모듈형 LNG Tank의 외조를 구성하는 SCP(sandwich concrete panel)에 대해서 중속충돌시험기로 충돌시험을 수행하고 이에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 충돌시험에 사용된 시험체는 가로세로 각각 2m로 외조의 일반단면과 연결부단면의 특성을 가지도록 제작하였다. 51kg의 탄자를 설계기준에 규정된 충돌에너지를 갖도록 중속충돌시험기로 45m/sec로 이상의 속도로 가속하여 충돌시켰다. 이런 충돌시험을 두 차례 반복하고 시험체의 극한능력을 평가하기 위하여 충돌속도를 2배로 하여 충돌시켰다. 충돌시험의 수치해석 모델은 LS-DYNA를 이용하여 수행되었다. 외측의 강판와 그 사이의 충진콘크리트를 고 체요소로 모델링하고 전단연결재는 보요소를 이용하여 모델링하였다. 강재의 재료모델은 탄소성 및 파단거동을 고려하였으며 콘크리트의 재료는 CSCM재료로 모델링하였다. 해석에서 전면부의 충돌변형은 시험에서 얻어진 변형과 유사한 값을 얻었으나 후면부의 변형은 시험결과와 다소 작은 값을 보였다. 일반부 단면에 대한 2배속 충돌시험에서는 전후면의 강판이 파 손되었으나 해석결과에서는 전면부의 강판만 파손되었다. 수치해석에서 충돌에너지는 주로 충진 콘크리트로 전이되었는데 이는 이전 연구에서 보였던 고에너지를 가진 충돌의 경우와 다른 경향이다. 작성된 모델은 구조적으로 보수적인 결과를 보 이므로 실제 설계에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Damping and sound absorption not only reduce environmental pollution caused by vibration and noise, but also improves processing accuracy, resolution of precision measuring instruments and fatigue life of machine parts in various precision machines. The vibration-damping plate is largely divided into a constrained type in which the resin is confined by a plate and a non-constrained type in which a plate is made of a polymer material mainly composed of polymer. The external vibration energy is absorbed by the thermal energy required for friction, stretching and compression of resin, so that the noise and vibration generated by resonance are reduced. The vibration damping ability of the sandwich plate produced in this study was found to be somewhat superior, which may be due to the difference in adhesive force during the manufacture of the sandwich plate. In the experimental results, it was confirmed that the sandwich plate material is superior to the vibration damping ability than the 5182 aluminum single plate material, it can be seen that the sandwich plate is effective for vibration damping of the aluminum alloy plate material.

An aluminium sandwich sheet is the composite adhered by rolling two aluminum panels to one plastic core. If it has the same bending stiffness as an steel sheets, it is about 65% lighter than steel sheet and 30% lighter than aluminum sheet. In present study, we intend to develop application technologies of an aluminum sandwich sheet for auto body panels from selecting composed materials of aluminium sandwich sheets to fabricating prototype. For this study, for the application of a light sandwich sheet to an automotive hood part, ribbing process so called, hemming for which joined between an inner and an outer panel was introduced. From these results, it was found that the sandwich sheet could improve the weight and maintain the flexural rigidity simultaneously comparing to the steel sheet.

To fabricate the 5182 aluminum-polymer sandwich panels, the strength of 5182 aluminum panels, which are the skin sheets that constitutes the sandwich composite panels, is changed according to the degree of heat treatment after rolling, and the characteristics of sandwich panel are also changed. In addition, in the stress-strain curves of the sandwich panel, the serration behavior observed in the 5182 aluminum alloy sheet is also observed. This serration behavior causes surface roughness during sheet forming, which is a serious problem in application to automotive body sheet. In this study, the tensile properties of the 5182 aluminum sandwich panels at room and elevated temperature were carefully investigated by tensile test. It can be found that when the aluminum surface sheets having insufficient heat treatment time is applied, the serration behavior does not completely disappear from the temperature of the room temperature to 160℃.

The objective of this study was to develop formability evaluation techniques in order to apply aluminum sandwich panel for automotive body parts. For this purpose, formability evaluation by using FLD (forming limit diagram) was carried out in order to secure the fundamental data for the measurement of sheet metal forming and the establishment of optimum forming conditions of the aluminum sandwich panel. From the results of these formability evaluation, the formability of aluminum alloy sheet which was the skin component for the sandwich panel was higher than that of sandwich panel. In addition, the formability of sandwich sheet which was made by present study was same as that of sandwich panel made by foreign country. Also, it was found that sandwich panel made in present study could have the excellent deep draw-ability when it was compared to the foreign made sandwich panel.

Light weighting is one of techniques considered importantly at designing the mechanical structure using the light weight material. This study deals with aluminum-6061 and aluminum foam which stood in the spotlight of light weight material. And the finite element method for safety evaluation has been carried out in order to prevent from the damage and fatigue fracture due to crack appearing at the mechanical structure with this material. The simulation analysis as MT(middle tension) test was carried out by using the core of aluminum foam and the material laminated with sandwich structure of Al-6061. The mechanical structure is linked together with various parts and designed as the material with hole or crack. So, MT test is one of the test methods to evaluate the fatigue fracture characteristic of material and the strength inside material with the center crack by applying the load to the part connected pin. The real material strength is thought to be evaluated through the study result of MT test analysis.

