An electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) is a unique probe that does not require a couplant or gel and also can usually generate or detect an ultrasonic wave into specimens across a small gap. It, therefore can be applied in a noncontact mode with a high degree of reproducibility. Especially stiffness of composites depends on layup sequence of CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastics) laminates. It is very important to evaluate the layup errors in prepreg laminates. A nondestructive technique can therefore serve as a useful measurement for detecting layup errors. This shear wave for detecting the presence of the errors is very sensitive. A decomposition model has been used in the interpretation and prediction of test results. Test results have been com pared with model data. It is found that the high probability shows between tests and the model utilized in characterizing cured layups of the laminates. Also a C-scan method was used for detecting layup of the laminates because of extracting fiber orientation information from the ultrasonic reflection caused by structural imperfections in the laminates. Therefore, it was found that interface C-scan images show the fiber orientation information by using two-dimensional fast Fourier transform (2-D FFT).

본 연구에서는 습식초지법을 이용하여 탄소나노튜브 버키페이퍼를 제조하고 고강도, 고강성 그리고 유연성을 증대시키기 위하여 폴리우레탄(PU)의 점도를 조절하여 코팅제조한 후 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. Raman, TGA, PL, SEM, TEM 그리고 Tensile test을 이용하여 SWNTs, SWNTs-buckypaper(SWNTs-BP), 그리고 SWNTs-BP/PU 나노복합필름에 대한 구조 및 물성을 평가하였으며 복합필름단면은 전계방사 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM)을 사용하여 관찰한 후 물성증대원인을 해석하였다. 특히, 5 wt%의 PU 용액으로 코팅할 때 튜브간의 계면 접착력 증가로 최종 물성향상에 기여하였다. 최종적으로 이러한 구조적인 특성을 이용할 경우 초경량, 고강도 나노복합소재를 제조하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

섬유강화고분자복합재료(CFRP, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)의 경량화는 자동차 및 항공 분야에서 끊임없이 요구되고 있으며, 구조용 폼과 CFRP를 혼합하여 샌드위치 복합재료로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 열경화성 소재인 에폭시 폼과 폴리우레탄 폼 및 열가소성 소재인 PET 폼과 PVC 폼의 조성 차이에 따른 폼의 형상 및 열 노화를 통해 변화되는 기계적 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 성형한 에폭시 폼, 폴리우레탄 폼 및 상용화된 PET 폼과 PVC폼을 180도에서 열 노화시켰으며, 30, 60, 120, 180분의 노화시간에 따라 구조용 폼의 변화를 광학 현미경 및 만능시험기로 폼 셀의 형상 및 압축강도를 평가하였다. 궁극적으로 에폭시 폼이 가장 높은 2.6 MPa의 압축강도를 가졌으며, 열 노화 조건에서도 물성저하나 형상의 변화가 거의 발생되지 않았다. 이는 에폭시 폼이 타 구조용 폼에 비해 열 노화 조건에서 후경화되어 강직한 조성을 이루며, 타 구조용 폼과는 다르게 내열 특성이 우수하기 때문에 고온용 구조용 폼으로 적용하기 적합한 소재임을 확인하였다.

It is well known that stiffness of composites depends on layup sequence of CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastics) laminates because the layup of composite laminates influences their properties. Ultrasonic NDE of composite laminates is often based on the backwall echoes of the sample. A pair of such transducers was mounted in a holder in a nose-to-nose fashion to be used as a scanning probe on composites. Miniature potted angle beam transducers were used (Rayleigh waves in steel) on solid laminates of composites. Experiments were performed to understand the behavior of the transducers and the nature of the waves generated in the composite (mode, wave speed, angle of refraction). C-scan images of flaws and impact damage were then produced by combining the pitch-catch probe with a portable manual scanner known as the Generic Scanner ("GenScan"). The pitch-catch signal was found to be more sensitive than normal incidence backwall echo of longitudinal wave to fiber orientation of the CFRP composites, including low level porosity, ply waviness, and cracks. Therefore, it is found that the experimentally Rayleigh wave variation of pitch-catch ultrasonic signal was consistent with numerical results and one-side ultrasonic measurement might be very useful to detect the defects.

