The reinforcing effects of ductile short-fiber reinforced brittle matrix composites are studied by, measuring flexural strength, fracture toughness and impact energy as functions of fiber volume fraction and length. The parameters of fracture mechanics, K and J are applied to assess fracture toughness and bridging stress. It is found that fracture toughness is greatly, influenced by the bridging stress ill which fiber pull-out is occur. For the reinforcing effects as functions of fiber volume fraction($V_f$ = 1, 2, 3 %) and length(L = 3, 6. 10cm), the flexural strength is maximum at $V_f$ = 1% and both fracture toughness.

Interfacial and microfailure properties of carbon liber/bismaleimide (BMI) composites were evaluated using both tensile fragmentation and compressive Broutman tests with acoustic emission (AE). Since BMI is rather difficult matrix to apply for the conventional fragmentation test because of its too low elongation and too brittle and high modulus properties, dual matrix composite system was applied. After carbon fiber/BMI composite was prepared for rod shape by controlling differing curing stage, composites rod was embedded in toughened epoxy as outer matrix. The typical microfailure modes including fiber break, matrix cracking, and interlayer failure were observed during tensile testing, whereas the diagonal slippage in fiber ends was observed during compressive test. On the other hand, AE amplitudes of BMI matrix fracture were higher than carbon fiber tincture under tensile test because BMI matrix has very brittle and high modulus. The waveform of signals coming from BMI matrix fractures was consistent with AE amplitude result under tensile tests.

취성기지 복합재료는 섬유와 기지 사이에 계면분리가 존재하는 경우가 있는데 이것은 복합재료의 강도와 강성저하의 원인이 된다. 계면분리와 섬유체적비가 복합재료의 기계적 물성치에 미치는 영향에 대만 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 우선 몇 가지 가정하에 복합재료를 구성하는 섬유와 기지에 대하여 간단하게 모델링하고 이웃하는 대표체적요소의 경계를 따라 응력과 변위 연속조건을 부과하였다. 강성상수들을 역변환하여 복합재료의 유효물성치를 구하였다. 완전접착의 경우 수치해를 혼합물법칙에 의한 이론해와 비교한 결과 일치함을 알 수 있었고 계면분리가 큰 경우 섬유체적비가 증가하더라도 물성치가 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 고온 산화분위기 하에서 탄소/탄소 복합재료의 내산화 특성 향상을 위해 사용된 이규화 몰리브덴(MoSi$_2$)의 함량(0. 4, 12. 그리고 20 wt%)에 따른 복합재료의 충격특성에 관하여 고찰하였다. 결과로서, MoSi$_2$가 함침된 탄소/탄소 복합재료는 이를 함유하지 않은 것에 비하여 충격특성 향상의 원인이 되는 탄소섬유와 매트릭스 수지간의 계면결합력 증가를 가져왔으며, 특히 12 wt% MoSi$_2$가 현재의 시스템에서 가장 우수한 충격특성을 나타내었다. 이는 복합재료 내의 탄소섬유, 필러, 그리고 매트릭스 수지간의 계면 접착력의 증가를 가져오는 90$0^{\circ}C$ 전후에서 MoSi$_2$의 취성­연성 전이(BDT) 작용 때문이라 사료된다.

Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) represent a class of non-brittle refractory materials for harsh and extreme environments in aerospace and other applications. The quasi-ductility of these structural materials depends on the quality of the interface between the matrix and the fiber surface. In this study, a manufacture route is described where in contrast to most other processes no additional fiber coating is used to adjust the fiber/matrix interfaces in order to obtain damage tolerance and fracture toughness. Adapted microstructures of uncoated carbon fiber preforms were developed to permit the rapid infiltration of molten alloys and the subsequent reaction with the carbon matrix. Furthermore, any direct reaction between the melt and fibers was minimized. Using pure silicon as the reactive melt, C/SiC composites were manufactured with an aim of employing the resulting composite for friction applications. This paper describes the formation of the microstructure inside the C/C preform and resulting C/C-SiC composite, in addition to the MAX phases.

