During a compression molding process of Unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composites, control of filling patterns in mold and distribution of fiber is needed to predict the effects of molding parameters on the flow characteristics. To obtain an excellent product and decide optimum molding conditions, it is important to know the relationship between molding conditions and viscosity. In this study, the anisotropic viscosity of the Unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composites is measured by using the parallel plastometer. The model for flow state has been simulated by using the viscosity. The composites is treated as an incompressible New-tonian fluid. The effects of longitudinal/transverse viscosity ration A and slip parameter $\alpha$ on buldging phenomenon and mold filling patterns, are also discussed.

The Compression molding process is widely used in the automotive industry to produce parts that are large, thin, light-weight, strong and stiff. Compression molded parts are formed by squeezing a glass fiber reinforced polypropylene sheet, known a glass mat thermoplastic(GMT), between two heated cavity surfaces. In this study, the anisotropic viscosity of the Unidirectional Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Composites is measured using the parallel plastometer and the composites is treated as an incompressible Newtonian fluid. The effects of molding parameter and fiber contents ratio on longitudinal/transverse viscosity are also discussed.

In this study, tests and finite element analyses were performed regarding compression after impact strength for laminated composite structures of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastic widely used in structural materials. Two lay-up sequences of composite laminates were selected as test specimens and four impact energy conditions were applied respectively. Impact and compressive strength tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM standards. Impact damages in test specimens were analyzed by using non-destructive inspection method of C-Scan, and compression after impact strengths were calculated with compressive test results. Progressive failure analysis method that can progressively simulate damages and fractures of fiber/matrix/lamina/laminate level was used for impact and compressive strength analyses. All analysis results including contact force, deflection, impact damages, compressive strengths, etc. were compared to test results, and the validity of analysis method was verified.

직물구조 복합재료는 일방향 섬유강화복합재료에 비해 변형능력이나 인장강도가 우수하므로, 항공우주, 첨단 산업 기기에 적용될 뿐만 아니라 다른 광범위한 분야에서 사용되고 있으나 복잡한 강화구조를 가지기 때문에 그 역학적 손상거동은 파악하기가 쉽지 않다. Uetsugi 등은 직물구조 CFRP 복합재에 대하여 미세구조를 고려한 유한요소모델을 제안하여 손상진전 해석하였고, 지금까지 많은 연구자에 의해 여러 가지 수법이 제안되어져 왔으나, 아직까지 명확한 파괴거동 해석수법이 확립되어 있지 않다.(중략)

치수효과는 콘크리트나 암석과 같은 quasi-brittle 재료들의 물리적 특성에 영향을 미친다. 모든 재료의 경우에 체적이 크면 흠이 클 수 있다. 구조물의 섬유 묶음 크기가 증가하면, 섬 유 강도가 감소하는 현상을 흔히 경험해 왔다. 복합재료내의 강도 분배와 치수사이의 관계를 특성 짓는 효과적인 방법은 아직 완전하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 경험에서 얻어진 Filament Wound 튜브에 사용되는 유리 섬유와 에폭시의 인장강도 감소비율 실험데이터로 얻은 그래프로부터 Crasto와 Kim의 일방향 보강된 AS4/3501-6복합재료의 90$^{\circ}$방향 인장강도에 대한 실험결과로부터 복합재료 봉구조재의 강도 치수효과를 증명하였다.

In this paper, the bearing strengths and fracture behaviors of the pin-jointed carbon fiber/epoxy composites were investigated through pin loading test with acoustic emission technique. The composites were fabricated by a filament winding process, and three types of laminated patterns were considered. Type 1 was fabricated with stitch, Type 2 was fabricated without stitich and Type 3 was fabricated with prepregs. According to the results, bearing strength of Type 1 was 3.3% lower than that of Type 2 and that of Type 3 was highest. Type 1 and Type 2 revealed a net-tension failure mode, respectively, whereas Type 3 pattern exhibited a bearing failure mode. Also, acoustic emission energy of the Type 3 was higher than that of the Type 1 and Type 2. Therefore, the Type 3 was found to be structurally safer than the Type 1 and Type 2.

The effects of fiber orientation on acoustic emission(AE) characteristics have been studied for the unidirectional and satin-weave, continuous glass-fiber reinforced plastic(UD-GFRP and SW-GFRP) tensile specimens. Reflection and transmission optical microscopy was used for investigation of the damage zone of specimens. AE signals were classified as different types by using short time fourier transform(STFT) : AE signals with high intensity and high frequency band were due to fiber fracture, while weak AE signals with low frequency band were due to matrix and interfacial cracking. The feature in the rate of hit-events having high amplitudes showed a process of fiber breakages, which expressed the characteristic fracture processes of individual fiber-reinforced plastics with different fiber orientations and with different notching directions. As a consequence, the fracture behavior of the continuous GFRP could be monitored as nondestructive evaluation(NDE) through the AE technique.

In this paper. tile validity of work factor approach was investigated to determine compressive fracture toughness of unidirectional graphite/epoxy composites under hydrostatic pressure environment. The elastic work factor was determined under various pressures as a function of delamination length. It was found that elastic work factor was not affected by hydrostatic pressure.

최근 선진국에서 차세대전투기와 고속철도차량 및 자동차 동체 등 경량화를 위해 복합재료의 사용범위가 증가되고 있다. 특히 강화재로서 섬유를 직물구조의 형태를 이용한 직물구조 CFRP 복합재료는 일방향 섬유에 비해 변형능력이나 기계적 특성이 우수하여 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 보강제와 같은 구조물 등에까지 그 사용이 확대되고 있다. 하지만 직물구조 CFRP 복합재료는 내부의 손상형태나 위치를 파악하기가 어렵고 직물구조의 복잡한 강화구조를 가지기 때문에 그 역학적 손상거동과 명확한 파괴거동 해석수법은 확립되어 있지 않다.(중략)
