Abstract

This study describes viscoelasticity analysis of carbon-fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite material. One of the most important problem during high temperature molding process is residual stress. Residual stress can cause warpage and cracks which can lead to serious defects of the final product. For the difference in thermal expansion coefficient and change of resin property during curing, it is difficult to predict the final deformed shape of carbon-fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite. The consideration of chemical shrinkage can reduce the prediction errors. For this reason, this study includes the viscoelasticity and chemical shrinkage effects in FE analysis by creating subroutines in ABAQUS. Analysis results are compared with other researches to verify the validity of the subroutine developed, and several stacking sequences are introduced to compare tested results.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유 강화 복합재의 점탄성 성질을 적용한 유한요소 해석에 대해서 기술하였다. 고온의 성형과정에서 발생하는 가장 중요한 문제 중 하나는 잔류응력의 발생이다. 잔류응력으로 인해 성형이 끝난 후 뒤틀림, 균열이 일어 날 수 있으며 이는 완성품에 심각한 결함을 가져올 수 있다. 잔류응력의 주요 원인은 점탄성이며 고온의 성형과정에서 열팽창계수의 차이와 수지의 시간 및 온도에 대한 물성의 변화로 인해 발생하는 탄소섬유 강화 복합재의 특징이다. 화학 수축도 잔류응력에 많은 영향을 주며 이를 고려한 뒤틀림 예측에서 오차를 줄일 수 있는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구는 복합재 성형에 사용된 온도변화에 대한 경화도와 점탄성 효과, 화학수축을 유한요소 해석으로 수행하기 위한 기법을 연구하고, 점탄성의 영향성을 연구하였다. 기존에 연구되어 있는 논문을 참고하여 서브루틴의 타당성을 검증한 후 나아가 복합재의 적층각의 변화에 따른 응력과 변형을 해석해 봄으로써 실제 복합재의 성형 시 발생하는 휨 현상에 대한 예측방법을 제시하였다.
