It is generally accepted that fracture toughness of fiber-reinforced polymer composites is affected by strain rate in an atmospheric pressure condition. For a present study, the strain rate effect on the fracture toughness of fiber-reinforced laminated composites in the hydrostatic pressure condition was investigated. For this purpose, fracture tests have been conducted using graphite/epoxy laminated composites applying three steps of the strain rate at 270 MPa hydrostatic pressure condition. The strain rates applied were $0.05\%/sec,\;0.25\%/sec$, and $0.55\%/sec$. Fracture toughness was determined from the work factor approach as a function of applied strain rate. The result showed that fracture toughness decreased as the strain rate increased. Specifically, the fracture toughness decreased $12\%$ as the strain rate increased from $0.05\%/sec$ to $0.55\%/sec$.

보강섬유의 굴곡을 가지는 일방향성 graphite/epoxy 복합재료의 비선형거동에 대하여 이론 및 실험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 해석모델에서 공액에너지밀도와 순차적 해석방법을 이용하여 보강섬유의 굴곡에 의한 재료적 비선형 특성 및 기하학적 비선형 특성을 모두 고려하였으며, 이를 이용하여 보강섬유의 굴곡정도에 따른 복합재료의 기계적 특성값의 변화 및 인장/압축 거동을 일정한 보강섬유의 굴곡을 가지는 모델, 재료의 중심에서 바깥쪽으로 갈수록 보강섬유의 굴곡이 점차 줄어드는 모델 그리고 재료의 일부분에만 보강섬유의 굴곡이 존재하는 모델에 대하여 예측하였다. 그리고 여러 굴곡 정도에 대한 일정한 보강섬유의 굴곡을 가지는 두꺼운 복합재료를 제작하고 인장/압축 실험을 수행하여 그 결과와 예측 결과를 비교하였다. 실험 결과는 예측 결과와 잘 일치하였으며, 보강섬유의 굴곡이 복합재료의 기계적 특성에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

This work focused on corrosion of carbon steel bolted GECM/Al parts in tap water and NaCl solutions. In tap water and NaCl solutions, open circuit potential of GECM and its potentials in a series of carbon steel bolt>Ti>Al became active. Regardless of test materials, open circuit potentials in tap water were noble, and increasing NaCl concentration, its potentials became active. Immersion test of single specimen showed that no corrosion occur in Ti and GECM. In tap water, carbon steel bolt didn't show red corrosion product and in chloride solutions, corrosion rate in 1% NaCl solution was greater than its rate in 3.5% NaCl solution and red corrosion product in 1% NaCl solution was earlier observed than that in 3.5% NaCl solution. It seems that this behavior would be related to zinc-coatings on the surface of carbon stee l bolt. On the other hand, aluminium was corroded in tap water and chloride solutions. Corrosion of aluminium in tap water was due to the presence of chloride ion in tap water by sterilizing process.

The present study follows three main goals. First, an analytical solution with high accuracy is developed to assess the effects of embedding pre-strained shape memory alloy (SMA) wires on the critical buckling temperatures of rectangular sandwich plates made of soft core and graphite fiber/epoxy (GF/EP) face sheets based on piecewise low-order shear deformation theory (PLSDT) using Brinson's model. As the second goal, this study compares the effects of SMAs on the thermal buckling of sandwich plates with those of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The glass transition temperature is considered as a limiting factor. For each material, the effective ranges of operating temperature and thickness ratio are determined for real situations. The results indicate that depending on the geometric parameters and thermal conditions, one of the SMAs and CNTs may outperform the other. The third purpose is to study the thermal buckling of sandwich plates with advanced hybrid SMA/CNT/GF/EP composite face sheets. It is shown that in some circumstances, the co-incorporation of SMAs and CNTs leads to an astonishing enhancement in the critical buckling temperatures of sandwich plates.

The fuel cell is one of the promising environment-friendly energy sources for the next generation. The fuel cell provides good energy efficiency above 40% without pollution or noise. Different fuel cell types are usually distinguished by the kind of electrolyte. Among these, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has advantages of high power density. low operating temperature, relatively quick start-up, and rapid response to varying loads. The bipolar plate is a major component of the PEM fuel cell stack, and it takes a large portion of stack volume, weight and cost. In this study, as alternative materials for bipolar plate of PEM fuel cells, graphite composites were fabricated by compression molding and by machining. Graphite particles mixed with epoxy resin were used as the main substance to provide electric conductivity. Flow channels were fabricated by compression molding with design of experiments (DOE) to evaluate moldability. The cost for compression molding of graphite-composite bipolar plate was compared with machining cost to make the same bipolar plate.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유의 첨가가 흑연 보강 전도성 고분자 복합재료의 전기적, 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 압축성형법을 이용하여 흑연입자/탄소섬유 혼합 보강 전도성 고분자 복합재료를 제조하였으며 흑연입자의 고비율 충진은 복합재료 내에서 입자 사이의 직접 접촉을 통해 높은 전기 전도도(>100S/cm)를 얻는 것을 가능하게 하였다. 하지만 흑연입자의 비율이 높아짐에 따라 소재의 강도가 점차 떨어지게 되므로 이를 보완하기 위해 탄소섬유를 첨가하여 그에 따른 소재의 전기적, 기계적 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 탄소섬유의 충진 비율이 증가함에 따라 소재의 굽힘 강도는 증가하였으나 탄소섬유의 클러스터 형성으로 인해 탄소섬유 사이에 비전도성 영역이 발생하여 복합재료의 전기 전도도는 감소함을 확인하였다. 탄소섬유의 충진 비율이 전체 시스템의 20wt.%인 경우에는 굽힘 강도는 12% 증가한 반면 전기 전도도가 27% 감소하였다.

A new method of parameter determination in the fatigue residual strength degradation model is proposed. The new method and minimization technique is compared experimentally to account for the effect of tension-compression fatigue loading of spheroidal graphite cast iron and graphite/epoxy laminate. It is shown that the correlation between the experimental results and the theoretical prediction on the fatigue life and residual strength distribution using the proposed method is very reasonable. Therefore, the proposed method is more adjustable in the determination of the parameter than minimization technique for the prediction of the fatigue characteristics.

This study describes ultrasonic reflection at a water/fiber reinforced polymer composite/water interface. Theoretical predictions of reflected beam amplitudes are also presented. Four different polymer composite laminates are investigated : T300/5208 graphite/epoxy $[0]_{31T},\;[45/90/-45/0]_{3S},\;[45/-45]_{2S}$, and S-2 glass/epoxy $[0/90]_{4S}$. The analytical leaky plate wave dispersion curves for the unidirectional laminate and other three laminates can be obtained by searching for the minimum magnitude of the reflection coefficient.

This paper predicted the thermal conductivity of spun carbon/phenolic composites by the thermal resistance method. This method uses the analogy between the diffusion of heat and electrical charge. To verify the theoretical predictions, the thermal conductivity of spun carbon/phenolic composites was examined experimentally. The reported thermal conductivities of graphite/epoxy composite of a eight harness satin laminate was used of the comparison with the prediction values of the model and it was noticed that a good agreement has been found.

The dynamic behavior of graphite/epoxy laminated composite shell structure due to low-velocity impact is investigated using the finite element method. In this analysis, the Newmark's constant-acceleration time integration algorithm is used. The impact response such as contact force, central deflection and dynamic strain history form shell structure analysis are compared with those form the plate non-linear analysis. The effects of curvature, impact velocity and mass of impactor on the composite shell are discussed.
