Cutouts are often provided in structural and aircraft components for ventilation, for access, inspection, electric lines and fuel lines or sometimes to lighten the structure. This paper addresses the effects of cutout shape (i.e., circular, square, diamond, elliptical-vertical and elliptical-horizontal) and size on buckling and postbuckling response of quasi-isotropic (i.e., $(+45/-45/0/90)_{2s}$) composite laminate under uni-axial compression. The finite element method is used to carry out the investigation. The formulation is based on first order shear deformation theory and von Karman's assumptions are used to incorporate geometric nonlinearity. The 3-D Tsai-Hill criterion is used to predict the failure of a lamina while the onset of delamination is predicted by the interlaminar failure criterion. It is observed that for the smaller size cutout area there is no significant effect of cutout shape on load-deflection response of the laminate. It is also concluded that the cutout size has substantial influence on the buckling and postbuckling response of the laminate with elliptical-horizontal cutout, while this effect is observed to be the least in case of laminate with elliptical-vertical cutout.

본 연구에서는 스파/스킨 복합재 일체형 구조물 시편 제작을 통해 구조물 형상에 의한 국부적인 내부압력 구배 및 표면접착필름 적용 조건에 따른 복합재 내부 기공의 거동에 대하여 실험적으로 평가하였다. 표면접착 필름과 탄소섬유 프리프레그 소재의 점도특성 및 열분석 비교를 통해 경화특성 및 속도 차이를 확인하였다. 그리고 스파/스킨 일체형 구조물 시편을 표면접착필름 적용 조건에 따라 2가지 유형으로 성형 제작하여 표면상태검사, 비파괴 검사 및 파괴 검사를 통하여 검증하였다. 표면접착필름이 전체 표면에 적용된 시편#1의 경우 내부구조에 의한 압력 구배가 발생하고 이로 인해 낮은 압력이 적용되는 부위에서 형성된 기공들이 먼저 경화된 표면접착필름에 막혀 배출되지 못함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 표면접착필름이 적용되지 않아 탄소섬유 프리프레그가 전면 노출된 시편#2에서는 내부 기공이 완전히 배출됨을 볼 수 있었으며 미리 경화된 표면접착필름이 내부 기공 이동 및 배출에 있어서 차단막(Barrier film)으로 작용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Real defects in composite structures were detected by using laser measuring system. Four types of specimens, that is, a composite laminate, a honeycomb structure, a free-edge delamination and an adhesive joint, were used to study the applicability of ESPI and Shearography to composite structures. Thermal loading method, which can easily induce the surface deformation of specimen, was used to detect defects. Experimental results show that defects in composite structures can be easily detected by ESPI and Shearography. Moreover, it shows that ESPI and Shearography can be usefully applied to the detection of defects in various kinds of composite structures.

The present study deals with the repair of composite structures by bonding composite patches. The composite structure is a carbon/epoxy laminate with stacking sequence [45/-45/0/90]S. The damaged zone is simulated by a central crack and repaired by bonding symmetrical composite patches. The repair is carried out using composite patches laminated from the same elemental folds as those of the cracked specimen. Three-dimensional finite element method is used to determine the energy release rate along the front of repaired crack. The effects of the repair technique used single or double patch, the stacking sequence of the cracked composite patch and the adhesive properties were highlighted on the variations of the fracture energy in mode I and mixed mode I + II loading.

국내에서 미국과 상호항공안전협정 체결을 위해 소형 항공기를 개발 중이다. 연구 대상 항공기는 경량화를 위하여 전기체 복합재료가 적용되었다. 그러나 복합재 구조는 충격 손상에 취약하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 항공기 복합재 구조의 손상 평가 및 유지 보수 기법 연구를 수행하였다. 탄소/에폭시 UD 라미네이트와 탄소/에폭시 패브릭 스킨-허니컴코어 샌드위치 복합재 라미네이트의 손상은 중량 낙하식 충격 시험기를 활용하여 모사되었으며 손상된 시편은 손상 부위 제거 후 외부 패치 적용 방안을 적용하여 수리하였다. 손상 전 시편, 손상 후 시편, 유지 보수된 시편의 압축 강도 시험 및 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 그리고 마지막으로 유지 보수 후 강도 복원 능력이 평가되었다.

The soundness of honeycomb core sandwich and laminate structure used for commercial aircrafts is generally evaluated with ultrasonic inspection because the inspection is most sensitive to planar surfaces which are perpendicular to sound propagation pass and reflects sound almost 100％ to equipment. And most defects inherent in composite material curing process has good reflective surfaces. With all this advantage, unexpected obstruction to product and additional cost could be occurred when inappropriate accept/reject criteria is given. In this study the importance of inspection criteria will be discussed to show how inappropriate criteria cause unexpected results leading to high production cost and how much time must be spent to correct those improper criteria with an actual case occurred in Aerospace Division, Korean Air.

In order to evaluate the strength of carbody structures of railway rolling stock made of laminated fiber-reinforced composite materials, total laminate approach was introduced. Structural analyses were conducted to check the basic design of the hybrid composite carbody structure of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of l80km/h. The mechanical tests were also conducted to obtain strengths of composite laminates. The results shown that all stress components of composite carbody structures were inside of failure envelopes and total laminate approach was recommended to predict the failure of composite carbody structures at the stage of the basic design.

A novel carboxyl terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile (CTBN) modified, low temperature cure epoxy film adhesive was developed in this paper. It can be cured at as low as $75^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours with a pressure of 0.1MPa. After post cure at $120^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours, the bonding strengths of Phosphoric Acid Anodizing(PAA) surface treated aluminum adherend were similar to those of structural film adhesives curing at $120^{\circ}C$. It is suitable to bond both metal/composite laminate-to-laminate and laminate to honeycomb structure.

This paper explains compressive behaviors of sandwich composite laminates with adhesively bonded patches. The sandwich composite laminate is used for a train carbody structure and is of an aluminum honeycomb core and CF1263 woven fabric carbon/epoxy faces. The sandwich composite laminates were damaged by low velocity impact. The damaged sandwich composite laminate was repaired using scarf repair method. Then, the strength restoration of it was assessed by compressive test. From the test, it could be known that the compressive strength was restored up to 91% of undamaged one.

In the automobile industry, structural health monitoring of fiber reinforced polymer composite parts is a widespread need for maintenance before breakdown of the functional elements or a complete vehicle. High performance sensors are generally used in many of the structural health monitoring operations. Within this study, a carbon fiber sewing thread has been used as a low cost laminate failure sensing element. The experimentation plan was set up according to the electrical conductance and flexibility of carbon fiber threads, advantages of preforming operations, and sewing mechanisms. The influence of the single thread damages by changing the electrical resistance and monitoring the impact location by using carbon thread sensors has been performed. Innovative utilization of relatively cost-effective carbon threads for monitoring the delamination of metallic inserts from the basic composite laminate structure is a highlighting feature of this study.
