Ultimate goals in vehicle design can be summarized as environment-friendliness and safety. Along with these requirements, the importance of natural environment conservation has been focused lately. Therefore, reduced emission from vehicle and improved efficiency has become the top priority projects throughout the world. CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) of the advanced composite materials as structure materials for vehicles, has a widely application in lightweight structural materials of air planes, ships and automobiles because of high strength and stiffness. This study is to investigate the energy absorption characteristics of CFRP hat-shaped section members under the axial impact collapse test. The CFRP hat-shaped section members which manufactured from unidirectional prepreg sheets were made of 8plies. The axial impact collapse tests were carried out for each section members. The collapse mode and energy absorption characteristics were analyzed for CFRP hat-shaped section member according to the interface numbers(2, 3, 4, 6 and 7).

하이브리드 복합재료는 FRP나 MMC와 같은 복합재료에 비하여 높은 비강도, 내피로 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 하이브리드 복합재료는 금속과 FRP의 결합구조로 되어있기 때문에 매우 복잡한 파손기구를 가지고 있다. 최근에는 비파괴 기법을 이용하여 이러한 복합재료의 파손기구를 평가하고자 하는 연구가 수행되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음향방출 기법을 이용하여 Al7075/CFRP 하이브리드 복합재료에 대한 손상정도 및 파손기구를 명확히 하고자 하였다. 특히 AE 사상수, 에너지, 진폭과 같은 AE 파라미터들은 Al7075/CFRP 하이브리드 복합재료의 파손과정을 평가하는데 효과적이었다. 더불어, 광학현미경을 이용하여 AE 신호와 시험편의 표면소상 특성과의 관계를 비교, 검토하였다.

Carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials have been widely used in various industrial fields because the design variables can be adjusted according to the application of the required structure. Thermosetting and thermoplastic resins are used as the base materials of CFRP composites for the lightweight construction of automotive components. Thermoplastics have several advantages such as no curing and recyclability compared to thermosetting resin. In this study, CFRP composites were made using the Long-Fiber Thermoplastic-Direct (LFT-D) process. The LFT-D process includes an in-line production system that directly impregnates a thermoplastic resin, extrudes the composite material, and molds it. This process increases the strength and decreases the molding time. The tensile strength characteristics on the mechanical properties of CFRP were analyzed according to the parameters of LFT-D based on thermoplastics. To analyze the properties of CFRP, the specimens were prepared based on the tensile test standard ASTM 3039 of composite materials.

A variety of composite materials are applied to industries for the realization of light weight and high strength. Fiber-reinforced composites have different strength and range of application depending on the weaving method. The mechanical performance of CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) in many areas has already been demonstrated. Recently, the application of hybridization has been increasing in order to give a compensation for brittleness of CFRP. Target materials are UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), which has excellent cutting and chemical resistance, so it is applied not only to industrial safety products but also to places that lining performance is expected for household appliances. In this study, the CFRP and UHMWPE of plain weave, which are highly applicable to curved products, were molded into laminated hybrid composite materials by autoclave method. The mechanical properties and the mode I failure behavior between the layers were evaluated. The energy release rate G has decreased as the initial crack length ratio increased.

Recently, many structures using lightweight materials have been developed. This study was conducted by using Al6061-T6 and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), two common lightweight materials. In addition, the failure characteristics of an interface bonded between a single material and a heterogeneous bonding material were analyzed. The specimens bonded with CFRP and Al6061-T6 were utilized by the combination of the heterogeneous bonding material. The specimens had a double cantilevered shape and the bonding between the materials was achieved by applying a structural adhesive. The experiments were conducted in opening mode: the lower part of the samples was fixed, while their upper part was subjected to a forced displacement of 3 mm/min by using a tensile tester. Under the tested amount of strength, energy release rate, and considering the specimens' fracture characteristics in opening mode, the specimen "CFRP-Al" presented the maximum stress, followed by "Al" and "CFRP". We can hence conclude that the inhomogeneous material "CFRP-Al" is useful for the construction of lightweight structures bonded with structural adhesive.

An aluminum or CFRP (Carbon Fiber ReinfDrced Plastics)is representative one of light-weight materials but its axial collapse mechanism is different from each other. The aluminum member absorbs energy by stable plastic deformation, while the CFRP member absorbs energy by unstable brittle failure with higher specific strength and stiffness than those in the aluminum member. In an attempt to achieve a synergy effect by combining the two members, aluminum CFRP compound square members were manufactured, which are composed of aluminum members wrapped with CFRP outside aluminum square members with different fiber orientation angle and thickness of CFRP, and axial collapse tests were performed fur the members. The axial collapse characteristics of the compound members were analyzed and compared with those of the respective aluminum members and CFRP members. Test results showed that the collapse of the aluminum CFRP compound member complemented unstable brittle failure of the CFRP member due to ductile characteristics of the inner aluminum member. The collapse modes were categorized into four modes under the iuluence of the fiber orientation angle and thickness of CFRP. The absorbed energy Per unit mass, which is in the light-weight aspect was higher in the aluminum CFRP compound member than that in the aluminum member and the CFRP member alone.

