Structural polymer composites are susceptible to damage in the form of cracks, which form deep within the structure where detection is difficult and repair is almost impossible. A recent methodology for the damage repair of polymer composites using the self-healing technique is reported. The polymerization of the healing agent is triggered by contact with an embedded catalyst, being necessary to damage repair of polymer composites. For this purpose, the self-healing concept is introduced and the manufacturing process of microcapsule with the healing agent is briefly described. The polymerization between the healing agent and the catalyst is verified by the use of ESEM and IR spectroscopy. Finally the efficiency of the self-healing technique is investigated by measuring the critical load of TDCB specimen.

진주조개를 모방한 생체모방 복합재료의 저속충격 하에서의 동적 거동에 대해 연구하였다. 이러한 복합재료는 단백질과 미네랄 층이 계층구조를 이루고 있다. 유한요소해석을 사용하여 복합재료의 충격거동을 해석하였다. 복합재료의 계층구조가 동적 거동에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 생체모방구조물은 계층구조의 차수가 높아짐에 따라 저속충격에 대해 충격지점에서 구조물이 받는 최대 응력과 변위, 접촉하중을 감소시킨다.

This paper summarizes the structural characterization of borassus fruit fibers by means of various characterization techniques, optimization of alkali treatment of borassus fruit fine fibers (BFF) with a 5% concentration sodium hydroxide solution for different time intervals (1, 4, 8 and 12 h) and the changes occurring in borassus fibers. This paper also discusses the manufacturing of BFF/PP compotes using MAPP as a compatibilizer in addition to alkali treatment. Composites were evaluated for their mechanical and morphological properties. The tensile strength and modulus, flexural strength and modulus and impact strength were increased for alkali treated/MAPP composites by 4.5%, 17%, 17.2 %, 9% and 10% respectively.

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites and ceramic matrix composites (CMC) which contain electrically conductive phases have been designed and fabricated to introduce the detection capability of damage/fracture detection into these materials. The composites were made electrically conductive by adding carbon and TiN particles into FRP and CMC, respectively. The resistance of the conductive FRP containing carbon particles showed almost linear response to strain and high sensitivity over a wide range of strains. After each load-unload cycle the FRP retained a residual resistance, which increased with applied maximum stress or strain. The FRP with carbon particles embedded in cement (mortar) specimens enabled micro-crack formation and propagation in the mortar to be detected in situ. The CMC materials exhibited not only sensitive response to the applied strain but also an increase in resistance with increasing number of load-unload cycles during cyclic load testing. These results show that it is possible to use these composites to detect and/or fracture in structural materials, which are required to monitor the healthiness or safety in industrial applications and public constructions.

In this review, composite structures are used for many industries for at least four decades. Polymeric composites are one of the important structures in the aerospace and aviation industry because of their high strength and low weight. In this comprehensive review, mechanical behaviors, physical and mechanical properties of polymeric composites, different types of reinforcements, different methods to fabricate polymeric composites, historical structural composite materials for aviation and aerospace industries, and also different methods for the characterization are reported. How to use various methods of composite preparation using different nanofillers as reinforcements and its effect on the physical properties and mechanical behavior of composites are discussed as well.

In this study, a new constitutive model has been developed to predict the elastic behavior of plain weave textile composites, using the finite element (FE) method. The geometric conditions and basic assumptions of this model are based on the basics of a continuum theory developed for the plane curved composites. In this model, the mechanical properties of the weave region and pure matrix region is calculated separately and then imported for the FE analysis. This new constitutive model is used to implement the mechanical properties of weave region in the representative volume element (RVE). The constitutive relations are implemented as user-material subroutine code (UMAT) in ABAQUS® FE software. The results of FE analysis have been compared with experimental results and other data available in the literature. These comparisons confirmed the capability of the presented model for the prediction of effective elastic properties of plain weave fabric composites.

