It is generally accepted that fracture toughness of fiber-reinforced polymer composites is affected by strain rate in an atmospheric pressure condition. For a present study, the strain rate effect on the fracture toughness of fiber-reinforced laminated composites in the hydrostatic pressure condition was investigated. For this purpose, fracture tests have been conducted using graphite/epoxy laminated composites applying three steps of the strain rate at 270 MPa hydrostatic pressure condition. The strain rates applied were $0.05\%/sec,\;0.25\%/sec$, and $0.55\%/sec$. Fracture toughness was determined from the work factor approach as a function of applied strain rate. The result showed that fracture toughness decreased as the strain rate increased. Specifically, the fracture toughness decreased $12\%$ as the strain rate increased from $0.05\%/sec$ to $0.55\%/sec$.

탄소나노튜브가 발견된 이후로, 고분자 수지의 기계적, 전기적 물성을 증대시키는 보강재로서 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 더 나아가, 탄소나뉴튜브를 탄소섬유복합재 (CFRP)의 기지가 되는 수지를 보강시키는 데 이용하는 연구도 최근 활발해지고 있는 추세이다. 단일벽탄소나노튜브가 각각 0.2 %, 0.5 %의 중량비로 에폭시 수지에 먼저 분산, 혼합되었다. 이 혼합액을 CFRP를 제작하는데 주로 쓰이는 방법 중 하나인 진공 수지 충전 공정법 (vacuum assisted resin transfer molding, VARTM)으로 탄소섬유 프리폼에 주입하는 방법과 습식 현장 적층법 (wet lay-up)의 두가지 다른 방법으로 복합재를 제작 하였다. 각각의 제작된 시편에 대하여, 층간전단강도 (interlaminar shear strength, ILSS)를 측정하여, 층간전단강도와 공정의 상관관계, 탄소나노튜브의 보강효과에 대하여 조사했다. 탄소나노튜브/에폭시 복합재의 경우 기계적 물성의 향상을 가져왔으나 이를 기지재로 사용한 탄소섬유복합재의 층간전단강도는 특히 VARTM 공정의 경우, 탄소나노튜브의 첨가에 따른 수지의 점도 증가로 인한 공정상의 문제로 기대만큼의 물성향상을 가져오지는 못한 것을 확인하였다.

In this work, the effects of atmospheric oxygen plasma treatment of carbon fibers on mechanical interfacial properties of carbon fibers-reinforced epoxy matrix composites was studied. The surface properties of the carbon fibers were determined by acid/base values, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. Also, the crack resistance properties of the composites were investigated in critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$), and critical strain energy release rate mode II ($G_{IIC}$) measurements. As experimental results, FT-IR of the carbon fibers showed that the carboxyl/ester groups (C=O) at 1632 $cm^{-1}$ and hydroxyl group (O-H) at 3450 $cm^{-1}$ were observed for the plasma treated carbon fibers, and the treated carbon fibers had the higher O-H peak intensity than that of the untreated ones. The XPS results also indicated that the $O_{1S}/C_{1S}$ ratio of the carbon fiber surfaces treated by the oxygen plasma led to development of oxygen-containing functional groups. The mechanical interfacial properties of the composites, including $K_{IC}$ (critical stress intensity factor) and $G_{IIC}$ (critical strain energy release rate mode II), were also improved for the oxygen plasma-treated carbon fibersreinforced composites. These results could be explained that the oxygen plasma treatment played an important role to increase interfacial adhesions between carbon fibers and epoxy matrix resins in our composite system.

탄소섬유 강화 PA6 복합재료의 탄소섬유-메트릭스간 계면결합력과 반응중합도 향상을 위해서 기존 탄소섬유의 에폭시 사이징제를 디사이징처리하여 에폭시를 제거한 후 우레탄계, 나일론계, 페녹시계 사이징제로 재처리해주었으며, 리사이징처리된탄소섬유의표면을관찰하였다. 리사이징처리된탄소섬유의계면결합력은 IFSS(Interfacial shear strength)를 통해서 확인하였으며, 계면 결합 강도 측정 후 파단면은 주사전자현미경을 통해서 관찰하였다. 나일론계와 페녹시계 사이징제로 처리된 탄소섬유가 우레탄계 사이징에 비해 계면 결합력이 상승한 것을 확인하였다. 우레탄계 리사이징 처리된 탄소섬유는 기존 에폭시 사이징 탄소섬유보다 계면 결합력이 감소한 것으로 확인되었다. 이 결과는 기존 탄소섬유의 저활성과 평활성을 제거하여 탄소섬유와 나일론6 사이의 계면 결합력이 향상된 것으로 판단된다.

We have implemented a system of falling weight impact tester. Absorbed energy of orthotropic composites with using T300 fiber, which are composed of the same fiber and stacking number is higher than that of quasi-isotropic specimen over impact energy 7J, but in case of using T700 fiber, much difference does not show. Also, absorbed energy of orthotropic composites with using T300 fiber, which are composed of stacking number and orientation became more than that of T700 fiber specimen; however great change doesn't show in case of quasi-isotropic specimens. Delamination area of impacted specimens was measured with ultrasonic C-scanner to find correlation between impact energy and delamination area. Delamination area and frequency responses was evaluated between impacted and unimpacted specimens. There is a strong correlation between frequency responses and impact-induced delamination. The presence and scale of damages have been investigated based on the variations of frequency responses.

Although the net-shape molding of composites is generally recommended, molded composites frequently required cutting or grinding due to the dimensional inaccuracy for precision machine elements. During the composite machining operations such as cutting and grinding, the temperature at the grinding area may increase beyond the allowed limit due to the low thermal conductivity of composites, which might degrade the matrix of composite. Therefore, in this work, the temperature at the grinding point during surface grinding of carbon fiber epoxy composite was measured. The grinding temperature and surface roughness were also measured to investigate the surface grinding characteristics of the composited. The experiments were performed both under dry and wet grinding conditions with respect to cutting speed, feed speed, depth of cut and stacking angle. From the experimental investigation, the optimal conditions for the composite plain grinding were suggested.

Due to their flexible tailoring qualities, composites have become fascinating materials for structural engineers. While the research area of fiber-reinforced composite materials was previously limited to synthetic materials, natural fibers have recently become the primary research focus as the best alternative to artificial fibers. The natural fibers are eco-friendly and relatively cheaper than synthetic fibers. The main concern of current research into natural fiber-reinforced composites is the prediction and enhancement of the effective material properties. In the present work, finite element analysis is used with a numerical homogenization approach to determine the effective material properties of jute fiber-reinforced epoxy composites with various volume fractions of fiber. The finite element analysis results for the jute fiber-reinforced epoxy composite are then compared with several well-known analytical models.

To achieve fiber/resin reinforced composites with high quality (void-free, uniform compaction), a basic understanding of the principal factors related to a thermal cycle to cure the matrix and a pressure to compact the system is necessary. In this paper, some dielectric and mechanical properties of glass cloth reinforced epoxy composites are measured as a function of fabrication conditions, where the time that the pressure is applied to the sample during the cure process is controlled. Both the tensile strength and frequency characteristics of the sample are improved significantly when the pressure is applied at the start point of gelling.
