The puncture properties under various conditions were investigated for the optimum conditions to yield the best properties. Fiber aspect ratio(AR: length of fiber/diameter of fiber), interphase condition and fiber content were considered as variables which impact the puncture force and friction force. The puncture force of short-fiber reinforced rubber increases up to 3.4 times compared to the virgin material. The better interphase condition shows the higher puncture force at given fiber AR and fiber content. The friction force of the matrix and reinforced rubber with a fiber AR below 155 does not exist. The friction force of the reinforced rubber with the good interphase condition and high fiber AR is higher than puncture force of matrix. Overall, it was found that the interphase condition, fiber AR and fiber content have an important effect on the puncture properties.

단섬유 보강 복합재료의 종횡비(aspect ratio)를 변화시키며 기계적 특성(탄성계수, 인장강도)을 평가하였다. 2차원 다중 파이버(multi-fiber) 모델을 이용하여 엇갈린(staggered) 배열과 규칙적(aligned) 배열에 대해 유한요소 해석을 하였다. 단섬유 복합재료의 유효탄성계수 및 인장강도는 섬유와 기지의 탄성계수비, 섬유 배열상태, 그리고 단섬유 종횡비의 함수로 표현되었으며, 해석결과의 탄성계수와 인장강도는 이론 모델의 결과와 사출 성형된 PEEK 복합재료 시험편의 결과와 비교하였다. 시험결과는 낮은 종횡비에서 이론 모델 결과와 일치함을 보였다. 단섬유 보강 복합재료의 배열 및 종횡비 변화에 따른 섬유보강 효과에 따른 계면응력 상태는 기계적 특성 결정에 중요한 영향을 보였다.

In an effort to construct a structure under the design principle of minimal use of materials for maximum performances, a discrete gradient structure has been introduced in laminate composite systems. Using a sequential linear programming method, the gradient structure of composites to maximize the buckling load was optimized in terms of fiber volume fraction and thickness of each layer. The buckling load showed maximum value with the outmost [$0^{\circ}$] layer concentrated by almost all the fibers when the ratio of length to width(aspect ratio) was less than 1.0. But when the aspect ratio was 2.0, the optimum was determined in a structure where the thickness and fiber volume fraction were well-balanced in each layer. From the optimization of gradient structure, the optimal fiber volume fraction and thickness of each layer were proposed. Gradient structures have also shown an advantage in the weight reduction of composites compared with the conventional homogeneous structures.

The puncture properties of short-fiber reinforced rubber were investigated as functions of fiber aspect ratio(AR: length of fiber/diameter of fiber), fiber content, specimen size and testing velocity. The puncture stresses of the matrix and short-fiber reinforced rubber decreased with specimen size, and increased with testing velocity at same specimen size. As the fiber AR increased the puncture stress at given fiber content also increased. The problem of the specimen shape was investigated by the comparison of the tensile strength with puncture stress. The forces acting in the membrane wall of the matrix and the short-fiber reinforced rubber showed a similar data regardless of specimen size. And those increased with testing velocity at same specimen size. As the fiber AR increased the force acting in the wall at given fiber content also increased. Overall, it was found that the specimen size, testing velocity had an important effects on the puncture properties.

The effects of the filler shapes and contents on the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for polypropylene (PP) composites which included three dimensional ellipsoids ($a_1>a_2>a_3$), as determined by two aspect ratios (${\rho}_\alpha=a_1/a_3$ and ${\rho}_\beta=a_1/a_2$) were analyzed by the theoretical approach proposed by Lee and Paul and compared with the experimental results. The shapes of fillers in the composites were various, such as spherical, fiber, disc, and ellipsoid, using barium sulfate, glass fiber, and mica. The longitudinal CTE of barium sulfate whose shape was sphere ($\rho_\alpha=\rho_\beta=1$) decreased. For the glass fiber, primary aspect ratio decreased with the filler content, and longitudinal CTE decreased as filler contents increased. Normal CTE initially increased in the lower filler content. For the mica, longitudinal and transverse CTE decreased but normal CTE increased in the lower filler content like predicted values.

The tensile properties of short nylon6 fiber reinforced NR and SBR have been investigated as functions of fiber aspect ratio(AR), diameter ratio(DR), interphase condition, and fiber content. The tensile strength increased with increasing fiber AR(20 min.) and good interphase conditions. The short-fiber(DR=3 and AR=20 min.) reinforced SBR did not show the dilution effect for all interrhase conditions. And the short-fiber(DR=3 and AR=20min.) reinforced NR did not show the dilution effect except for the no-coating. The tensile moduli were significantly improved due to fiber AR. fiber content, and good interphase at same DR. The better interphase condition showed the higher pull-out force at same DR. Also, the stress analysis near the fiber end carried out using axisymmetric FEA to be convinced of the reinforcing mechanism. It is found that the fiber AR, interphase and DR have an important effect on tensile properties.

Electromagnetic interference shielding composite with low density ($1.18g/cm^3$) was fabricated using electroless plated FeCo magnetic metal hollow fibers and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) polymer. Aspect ratio of the fibers were controlled and their hollow structure was obtained by heat treatment process. The FeCo hollow fibers were then mixed with EPDM to manufacture the composite. The higher aspect ratio of the magnetic metal hollow fibers resulted in high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (30 dB) of the composite due to its low sheet resistance (30 ohm/sq). The enhanced electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness was mainly attributed to the formation of conducting network over the percolation threshold by high aspect ratio of fibers as well as an increase of the reflection loss by impedance mismatch owing to low sheet resistance, absorption loss, and multiple internal reflections loss.

The objective of this study were to investigate the properties and to improve the disadvantages of the polymer concrete such as brittle fracture, large hardening shrinkage . In this paper, steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete is prepared with various steel fiber aspect ratios(ι/d), contents(vol.%), and their material characteristics were investigated experimentally . The aspect ration (ι/d) of the steel fiber was reversly proportional to slump value, and slump value tended to decrease as increase of steel fiber content . And harding shrinkage and impact resistance tended to be improved as the steel fiber content and aspect ration were increased.
