섬유강화 적층 복합재 차체 구조물의 강도를 평가하기 위해 전체 적층판 접근방법의 적용을 제시하였다. 180km/h급의 한국형 틸팅열차의 하이브리드 복합재 자체 기본설계를 검증하기 위해서 구조해석을 수행하였으며 또한 복합재 적층판의 강도를 구하기 위해 기계적 물성시험을 수행하였다. 결과적으로, 한국형 틸팅열차의 복합재 자체 구조물에서 발생하는 응력값들은 모두 파손영역의 안전한 범위 내에 존재하였으며 전체 적층판 접근방법은 초기 기본석계 단계에서 하이브리드 복합재 자체 구조물의 파손을 예측하는데 매우 유용함을 증명하였다.

The structural stiffness, strength and stability on the bodyshell and floor structures of the Korean Low Floor Bus composed of laminate, sandwich panels and metal reinforced frame were evaluated. The laminate composite panel and facesheet of sandwich panel were made of WR580/NF4000 glass fabric/epoxy laminate, while aluminum honeycomb or balsa was applied to the core materials of the sandwich panel. A finite element analysis was used to verify the basic design requirements of the bodyshell and the floor structure. The use of aluminum reinforced frame and honeycomb core was beneficial for weight saving and structural performance. The symmetry of the outer and inner facesheet thickness of sandwich panels did not affect the structural integrity. The structural strength of the panels was evaluated using Von-Mises criterion for metal structures and total laminate approach criterion for composite structures. All stress component of the bodyshell and floor structures were safely located below the failure stresses. The total laminate approach is recommended to predict the failure of hybrid sandwich composite structures at the stage of the basic design.

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.

In this paper, edge delaminations in cracked composite plates are analytically investigated. A theoretical model based upon a sub-laminate approach is used to determine the strain energy release rate, $G^{ed}$, in [$\pm$$\theta_m$/$90_n$]$_s$ carbon/epoxy laminates loaded in tension. The analysis provides closed-form expressions for the reduced stiffness due to edge delamination and matrix cracking and the total energy release rate. The parameters controlling the laminate behaviour are identified. It is shown that the available energy for edge delamination is increased notably due to transverse ply cracking. Also thermal stresses increase substantially the strain energy release rate and this effect is magnified by the presence of matrix cracking. Prediction for the edge delamination onset strain is presented and compared with experimental data. The analysis could be applied to ceramic matrix composite laminates where similar mechanisms develop, but further experimental evidence is required.

The impact behaviour and the impact-induced damage in laminated composite cylindrical shell subjected to transverse impact by a foreign object are studied using three-dimensional non-linear transient dynamic finite element formulation. A layered version of 20 noded hexahedral element incorporating geometrical non-linearity is developed based on total Langragian approach. Non-linear system of equations resulting from non-linear strain displacement relation and non-linear contact loading are solved using Newton-Raphson incremental-iterative method. Some example problems of graphite/epoxy cylindrical shell panels are considered with variation of impactor and laminate parameters and influence of geometrical non-linear effect on the impact response and the resulting damage is investigated.

The Korean Ministry of Environment started controlling indoor air quality (IAQ) in 2004 through the introduction of a law regulating the use of pollutant emitting building materials. The use of materials with formaldehyde emission levels above $1.25 mg/m^2{\cdot}h$ (JIS A 1901, small chamber method) has been prohibited. This level is equivalent to the $E_2$ grade ($>5.0mg/{\ell}$) of the desiccator method (JIS A 1460). However, the $20{\ell}$ small chamber method requires a 7-day test time to obtain the formaldehyde and volatile organic compound (VOC) emission results from solid building interior materials. As a approach to significantly reduce the test time, the field and laboratory emission cell (FLEC) has been proposed in Europe with a total test time less than one hour. This paper assesses the reproducibility of testing formaldehyde and TVOC emissions from wood-based composites such as medium density fiberboard (MDF), laminate flooring, and engineered flooring using three methods: desiccator, perforator and FLEC. According to the desiccator and perforator standards, the formaldehyde emission level of each flooring was ${\le}E_1$ grade. The formaldehyde emission of MDF was $3.48 mg/{\ell}$ by the desiccator method and 8.57 g/100 g by the perforator method. To determine the formaldehyde emission, the peak areas of each wood-based composite were calculated from aldehyde chromatograms obtained using the FLEC method. Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde and benzaldehyde were detected as aldehyde compounds. The experimental results indicated that MDF emitted chloroform, benzene, trichloroethylene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m,p-xy-lene, styrene, and o-xylene. MDF emitted significantly greater amounts of VOCs than the floorings did.

In this paper, compressive strength of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) confined concrete cylinders is formulated using a hybrid method coupling genetic programming (GP) and simulated annealing (SA), called GP/SA, and a robust variant of GP, namely multi expression programming (MEP). Straightforward GP/SA and MEP-based prediction equations are derived for the compressive strength of CFRP-wrapped concrete cylinders. The models are constructed using two sets of predictor variables. The first set comprises diameter of concrete cylinder, unconfined concrete strength, tensile strength of CFRP laminate, and total thickness of CFRP layer. The most widely used parameters of unconfined concrete strength and ultimate confinement pressure are included in the second set. The models are developed based on the experimental results obtained from the literature. To verify the applicability of the proposed models, they are employed to estimate the compressive strength of parts of test results that were not included in the modeling process. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to determine the contributions of the parameters affecting the compressive strength. For more verification, a parametric study is carried out and the trends of the results are confirmed via some previous studies. The GP/SA and MEP models are able to predict the ultimate compressive strength with an acceptable level of accuracy. The proposed models perform superior than several CFRP confinement models found in the literature. The derived models are particularly valuable for pre-design purposes.

본 연구의 목적은 전기 저항 측정을 통한 탄소 섬유 강화 복합재의 파손 감지를 위한 효과적인 방법을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 복합재 적층판에 특정 파손을 인위적으로 모사하고 전기 저항의 변화와 모사된 파손과의 관계를 정립하려 하였다. 많은 량의 측정치를 효과적으로 처리하기 위하여 자동화된 측정 시스템을 개발하였다. 전기 저항 측정을 위하여 시편 표면에 전극을 제작하는 방법을 개발하였다. 쿠폰과 평판형태의 탄소 섬유 강화 복합재 적층 시편에 인위적인 파손을 부과하고 전기 저항을 측정하고 그 결과를 후처리하는 과정으로 파손을 검출하였다. 쿠폰 형태의 시편은 제작시에 다양한 크기의 테플론 필름을 삽입하여 층간 분리를 모사하였다. 전기 저항 측정 결과 층간 분리 크기가 증가함에 따라 전기 저항도 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 이를 통해 층간 분리의 존재와 그 크기를 검출할 수 있음을 보였다. 평판 시편은 초기에는 인위적인 파손 없이 제작하여 전기저항을 측정하고, 이후 특정 위치에 원공을 뚫고 원공의 직경을 증가시켜 가며 전기저항의 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험에 사용한 평판은 각 변에 6개의 전극을 설치하여 총 24개의 전극을 갖도록 하였으며 수직, 수평, 대각선 방향의 전극간의 전기 저항을 측정하였다. 측정 결과는 탄소 섬유 강화 복합재 구조물의 파손 검출을 위하여 전기 저항 측정법의 가능성을 보였다.
