that of UV-treated and discharge- treated specimen decreased. The characteristic of surface potential decay shows the tendency of the remarkable decrease on UV-treated and discharge-treated specimens, but no difference on thermal-treated specimen compared with untreated one. Also, for the dielectric properties, it shows the increase at large on the treated specimens and especially, the remarkable increase on thermal-treated one.

This investigation has been studied about friction and wear properties which were important problem, when carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) was used practically. Unidirection carbon fiber reinforced composites was fabricated with epoxy resin matrix and carbon fiber as a reinforced, and its surface was modified by the ion-assisted reaction. And then we tested the their friction and wear properties according to the ion-irradiation. when the amount of ion-irradiation was 1${\times}$10l6$\^$16/ ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the friction coefficient values were about 0.1, where as, the friction coefficient values of non-treatment composites were about 0.16. The former was the stablest in wear mode. We know that ion-irradiation was not proportioned to the friction coefficient, so we found the optimal conditions of the friction and wear according to the ion-irradiation.

The main applications of CFRP are sports, aerospace and general industrial uses including automobiles. As this application fields expands the opportunity of machining, but CFRP is difficult to cut because of delamination of the composites and the short tool life. In this paper, the machinability of multidirectional CFRP by means of ultrasonic vibration cutting, which has been verified experimentally investigated.The experimentally to be highly effective in view of cutting force and surface quality.

Composite materials are widely used to make all kinds of machine parts, internal and structural materials of cars, aerospace industries, building structures, ship materials, sporting goods and others. It is worth the while to use composite materials as various substitutions when compared with others. But the use is limited in the field of the mechanical processing because of its difficulties in processing. Thus, it is proved that the surface is rough in and out of the hole processing the GFRP with HSS drill in the vertical machining center.
