Test and Finite Element Analysis on Compression after Impact Strength for Laminated Composite Structures of Unidirectional CFRP

본 연구에서는 구조재로 널리 사용되는 일방향 탄소섬유강화 플라스틱 복합재 적층구조의 충격 후 압축강도에 대한 시험 및 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 연구에서 사용된 복합재 적층판은 적층방법에 따라 2종류로 구분되며, 각 적층판에는 4가지의 충격에너지를 적용하였다. 충격 및 압축강도 시험은 미국재료시험협회 규격을 준수하여 수행하였으며 비파괴검사 방법인 C-Scan을 통해 충격손상을 분석하고 압축시험을 통해 충격 후 압축강도를 산출하였다. 충격 및 압축강도 해석은 복합재 섬유/기지/단층/적층판 수준의 손상과 파손을 점진적으로 예측할 수 있는 점진적 파손해석을 사용하였다. 접촉하중, 처짐, 충격손상, 압축강도 등에 대한 시험 및 해석결과의 비교로부터 해석결과의 타당성을 확인하였다. In this study, tests and finite element analyses were performed regarding compression after impact strength for laminated composite structures of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastic widely used in structural materials. Two lay-up sequences of composite laminates were selected as test specimens and four impact energy conditions were applied respectively. Impact and compressive strength tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM standards. Impact damages in test specimens were analyzed by using non-destructive inspection method of C-Scan, and compression after impact strengths were calculated with compressive test results. Progressive failure analysis method that can progressively simulate damages and fractures of fiber/matrix/lamina/laminate level was used for impact and compressive strength analyses. All analysis results including contact force, deflection, impact damages, compressive strengths, etc. were compared to test results, and the validity of analysis method was verified.
