The Fiber/Metal Laminates (FMLs) have been developed as a new composite material for aerospace application to reduce weight and improve damage tolerance. In this study, firstly FMLs were manufactured and the tensile test was performed to investigate the mechanical properties of FMLs. Furthermore, impact behavior of the low velocity on FMLs which consisted of different types of aluminum or fiber/epoxy layers was tested by the drop weight impact tester based on the different impact energy conditions. The load-time and energy-time curves were employed to evaluate the impact performance of different specimens. Moreover, finite element analysis (FEA) was also performed to simulate the tensile test and impact behavior of FMLs under the same conditions with the tests and good agreements have been obtained between the FEA predictions and experimental results.

섬유강화 복합재료는 상대적으로 아주 높은 질량 대비 탄성계수를 가지고 있으므로 경량화 할 필요가 있는 물체나 관성력이 최소로 요구되는 부분에 사용되고 있다. 대부분의 복합재료판들은 고탄성-저신도 섬유를 사용하여 만든 단층의 복합재료를 그배향 방향을 조절하여 원하는 방향 특성으로 접근한다. 그러나 다층으로 만들어 2차원의 등방성 소재로 만들어 사용하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 경우에는 여러 층을 결합 하여야 하는 번거로움과 두께의 제약 등이 있다. (중략)

Although thermoset carbon fiber composite bipolar plates not only have high mechanical properties but also high corrosion resistance in acid environment, high manufacturing cost and low bulk electrical conductivity are the biggest obstacle to overcome. In this research, thermoplastic polymer is employed for the matrix of carbon composite bipolar plate to increase both the manufacturing productivity and bulk electric conductivity of the bipolar plate. In order to increase the electrical conductivity and strength, plain type carbon fabric rather than chopped or unidirectional fibers is used. Also nano particles are embedded in the thermoplastic matrix to increase the bulk resistance of the bipolar plate. The area specific resistance and the mechanical strength of the developed bipolar plate are measured with respect to the environmental temperature and stack compaction pressure.

In this research, damage behavior of singly oriented ply (SOP) fiber metal laminate (FML) subjected to concentrated load was studied. The static indentation tests were conducted to study fiber orientation effect on damage behavior of FML. During the static indentation tests, acoustic emission technique (AE) was adopted to study damage characteristics of FML. AE signals were obtained by using AE sensor with 150kHz resonance frequency and the signals were compared with indentation curves of FML. The damage process of SOP FML was divided by three parts, i.e., crack initiation, crack propagation, and penetration. The AE characteristics during crack initiation show that the micro crack is initiated at lower ply of the plate, then propagate along the thickness of the plate with creating tiber debonding. The crack grow along the fiber direction with occurring 60∼80dB AE signal. During the penetration, the fiber breakage was observed. As fiber orientation increases, talc fiber breakage occurs more frequently. The AE signal behaviors support these results. Cumulative AE counts could well predict crack initiation and crack propagation and AE amplitude were useful for the prediction of damage failure mode.

Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) has been developed to overcome the low tensile strengths and brittleness of conventional concrete. Considering that UHPC, owing to its composition and the use of steel fibers, develops a compressive strength of 180 MPa as well as high stiffness, the top flange of the steel girder may be superfluous in the composite beam combining a slab made of UHPC and the steel girder. In such composite beam, the steel girder takes the form of an inverted-T shaped structure without top flange in which the studs needed for the composition of the steel girder with the UHPC slab are disposed in the web of the steel girder. This study investigates experimentally and analytically the flexural behavior of this new type of composite beam to propose details like stud spacing and slab thickness for further design recommendations. To that goal, eight composite beams with varying stud spacing and slab thickness were fabricated and tested. The test results indicated that stud spacing running from 100 mm to 2 to 3 times the slab thickness can be recommended. In view of the relative characteristic slip limit of Eurocode-4, the results showed that the composite beam developed ductile behavior. Moreover, except for the members with thin slab and large stud spacing, most of the specimens exhibited results different to those predicted by AASHTO LRFD and Eurocode-4 because of the high performance developed by UHPC.

