Currently, stacking condition related to the energy absorption of composite materials is being considered as an issue for the structural efficiency and safety of automobiles, aerospace vehicles, trains, ships even elevators during collision. In particular, CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics) composite materials have found wide applicability because of their inherent design flexibility and improved material properties. The most important objective in designing automobiles is currently to focus on environment-friendly aspect and safety performance aspect. Therefore, the designing automobile should be more concerned on the aspect of securing safety performance, but at the same time, it also should consider reducing weight of automobile structural member. In this study, CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) side members with single-hat-section shaped were manufactured. The axial static collapse tests were performed for the members using universal testing machine, and the collapse mode and energy absorption characteristics were analyzed according to stacking condition such as fiber orientation angle and shape of the section.

Among advanced cutting methods, High Speed Milling (HSM) is often recommended to improve the productivity and to reduce the costs of machining parts. As every cutting process, HSM is characterized by some defects like surface roughness and delamination are the main defects generated in composite materials. The aim of this experimental work is the studying of the machining quality of woven Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) using the HSM technology. Experiments were done using different machining parameters combinations to make opened holes in CFRP laminates. This study investigated the effect of cutting speed, orbital feed speed, hole diameter on the delamination defect and surface roughness responses generated in the drilled holes. The design of experimental tests was generated using the approach of Central Composite Design (CCD). The characterization of these responses was treated with the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that the surface roughness is highly affected by the orbital feed speed (F) with contribution of 22.45%. The delamination factor at entry and exit of holes is strongly influenced by the hole diameter D (25.97% and 57.43%) respectively. The developed model equations gave a good correlation between the empirical and predicted results. The optimization of the milling parameters was treated using desirability function to minimize the surface roughness (Ra) and the delamination factor simultaneously.

The paper is concerned with increasing sensitivity of eddy current nondestructive testing of most dangerous delamination in carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP). Increased sensitivity is achieved by separate registration and comparison of eddy current signals obtained from a set of stratifications of carbon fibers with the same orientation. The separation of eddy current signals is possible due to pronounced anisotropy of the electrical conductivity of the layers dominant in the direction of the fibers of the corresponding layer. Eddy-current signals are registered by eddy current probes with maximum sensitivity in a given angular direction. Prior to the scan eddy current signals of the probe are leveled on a defect-free area. The influence of the working gap on the difference between the eddy current signals of the probe is suppressed by normalizing it according to one of the signals. The analysis of the registered signals from delamination has been performed using an approximate calculation model. The reliability of the obtained results has been confirmed by comparison with experimental results and calculations using the finite element method.
