Recently, sea algae cultivation as carbon sink and carbon dioxide fixation have been considered. Also, various researches on bioenergy derived from sea algae and the utilization of fibers, saccharide, and lipid of sea algae have been performing. Till now, algae fibers has been used for manufacturing of paper and reinforcing of polymer composites and the extracts of sea algae are used for cosmetics, pharmaceutical materials and food such as agar. Especially, algae fiber has so similar properties to cellulose in terms of crystallinity and functional groups that it can be utilized as reinforcements of biocomposites. Biocomposites as alternatives of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites are environmentally friendly polymer composites reinforced with natural fibers and are actively applying to the automobiles and construction industries. In this paper, characteristics of algae fiber and biocomposites reinforced with algae fiber as environmentally friendly energy materials have been introduced.

This paper highlights the experimental and numerical investigations performed on a tubular T-joint fabricated from circular hollow sections under axial compressive loads applied at the brace. Tests were performed on a reference joint and the joint wrapped with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). The Nitowrap EP carbon fiber with Nitowrap 410 resin serve as a composite material is used for wrapping the T-joint. Schematic diagram of the fabricated tubular joint for the experimental test setup, along with the experimental and numerical results are presented. After performing these experiments, it has been demonstrated that the joint wrapped with CFRP has a better strength and lesser deflection than a reference joint. Finite element analysis carried out in Ansys reveals that the results were in good correlation with the experimental values.

Delamination crack detection is very important for improving the structural reliability of laminated composite structures. This requires real-time delamination detection technologies. For composite laminates that are reinforced with carbon fiber, an electrical potential method uses carbon fiber for reinforcements and sensors at the same time. The use of carbon fiber for sensors does not need to consider the strength reduction of smart structures induced by imbedding sensors into the structures. With carbon fiber reinforced (CF/) epoxy matrix composites, it had been proved that the delamination crack was detected experimentally. In the present study, therefore, similar experiments were conducted to prove the applicability of the method for delamination crack detection of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composite laminates. Mode I and mode II delamination tests with artificial cracks were conducted, and three point bending tests without artificial cracks were conducted. This study experimentally proves the applicability of the method for detection of delamination cracks. CF/polyetherethereketone material has strong electric resistance anisotropy. For CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites, a carbon fiber network is constructed, and the network is broken by propagation of delamination cracks. This causes a change in the electric resistance of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites. Using three point bending specimens, delamination cracks generated without artificial initial cracks is proved to be detectable using the electric potential method: This method successfully detected delamination cracks.

This study aims to carry out the experimental and numerical investigation on the flexural behavior of sandwich honeycomb composite (SHC) beams reinforced with novel triaxially woven fabric composite skins. Different stacking sequences of the carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) laminate; i.e., 0°-direction of TW (TW0), 0°-direction of UD (UD0), and 90°-direction of UD (UD90) were studied, from which the flexural behavior of SHC beam behaviors reinforced with TW0/UD0 or TW0/UD90 novel laminated skins were compared with those reinforced with UD0/90 conventional laminated skins under four-point loading. Generally, TW0/UD0 SHC beams displayed the same flexural stiffness as UD0/90 SHC beams in terms of load-deflection relationships. In contrast, TW0/UD90 SHC beams showed a 70% lower efficiency than those of UD0/90 SHC. Hence, the TW0/UD0 laminate arrangement is more effective with a mass reduction of 39% compared with UD0/90 for SHC beams, although their stiffness and shear strength are practically identical.

In the present paper, a variety of fiber reinforcements, for instance, stabilized OXI-PAN fibers, quasi-carbon fibers, commercial carbon fibers, and their woven fabric forms, have been utilized to fabricate pseudo-unidirectional (pseudo-UD) and 2-directional (2D) phenolic matrix composites using a compression molding method. Prior to fabricating quasi-carbon fiber/phenolic (QC/P) composites, stabilized OXI-PAN fibers and fabrics were heat-treated under low temperature carbonization processes to prepare quasi-carbon fibers and fabrics. The thermal conductivity and thermal expansion/contraction behavior of QC/P composites have been investigated and compared with those of carbon fiber/phenolic (C/P) and stabilized fiber/phenolic composites. Also, the chemical compositions of the fibers used have been characterized. The results suggest that use of proper quasi-carbonization process may control effectively not only the chemical compositions of resulting quasi-carbon fibers but also the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion behavior of quasi-carbon fibers/phenolic composites in the intermediate range between stabilized PAN fiber- and carbon fiber-reinforced phenolic composites.

