In spite of unparalleled combination of essential material properties for brake linings and clutch facings, replacement for asbestos is seriously called for since it is a health hazard. Once asbestos is replaced with other material then composition and properties of brake pad changes. In certain cases hardness of the material may be high enough to affect the rotor material. In this study, hardness of the brake pad has been controlled using suitable reinforcement materials like glass, carbon and Kevlar pulp. Brake pad formulations were made using CNSL (cashew net shell liquid) modified phenolic resin as a binder, graphite or cashew dust as a friction modifier and barium sulphate, talc and wollastonite as fillers. Influence of each component on the hardness value has been studied and a proper formulation has been arrived at to obtain hardness values around 35 on Scleroscopic scale. Friction and wear properties of the respective brake pad materials have been measured on a dynamometer and their performance was evaluated.

소량의 CNT 나노입자를 함유한 CNT-페놀 복합재료를 제조하여 삭마 효과를 확인하였다. CNT 함량을 0.1 wt%에서 0.3 wt%까지 증가시킴에 따른 인장, 압축 강도를 평가하고 삭마 저항성에 대한 차이를 분석하였다. 산소와 등유를 혼합하여 화염 발생시켜 재료의 삭마 효과를 평가하였다. FE-SEM을 이용하여 삭마 실험 이후 발생된 시편의 미세 구조 변화를 확인하였다. CNT 함유 정도에 따른 TGA 열분석을 시도하여 열적 안정성을 평가하였다. 0.3wt% CNT-페놀 복합재료가 일반 페놀 수지 및 0.1 wt% CNT-페놀 복합재료보다 삭마율이 낮았다. 삭마에 따른 재료 변화 메커니즘을 규명하기 위해 TGA 분석 결과와 FE-SEM을 이용한 미세 구조 결과를 분석하였다. 고열의 화염을 이용한 삭마 실험을 통해 시편 내부의 CNT 입자가 존재하는 미세구조를 확인할 수 있었다. 수지 내부에 균일하게 분산된 CNT 입자의 역할이 내삭마성을 증가시키는 결과를 확인하였다.

본 연구는 Zirconia(zirconium oxide) 입자가 페놀수지 경화거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Zirconia 입자의 함량에 따른 페놀수지의 승온 및 등온 경화 거동을 분석하였다. Zirconia 함량을 달리한 페놀수지의 점도 및 열분해 특성을 조사하였다. DSC 분석으로부터 경화도와 경화율을 구하였다. 마지막으로 Zirconia 입자가 첨가된 페놀수지의 DSC 데이터로부터 경화 반응에 대한 활성화 에너지를 계산하였다. 그 결과 zirconia 함량이 높을수록 경화가 지연되고 경화에 필요한 활성화에너지가 더 커지는 경향이 나타났다. 또한 TGA를 이용한 열분해 분석 결과 Zirconia의 함량이 증가할수록 더 적은 중량감소가 관찰됐다. Carbon/Phenol 프리프레그의 표면 점착성은 Zirconia 함량에 따라 부분적으로 변화하였으나 유의한 영향은 없었다.

A poroelastic composite material, containing different material phases and filled with fluids, serves as a model to formulate the overall ablative behaviors of such materials. This article deals with the assessment of variation in nondeterministic poroelastic properties of two-phase composite materials using micromechanical representative volume element (RVE) models. Considering the configuration and arrangement of pores in a matrix phase, various RVEs are modeled and analyzed according to their porosity. In order to quantitatively investigate the effects of microstructure, changes in effective elastic moduli and poroelastic parameters are measured via finite element (FE) analysis. The poroelastic parameters are calculated from the effective elastic moduli and the pore-pressure-induced strains. The reliability of the numerical results is verified through image-based FE models with the actual shape of pores in carbon-phenolic ablative materials. Additionally, the variation of strain energy density is measured, which can possibly be used to evaluate microstress concentrations.

Carbon/carbon composites were developed using PAN based carbon fibres and phenolic resin as matrix in different volume fractions and heat treated to temperatures between $1000^{\circ}C$ to $2500^{\circ}C$. Although both the starting precursors are nongraphitizing hard carbons individually, their composites lead to very interesting properties e.g. x-ray diffractograms show the development of graphitic phase for composites having fibre volume fractions of 30~40%. Consequently the electrical resistivity of such composites reaches a value of $0.8\;m{\Omega}cm$, very close to highly graphitic material. However, it was found that by increasing the fibre volume fraction to 50~60%, the trend is reversed. Optical microscopy of the composites also reveals the development of strong columnar type microstructure at the fibre (matrix interface due to stress graphitization of the matrix. The study forcasts a unique possibility of producing high thermal conductivity carbon/carbon composites starting with carbon fibres in the chopped form only.

