Abstract

Mechanical properties of static and dynamic behavior became important since the use of conical composite tubes in large structures such as aerospace, planes, and submarines as well as leisure goods such as bicycle frames, fishing rods, and golf shafts. In the past, the mechanical property prediction model for static behavior was studied using vibration, bending, and buckling. But there is a need to study how fiber orientation error affects mechanical properties of conical composite structure because the model assumes constant fiber orientation angle. The purpose of this study is to derive an equation that can predict the static behavior of conical composite tube for bicycle frames by considering fiber orientation error with respect to various design parameters.

원추형 복합재 튜브는 우주 항공, 비행체, 잠수함 등 큰 구조물뿐만 아니라 자전거 프레임, 낚시대, 골프채 등 레저용품에도 적용이 되면서 정적-동적 거동에서의 기계적 물성 예측의 중요한 연구 분야로 대두되고 있다. 일반적으로 원추형 복합재 튜브의 기계적 물성 예측은 진동, 굽힘, 좌굴에 관하여 많은 연구가 진행되었지만, 복합재료의 섬유 배향 각이 일정하다고 가정하고 기계적 거동을 분석한 것이 대부분이기 때문에 섬유 배향 각이 원추형 복합재 튜브 구조물의 기계적 물성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 섬유 배향 각을 고려한 원추형 복합재료 튜브의 정적 거동에 따른 기계적 물성을 예측하기 위해 수식을 도출하고, 자전거 프레임에 적용하기 위한 다양한 설계 파라메터의 영향을 고찰하였다.
