이종 재료의 다중 적층 구조인 스마트 스킨을 설계 및 제작하였고, 그 기계적 거동 특성을 규명하기 위하여 압축 및 굽힘 거동에 대하여 시험 및 해석을 수행하였다. 시험 결과 본 연구에서 설계된 스마트 스킨은 압축 허용 하중에 비해 좌굴 허용 하중이 작게 나타났으며, 구조적 안정성에 하니컴 심재의 전단 탄성 계수가 크게 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 하니컴 심재의 전단 탄성 계수 측정을 위하여 개선된 시험법을 고안하여 본 연구에 사용하였다. 또한, 상용 유한 요소 해석 프로그램인 NASTRAN을 이용하여 예측한 압축, 굽힘 거동이 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

형상기억재료는 형상기억효과, 회복변형효과, 형상고청효과, 진동제어효과 등의 특성으로 인하여 중요한 지능재료(smart materials)의 하나로 기대되고 있다. 형상기억 재료로는 합금, 세라믹, 고분자, 겔 등을 들 수 있지만 Ti-Ni 합금(Nitinol)이 가장 많이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 형상기억고분자는 형상기억합금에 비하여 가볍고 형상회복률이 높으며 가공이 쉽고 투명할 뿐만 아니라 염색이 가능하기 때문에 물성과 경제적인 면에서 유리하다. (중략)

Polyacrylonitrile(PAN)-based 탄소섬유와 epoxy resin matrix 내에 장착된 PAN-based 탄소섬유의 전기저항을 탄소섬유와 파괴될 때까지 인장강도를 증가시키며 측정하였다. 탄소섬유가 끊어져 측정 계기가 open-circuit을 나타내기 전까지 탄소섬유의 전기저항 값은 strain이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, epoxy resin은 탄소섬유의 저항값 측정에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 탄소섬유의 저항값 변화는 strain에 대해 정확도 1% 이내로 예측(calibrate)할 수 있었으며 재현성 또한 우수하였다. 따라서 탄소섬유는 재료의 기계적 강도를 증가시키기 위해 사용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 구조재료의 파괴를 예측할 수 있는 스마트 센서로서도 사용할 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다.

Delamination crack detection is very important for improving the structural reliability of laminated composite structures. This requires real-time delamination detection technologies. For composite laminates that are reinforced with carbon fiber, an electrical potential method uses carbon fiber for reinforcements and sensors at the same time. The use of carbon fiber for sensors does not need to consider the strength reduction of smart structures induced by imbedding sensors into the structures. With carbon fiber reinforced (CF/) epoxy matrix composites, it had been proved that the delamination crack was detected experimentally. In the present study, therefore, similar experiments were conducted to prove the applicability of the method for delamination crack detection of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composite laminates. Mode I and mode II delamination tests with artificial cracks were conducted, and three point bending tests without artificial cracks were conducted. This study experimentally proves the applicability of the method for detection of delamination cracks. CF/polyetherethereketone material has strong electric resistance anisotropy. For CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites, a carbon fiber network is constructed, and the network is broken by propagation of delamination cracks. This causes a change in the electric resistance of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites. Using three point bending specimens, delamination cracks generated without artificial initial cracks is proved to be detectable using the electric potential method: This method successfully detected delamination cracks.

To address the need for new intelligent sensing, this paper introduces nano sensors made of carbon nanotube (CNT) composites and presents their preliminary experiments. Having smart material properties such as piezoresistivity, chemical and bio selectivity, the nano composite can be used as smart electrodes of the nano sensors. The nano composite sensor can detect structural deterioration, chemical contamination and bio signal by means of its impedance measurement (resistance and capacitance). For a structural application, the change of impedance shows specific patterns depending on the structural deterioration and this characteristic is available for an in-situ multi-functional sensor, which can simultaneously detect multi symptoms of the structure. This study is anticipated to develop a new nano sensor detecting multiple symptoms in structural, chemical and bio applications with simple electric circuits.

본 논문에서는 위상배열로 응용할 수 있는 스마트 스킨 안테나에 대한 기본 설계와 제작에 대해 소개하였다. 스마트 스킨 위상배열 안테나는 기계적 회전 없이 전기적으로 안테나 방사패턴을 조향 제어할 수 있는 안테나로서, 강도 및 중량 등의 기계적 특성이 우수한 허니콤 샌드위치 구조를 이용하여 전기적, 기계적 특성을 모두 만족하도록 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 스마트 스킨 안테나는 공진 주파수 5 GHz 원형편파의 $2{\times}2$ 부배열이며, 동축 케이블에 의한 프루브 급전방식으로 설계하였다. 그리고, 전자기 수치해석을 통하여 레이돔이 있는 경우와 없는 경우에 대해 비교 분석하였다. 이와 같이 설계된 안테나를 제작하여 안테나 성능시험을 하였으며, 그 결과 이득은 12.2 dBi, 주파수 대역폭은 6.4 %의 양호한 성능을 확인하였다.

An intensity-based optical fiber vibration sensor is applied to detect and evaluate damages and fiber failure of composites. The optical fiber vibration sensor is constructed by placing two cleaved fiber end, one of which is cantilevered in a hollow glass tube. The movement of the cantilevered section lags behind the rest of the sensor in response to an applied vibration and the amount of light coupled between the two fibers is thereby modulated. Vibration characteristics of the optical fiber vibration sensor are investigated. Surface mounted optical fiber vibration sensor is used in tensile and indentation test. Experimental results show that the optical fiber sensor can detect damages and fiber failure of composites correctly.

This paper focuses on predicting the post-heating mechanical properties of cementitious composites reinforced with multi-scale additives using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach. A total of four different feed-forward ANN models are developed using 261 data sets collected from 18 published sources. The models are optimized using 12 input parameters selected based on a comprehensive literature review to predict the residual compressive strength, the residual flexural strengths, elastic modulus, and fracture energy of heat-damaged cementitious specimens. Furthermore, the ANN is employed to predict the impact of several variables including; the content of polypropylene (PP) microfibers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) used in the concrete, mortar, or paste mix design, length of PP fibers, the average diameter of CNTs, and the average length of CNTs. The influence of the studied parameters is investigated at different heating levels ranged from 25℃ to 800℃. The results demonstrate that the developed ANN models have a strong potential for predicting the mechanical properties of the heated cementitious composites based on the mixing ingredients in addition to the heating conditions.

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are a ubiquitous byproduct of coffee consumption, representing a significant waste management challenge, as well as an untapped resource for economic development and sustainability. Improper disposal of SCG can result in environmental problems such as methane emissions and leachate production. This study aims to investigate the physicochemical properties of SCG and their potential as a reinforcement material in polypropylene (PP) to fabricate an eco-friendly composite via extrusion and injection molding, with SCG filler ratios ranging from 5-20%. To evaluate the effect of SCG on the morphological and mechanical properties of the bio- composite, thermogravimetric analysis, SEM, tensile, flexural, and impact tests were conducted. The results demonstrated that the addition of SCG lead to a slight increase in brittleness of the composite but did not significantly affect its mechanical properties. Impressively, the presence of a significant organic component in SCG contributed to the enhanced thermal performance of PP/SCG composites. This improvement was evident in terms of increased thermal stability, delayed onset of degradation, and higher maximum degradation temperature as compared to pure PP. These findings suggest that SCG has potential as a filler material for PP composites, with the ability to enhance the material's properties without compromising overall performance.