입자 복합재료는 입자의 형상, 크기 그리고 분포의 산포특성으로 인해 물성치의 편차가 존재하고, 입자 복합재료를 사용한 시스템의 거동 또한 산포가 존재한다. 하지만 입자의 산포특성을 고려하기 어려우므로 균질화법을 사용하여 시스템의 거동을 해석하거나 국부영역에서 미세구조를 적용하여 해석한다. 본 연구에서는 입자의 랜덤적 산포특성을 고려하기 위해 RMDFs(random morphology description functions)를 사용하여 랜덤 미세구조를 생성하였고, 단면 1차 모멘트를 사용하여 가우시안 함수의 수(N)와 입자의 산포특성의 관계를 분석하였다. 그리고 랜덤 미세구조 구조물의 거동을 분석하기 위하여 랜덤 미세구조를 전체에 반영한 외팔보에 multi-scale 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 입자의 산포특성과 외팔보의 처짐의 편차는 N의 증가에 따라 감소하고 N=200에서 수렴하는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 시멘트계 건설재료의 작업성 증진을 위하여 나노버블수의 사용을 시도하였다. 사용된 나노버블수는 약 750 nm의 입경을 지닌 나노버블이 7% 포함된 배합수를 사용하였다. 초고성능콘크리트, 경량시멘트 복합체, 고강도 모르타르 등 다양한 시멘트 복합체에 나노버블수가 배합수로서 사용될 때 미치는 영향을 실험하였다. 작업성을 대표할 수 있는 플로우 값이 시편에 따라 3-22%정도 증진됨을 확인하였다. 하지만 압축강도에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 재료의 굳은 성질에 큰 영향 없이 시멘트 복합체의 작업성을 증진시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법으로 나노버블수의 사용이 다양한 시멘트 복합체에 활용될 수 있음을 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 시멘트 복합재료와 직접 혼합 가능한 자기치유 마이크로 캡슐을 제조하였으며, 자기치유 마이크로 캡슐이 혼합된 시멘트 복합재료의 품질 및 균열 치유 성능 특성을 평가하였다. 종래의 경우 자기치유 캡슐 제조와 균열 치유 특성 평가에만 치중되어 평가되어 왔다. 따라서 자기치유 마이크로 캡슐은 시멘트 복합재료와 혼합시 시멘트 복합재료의 품질에 미치는 영향이 있기 때문에 이에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 자기치유 마이크로 캡슐을 혼합한 시멘트 복합재료의 테이블 플로우 및 공기량 평가 결과 혼합율에 관계없이 테이블 플로우 및 공기량은 큰 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 압축강도 및 쪼갬인장강도는 캡슐 혼합율이 증가할수록 강도가 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. Water Flow에 따른 균열 치유 특성 평가 결과 초기 투수량이 감소하는 결과가 나타났으며, 시간 경과에 따라 반응 생성물 발생하여 균열이 치유되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Despite the significant features of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCCs), including better mechanical, fractural, and durability performance, their high content of cement has restricted their use in the construction industry. Although ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is considered the main supplementary cementitious material, its slow pozzolanic reaction stands against its application. The addition of nano-sized mineral modifiers, including nano-silica (NS), is an alternative to address the drawbacks of using GGBFS. The main object of this empirical and numerical research is to examine the effect of NS on the strain-hardening behavior of cementitious composites; ten mixes were designed, and five levels of NS were considered. This study proposes a new method, using a four-point bending test to assess the use of nano-silica (NS) on the flexural behavior, first cracking strength, fracture energy, and micromechanical parameters including interfacial friction bond strength and maximum bridging stress. Digital image correlation (DIC) was used for monitoring the initiation and propagation of the cracks. In addition, to attain a deep comprehension of fiber/matrix interaction, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was used. It was discovered that using nano-silica (NS) in cementitious materials results in an enhancement in the matrix toughness, which prevents multiple cracking and, therefore, strain-hardening. In addition, adding NS enhanced the interfacial transition zone between matrix and fiber, leading to a higher interfacial friction bond strength, which helps multiple cracking in the composite due to the hydrophobic nature of polypropylene (PP) fibers. The findings of this research provide insight into finding the optimum percent of NS in which both ductility and high tensile strength of the composites would be satisfied. As a concluding remark, a new criterion is proposed, showing that the optimum value of nano-silica is 2%. The findings and proposed method of this study can facilitate the design and utilization of green cementitious composites in structures.