본 연구는 고강도 고내구성이면서 신뢰성이 높은 폴리머 함침 탄소섬유보강 시멘트복합에의 개발 응용을 위한 여러 가지 특성을 검토하기 위하여, 복합체는 PAN계 및 Pitch계 탄소섬유, 조강포틀랜드 시멘트, Silica Powder 및 폴리머 함침재를 사용하여 제조하였고, 배합조건별, 재령별, 그리고 양생조건별로 역학적특성, 동결융해저항성 및 장기변형특성에 관한 실험연구를 행하였다. 연구결과, CFRC의 Flow값은 CF혼입율 증가에 따라 거의 직선적으로 저하하였고, 폴리머 함침 CFRC의 압축 인장 휨강도는 CF혼입율 증대에 따라 오토클래브 양생 및 기건양생의 경우에 비하여 현저히 증대하였으며, 또한 월등히 높은 강도를 나타내었다. 그리고, 인자응력-변형관계 및 휨응력-처짐관계는 기건양생 및 오토클래브 양생의 경우 연성적인 비선형을 나타낸 데 비하여 폴리머함침의 경우는 거의 직선적 으로 변화하였고, 동결융해저항성, 건조수촉변형특성 및 내크리프 특성도 다른 양생 방법의 경우에 비하여 크게 개선됨을 확인하였다.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has received widespread attention in the field of civil engineering because of its superior durability and corrosion resistance. This article presents the damage mechanisms of a novelty composite called carbon nanofiber modified flax fiber polymer (CNF-modified FFRP). The ability of acoustic emission (AE) to detect damage evolution for different configurations of specimens under uniaxial tension was examined, and some useful AE characteristic parameters were obtained. Test results shows that the mechanical properties of modified composites are associated with the CNF content and the evenness of CNF dispersed in the epoxy matrix. Various damage mechanisms was established by means of scanning electron microscope images. The fuzzy c-means clustering were proposed to classify AE events into groups representing different generation mechanisms. The classifiers are constructed using the traditional AE features -- six parameters from each burst. Amplitude and peak-frequency were selected as the best cluster-definition features from these AE parameters. After comprehensive comparison, a correlation between these AE events classes and the damage mechanisms observed was proposed.

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.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유 강화 복합재의 점탄성 성질을 적용한 유한요소 해석에 대해서 기술하였다. 고온의 성형과정에서 발생하는 가장 중요한 문제 중 하나는 잔류응력의 발생이다. 잔류응력으로 인해 성형이 끝난 후 뒤틀림, 균열이 일어 날 수 있으며 이는 완성품에 심각한 결함을 가져올 수 있다. 잔류응력의 주요 원인은 점탄성이며 고온의 성형과정에서 열팽창계수의 차이와 수지의 시간 및 온도에 대한 물성의 변화로 인해 발생하는 탄소섬유 강화 복합재의 특징이다. 화학 수축도 잔류응력에 많은 영향을 주며 이를 고려한 뒤틀림 예측에서 오차를 줄일 수 있는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구는 복합재 성형에 사용된 온도변화에 대한 경화도와 점탄성 효과, 화학수축을 유한요소 해석으로 수행하기 위한 기법을 연구하고, 점탄성의 영향성을 연구하였다. 기존에 연구되어 있는 논문을 참고하여 서브루틴의 타당성을 검증한 후 나아가 복합재의 적층각의 변화에 따른 응력과 변형을 해석해 봄으로써 실제 복합재의 성형 시 발생하는 휨 현상에 대한 예측방법을 제시하였다.