직조 형태의 복합재료의 파손 메커니즘은 복합적이다. 지금까지 평직 복합재료를 대상으로 많은 연구가 이루어졌으나, 파괴 저항성 거동은 아직도 표준화 되지 못한 실정이다. 또한 섬유배열방향에 따라 다른 거동을 보인다. 그래서 하중방향에 대한 섬유배열방향에 따른 파괴 저항성 평가가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 평직 CFRP 복합재료를 대상으로 다양한 섬유배열방향에 따른 파손강도 및 파괴 저항성 평가를 수행하였다.(섬유배열 방향: $0^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$) CT 시험편을 이용하여 모드 I 조건으로 시험을 수행하였다.

우주 구조물을 위협하는 여러 요소들 중 MMOD(MicroMeteoroid and Orbital Debris)는 약 8~70km/s의 속도로 우주 구조물과 충돌하여 큰 피해를 주고 있다. 이러한 피해로부터 우주 구조물을 보호하기 위해서 현재 다양한 위플 쉴드가 연구, 적용되고 있다. 위플 쉴드에는 알루미늄이 주로 사용되고 있지만, 복합재료의 시용도 증가하고 있어 본 연구에서는 알루미늄과 복합 재료의 초고속 충돌 특성을 유한 요소 해석을 통해 비교하였다. 충격체는 직경 5.5mm인 알루미늄 2017-T4의 구를 사용하였고, 알루미늄 평판은 6061-T6, CFRP 평판은 T300/5208을 사용하였다. 충격체의 초기 충돌 속도는 1km/s이다. 충돌 후 충격체의 운동에너지는 알루미늄 평판의 경우 약 64J 감소하였고, CFRP 평판의 경우 약 63J 감소하였다. 비슷한 충돌 에너지 흡수 정도를 보이고 있지만, 밀도를 비교해 보았을 때 CFRP가 약 1.7배 가볍기 때문에 방탄 특성이 더 좋다고 할 수 있다.

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures with low-strength RC columns are rampant in several countries, especially those constructed during the early 1960s and 1970s. The weakness of these structures due to overloading or some natural disasters such as earthquakes and building age effects are some of the main reasons to collapse, particularly with the scarcity of data on the impact of aspect ratio and corner radius on the confinement effectiveness. Hence, it is crucial to investigate if these columns (with different aspect ratios) can be made safe by strengthening them with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) sheets. Therefore, experimental and numerical studies of CFRP-strengthened low-strength reinforced concrete short rectangular, square, and circular columns were studied. In this investigation, a total of 6 columns divided into three sets were evaluated. The first set had two circular cross-sectional columns, the second set had two square cross-section columns, and the third set has two rectangular cross-section columns. Furthermore, FEM validation has been conducted for some of the experimental results obtained from the literature. The experimental results revealed that the confinement equations for RC columns as per both CSA and ACI codes could give incorrect results for low-strength concrete. The control specimen (unstrengthened ones) displayed that both ACI and CSA equations overestimate the ultimate strength of low-strength RC columns by order of extent. For strengthened columns with CFRP, the code equations of CSA and ACI code overestimate the maximum strength by around 6 to 13% and 23 to 29%, respectively, depending on the cross-section of the column (i.e., square, rectangular, or circular). Results of finite element models (FEMs) showed that increasing the layer number of new commonly CFRP type (B) from one to 3 for circular columns can increase the column's ultimate loads by around eight times compared to unjacketed columns. However, in the case of strengthened square and rectangular columns with CFRP, the increase of the ultimate loads of columns can reach up to six times and two times, respectively.

A hybrid composite material has many potential usage due to the high specific strength and the resistance to fatigue, when compared to other composite materials such as fiber reinforced plastic(FRP) and metal matrix composite(MMC). However, the fracture mechanism of hybrid composite material is extremely complicated because of the bonding structure of metals and FRP. In this study, Al 7075 sheets and carbon epoxy preprags were used to fabricate the hybrid composite. Recently, nondestructive technique has been used to evaluate the fracture mechanism of these composite materials. AE technique was used to clarify the microscopic damage behavior and failure mechanism of A17075/CFRP hybrid composite. It was found that AE paralneters such as AE event, energy and amplitude were effective to evaluate the failure process of Al 7075/CFRP composite. In addition, the relationship between the AE signal and the characteristics of fracture surface using optical microscope was discussed.