원자로의 가동 중지 중이나 재장전시 원자로가 설치되어 있는 수조의 냉각수가 증기발생기 안으로 유입되는 것을 막는 장비로써 노즐댐을 사용한다. 현재의 노즐댐은 알루미늄 재질로 그 무게가 무거워 노즐댐 작업자가 취급하기 어렵다. 이 노즐댐의 경량화와 동시에 구조적 강도를 증가시키기 위해서 비강성이 높은 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료와 굽힘 강성 및 전단강성을 증가시키기 위하여 벌집구조(honeycomb)의 알루미늄을 사용하여 KAERI 노즐댐-II를 설계하였다. 노즐댐에 발생하는 응력 해석을 통하여 중앙판과 측면판의 변위가 충분히 작은 값을 가지면서 파괴지수도 충분히 작은 값이 되는 탄소섬유의 적층각도를 구하였으며, 중앙판은 ［$\pm$15］로 적층하고 측면판은 ［$\pm$45 ］로 적층 하였다. 그리고 각 판의 최대 파괴지수는 중앙판의 경우 0.32, 측면판의 경우 0.27 이었고 최대변위는 각각 3.1mm, 2.7mm로 노즐댐을 사용할 때 예상되는 하중에 대하여 노즐댐의 구조적 건전성을 입증하였다.

This study was carried out to examine the effect of manufacturing factors on physical properties of hardboard (S.I.S) made from the juvenile wood of sycamore (Platanus orientalis L.) The results obtained may be summarized as follows: 1. The difference among the yields of pulp treated with preheat time (defibrate condition) was significant in those of treatments. There was no difference in the yield of pulp treated with defibrate time. The yields of pulp on the tree age classes were shown the difference by 2<4<6<8 years. 2. The specific gravities of hardboard that were treated with hot pressing conditions showed us significantly in those of treatments. There was no difference on the specific gravities among hardboards, treated with resin and wax contents. But in all cases of the specific gravities satisfied the standard which specified the KS F 3203 (Hardboard) 3. The moisture contents of hardboard satisfied the standard which calls for 13-percent below. There were difference in moisture contents between hardboard, treated with preheating time, resin and wax contents and hot pressing conditions. And the moisture contents of hardboard on the tree age classes showed the difference by 2<4<6<8 years. 4. The water absorption and thickness swelling of hardboard treated with defibrations, resin and wax contents, and hot pressing conditions were significant in those of treatments.

This study was to investigate the adhesion properties of fancy veneer and base panels and formaldehyde emission of wood-based floorings bonded with urea-melamine formaldehyde adhesives. We focused on stoichiometric mole ratio of reactive functional groups. The urea-melamine formaldehyde adhesives were made at twelve different formaldehyde/urea-melamine mole ratios. The interlaminated shear strength and formaldehyde emission of wood-based floorings bonded with selected adhesive among these adhesives were examined. The results showed that the bonding properties were high and the formaldehyde emission was low as the adhesive consisted of stoichiometric mole ratio of formaldehyde/urea-melamine. Interlaminated shear strengths of HDF(High Density Fiberboard) flooring were over 14 kgf/cm² at all mole ratios. At the mole ratio of 1.0, HDF flooring showed low value of formaldehyde emission of 953 mg/L. Interlaminated shear strengths of Plywood flooring were high, 14.02 kgf/cm² at mole ratio of 1.4. At the mole ratio of 1.0, Plywood flooring showed low value of formaldehyde emission of 0.26 mg/L.

Tensile properties of carbon fiber reinforce composite laminates with non-woven carbon mat are evaluated in this paper. Composite laminates are made by inserting non-wovon carbon mat between layers, The specimens were cut and polished according to ASTM standard . Longitudinal and Transverse Young's modulus are obtained by tensile test. Young's moduli without non-woven carbon mat are compared with those with non-woven carbon mat. Longitudinal and Transverse tensile strength are also investigated. Experimental results show that the transverse Young's modulus of composite materials with non-woven carbon mat is about 10% higher than that of composite materials without non-woven carbon mat. Longitudinal tensile strength of composite materials with non-woven carbon mat is about 24% higher than that of composite materials without non-woven carbon mat. Transverse tensile strength and torughness also increase by inserting non-woven carbon mat between layers.
