This paper addresses the development of VP curing equipment for the substitution of autoclave which has several limits in application. This equipment adopt vacuuming and pressurizing processes similarly to the autoclave, but has flexible pressurizing and movable system. The experiments were pursued to determine and to compare specific properties of the specimens produced by three kinds of processes; autoclave, hotpress, and VP. The results show that the VP curing equipment can produce the useful composite material with a little inferior quality to the autoclave, but better than the hotpress. Considering the movability of VP curing equipment, it can be expanded its application to the areas of composite patch-repaired structure in large objects.

Failure process, mode and strength of unidirectional composite single lap bonded joints were investigated experimentally with respect to bonding methods, those are, co-curing with and without adhesive and secondary bonding. The co-cured joint specimens without adhesive had the largest failure strength. Progressive failures along the adhesive layer occurred in the secondary bonded specimens. In the co-cured specimens with adhesive film which had better material strength and adhesion performance, delamination failure occurred and the joint strengths were less than those of secondary bonded specimens. Delamination failure did not occur in the secondary bonded specimens because of earlier crack growth and progressive failure in the adhesive layer. Therefore, failure strength of composite bonded Joints were not always proportionate to material strength and adhesion performance of the adhesive due to the weakness of delamination in composite materials. The effects of surface roughness, bondline thickness and fillets were also studied on secondary bonded specimens.

Carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials have been widely used in various industrial fields, but there are limits to increasing their strength and stiffness, because of the short-length fibers that are impregnated in them. In this study, a lab-scale small extruder system was developed with the capability to perform the carbon fiber impregnation and extrusion process in order to evaluate the properties of long-length carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials molded by the LFT-D method. Specimens were made with the small extruder to press-mold long-length carbon fiber composite materials and evaluate their material properties. As a result, it was found that the carbon fiber length, press load and carbon fiber contents have a considerable influence on the strength and stiffness. Additional studies on such factors as the mixing screw design and coating of the carbon fiber are needed in order to improve the mechanical properties of carbon fiber composite materials.

In this study, resin flow analysis of resin transfer moulding (RTM) method was performed for mould design of composite structure. The target composite structure was a tank used for fluid storage. Natural c fiber composite was adopted for composite structural design of the fluid storage tank. RTM was adopted for manufacturing of the tank using natural fiber composites. Resin flow analysis was performed to find the proper RTM conditions of the tank. The resin flow analysis was performed using the commercial FEM flow simulation software. After repeated analysis while changing the location of resin inlet and outlet, the proper resin filling time and pattern were found.

단섬유 보강 플라스틱 복합재료에 사출성형에서 섬유배향은 금형 충전 공정 중의 유동장에 의해 결정되고 섬유의 배향 상태는 역으로 유동장에 영향을 미친다. 단섬유에 의 한 추가적인 응력을 포함하는 Dinh과 Armstrong의 이방성 구성방정식을 충전유동과 섬유 배향의 연계해석에 도입하였다. 충전유동의 해석은 새로운 압력 지배방정식과 에너지 방정 식을 유한요소법과 유한차분법을 이용하여 풀고 동시에 2차 배향 텐서의 변화방정식을 4차 Runge-kutta 방법으로 풀었다. 섬유의 배향상태를 구한 후에 일방향성 복합재료의 Halpin-Tsai 식과 배향 평균모델을 도입하여 사풀성형품의 이방성 기계적 성질이 예측되었 다. 직사각형 캐비티에서 수치해석결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 섬유배향과 유동과의 상호 연계작용을 특히 게이트 근처에서 섬유배향에 영향을 미치며 수치해석 결과는 벽면 근처에 서 유동방향으로 배향하는 shell층을 과대 예측함을 알수 있었는데 이는 배향 텐서 변화 방 정식의 최종근사에서 기인하는 오차로 판단된다. 수정된 복합최종 근사를 바탕으로 예측된 이방성 기계적 성질이 기존의 복합최종 근사에 기초한 예측보다 실험 결과에 정량적으로 보 다 잘 일치하였다.

In the present paper, an extended composite beam theory that has no restriction on the lay-up and can account for Poisson effect which is significant for composite materials is proposed. Buckling equations for composite thin-walled members which are subjected to axial compression are derived based on the composite beam theory. In order to check the validity of the derived buckling equations, the results of experiments on the flexural-torsional buckling of vinylester/E-glass and polyester/E-glass pultruded T-section members and the flexural buckling of vinylester/E-glass pultruded H-section members are used as numerical examples. The comparison of the analytical results to the experimental and FE analysis results reveals that the proposed buckling equations predict the buckling loads of pultruded members conservatively by about 7%.