본 연구는 알루미늄 합금(AC8A)과 금속복합재료 (A1/A12O3) 및 혼합금속 복합재료(A1/A12O3/A12O3p)의 피로시험 결과 비교와, 일정진폭 피로 하중으로부터 예측한 수명과 실험으로부터 얻은 피로 수명의 비교하는 것이고, 음향방출(Acoustic Emission, AE) 방법을 이용하여 피로 시험 시 균열 발생의 측정 및 예측을 하고자 하였다. 노치재의 실험결과에 따르면, 세라믹 보강재의 첨가로 인해 기지재 보다 연성이 저하된 하이브리드 금속 복합재료와 단일 금속 복합재료의 피로 수명은 두 가지 하중 조건에서 모두 기지재 보다 더욱 짧은 수명을 나타내었다. 또한 누적피로수명평가 방법을 통해 예측된 피로수명은 랜덤하중 하에서 실험을 통해 얻어진 피로 수명과 거의 일치하였다.

In oxide matrix-SiC(W) composites, instability and glassy phase formation due to oxidation at the high temperature and the diffusion of Si, respectively, cause brittle fracture and low reliability for ceramic materials. The mode of contribution in each mechanisms induced by matrix-whisker debonding, varies with the morphology of matrix-whisker interfaces. This work has described the dispersion behaviours and stabilization mechanisms in slip systems, and multiple toughening mechanisms by dint of two second phase different from each other when spherical ZrO2 and chemically stable Al2O3(W) is respectively added in Al2O3 matrix. To obtain complexshaped components, slip casted bodies were sintered at 1$600^{\circ}C$, 2hrs up to 98~99% R.D.. Multiple toughening mechanisms in comparison with theories reported until now will be discussed as a result of the phase analysis of ZrO2 by athermal behaviours and microstructural characterizations as well as measured mechanical properties.

In the present study an elastic-plastic strain analysis is carried out for fibrous composites by using numerical modeling. Application of homogeneous transversely-isotropic model was chosen based on problem solution of a square plate with a circular hole under uniaxial tension. The results obtained in this study correspond to the solution of fiber model trial problem, as well as to analytical solution. Further, numerical algorithm and software has been developed, based on simplified theory of small elastic strains for transversely-isotropic bodies, and FEM. The influence of holes and cracks on stress state of complicated configuration transversely-isotropic bodies has been studied. Strain curves and plasticity zones that are formed in vicinity of the concentrators has been provided. Numerical values of effective mechanical parameters calculated for unidirectional composites at different ratios of fiber volume content and matrix. Content volume proportions of fibers and matrix defined for fibrous composite material that enables to behave as elastic-plastic body or as a brittle material. The influences of the fibrous structure on stress concentration in vicinity of holes on boron/aluminum D16, used as an example.

It is well known in the fracture mechanics community that the fracture toughness of brittle materials, such as ceramics, can be improved improves significantly when fibers are added into the material. This is because in presence of fibers the cracks cannot propagate as freely as it can in absence of them. Fibers bridge the gap between two adjacent surfaces of the crack and reduce the crack tip opening displacement, thus make it harder to propagate. Several investigators have experimentally studied how the length, diameter and volume fraction of fibers affect the fracture toughness of chopped strand reinforced matrix composite materials. In this paper, matrix used ALS, Arizona Lunar Simulant, types of fiber used carbon steels and stainless steels. To analyze quantitatively fiber reinforced ALS composites, experimental and analytical methods was progressed. Load-displacement curve is used to experimental method, and FEM analysis program using ABAQUS is used analytical method.

Using non-biodegradable polymers is a severe environmental problem as they are not recyclable and generate a large amount of waste. Biopolymers, such as starch-based composites, have been considered one of the most promising replacement materials. These eco-friendly materials have the advantage of being low-cost, biodegradable, and obtained from renewable sources. However, as starch tends to be brittle and hydrophilic, it can make these materials unusable when exposed to water and limit its processability for further applications. In this work, a biobased modified starch was grafted using two bioderived materials, lauryl methacrylate (LMA) and tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate (THFMA), by radical polymerization. A polylactic acid (PLA) composite based on the modified starch (m-St) was fabricated to enhance its toughness. These samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR analysis, optical and scanning electron microscopy. The starch was successfully grafted, thus improving the compatibility with the PLA matrix. The mechanical properties of these films were also studied. Results from mechanical tests showed a slight enhancement of the mechanical performance of these composites when m-St was added to the PLA matrix. Such behavior is related to the improved dispersion of m-St 1:2 on PLA, confirmed by SEM images showing enhanced compatibility between modified starch and PLA matrix. This indicated excellent properties of the produced composite film for further eco-friendly applications.
