This paper deals with the residual strength characteristics of composite materials under the environment of high temperature and humidity. Two types of GFRP, one with unidirection and randomly oriented, are used to investigate the features of moisture absorption and the residual strength. The results show that, when exposed longterms in high temperature and humidity, the randomly oriented composites is more stable than the unidirection one.

The influence of solidification condition on the segregation of SiC particles in the $Al-xSi/6wt%SiC_p$(x: 6, 10, 14, 18${\cdot}$wt%) composites was investigated in the study. The results are as follows: 1) During the counter-gravity unidirectional solidification of $Al-Si/SiC_p$ composites melt, most of the SiC particles are pushed to the top of the casting. 2) The SiC particles pushing in the $Al-Si/SiC_p$ composite melts are not observed, when the interface velocity of melts increases more than 1.41 ${\mu}m/sec$. 3) The SiC particles are entrapped in the interdendrite regions, when the sizes of SiC particles in the $Al-Si/SiC_p$ composites are large than ${\varphi}22{\mu}m$.

During the curing process of thick glass/epoxy laminates, a substantial amount of temperature lag and overshoot at the center of the laminates is usually experienced due to the large thickness and low thermal conductivity of the glass/epoxy composites. Also, it takes a longer time for full and uniform consolidation. In this work, temperature, degree of cure and consolidation of a 20 mm thick unidirectional glass/epoxy laminate were investigated using an experiment and a 3-dimentional numerical analysis. From the experimental and numerical results, it was found that the experimentally obtained temperature profile agreed well with the numerical one, and the cure cycle recommended by the prepreg manufacturer should be modified to prevent a temperature overshoot and to obtain full consolidation.

Numerical analysis on laminated plates containing an open hole subjected to compression is conducted to predict the damage constitutive behaviour of the plates. A micromechanical constitutive model for unidirectional laminated composites proposed by Liang et a1. (2006), in conjunction with damage models (Karihaloo and Fu, 1989, 1999; Zhao and Weng, 1996, 1997), is implemented into the finite element code ABAQUS to conduct the numerical analysis. The predictions are compared with experiments (Lessard and Chang, 1991) to verify the accuracy of the present analysis.

The carbon fiber reinforced plastics, one of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite materials, are widely used in various field including space and aviation industries, sports and leisure industries and general structural members and parts as have high strength in comparison with the weight, elasticity coefficient, high fatigue strength and lower thermal transformation. This paper present analytical behavior of CFRP pipe reinforced rib under the external force. From the results, the maximum compressive stress occurs at the upper flange of CFRP pipe and tensile stress occurs middle flange of the CFRP pipe. The stress of rib CFRP pipe by increasing effective cross-sectional area was reduced by approximately 35%.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the water environmental effect on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites. Moisture concentration absorbed in CFRP under various water environment was calculated and degradation of mechanical properties for each wet composite laminates is investigated by performing the flexual and tensile test. The results show that moisture absorption is accelerated in higher temperature environment and under the same temperature sea water environment prompts more absorption than fresh water. As increasing the water temperature and moisture concentration tensile and flexual strength decreased as much as 25%-40% compared with dry condition.

A nondestructive technique would be very useful. Advanced NDE T-ray (terahertz ray) techniques of technology and instrumentation has provided a probing field on the electromagnetic spectrum. However, the T-ray is limited in order to penetrate a conducting material to some degree. Here, the T-ray would not go through easily the CFRP composite laminates since carbon fibers are electrically conducting while the epoxy matrix is not. So, investigation of terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz TDS) was made and reflection and transmission configurations were studied for a 48-ply thermoplastic PPS(poly-phenylene sulfide)-based CFRP solid laminate. It is found that the electrical conductivity of CFRP composites depends on the direction of unidirectional fibers.

In this work, random homogenization analysis for the effective thermal properties of a three-dimensional composite material with unidirectional fibers is presented by combining the equivalent inclusion method with Random Factor Method (RFM). The randomness of the micro-structural morphology and constituent material properties as well as the correlation among these random parameters are completely accounted for, and stochastic effective thermal properties as thermal expansion coefficients as well as their correlation are then sought. Results from the RFM and the Monte-Carlo Method (MCM) are compared. The impact of randomness and correlation of the micro-structural parameters on the random homogenized results is revealed by two methods simultaneously, and some important conclusions are obtained.

In order to determine the effects of hydrostatic pressure on the mechanical behavior of graphite fiber reinforced composites, the modulus, fracture stress(maximum stress), and fracture strain of graphite/epoxy composites have been determined as a function of pressure. Composite specimens used in this study were 90-deg unidirectional and had a 60% fiber volume fraction. Compressive tests under five different pressure levels were conducted. The result showed the modulus measured from as initial slope of stress-strain curve increased bilinearly with pressure with a break at 200 MPa. It was also found that fracture stress and fracture strain increased in a linear fashion with pressure.

본 연구에서는 연속형 일방향 및 수자직 유리섬유강화 복합재료로 인장 시험편을 만들어 AE 특성에 대한 섬유배향 효과를 살펴보았다. AE 신호들을 STFT 처리하여 특성별로 분류하였으며, 반사식 및 투과식 편광현미경을 이용하여 시험편의 손상영역을 관찰하였다. 저주파수 대역의 약한 AE 신호들은 모재 및 계면에서의 손상으로 나타났으며, 높은 진폭의 고주파수 대역 AE 신호들은 섬유 파단에 기인하였다. 섬유 파단 과정에서 발생하는 고진폭의 AE 사상률을 기본 특성 데이터로 하여 다른 섬유배향과 노치방향을 가진 복합재에서의 파괴과정을 특징지을 수 있었다. 결론적으로, AE범은 연속형 유리섬유 강화 복합재의 파괴거동을 탐지하는데 있어 유용함을 알 수 있었다.