Bending and tensile properties of 2D cross-ply C/C composites with processing heat treatment temperature (HTT) are evaluated. C/C composites used are made from two types of PAN based T700 and M40 carbon fibers with phenolic resin as carbon matrix precursor. Both the types of composites are heat treated at different temperatures (ranging from 750 to $2800^{\circ}C$) and characterized for bending and tensile properties. It is observed that, real density and open porosity increases with HTT, however, bulk density does show remarkable change. The real density and open porosity are higher in case T-700 carbon fiber composites at $2800^{\circ}C$, even though the density of M40 carbon fiber is higher. Bending strength is considerably greater than tensile strength through out the processing HTT due to the different mode of fracture. The bending and tensile strength decreases in both composites on $1000^{\circ}C$ which attributed to decrease in bulk density, thereafter with increase in HTT, bending and tensile strength increases. The maximum strength is in T700 fiber based composites at HTT $1500^{\circ}C$ and in M40 fiber based composites at HTT $2500^{\circ}C$. After attending the maximum value of strength in both types of composite at deflection HTT, after that strength decreases continuously. Decrease in strength is due to the degradation of fiber properties and in-situ fiber damages in the composite. The maximum carbon fiber strength realization in C/C composites is possible at a temperature that is same of fiber HTT. It has been found first time that the bending strength more or less 1.55 times higher in T700 fiber composites and in M40 fiber composites bending strength is 1.2 times higher than that of tensile strength of C/C composites.

The goal of this study is to fill this apparent gap in the area about vibration analysis of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) curved panels by providing 3-D vibration analysis results for functionally graded multiwalled carbon nanotubes (FG-MWCNTs) sandwich structure with power-law distribution of nanotube. The effective material properties of the FG-MWCNT structures are estimated using a modified Halpin-Tsai equation. Modified Halpin-Tsai equation was used to evaluate the Young's modulus of MWCNT/epoxy composite samples by the incorporation of an orientation as well as an exponential shape factor in the equation. The exponential shape factor modifies the Halpin-Tsai equation from expressing a straight line to a nonlinear one in the MWCNTs wt% range considered. Also, the mass density and Poisson's ratio of the MWCNT/phenolic composite are considered based on the rule of mixtures. Parametric studies are carried out to highlight the influence of MWCNT volume fraction in the thickness, different types of CNT distribution, boundary conditions and geometrical parameters on vibrational behavior of FG-MWCNT thick curved panels. Because of using two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method, the present approach makes possible vibration analysis of cylindrical panels with two opposite axial edges simply supported and arbitrary boundary conditions including Free, Simply supported and Clamped at the curved edges. For an overall comprehension on 3-D vibration analysis of sandwich panel, some mode shape contour plots are reported in this research work.

In this study, based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, free vibration characteristics of sandwich sectorial plates with multiwalled carbon nanotube-(MWCNT)-reinforced composite core are considered. Modified Halpin-Tsai equation is used to evaluate the Young's modulus of the MWCNT/epoxy composite samples by the incorporation of an orientation as well as an exponential shape factor in the equation. The exponential shape factor modifies the Halpin-Tsai equation from expressing a straight line to a nonlinear one in the MWCNTs wt% range considered. In this paper, free vibration of thick functionally graded sandwich annular sectorial plates with simply supported radial edges and different circular edge conditions including simply supported-clamped, clamped-clamped, and free-clamped is investigated. A semi-analytical approach composed of two-dimensional differential quadrature method and series solution are adopted to solve the equations of motion. The material properties change continuously through the core thickness of the plate, which can vary according to a power-law, exponentially, or any other formulations in this direction. This study serves as a benchmark for assessing the validity of numerical methods or two-dimensional theories used to analysis of laminated sectorial plates.

Testing methods for mechanical properties of the advanced composites were introduced. The mechanical properties, such as tensile properties, compressive properties, in-plane shear properties, flexural properties, and interlaminar shear properties, were evaluated along the warp and the fill directions. The CF3327 of the carbon fabric, the HG1581 of the glass fabric, and the HK285 of the aramid fabric were considered as reinforcements. Epoxy and phenolic resin were used as resin. The experimental results obtained in this study would be applicable in the design and structural analysis for the manufacture of the carbody of the tilting train.
