A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is applied for the effective analysis of plane elastostatic problems in unbounded solids containing single isotropic inclusion of two different shapes considering composite fiber volume fraction. Single cylindrical inclusion and single square cylindrical inclusion are considered in the composites with six different fiber volume fractions (0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50). Using the rule of mixtures, the effective material properties are calculated according to the corresponding composite fiber volume fraction. The analysis of plane elastostatic problems in the unbounded effective material containing single fiber that covers an area corresponding to the composite fiber volume fraction in the bounded matrix material are carried out. Thus, single fiber, matrix material with a finite region, and the unbounded effective material are used in the VIEM models for the plane elastostatic analysis. A detailed analysis of stress field at the interface between the matrix and the inclusion is carried out for single cylindrical or square cylindrical inclusion. Next, the stress field is compared to that at the interface between the matrix and the single inclusion in unbounded isotropic matrix with single isotropic cylindrical or square cylindrical inclusion. This new method can also be applied to general two-dimensional elastodynamic and elastostatic problems with arbitrary shapes and number of inclusions. Through the analysis of plane elastostatic problems, it will be established that this new method is very accurate and effective for solving plane elastic problems in unbounded solids containing inclusions considering composite fiber volume fraction.

Fifteen concrete specimens were mixed and tested to explore the significance and limitation of appling the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber and steel fiber with end hook to concrete. Main parameters investigated were volume fraction and length of the fibers. The measured mechanical properties of fiber reinforced concrete are analyzed according to the equivalent fiber amount index explaining the adding amount and length of fibers. Test results showed that compressive strength of fiber reinforced concrete was higher than that of concrete with no fiber by $10{\sim}20%$. The normalized splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of PVA fiber reinforced concrete were similar to those of concrete with no fiber, whereas those of steel fiber reinforced concrete increased with the increase of the equivalent fiber amount index. In particular, much higher ductile behavior was observed in steel fiber reinforced concrete than in PVA reinforced concrete, indicating that the slope of descending branch of load-displacement relationship of steel fiber reinforced concrete decreased with the increase of the volume fraction and length of the fiber.

The mechanical properties of short carbon/glass fiber reinforced polypropylene are experimentally measured as functions of fiber content and nozzle diameter. Also, these properties are compared with the survival rate of reinforced fibers and fiber volume fraction using image analysis after pyrolytic decomposition. The survival rate of fiber aspect ratio as well as fiber volume fraction is influenced by injection processing condition, the used materials and mold conditions such as diameter of nozzle, etc. In this study, the survival rate of fiber aspect ratio is investigated by nozzle size variations in injection/mold sides. It is found that the survival rate of glass fiber is higher that the survival rate of glass fiber is higher than that of carbon fiber. Both tensile modulus and strength of short-fiber reinforced polypropylene are improved s the fiber volume fraction and nozzle diameter are increased.

본 연구는 SIFCON 형태의 고성능 강섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 섬유혼입률에 따른 휨실험을 수행하였고, 실험결과를 바탕으로 휨성능을 평가하였다. 슬러리를 충전하는 형태로 일반 섬유보강시멘트와 달리 높은 섬유혼입률을 확보할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 주요 실험 변수는 섬유혼입률 8.0%, 7.5%, 7.0%, 6.5% 및 6.0% 이며, 각 변수에 대한 휨강도 및 휨인성 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 높은 섬유혼입률로 인하여 초기균열 발생 이후에도 계속적으로 하중이 증가하였으며, 최대강도 이후 충분한 잔류강도를 확보하였다. 또한 최대 50MPa 수준의 높은 휨강도를 발현하였으며, 섬유혼입률에 따른 휨강도 및 휨인성은 비례하여 증가하는 경향으로 나타났다.

