単軸炭素繊維強化プラスチック(CFRP)シートの熱緩和軸と熱拡散率をオフセット周期レーザー加熱法で測定し、熱緩和軸と繊維配向の関係を厚さの異なるCFRPシート試験片を用いて実験的に検討した。厚みが薄くなるにつれて、熱緩和軸の配向が面内方向に広がることを明らかにした。可変周波数法及び可変変位法を用いて、CFRP試験片の面外方向及び面内方向の熱拡散率を測定した。面外方向について、炭素繊維方向とほぼ一致した熱拡散率が得られた一方、面内方向は予想外の値を示した。オフセット周期加熱法による熱拡散率測定の結果、繊維の角度による熱的容易軸を考慮した熱拡散率は面内方向の測定とは異なる特性を示すことがわかった。

Thermal easy axis and thermal diffusivity of uniaxial carbon fiber-reinforced plastic sheets were determined by a offset periodic laser heating method, and investigated relationship between the thermal easy axis and fiber orientation with different thickness of CFRP sheet specimen, experimentally. It was clarified that the orientation of the thermal easy axis spreads in the in-plane direction with the sheet thickness deceases. Then, thermal diffusivity of CFRP specimens in the out-of-plane and in-plane direction were measured by two method: a variable-frequency method and a variable-displacement method, respectively. In the results of the out-of-plane directions, thermal diffusivity almost consistent with the carbon fiber direction were obtained. In contrast, the in-plane directions of those were exhibited unexpected value. Moreover, thermal diffusivity determination by offset periodic heating method was carried out. Finally, it is found that the thermal diffusivity considering the thermal easy axis with fiber angle was different characteristics from the in-plane direction measurement.
