The purpose of this study is to investigate the shear modulus, the shear strength at failure and the failure process of QLS(quadruple-lap shear) Test specimen were made of two different fiber contents CFRR and HTPB based polyurethane matrix. The CFRR specimen were prepared with 6.16% chopped carbon fiber and 11.6% chopped carbon fiber. We carried out the shear tests for three types of specimen. The shear modulus and strength of the CFRR was inspected with the increasing contents of chopped carbon fiber. In the other hand the shear strain of the CFRR was inspected with the decreasing contents of chopped carbon fiber.

Screw rotors are core parts of screw type air compressors, compressors in refrigerating machines and super chargers of automobiles etc. They are composed of a female and a male rotors which have complex section profiles and helically swept geometry. Screw type compressors have advantages of low noise, high efficiency, less needs in maintenance etc. Usually, machining process of screw rotors requires long machining time using CNC machine designed only for screw rotors, which increase the cost of production. In this work, the screw rotors for air-compressors were manufactured with fiber reinforced epoxy composite materials by resin transfer molding process. The mold for the RTM process was made of aluminum and silicon rubber and was designed for release of helical shape products. Composite screw rotors, manufactured by RTM process, have advantages of lightweight, less cost of production, good characteristics of vibration etc.

Air springs are designed to support loads using the volume elasticity in a cylindrical shaped air bag made of a composite material with a rubber matrix and two plies of reinforced fibers. Recently, applications of these springs have been expanded from railway vehicles to passenger cars. The current study presents a finite element analysis of a manufactured air spring for a passenger car. The analysis was conducted including the mounting steps of the air bag using a static loading condition. A method for controlling the internal pressure and displacements during the mounting step was developed. The characteristic load curve and the shape of the air bag were in good agreement with the experimental data with respect to the design height, the bump height and the rebound height. Results indicate that ply angles of fibers vary from 38 degrees to 56 degrees during static loading.

In this study, we performed the static analysis of a cord-reinforced rubber airspring and generated the three-dimensional half-symmetry model which use the finite-strain shell elements to model the airbag. the three-dimensional hydrostatic fluid elements to model the air-filled cavity, and the rebar elements to model the multi-ply nylon reinforcement of airbag. In addition, a three-dimensional rigid surface is used to define the contact between the airspring and metal bead. The air inside the airspring cavity has been modeled as a compressible fluid satisfying the ideal gas law. The conclusions of this study are as follows. 1) In the pressurization step of analysis, we could predict the change of vertical reaction force, cavity volume and pressure within the airspring. 2) In the second step of analyzing vertical static stiffness, the increase of the vertical load increases the vertical stiffness. 3) In case of changing the angle of nylon cord, the increase the angle of nylon cord increases the vertical stiffness.

It is necessary to analyze the mechanical behaviors of the power steering hose, which must play a proper role under severe operating conditions, in order to prepare a preventive measure fur contrary effects expected in unfavorable circumstances. In this paper, the stress and deformation characteristics of the hose components such as rubber, sleeve, nipple and reinforced braids during the swaging process, are analyzed using the finite element method. Contact conditions identical to the manufacturing process are taken into account, and the material properties based on experimental data are used in the analysis. Investigations into the mutual relations between the manufacturing conditions and the hose performances are done with respect to the jaw stroke on the basis of the stress and strain values of the hose components after swaging process.

In this study, the fracture phenomena of optical disks are discussed and then some recommendations are presented to prevent the fracture. The fracture occurs when disks have crack on the inner radius of the disks. Since the crack growth and the fracture result from the stress concentration on the tip of the crack, a measure should be taken to overcome the stress concentration. This problem can be resolved by the structural modification of a disk. This study proposes 3 types of improved optical disks, which are robust to the disk fracture due to the high spinning speed of a disk. The first type is a disk reinforced by wire rings, the second type is a disk added by texture fibers, and the third type is a rubber-coated disk.

With the aid of advanced structural engineering, the construction of infrastructures has been recently accelerating to keep up with rapid economic growth. Construction activities and operation of transportation facilities cause civil petitions associated with vibration-induced damages or nuisances. As part of the decrease of vibration induced damage, the objective of this study is to develop vibration-controlled concrete with vibration-reduced materials, which can be recycled from obsolete materials, such as aged tires, plastics and etc. Appropriate mix proportion has been used for making 10 reinforced concrete panels with vibration-reduced materials, which have been tested to investigate on vibration reduction capability, based on the time and frequency domain analysis, and vibration velocity level analysis. Vibration-reduced mixtures are latex, styrofoam, rubber powder and plastic resin, which have been determined to by reduce vibration.

Damping materials for reducing heavy-weight floor impact noise in reinforced concrete structures were tested in apartment buildings. The effect of damping materials and an impact isolator were compared with an on-site experiment conducted in a high-rise apartment building. The loss factor of damping material analyzed more than 2 times than rubber to $1.5{\sim}2.3$, could know that Damping layer has excellent attenuation performance in side of vibration reduction. The results showed that the resonance frequency increased but vibration acceleration level decreased when the damping materials were used. The heavy-weight impact sound levels of the structure decreased substantially at 63 Hz, whereas the sound levels of the structure with the impact isolator increased.

분쇄한 FRP(Fiver-Reinforced Plastics) 폐기물을 사용한 폴리머 모르타르의 물성에 고나하여 조사하였다. 분쇄한 FRP 폐기물을 시멘트 모르타르의 세골재로 재활용하기 위하여 세골재에 대하여 0~50wt% 치환.사용하였고, FRP 폐기물의 사용으로 나타나는 강도 저하현상을 보완하기 위하여 3종류 폴리머 혼화제의 첨가량을 변화시켜 각종 공시체를 제작하였다. 폴리머 혼화제로서는 styrene-bytadiene rubber(SBR) 라텍스, polyacrylic ester(PAE) 에멀젼 및 ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA)에멀젼을 사용하였다. 분쇄한 FRP 폐기물을 사용한 시멘트 모르타르에 폴리머 혼화제를 첨가하여 만든 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르는 폴리머 혼화제를 첨가하지 않은 모르타르보다 압축 및 휨강도가 크게 증가하였다. 폴리머 시멘트비 10wt%에서 세골재 대용으로 분쇄한 FRP 폐기물의 적정 치환량은 20wt%로 나타났다. 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 가열양생하여 제조한 폴리머 시멘트 모르타르는 폴리머 시멘트비 10wt%이하에서 표준양생한 모르타르보다 강도가 저하되었다. 폴리머 시멘트 포르타르의 흡수율은 폴리머 시멘트비가 증가함에 따라 크게 감소하였다.

Various materials are used as electrical barrier materials, such as glass, insulating oil, gas, paper and polymer. These materials shut off electricity from conductor as a barrier and separate as well as support conductor from outside environment while using electrical equipment. Polymers are generally used for cable insulation material. Recently environmental regulation are reinforced and eco-friendly materials are in trend.