In this study, the survival rate of fiber is investigated by nozzle size difference in injection/mold sides. The survival rate of fiber is influenced about the nozzle size differ. Also, The mechanical properties of short carbon glass fiber reinforced polypropylene are experimentally measured as functions of fiber volume fraction and nozzle size difference. These mechanical properties are compared with the survival rate of fiber and fiber volume fraction using image analysis after pyrolytic decomposition. The survival rate of fiber as well as fiber volume fraction is influenced by injection processing condition, the used materials, mold conditions and nozzle sides difference, etc, In particular, the survival rate of fiber is great influenced when injection/mold nozzle sides are different more than that of the same. Consequently, the mechanical properties of short carbon/glass fiber reinforced polypropylene arc improved as the nozzle sides are the same in injection mold sides.

The purpose of this study is to predict and investigate the time-dependent creep behavior of composite materials. For this, firstly the evaluation method for the modulus of elasticity of whole fiber and matrix is presented from the limited information on fiber volume fraction using the singular value decomposition method. Then, the effects of fiber volume fraction on modulus of elasticity of GFRP are verified. Also, as a creep model, the nonlinear curve fitting method based on the Marquardt algorithm is proposed. Using the existing Findley's power creep model and the proposed creep model, the effect of fiber volume fraction on the nonlinear creep behavior of composite materials is verified. Then, for the time-dependent analysis of a composite material subjected to uniaxial tension and simple shear loadings, a user-provided subroutine UMAT is developed to run within ABAQUS. Finally, the creep behavior of center loaded beam structure is investigated using the Hermitian beam elements with shear deformation effect and with time-dependent elastic and shear moduli.

This paper addresses an application of a fiber volume fraction gradients to reduce the interlaminar forces of fiber reinforced composites subjected to thermal loadings. The degree of the reduction in the interlaminar forces may be expressed by introducing a new parameter, so called, the interlaminar force parameter. Several cases of stacking sequences and models for fiber volume fraction gradients prove the availability of the new parameter which is defined in this study.

The tensile characteristics of four types GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polymer) reinforcing bars with different resin mix proportions and fiber volume fraction were analyzed experimentally. Four types of GFRP reinforcing bars containing approximately 66 or 70% fiber volume fraction with A or B rein mix proportions were considered in this test. All testing procedures including specimens preparation, set-up of test equipments and measuring devices were made according to the recommendations of CSA Standard S806-02. From the test results, it was found that GFRP reinforcing bars containing approximately 70% fiber volume fraction with A rein mix proportion showed the higher tensile strength than that of the others due to the higher fiber volume fraction and proper resin mix proportion.

섬유체적비에 따라 복합재료의 기계적 열적 특성이 크게 달라지기 때문에, 복합재료 설계시 섬유체적비를 올바르게 측정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 일반적으로 섬유체적비를 측정하는 여러 방법은 산화되지 않는 유리섬유나 세라믹섬유를 사용한 복합재료의 경우에는 적합하고 효율적이다. 하지만 산화현상이 있는 탄소섬유의 경우에는 산화 방법과 조건에 따라서 다른 결과를 가져오게 되며 그러므로 올바른 섬유체적비를 측정이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 Thermogravimetric analysis를 수행하여 산화되는 탄소섬유의 질량 감소량을 보정하여 탄소섬유 복합재료의 섬유체적비를 측정하였고 현미경 단면 이미지를 이용하여 그 결과를 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 필라멘트 와인딩 공정에서 발생하는 두께 방향 섬유체적비 불균일이 원통형 복합재 격자 구조의 좌굴하중에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해서 Vasiliev가 제안한 원통형 복합재 격자 구조 좌굴하중 이론식을 변형하여 섬유체적비에 따른 좌굴하중 저하를 확인하였다. 섬유체적비에 따라 격자 구조 리브의 각 층의 두께를 달리하였으며, 혼합법칙을 사용하여 각 층별로 물성치를 다르게 적용하였다. 구조물 크기, 두께, 섬유체적비 평균값을 달리한 유한요소모델에 대한 선형좌굴해석을 수행하였다. 최종적으로 이론식을 사용한 등가모델의 좌굴 하중 계산 결과와 유한요소해석 결과를 비교하여 두께 방향 섬유체적비 불균일이 원통형 복합재 격자 구조의 좌굴하중 저하의 원인이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
