CFRP 사교적층판의 충격손상에 관한 연구

A Study on the Impact-Induced Damage in CFRP Angle-ply Laminates

본 연구에서는 CFRP 적층재를 구조재료로 사용할 경우 우수한 인장강도를 갖 지만, 충격하중에 취약한 특성을 갖기 때문에 구조안정성에 관한 큰 문제의 하나로 충 격손상을 받은 적층판의 잔류 압축강도가 현저히 저하되는 것이 문제점으로 지적되어 왔다.특히, 충격손상에 의한 압축강도의 저하는 인장강도보다 압축강도에 중점을 두는 항공기의 강도설계에서 중요한 문제가 되므로, 저속충격에 의한 복합재료 구조체 의 충격파괴의 문제를 잘 이해하는 것이 요구된다. 지금까지의 연구에 의하면 CFRP 복합적층재의 손상은 주로 층간박리현상과 손상역의 크기변화를 실험적으로 고찰하였 다.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics(CFRP) have gained increased application in aerospace structures because of their specific strength and stiffness, but are sensitive to impact-induced damage. An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the impact resistance of CFRP according to the ply angle. The specimens of angle ply laminate composites were employed with [0.deg. $_{6}$/ .deg.$_{10}$/0.deg.$_{6}$], in which 6 kinds of ply angle such as .deg.=15.deg., 30.deg., 45.deg., 60.deg., 75.deg. and 90.deg. were selected. The impact tests were conducted using the air gun type impact testing machine by steel balls of diameter of 5 mm and 10 mm, and impact-induced damages were evaluated under same impact speed of V=60m/s. The impact damaged zones were observed through a scanning acoustic microscope (SAM). The obtained results were summarized as follows: (1) Delaminations on the interfacial boundaries showed th directional characteristics to the fiber directions. The delamination area on the impact side (interface A) was considerably smaller compared to that of the opposite side (interface B). (2) Cracks corresponding to other delaminations than those mentioned in SAM photographs were also seen on the impact damaged zone. (3) The delamination patterns were affected by the ply-angle, the dimensions of the specimen, and the boundary conditions. (4) The impact damaged zone showed zone showed the delamination on the interfacial boundaries, transverse shear cracks of the surface layer, and bending cracks of the bottom layer.r.r.r.