This paper deals with the development of structural test facility for the strength assessment of marine leisure boat built from carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) materials. The structural test facility consists of test jig, load application and control system, and data acquisition system. Test jig, and load application and control system are designed to accommodate various size and short span to depth ratios of single skin, top-hat stiffened and sandwich constructions in plated structural format such as square and rectangular shapes. A lateral pressure load, typical and important applied load condition to the plates of the hull structure for marine leisure boat, is simulated by employing a number of hydraulic cylinders operated automatically and manually. To examine and operate the structural test facility, five carbon/epoxy based FRP square plates having the test section area of $1m^2$, which are part of CFRP marine leisure boat hull, are prepared and they are subjected to monotonically increasing lateral pressure loads. In the test preparation, considering the symmetry of the plates geometry, various strain gauges and linear variable displacement transformer are used in conjunction with data acquisition system utilizing LabVIEW. From the test observation, the responses of the CFRP hull structure of marine leisure boat are understood by obtaining load to deflection and strain to load curves.

탄소섬유강화 복합재료는 일반적으로 압축하중과 재료의 면에 수직한 방향의 충격에 매우 취약하다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 특히 항공기의 운항 중 조류와의 충돌이나 정비 중 공구의 낙하로 인한 충격손상은 항공기 구조물의 강도저하의 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 복합재료(CFRP) 시험편에 충격에너지와 충격자 직경을 변화시키면서 충격손상을 가한 후 압축시험을 수행하여 충격후 압축잔류강도를 평가하였으며, 시험 결과를 비교하여 충격에너지에 따른 충격후 압축잔류강도 예측식을 제안하였다.

The thermal balance test in vacuum chamber for satellite structures is an essential step in the process of satellite development. However, it is technically and economically difficult to fully replicate the space environment by using the vacuum chamber. To overcome these limitations, the thermal analysis through a computer simulation technique has been conducted. The CFRP composite material has attracted attention as satellite structures since it has advantages of excellent mechanical properties and light weight. However, the nonuniform nature of the thermal conductivity of the CFRP structure should be noted at the step of thermal analysis of the satellite. Two different approaches are studied for the thermal analyses; a detailed numerical modeling and a simplified model expressed by an effective thermal conductivity. In this paper, the effective thermal conductivities of the CFRP composite structures are extracted from the detailed numerical results to provide a practical thermal design data for the satellite fabricated with the CFRP composite structure. Calculation results of the surface temperature and the thermal conductivities along x, y, z directions show fairly good agreements between the detailed modeling and the simplified model for all the cases studied here.

CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) of the advanced composite materials as structural materials for vehicle, has a wide application in light-weigh structural materials of airplanes, ships and automobiles because of high strength and stiffness, However, there is a design variable to be considered in practical application of the laminate composite materials, these materials are vulnerable to transverse impact. This paper is to study the effects of stacking sequence and curvature on the penetration characteristics of composite laminate shell. They are stacked to $[0_3/90_3]S,\;[90_3/0_3]s\;and\;[0_2/90_3/0]s,\;[90_2/0_3/90]s$ and their interlaminar number two and four. They are manufactured to various curvature radius (R=100, 150, 200mm and $\infty$), When the specimen is subjected to transverse impact by a steel ball, the velocity of the steel ball was measured both before and after impact by determing the time for it to pass two ballistics-screen sensors located a known distance apart. The critical penetration energy of specimen A and B with less interfaces were a little higher than those of C and D. As the curvature increases, the critical penetration energy increases linearly because the resistance to the in-plane deformation as well as bending deformation increases, which need higher critical penetration energy. The specimen A and C have higher critical penetration energy than B and D because of different stacking sequences. We examined crack length through a penetration test. For the specimen A with 2interfaces, the longest circumferential direction crack length were observed on the first interface from the impact point. For the specimen B 4-interface, the longest circumferential direction crack length were observed on the second interface from the impact point.
