In this study, An optimization code that can design microwave absorbing composite laminates is developed, and 3-layered microwave absorbing composite laminates are developed by optimizing the thickness of each layer. The layers are 3 different composite laminates. Many variables including lay-up angles of electromagnetically orthotropic composite layer can be considered in this code. The developed laminate is composed of an impedance matching layer of glass/epoxy fabric laminate, a glass/epoxy fabric laminate layer containing aluminum filler and carbon/epoxy fabric laminate layer. Permittivities of the materials are obtained using a network analyzer and a coaxial air line.

In this paper, we present the simulataneous monitoring of the strain and temperature during cures f various composite laminates using fiber Bragg grating/extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (FBG/EFPI) hybrid sensors. Three types of graphite/epoxy composite were used : a undirectional laminate, a symmetric cross-ply laminate, and a fabric laminate. Two FBG/EFPI hybrid sensors were embedded in each laminate at different directions and different locations. We performed the real time monitoring of fabrication strains and temperatures at two points within the composite laminates during cure process in an autoclave. Throuhg these experiments, FBG/EFPI sensors proved to be an efficient choice for smart cure monitoring of composite structures.

Tensile stress loaded on smart composite structures and thermal stress occurred during the during process of the smart composite materials with embedded optical fiber sensors affect directly the mechanical behavior of the embedded optical fiber sensors within the smart composite structures. Stress distribution within the optical fiber sensors varies with respect to the stacking sequence of the composite laminate and the coating conditions of the optical fibers. The cracks occurred within the composite laminate affect not only the fracture of the composite laminate but also the fracture of the optical fiber sensors embedded within the composite laminate. In this study, firstly, stress distribution of the optical fiber sensors embedded within the composite laminate which is subjected to the tensile and thermal stresses was analyzed using Finite Element Method. And, secondly, the effect of the stacking sequence of the composite laminate and the coating conditions of the optical fiber sensors on the stress distribution of the optical fiber sensors was investigated. Finally, the effect of the crack occurred within the smart composite laminate on the fracture behavior of the optical fiber sensors was also observed through the tensile test.

The characteristic length method used to determine a laminate's strength generally requires the test for un-notched and notched laminates and finite element analysis together. In this paper, the methods used to predict the stress distribution and tensile characteristic length of open-hole laminates using the stress concentration factor and equivalent material properties are proposed. These methods do not require data on the failure load of open-hole laminates or finite element analysis. Once the stress and characteristic length have been determined, the failure load of the open-hole laminate can be calculated. The proposed method considers the effect of the material properties as a parameter and therefore can be applied to a variety of materials. The stress distribution is verified by comparing with a finite element analysis and test results. The predicted failure load shows a maximum deviation of 8% from the test results.

복합적층판은 일반적으로 균일한 두께를 갖는 평평한 구조물을 형성하게 된다. 그러나 실제 적용시 적층판의 테이퍼링(tapering)이 요구되는 경우가 존재한다. 테이퍼진 복합재 구조물의 적용분야는 항공기의 날개, 수직/수평 안정판 및 헬리콥터의 로터 블레이드 등이다. (중략)

복합재료가 점차 최근에 항공기에서 이차적인 구조요소에서 일차적으로 힘을 받는 구조물에 사 용됨으로써 두꺼운 복합재료 구조판과 셸의 정확한 동적, 정적거동을 예측하는 것이 중요한 문 제가 되었다. 특히 전산구조역학의 한 분야로서 복합재료 적층판의 문제는 inhomogeneity와 anisotropy 문제를 가지고 있어서 복잡하며 일차구조 (primary structrue)에서는 100장-200장의 적층도 드물지 않게 볼 수 있어서 정확한 계산을 위해서는 방대한 기억용량과 빠른 계산속도를 요구한다. 그러므로 복합재료 적층판의 거동을 정확하고 값싸고 빠르게 계산할 수 있는 이론과 수치방법의 개발이 중요한 문제이다. 이 문제는 E. Reissner, R. K. Kapania & S. Raciti, A. K. Noor & W. S., Burton, L. Librescu & J. N. Reddy, J. N. Reddy 등에 의해서 review가 행하 여졌고 이 분야의 모든 paper들의 비교적 현재까지 연구동향을 잘 묘사하고 있다. 여러 review paper들이 시간흐름상으로 여러 연구들을 잘 정리하고 있으므로 이 글에서는 논문들을 다시 review하는 것이 아니라 지난 20여 년간 이 분야에서 계속되어 온 연구중 주요한 것을 고찰하고 소개하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다.

The purpose of this work is to investigate the static strength, the stress distribution, and the failure process of quasi-isotropic composite laminates made of two different matrices when loading directions are changed. We carried out static tests of $[0/-60/+60]_s$ and $[+30/-30/90]_s$ laminates. Two types of matrices used are AS4/epoxy and AS4/PEEK. The damage mechanisms of the quasi-isotropic laminate, $[0/-60/+60]_s$, strongly depend on the load direction applied to the laminate.

형상기억합금 선(Shape Memory Alloy Fibers ： SMA Fibers)을 삽입한 복합재료 평판의 고온 환경에서의 열적 좌굴 및 진동 해석을 유한요소법을 이용하여 수행하였다 1 차 전단변형이론을 적용하여 적층판을 모델링하였고, 온도 변화 효과는 적층판의 전 영역에서 균일한 온도 분포로 가정하였다. 형상기억합금 선의 온도에 대한 비선형 재료 성질을 고려하여 열적 좌굴 해석 수행 시 반복 계산법을 이용하였고, 자유 진동 해석에서는 시스템의 자유도를 줄이기 위하여 Guyan-Reduction(CR)을 사용하였다. 온도 변화와 형상기억합금 선의 체적비(volume fraction) 및 초기 변형률(initial strain) 변화에 따른 임계 온도와 고유 진동수의 특성을 해석하였다.

This paper describes the results of experiments to analyze the free vibration of the laminated composite and hybrid composite plates with various shapes and boundary conditions. The materials of specimens were the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), the glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP), the GFRP-Aluminum hybrid composite and the CFRP-CFRP hybrid composite. The natural frequencies and nodal patterns of plates with various shapes were experimentally obtained by impact exciting test using an impact hammer and an accelerometer. The experimental results were presented with normalized frequency parameters. The effects of composite material properties, fiber orientation angles, various geometrical shapes and boundary conditions on the vibration characteristics of composite plates were evaluated. To compare and verify these experimental results, the finite element analysis was carried out, and was well agreed with experimental results.

An energy method has been used for an elastic formulation of bending vibration and buckling analysis of laminated composite plates on two-parameter elastic foundations. A quasi-elastic method is used for the solution of viscoelastic analysis of the laminated composite plates. The third-order shear deformation theory is applied by using the double-fourier series. To validate the derived equations the obtained displacements for simply supported orthotropic plates on elastic foundations are compared with those of LUSAS program Numerical results of the viscoelastic bending vibration and buckling analysis are presented to show the effects of layup sequence number of layers material anisotropy and shear modulus of foundations.