본 연구에서는 LNG 저장시설의 외조를 구성하는 SCP(sandwich concrete panel)에 대한 충돌해석을 수행하고 그 거동을 분석하였다. 설계기준 중 하나인 BS7777에서 제시하는 충돌에너지와 동일한 값을 갖도록 두 종류의 충돌체와 다양한 충돌 속도를 이용하여 충돌조건을 구성하고 이에 대한 비선형동적 해석모델을 구성하여 설정된 충돌조건에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 또한 1차 충돌 후에 동일한 지점에 같은 충돌에너지를 가진 2차 충돌이 일어나는 것을 가정하여 충돌거동을 분석하였다. 해석결과 동일한 충돌에너지를 갖는 충돌에서 충돌체의 크기가 작고, 충돌속도가 작을수록 큰 변형이 발생하는 것 으로 나타났다. 충돌에너지는 외측강판과 내부 충진콘트리트가 6:4정도의 비율로 소산시키는 것으로 나타났다. 중복충돌해석 에서는 2차 충돌체의 크기에 따라 최종충돌변형이 지배되는 것으로 나타났고 2차 충돌에 의한 변형량은 1차 충돌에 비하여 적은 값을 나타냈는데 이는 강판의 막거동 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 이격된 중복충돌에서는 이격위치와 관계없이 2차 충 돌점에서 가장 큰 변형이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

Impact damage tolerance is an important design requirement for composite structures. In this study, the effect of post impact damage and hole size of the composite sandwich skin / sandwich with core specimen on compressive strength of the laminate was analyzed. Three specimen tests were performed in this research. Two tests were carried out on pure bending test specimens subjected to impact damage to the skin and specimen with a hole in one of its skin as a damage. Through this test, we compared the reduction of compressive strength due to the size of skin damage and the size of the hole. Also, core-free specimen with an open hole under uniaxial loading were tested to produce reference data for comparison with the series tested earlier. As results of the tests, the sandwich beams with damage size and open hole are almost identical, and we concluded that the prediction of compressive strength reduction after impact of the sandwich skin structure can be predicted using an analytical model assuming skin open hole as impact inputs.

Three-dimensional motion analysis systems and force plates are used for gait phase detection and ground reaction force(GRF) or ground reaction moment(GRM) data collection. But force plates as measurement systems are restricted to laboratory environments and have limitations for abnormal walking with foot dragging. Therefore the methods were proposed to compute the GRM from the kinematic data of three-dimensional motion analysis systems. Gait phase detection with kinematic data using foot velocity algorithm(FVA) was performed. The validity of gait phase detection was obtained comparing with the results of force plates. A gait model with 7 segments was composed to compute GRM. The results of gait model with kinematic data were compared with those of force plates. The result of the vertical direction is similar. But anterior-posterior direction and lateral direction show similar tendency with some gaps.

In case of maximum energies, these values are shown to be 70 J and 63 J respectively. As the result of this study, the mechanical properties are investigated through the impact experiments on the composites composed of the closed aluminum foam and the carbon fiber reinforced plastic used frequently as absorbents.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate to the practicing engineers, how to apply the advanced composite materials theory to the slab bridges. For general construction material used, there is certain theoretical limit in sizes. For super slab bridges construction, the reduction in panel weight is the first step to take in order to break such size limits. For a typical slab bridges panel, both concrete and advanced composite sandwich panels are considered. The concrete panel is treated as a special orthotropic plate. Advanced composite sandwich panels are considered as a self-weights less than one tenth of that of concrete panel, with deflections less than that of the concrete panel. This conclusion gives good guide line for design of the light weight of slab bridges.

Recently, the need of weight reduction has been required in automobile industry. In this paper, we aim to evaluate the composite sandwich panel to substitute original steel structure of commercial vehicle. The compressive and drum-peel tests were conducted to consider core materials and resin system of the sandwich panel. Based on the test, we decided the core reinforcement and matrix materials of the panel. As a result, the composite panel were composed of aluminum profile, glass fiber prepreg and aluminum honeycomb. We also confirmed the weight reduction ratio and structural safety compared to prior steel structure components by bending test and FEM simulation.

CFRP composites have high specific strength, specific stiffness, long fatigue life, light weight environmental safety characteristics. In this study, the mechanical properties are investigated through the compressive simulation analysis on the carbon fiber reinforced plastic sandwich. The experiment is carried out with the same condition as the analysis to verify the analysis result. One sandwich plate is composed with four layers. From the upper, this plate has the first, second, third and fourth layers due to the arrangement of angle direction. A plate has the symbol of [0/30/30/0] as the first, second, third and fourth layers due to the angle directions of 0°, 30°, 30° and 0°. There are the plates of [0/30/30/0], [0/60/60/0] and [0/90/90/0] in this study. The maximum compressive load becomes 53.139kN during the compression time of 12 sec in case of the plate of [0/30/30/0]. The maximum compressive load becomes 61.826kN during the compression time of 12 sec in case of the plate of [0/60/60/0]. The maximum compressive load becomes 53.002kN during the compression time of 12 sec in case of the plate of [0/90/90/0]. So, the plate of [0/60/60/0] endures the most load among three plates. The result of this study can be applied practically through the validation of experimental data on the simulation data. In this study, the mechanical characteristics are examined systematically through the impact analysis on the composite material of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic with aluminum foam by using the impact absorption due to CFRP plate.
