In this study, various types of composite materials and adhesives that are actually used in the shipbuilding field for small ships, leisure boats, and fishing boats were applied in the hand lay-up method and vacuum infusion method to manufacture specimens. Then the tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, and flexural modulus values of these specimens were obtained. In addition, the barcol hardness and fiber content were obtained from the specimens. The results showed that the strengths of the specimens manufactured using the vacuum infusion method were higher than those manufactured using the hand lay-up method. Moreover, the barcol hardness and fiber content were also higher in those manufactured using the vacuum infusion method. The specimens manufactured using the vacuum infusion method were thinner despite their large fiber content.

Recently, the applied frequency of composite materials was increased from the viewpoint of lightweight, high strength and low cost when a leisure boat and a fishing boatwere built. However, studies on the mechanical properties of composite material with ship are rare. Specially, a leisure boat and fishing boat with FRP had been built by hand lay-up method. However, the vacuum infusion method is rising recently for ship building. The manufactured these FRP plates were combined by using the adhesive. Therefore, in this study Cleavage peel strength, Shear strength and fatigue limit of adhesive bonds by tensileloading were estimated. From test results, the strengths of FRP specimens made by the vacuum infusion method are higher than that of the hand lay-up method.

The resin infusion method is the latest technology of FRP laminating and cleaning to improve FRP hull quality. This method is focused on how to arrange infusion channels for the laminiating strategy. The laminating strategy using the resin infusion method has been utilized to complete the infusion work and remove the cavities on the FRP surface within the curing time. It is resulting from the arrangement of infusion and vacuum channels, the resin property, and the combination of FRP. This strategy has been depended on the field experience for manufacturing FRP without the resin infusion simulation. This study can help to improve the efficiency of FRP fabrication with the laminating strategy including the resin infusion simulation instead of the field experience.

Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) composites have been used for small fishing boats and leisure boats for many years. These composites have different physical characteristics, depending on the constitution of lay-up and manufacturing method. Recently, new manufacturing methods, such as vacuum infusion, have been used to make the composites lighter and stronger. In this research, the mechanical properties of fiberglass reinforcements with constitution of lay-up, manufacturing method, and two different resins were investigated experimentally. It was found that the mechanical properties of FRP composites increased with increasing thickness, with the use of vacuum infusion method, and with the use of vinyl ester resin. The mechanical properties of diverse FRP composites can be used as a practical guide for selecting appropriate materials for specific applications.

Double conductance method is proposed as an effectvie way to measure real outgassing rates of materials regardless of their adsorbing power. The real outgassing rate and the sticking coefficient of the CFC (carbon fiber composite) which is used widely as the material for armor plates infusion experiment devices were obtained by adopting this method. At $40^{\circ}C$ the real ougassing rate was $Pa, m^3/s.m^2$(in $N_2$ equivalent), which was higher than 5 times the measured one, and the sticking coefficient was about 0.018($H_2O\; and \;H_2$ were the main residual gases).

VaRI(Vacuum assisted Resin Infusion) 공정은 공정비용이 저렴하며, 크기가 큰 복합재 제작에 적합한 OoA(Out of Autoclave) 공정이다. VaRI 공정에서는 원할한 수지 주입을 위해 섬유 상단에 유로망을 적층한다. 수지는 이 유로망을 따라 섬유의 면 방향으로 빠르게 공급되고, 공급된 수지는 다시 섬유의 두께방향으로 함침된다. 면방향의 유동과 두께방향의 유동이 동시에 일어나기 때문에 수지의 유동을 예측하기 힘들며, 수지 주입과정을 예측하기 위해 3D 수치해석 프로그램이 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 3D로 해석하기 위해서 섬유와 유로망의 두께방향에 많은 Element가 필요하고, 이로 인해 제품의 크기가 클수록 해석시간이 오래 걸린다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3D 유동해석을 2D 해석으로 간소화하여 유동해석에 소요되는 시간을 줄이는 방법을 제시하였다. 3D 유동해석과 간소화된 2D 유동해석을 동일조건에서 비교하여 효용성을 검증하였고, 충진시간 오차율은 약 7%, 유동해석시간 감소율은 약 95%로 나타났다. 또한 3D 해석에서 섬유 상, 중, 하단 간의 유동 전진 거리의 차이가 일정하다는 것을 활용하여 간소화된 2D 유동해석에서도 상, 중, 하단의 유동 전진 거리를 예측할 수 있었다.

