In this study, the damage progression process for plain-woven carbon fabric composites (PW-CFCs) under cyclic loading was investigated. Under cyclic loading, the damage progression was estimated intermittently by using the thermo-elastic damage analysis (TDA) method. Crack density for each layer of the specimen was also estimated at several stages of fatigue. It was found from these results that the damage progression process was divided into three stages. In the first stage, especially, the damage accumulation occurred independently in the PW-CFC specimen and progressed easily along the transverse fiber bundles. All experimental results showed that the damage progression in the first fatigue stage was explained by considering damage-units (a unit area of damage progression and accumulation). Based on the percolation theory, the damage progression for PW-CFC under cyclic loading can be characterized by re-generating the distribution pattern of damage-units.

Carbon fabric/phenolic composites modified with potassium titanate whisker (PTW) were prepared by a dip-coating and hot-press molding technique, and the tribological properties of the resulting composites were investigated systematically using a ring-on-block arrangement under different sliding conditions. Experimental results showed that the optimal PTW significantly decreased the wear-rate. The worn surfaces of the composites and the transfer film formed on the counterpart steel ring were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to reveal the wear mechanisms. The transfer films formed on the counterpart surfaces made contributions to the improvement of the tribological behavior of the carbon fabric composites. The friction and wear of the filled carbon fabric composites was significantly dependent on the sliding conditions. It is observed that the wear-rate increased with increasing applied load and sliding speeds.

This paper presents the development of methods for improving the thermal conductivity of fiber reinforcing materials based on the fabric structures. The thermal analysis of fabric structure in thermal load calculation is performed by Fourier’s Law of Thermal Conduction and Steady-State Thermal calculation in Siemens NX. This study leads to the development of thermal conductivity in manufacturing technology of fiber reinforcing materials. Keywords: Thermal conductivity, fabric structure, polymer composite materials
