FRP 복합재료 중 CFRP(탄소 섬유 강화 플라스틱)는 현재 RC 구조물의 내부 및 외부 보강재로서 그리드 형태로 활용되고 있다. 그러나 CFRP 그리드에 대한 성능평가 기준은 매우 미흡하여 FRP 보강근 기준을 사용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 그리드 가닥 수와 경계조건과 변수를 고려하여 CFRP 그리드의 인장 성능을 평가하기 위한 실험이 수행되었다. 가닥 수는 1, 2, 3가닥에 대한 인장시험이 수행되었으며, 경계조건의 경우 모르타르, 에폭시, 에폭시 + 모르타르로 변수를 지정하였다. 인장시험을 통하여 최적 가닥 수 및 최적 경계조건으로 개발한 시편을 토대로 고온 노출 시간에 따라 CFRP 그리드의 인장 성능 평가가 수행되었다. 온도는 130°C 로 유지되었으며, 5개의 시편을 각각 70분(Case 2), 100분(Case 3), 120분(Case 4), 150분(Case 5) 고온에 노출하여 비 고온 노출 시편 과 비교하였다. 실험 결과, 비 고온 노출 시편과 비교하여 Case 5에서는 인장강도와 탄성계수가 각각 최대 51.32% 및 44.4% 감소한 것으로 나타났다.

In recent automobile development, vehicle weight reduction has become a very important goal. Seat weight reduction is a large portion of vehicle weight reduction. In this study, a specimen tensile tests were conducted on the Almag material, which is an alloy of aluminum and magnesium, and also conducted on SAFH440, SAFH 590, SAFC780, and SAFH980, which are mild steel materials used in the seat frame. The tensile specimen tests were carried out in two speed; 2mm/s and 4mm/s, and the obtained stress to strain curve was converted to the analysis material card of true stress to true strain curve to be used in the seat structural analysis. The constructed analysis material card was used in the specimen tensile finite element analysis, and the analysis result was able to obtain the stress to strain curve similar to the test result.

For form stability of membrane structures, membrane material is required to be in tension. Therefore, in planning and maintenance management, the engineer should consider enough about introduction of stress during construction and re-introduction of stress after completion. Clamping part is an important portion with the function for introducing tension into membrane materials, and the function to transmit stress to boundary structures, such as steel frames. Then, the purpose of this research is to clarify stress condition and stress transfer mechanism including clamping part of membrane structures, and to grasp the changing tendency of membrane structures with the passage of time. In this research, following previous one, we perform well-balanced evaluation by conducting tensile fractured tests of clamping part's specimens, and by measuring individually the amount of displacement of not only overall specimen's length but membrane material and clamping part. Thereby, we consider the influence the difference in the hardness of edge rope and the difference in the direction of thread affect modification and fracture load.

This study was carried out to standardize the material properties of roll-over protective structure (ROPS) for agricultural tractor. The material properties which were obtained from stress-strain curve, a result of tensile test stress, were used to apply to the virtual test and varied from one production lot to the other and from one manufacturer to the other. And the finite element analysis was performed on the ROPS according to the OECD code. The results show that the load-displacement curves of virtual test were approximately equal to the actual test curves. The manufacturer or lot has been shown to have little effect on the properties of the material. Therefore, it is expected that the representative values that can be used in the finite element analysis can be determined by averaging the property values.

In this paper, uniaxial tensile tests of ETFE films with three kinds of thicknesses(100, 200, 250μm) and two kinds of directions(machine direction & transverse direction) are performed and the tensile strength, the tensile strain at break and the Young’s modulus of ETFE films are compared for two kinds of specimen types(2 & 5). It could be figured out that there are no significant difference between tensile strengths of two specimen types but the tensile strain at break and the Young’s modulus of ETFE films are affected by the specimen types. And it is concluded that the uniaxial tensile test of specimen type 2 are more reliable than that of specimen type 5.

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.

The composite material has the strong durability and light weight as inhomogeneous material. Nowadays, CFRP composite has been noticed as the light weight, high strength and long fatigue life. This study has been carried actively. In this study, the properties of tensile strengths of CFRP, stainless steel are analyzed, and compared each other. In order to secure the data, the tensile specimens with notches of same size by using CFRP, and stainless steel are manufactured and experimented. When the forced displacement of about 11.5 mm proceeds in case of stainless steel specimen, the maximum load of 31000 N is shown simultaneously with the fracture of specimen. When the forced displacement of about 6 mm proceeds in case of CFRP specimen, the maximum load of 16000 N is shown. So, the structural safety becomes highest at CFRP specimen among these specimens. In this study, the finite element analysis is carried out in order to compare with the experimental results. It is verified that the experimental and analysis results are similarly shown each other. Through the result of this study, it is thought that the simulation analysis data with no experiments are trustworthy at using as the real tensile experimental data.

The hydrogen embrittlement of two austenitic high-manganese steels was investigated using tensile testing under high-pressure gaseous hydrogen. The test results were compared with those of different kinds of austenitic alloys containing Ni, Mn, and N in terms of stress and ductility. It was found that the ultimate tensile stress and ductility were more remarkably decreased under high-pressure gaseous hydrogen than under high-pressure gaseous argon, unlike the yield stress. In the specimens tested under high-pressure gaseous hydrogen, transgranular fractures were usually observed together with intergranular cracking near the fracture surface, whereas in those samples tested under high-pressure gaseous argon, ductile fractures mostly occurred. The austenitic high-manganese steels showed a relatively lower resistance to hydrogen embrittlement than did those with larger amounts of Ni because the formation of deformation twins or microbands in austenitic highmanganese steels probably promoted planar slip, which is associated with localized deformation due to gaseous hydrogen.

This study investigates the property of crack growth at the specimen of structural steel. The behaviour of fracture mechanics on the specimens with only a center crack and with holes existed symmetrically near a center crack is studied. The tensile load is applied on the specimens with these conditions. Stress intensity factors are obtained by the basis of these experimental values and these values are verified with the structural analysis of finite element method. As the length of center crack becomes larger in case of the specimen with holes existed symmetrically near a center crack, the values of deformation energy and stress become larger. On the contrary, the values of deformation energy and stress become smaller as the length of center crack becomes larger in case of the specimen with only a center crack. By examining the stress intensity factor in this study, this value becomes rather smaller although the length of center crack becomes larger. There is the position where crack is likely to happen or weak part at the mechanical structure or the machine. As the holes are punctured and arranged adequately near this crack or weak part by using the result of this study, the fracture due to it can be prevented.