This paper deals with the experimental study on the hygrothermal ageing effect to the strength of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) materials for marine leisure boat manufactured by vacuum assisted resin infusion method. The experiments performed consist of tensile, flexural and shear tests according to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Korean Industrial Standards (KS) test methods. Test coupons are varied from uni-directional(UD, $0^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$), Bi-Directional (BD), and Double-Bias (DB) carbon fiber fabrics in conjunction with epoxy resin. The results of tensile test show that tensile strength reduces significantly while not the same degree of reduction is observed for elasticity modulus with respect to the existence of hygrothermal ageing effect. This implies that the tensile strain induced from external load holds steady values but ultimate strength values change widely under hygrothermal ageing effect. In case of the flexural test, $0^{\circ}$ UD shows more strength reduction than $90^{\circ}$ UD while BD has reduced values in both flexural strength and elasticity modulus under hygrothermal ageing effect. It is learned that the bending strain induced from external load and ultimate strength values are reduced with respect to hygrothermal ageing effect. Shear test performed only on DB materials, and the results show marginal reduction in ultimate strength and moderate reduction in elasticity modulus. This means that the shear strain varies more than ultimate shear strength with respect to hygrothermal ageing effect. The experiment conducted in this paper clearly demonstrates the differences in material properties of the CFRP for the consideration of hygrothermal ageing effect. Findings obtained from this experimental study can serve as a fundamental input data for the realistic structural responses of marine leisure boat built in CFRP materials.

Recently, Application of composite materials are increased in transport area for weight reduction. Also, Related technical developments have been implemented actively at domestic and abroad. In particular, The carbon fiber has high strength and ultra light property higher than stainless steel, aluminum, GFRP as Eco-friendly material. Carbon fiber contribute to improving the environmental effect such as fuel saving, expansion of loadage, reducing the exhaustion of carbon dioxide through the weight reduction of transport area. In addition, The carbon fiber is applied to the ship in the area of race yacht, luxury cruise boat as weight reduction and high added-value materials, but there is limited application for general boat because price of carbon fiber is very expensive. For the weight reduction of general boat hull, being used as structure materials, glass fiber and carbon fiber are applied to hull with form of hybrid composite materials, but application of domestic and research for development are incomlete. In this study, An evaluations of mechanical strength property and fatigue strength are performed on composite materials by hybrid weaving of glass fiber and carbon fiber and composite materials forming method by hybrid forming.

RFI 공정은 진공백 내부에 섬유 매트와 수지 필름을 적층하여 성형하는 OoA 공정이다. 외부에서 따로 주입되는 수지가 없기 때문에 수지 필름의 양이 섬유가 필요로 하는 양보다 적은 경우 복합재 내부에 기공 결함이 발생하며 기계적 물성이 저하된다. 이러한 이유로 제작한 복합재를 실용화하기 위해서 비파괴검사를 이용한 기공예측이 필수적으로 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 RFI 공정에서 비파괴검사 시 기준으로 사용할 수 있는 표준 기공률 시편을 제조하는 방법을 제시하였다. 표준 기공률 시편 제작 방법으로 수지 필름 두께를 조절하는 방법을 사용하였으며, 목표 기공률별 수지 필름 두께를 설정하기 위한 방법으로 섬유 압착 실험을 제시하였다. 수지 필름 두께 조절을 통하여 0%, 2%, 4%의 목표 기공률 패널을 제작했고 비파괴시험과 기공률 측정을 통하여 기공률에 따른 비파괴검사 신호 감쇠를 측정했다. 또한 인장, 면내전단, 숏빔, 압축 시편의 신호 감쇠를 통하여 기공률을 추정하였고, 기공률에 따른 기계적 물성을 평가하였다.
