This study was performed to evaluate the flexural behavior of Hybrid fiber sheet (HFC) and Hybrid fiber bar (HFB) strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. According to test results, Hybrid fiber reinforcement strengthened RC beams showed approximately 60 to 200% higher reinforcing effects than that of un-reinforced specimens. In addition, the reinforced beams showed the ideal failure pattern, which is failed presenting the ductile behavior after yielding of the reinforcing bar. More specifically, in the case of HFB reinforced RC beams, the difference with puttying method was not apparent since HFB beams reinforced using the injection of epoxy and bonding of putty showed the similar failure patterns.

In this study, we investigated the effect of fiber alignment in helicoidal structure on the mechanical properties of biomimetic fiber-reinforced composites. Using finite element analysis, circular biomimetic fiber composites were designed and studied. Various amounts of pressure loads were applied to a surface of the composites, and then bending and failure behaviors of the composites were analyzed. The results showed various failure morphologies according to the orientation of the fibers, and it turned out that the fiber alignment in helicoidal structure significantly improved the bending strength of the composite under pressure loading. This was because the fiber alignment in various directions for each layer dispersed effectively the fracture energy from the external load into multiple directions.

최근 용융방사섬유의 제조에 이용되고 있는 고속방사법은 높은 신장속도하에서 일어나는 배향결정화에 의한 섬유구조형성을 목적으로 하는 방사법으로, 방사선에서의 동력학은 폴리머의 열특성, 냉각거동 및 방사선상에서 작용하는 응력 등의 많은 인자에 의해 영향을 받는다. 복합섬유란 특수한 복합방사장치를 이용하여 두 개의 폴리머가 동시에 압출되어 하나의 필라멘트를 형성하도록 방사한 섬유로써 권축섬유, 열융착형섬유, 이형단면섬유, 전도성섬유, 초극세섬유 등 특수한 섬유의 제조에 이용되기 때문에 그 상업적 관심도가 크다[1].(중략)

Concrete structures become more common in railway systems with an advancement of high speed train technologies. As the service life of concrete structures increases, structural strengthening for concrete structures may be necessary. There are several typical strengthening techniques using steel plate and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, which have their own inherent shortcomings. In order to enhance greater durability and resistance to fire and other environmental attacks, basalt fiber material attracts engineer's attention due to its characteristics. This study investigates bonding performance of basalt fiber sheet as a structural strengthening material. Experimental variables include bond width, length and number of layer. From the bonding tests, there were three different types of bonding failure modes: debonding, rupture and rip-off. Among the variables, bond width indicated more significant effect on bonding characteristics. In addition the bond length did not contribute to bond strength in proportion to the bond length. Hence this study evaluated effective bond length and effective bond strength. The effective bond strength was compared to those suggested by other researches which used different types of FRP strengthening materials such as carbon FRP.

A cylindrical composite lattice structure is manufactured by filament winding. The distribution of nonuniform fiber volume fraction induced by the manufacturing process can be observed. The stiffness and buckling characteristics can be influenced by non-uniform fiber volume fraction. In this paper, the effect of non-uniform fiber volume fraction through thickness direction on the torsional buckling load of the cylindrical composite lattice structure was examined. The stiffness variation induced by the non-uniform fiber volume fraction was applied to the finite element model, and buckling analysis was performed. The variations of buckling load with variations of fiber volume fraction were compared. The non-uniform fiber volume fraction reduced the torsional buckling load of the composite lattice structure.

The present engineering sector focused on the sandwich composites and almost covered all engineering fields because of decent mechanical properties with a lightweight structure. It mainly consists of high strength fiber skin and porous structure core like corrugated, honeycomb, balsa wood, and foams which is playing a pivotal role in weight reduction. Recently researchers attention grabbed by Natural fiber sandwich composites due to biodegradability, renewable, low-cost, and environmentally friendly. However special focus is highly needed towards the flammability behavior of natural fibers used as reinforcement for composites. Herein, for the first time, the flame retardant natural fiber sandwich composite was fabricated by using flame retardant treated bamboo fabric and vinyl ester via the VARTM process. The impact of flame retardant treated bamboo fabric on mechanical and flame retardant properties were studied. The results concluded that the fabricated bamboo sandwich composites show structurally lightweight with significant mechanical strength and feasibility with respect to the flame.

RADAR Absorbing Structure (RAS), one of stealth technologies, is a multifunctional composite that is capable of supporting load and absorbing electromagnetic waves. In order to supplement the shortcomings of the existing RAS, a hybrid RAS in which the short carbon fiber layers were inserted has been proposed. However, the inserted short carbon fiber layers may affect the mechanical properties of the structure. Therefore, this study measured the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the hybrid RAS with the inserted short carbon fiber layer. The ILSS of hybrid composite with different areal densities of the short carbon fiber layer was measured to investigate the effect of changes in the areal density of the short carbon fiber layer on the ILSS of the structure. In addition, the ILSS of the 4 kinds of the hybrid RAS were measured and compared with the ILSS of glass/epoxy. As a result of the measurement, it was confirmed that the short carbon fiber layer did not significantly affect the ILSS of the hybrid composite and the hybrid RAS.

In this study, the flexural strength and curvature ductility factor of single and hybrid fiber reinforced ultra high strength concrete flexural members with conventional steel rebar were evaluated by experimental program with 3-UHSC beams. Test specimens were loaded by 4-pointed flexural loading. According to the test results, hybrid fiber reinforced UHPC test specimens had higher moment resisting capacity and ductility. For the safe design of hybrid fiber reinforced UHPC, test specimens were analyzed according to the sectional analysis method with material models suggested by K-UHPC design recommendation. Current K-UHPC design recommendation predict the moment resisting capacity of member conventionally and over-estimated the ductility.

흑연(graphite), 석탄(coal), 숯(char), soot(검댕이) 등의 탄소로 이루어진 재료들은 비정질부터 완전한 흑연결정까지 다양한 구조를 나타낸다. 이러한 탄소재료의 구조의 출발물질 뿐 아니라 열처리에 따라 강한 영향을 받는다 이러한 구조는 여러 구조인자에 의해 특성화되는데, 구조인자로는 층간거리 d, 결정립 크기 Lc 그리고 결정립 직경 La이다. 이런 구조 인자의 지식은 흑연화, 탄소화, 가스화 등과 같은 다양한 공정을 이해하는데 매우 중요하다. 많은 연구자들은 XRD, Raman 분광, 고분해능 TEM 등과 같은 여러 기술을 통하여 이러한 구조인자에 대한 해석을 시도하였다. 그 중 XRD는 정량적 분석에 있어서 가장 많이 이용되는 기술이다. XRD 회절피크의 위치로부터 층간거리 d를 구할 수 있으며, 결정립 크기 Lc 및 결정립 직경 La는 피크의 line 퍼짐(반가폭)으로 직접 구할 수 있다. 한편 섬유상 흡착제로 이용되는 등방성 탄소섬유는 이산화탄소 또는 수증기에 의해 쉽게 활성화되어 최고 약 2,500 $m^2$/g의 고 비 표면적을 얻을 수 있다. 이렇게 활성화 후 고 비표면적을 나타내는 이유는 좁은 분포를 나타내는 미세기공의 기공구조 때문에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다.
