This paper aims to experimentally and numerically explore fracture mechanism characteristics of ultra-thin chopped carbon fiber tape-reinforced thermoplastics (UT-CTT) hat-shaped hollow beam under transverse static and impact loadings. Three distinct failure modes were observed in the impact bending tests, whereas only one similar progressive collapse mode was observed in the transverse bending tests. The numerical model was to incorporate some hypothetical inter-layers in UT-CTT and assign them with the failure model as cohesive zone model, which can perform non-linear characteristics with failure criterion for representing delamination failure. The dynamic material parameters for the impact model were theoretically predicted with consideration of strain-rate dependency. It shows that the proposed modeling approach for interacting damage modes can serve as a benchmark for modeling damage coupling in composite materials.

In this study, the fracture property of the bonded structure with aluminum foam is analyzed by using the closed aluminium foam for impact absorber. DCB and TDCB specimens manufactured with the single lap joint method of mode 3 are designed by varying the thickness. The static analysis through ANSYS finite element program is carried out on the specimen model due to each thickness. Also, the static experiment is performed in order to verify the analysis result. This study aims at comparing the shear strengths of the bonded structures of DCB and TDCB made with aluminum foam and investigating the mechanical properties.

As a part of light weight, the adhesive has been applied to joint the mechanical structure. The porous material is used with aluminum foam in case of the structure bonded with only adhesive. In order to confirm the durability, it is necessary to investigate the fracture toughness at the bonded joint. So, the fracture property at joint interface of aluminum foam different from the non-porous material becomes especially important. In this study, the tapered double cantilever beams(TDCB) with the type of mode Ⅲ are manufactured with aluminum foam. The fracture toughness at the joint of the structure bonded with only a adhesive can be obtained. The static analyses are carried out and verified the results by the experiment. As the results of static analyses, the reaction forces ranged from 0.30 to 0.41 kN at all specimens are shown when the forced displacements are proceeded as much as 7 to 9 mm. As the results of analyses and experiments are compared with each other, there is a little bit of difference between these results. Through the result of this study, the mechanical properties at TDCB specimens with the type of mode Ⅲ can be understood.

Because aluminum foam is porous material, the frature property is different from that of non-porous material. This aluminum foam can be used with the joint bonded with adhesive in order to utilize the light weight to the maximum. So, the study of fracture property on bonded surface can be important. In this study, the analyses on the specimens with two kinds of configuration as DCB(Double Cantilever Beams) and TDCB(Tapered Double Cantilever Beams) aluminum foams of mode Ⅲ type bonded with adhesive are carried out and compared with each other. And the fracture properties the adhesive surfaces of the structure with bonded aluminum foams are studied as the static experiments on these verifications are done. DCB and TDCB specimens used in this study have the variable of thickness(t) as 35mm, 45mm and 55mm. As the result of this study, the range of reaction forces are 0.3 to 0.8 kN and 0.5 to 1.2 kN at DCB and TDCB specimens respectively. The results of the static experiments can also be confirmed with these similar results. These study results can be obtained by only a simulation without the special experimental procedures. The mechanical properties of the bonded structures composed of DCB and TDCB aluminum foams with mode Ⅲ type can be thought to be analyzed effectively.

So, the fracture property at joint interface of aluminum foam different from the non-porous material becomes especially important. In this study, the static facture analysis was carried out with DCB specimen bonded with adhesive as the loading type of mode Ⅲ. The thicknesses of specimens are 35, 45 and 55 mm. When the forced displacements 5 mm applied on the specimen proceed at specimen thicknesses of 35, 45 and 55 mm, the maximum stresses is shown to be happened at the range from 3.3 MPa to 3.6 MPa. The maximum equivalent stress happened at the specimen thickness of 35mm becomes highest among four kinds of specimens. The static experiment is carried on in order to verify these analyses representatively. As the experimental data become similar with the simulation data, it is thought that these analysis data can be applied at analyzing them into the adhesive joint of real porous material.

An aluminum foam is the super light metal which can be adjusted with the adhesive by using the joint method. In this study, the tapered double cantilever beams(TDCB) with the type of mode Ⅲ are manufactured with aluminum foam. The fracture toughness at the joint of the structure bonded with only a adhesive can be obtained. The static analyses are carried out and verified the results by the experiment. As the results of static analyses, the reaction forces ranged from 0.30 to 0.41 kN at all specimens are shown when the forced displacements are proceeded as much as 8 to 9 mm. The tapered double cantilever specimen for mode Ⅲ with the thickness of 55 mm is carried out by the static experiment representatively to verify the analysis results. As the results of analyses and experiments are compared with each other, there is a little bit of difference between these results. So, the simulation results of this study can be thought to be confirmed. It is thought that even the only analysis data omitting the extra experimental procedure can be verified in order to use the data practically. Through the result of this study, the mechanical properties at TDCB specimens with the type of mode Ⅲ can be understood.

SiCp/6061AI 복합재료의 파괴인성을 평가하기 위하여 정적파괴인성에 대해서는 복수시험편법을, 동적파괴인성시험에 대해서는 stop block법을 실시하였다. 주균열은 예비균열의 선단에서 시험편두께방향 전역에 걸쳐서 일시에 발생하는 것이 아니고, 균열발생의 초기단계에서 국부적으로 형성된 균열이 시험편두께방향으로의 균열의 확장을 완료한 후 주균열로 이행해 간다. 정적 및 동적시험에서 컴플라이언스변화율법에 의해 검출된 균열발생점은 균열확장의 완료점과 거의 일치하고 있기 때문에 본 재료의 파괴인성 결정에 유효하다. 본 재료에서 동적파괴인성치는 정적파괴인성치보다 크게 나타났다. 이것은 동적충격시 입자파괴에 의한 에너지의 흡수.분산효과와 균열진전경로의 큰 편향에 기인한다고 생각된다.
