Generally, fiber-reinforced composites have the highest possibilities of impact damages with external object collisions. Also, resulting in fatigue fracture considering the continued impact load. For the reasons mentioned above, the accurate understanding of interactions between the impact of composites and the fatigue load will be essential to understand the safety level of material structures. Furthermore, the composite materials and structures, due to the geometrical effect, vary the life in connection with the impact-fatigue. Therefore, I have reached the point that a focus of this study will be to evaluate fatigue fracture characteristics by the impacts-fatigue load of fiber-reinforced composites. Thus, in this paper, I have tried to work on impacts-fatigue load causing aspects and impact characteristics through impact-fatigue test on HTV-5Hl Black 9250 material made- structure, along with to evaluate the expected lift of real structures, the FEM analysis was carried out.

Although carbon nanotubes(CNTs) have outstanding theoretical mechanical and electrical properties, CNT fibers(CNTFs) have not yet reached that level. Particularly, tensile strength is only about 10% or less, so studies for making up for it are being actively conducted. As a way for improving mechanical strength, methods such as synthesizing long CNT, orientation, chemical cross-linking, hydrogen bonding and polymer infiltration are being studied. In this review paper, we report preparation methods for highly conductive and strong CNTF/Carbon composites through coating and infiltration followed by carbonization of carbon precursor polymers such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polydopamine (PDA) on CNTFs.

This study was conducted to estimate peeling and vapor adsorption properties made with fabric glass fiber reinforced laminated timber according to our earlier report(Jung et al., 2002). In adsorption peeling test, three all types solid wood were not appeared the peeling. However, solid wood appeared to the peeling in boiling peeling test except for control wood. Vapor adsorption test was performed at 40℃, 90% relative humidity for 48 hours. Cross sections were not different all solid wood. Radial section and tangential section with glass fiber were delayed vapor adsorption compared to control wood. In anisotropy of vapor adsorption, solid wood with glass fiber were small values.

Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC) such as ZrB₂, ZrC, HfB₂, HfC and TaC have been recently investigated for the application to hyper-sonic systems such as nose-cone, rocket nozzle and leading edge. In this paper, the recent research results about UHTC have been reviewed. Domestic and international research results about UHTC mainly during the last 5 years were briefly summarized. Also, the results of C³HARME project, which was one of the Horizon 2020 program in EU, to get over the problems of UHTC such as brittleness through the fabrication of ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites (UHTCMC) were briefly introduced.

This study aimed to investigate the reinforcing effect of two kinds of glass fiber, Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh and SES MESH$^{(R)}$ and to evaluate the effect of the thermocycling on the transverse strength of the denture base and on the reinforcing effect of the reinforcements. 20 specimens of the size of $2.5{\times}10.0{\times}65.0mm$ were fabricated for each group; control group, metal mesh reinforcement group, Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh reinforcement group and SES MESH$^{(R)}$ reinforcement group. To find the difference made by the thermocycling, 10 specimens of each reinforcement group were treated by thermocycling. 3-point bending test was performed to measure the transverse strength of the denture base resin. The specimens reinforced with SES MESH$^{(R)}$ and Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh showed significantly higher transverse strength than the control group (P<.05), and significantly lower transverse strength than the specimens reinforced with the metal mesh (P<.05). Thermocycled specimens were lower in transverse strength than non-thermocycled specimens in the control group, metal mesh group, Quarts Splint$^{TM}$ Mesh group and SES MESH$^{(R)}$ group, however significant difference (P<.05) was found only in the control group.

FMLC(Fiber-Metal Laminate Composites) is a new structural material combining thin metal laminate with adhesive fiber prepreg, it nearly include all the advantage of metallic materials, for example: good plasticity, impact resistance, processibility, light weight and excellent fatigue properties. This research studied the optimum design of the FMLC subject to various loading conditions using genetic algorithm. The finite element method based on the shear deformation theory was used for the analysis of FMLC. Tasi-Hill failure criterion and Miser yield criterion were taken as fitness functions of the fiber prepreg and the metal laminate, respectively. The design variables were fiber orientation angles. In genetic algorithm, the tournament selection and the uniform crossover method were used. The elitist model was also used to be effective evolution strategy and the creeping random search method was adopted in order to approach a solution with high accuracy. Optimization results were given for various loading conditions and compared with CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic). The results show that the FMLC is more excellent than the CFRP in point and uniform loading conditions and it is more stable to unexpected loading because the deviation of failure index is smaller than that of CFRP.

In a natural fiber-reinforced composite material, many studies have been devoted to improving the interfacial adhesion between natural fiber and polymer matrix and the composite properties through various fiber surface modifications. In the present study, waste wool-reinforced polypropylene matrix composites were fabricated by compression molding and their mechanical and impact properties were characterized. As a result, the tensile and flexural properties and the impact strength of waste wool/polypropylene composites strongly depended on the treatment medium, alkali treatment with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and silane treatment with 3-glycidylpropylsilane(GPS). The composite with waste wool by silane treatment exhibited higher mechanical properties and impact resistance than that by alkali treatment. The fracture surfaces of the composites support qualitatively the increased properties, showing the improved interfacial bonding between the waste wool and the polypropylene matrix.

Injection molding is the most widely used process for the industrial forming of plastic articles. During an injection molding process of composites, the fiber-matrix separation and fiber orientation are caused by the flow of molten polymer/fiber mixture. As a result, the product tends to be nonhomogeneous and anisotropic. Hence, it is very important to clarify the relations between separation·orientation and infection molding conditions. So far, there is no research on the measurement of fiber orientation using image processing. In this study, the effects of fiber content ratio and molding condition on the fiber orientation-angle distributions are studied experimentally. Using the image processing method, the fiber orientation distribution of welding parts in injection-molded products is assessed. And the effects of fiber content and injection mold shapes on the fiber orientation in case of fiber reinforced polymeric composites are studied. experimentally.

The fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites(FRTP) were prepared with polypropylene fiber(PPF) as matrix and vinylon(VF), Aramid(KF) or nylon fiber(PAF) as reinforcing materials using the integrated fiber mixing apparatus. The composite sheets were prepared by compression molding and their impact and morphological properties were characterized. VF/PP system showed the maximum value in Izod impact strength, while KF/PP system showed the maximum value in high rate impact properties. Ductility Index(DI) order was VF/PP>KF/PP>PAF/PP. A maximum DI for VF/PP, 2.43, was obtained when the weight fraction of VF was 20%. The optimum amount of the reinforcing organic fiber was found to be 20~30%. As a result, it is concluded that VF/PP system has better interfacial adhesion properties than either KF/PP or PAF/PP.

면직물의 황토염색에 대한 세탁견뢰도 증진을 위하여 대두콩즙을 전처리하거나 염액에 쌀풀이나 아교 또는 소금을 첨가한다. 이러한 물질들은 황토와 섬유사이의 결찹을 강화시키는 역할을 한다[1,2]. 그러나 염착성의 개선을 위하여 반복염색이 행하여지며 기존 고착제의 처리방법은 복잡하고 재현성이 없는 단점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 콩즙, 탈지유, 키토산 등을 고착제로 사용하여 염착량, 색상 변화 및 세탁과 마찰견뢰도를 분석하여 황토염색의 고착제로서의 가능성을 조사하였다. (중략)
