대형 저속 2행정기관을 탑재한 선박에서 축계배치와 관련된 선미측 후부 메인엔진 베어링의 손상이 증가하는 경향이 있다. 메인엔진을 포함한 선체는 최적화로 인하여 변형하기 쉬운 경향에 있고, 고출력을 요구하는 추진 축계는 이것과 반대의 경향을 가지므로 축계 배치 변화에 대한 감도가 높아져서 메인엔진 베어링의 손상이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제에 대한 대책으로 메인엔진 베어링을 포함한 보다 정확한 배치계산을 할 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 축계배치계산 고정도화의 일환으로 메인엔진 베어링 수가 베어링 반력에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토한다.

연소 동안에 크랭크 축은 오일 필름을 통하여 연소압력이 실린더 블록으로 전달된다. 점화 전에 관성력에 의한 크랭크 축의 굽힘 변형은 크랭크 축으로부터 메인 베어링까지의 연소하중 전달에 큰 영향을 미친다. 메인 베어링에 베어링 보를 부착시키거나 크랭크 축의 굽힘 강성을 변화시켜 실린더 블록의 스커어트 진동을 감소시키는 효과를 얻었다. 크랭크 축의 비틂 진 동을 일으키는 회전력과 관성력 변동의 합력은 크랭크 저어널의 횡진동을 일으킨다. 크랭크 축의 횡 강제진동은 베어링 1에서 최대값이기 때문에 실린더 블록의 굽힘, 비듦 진동에 대하여 기진력이 된다. 실린더 블록의 진동 진폭은 관성력 변동의 주파수가 실린더 블록의 공진진 동수에 가까워지는 정도와 크랭크 축 비듦 진동의 진폭에 의존한다. 크랭크 풀리의 극관성 모우멘트와 크랭크 축 비듦 진동을 감소시키는데 효과를 준다.

동하중을 받는 엔진 베어링을 연구하기 위하여 1.5리터, 직렬 4 기통 가솔린 엔진 5개 메인 베어링 모두의 최소 유막 두께를 측정하고, 이론 계산을 수행하였다. 이론 계산은 무한 소폭으로 본 엔진 베어링에 대해 모빌리티 방법을 이용하였으며 유막두께 측정 방법으로는 TOTAL CAPACITANCE METHOD(TCM)을 사용하였다. TCM을 이용한 실험에서 실험의 정도를 높이기 위하여 새로운 베어링 틈새 설정 방법을 제시하였으며, 베어링 캐비테이션(Cavitation) 및 윤활유의 공기 혼입(Aeration)에 의한 시험오차를 해석하였다. 시험과 이론 계산의 결과를 비교한 결과, 정성적인 경향이 비교적 잘 일치하고 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 그러나 정정보로 가정된 이론 계산은 크랭크샤프트 진동 및 각 베어링이 받는 하중의 불균형으로 인한 영향을 예측하지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 엔진 운전중 베어링의 최대 전단율(Maximum Shear Rate)은 $10^7 S^{-1}$ 수준임을 확인하였다.

The aeroelastic stability analysis of composite bearingless rotors is investigated using a large deflection beam theory in hover. The bearingless rotor configuration consists of a single flexbeam with a wrap-around type torque tube and the pitch links located at the leading edge and trailing edge of the torque tube. The outboard main blade, flexbeam and torque tube are all assumed to be an elastic beam undergoing flap bending, lead-lag bending, elastic twist and axial deflections, which are discretized into beam finite elements. For the analysis of composite bearingless rotors, flexbeam is assumed to be a rectangular section made of laminate. Two-dimensional quasi-steady strip theory is used for aerodynamic computation. The finite element equations of motion for beams are obtained from Hamilton's principle. The p-k method is used to determine aeroelastic stability boundary. Numerical results are presented for selected bearingless rotor configurations based on the lay-up of laminae in the flexbeam and pitch links location. A systematic study is made to identify the importance of the stiffness coupling terms on aeroelastic stability for various fiber orientation and for different configuration.

This paper describes the influence on engine main bearing behavior of the oil film when the fuel is diluted on a diesel engine equipped with DPF system. Oil film pressure and the thickness is calculated in accordance to the fuel dilution. The calculation is based on the numerical analysis of the engine main bearing. As a result, the engine oil viscosity decreased as the fuel dilution increased. This led the increment of the maximum oil thickness pressure. Verification of the minimum oil film thickness settlement by the engine gas pressure and the fuel dilution was confirmed. Destruction possibility of the engine main bearing was foreseen when the engine speed was 2000 rpm with the fuel dilution 15% and the 5W40 engine oil.

In this study, for the crankshaft bearing design adapting discontinuous oil supply system, analyses were conducted to determine the lubrication characteristics such as oil flow rate and increase of oil temperature at main bearing and connecting rod bearing. Additionally, supplied oil pressure and temperature effects on the bearings were simulated to figure out lubrication characteristics on the bearings. Finally the effects of increasing the bearing width and clearance were introduced on the lubrication characteristics.

Main bearing cap is one of the essential structural elements in internal combustion engine. Main bearing cap guides and holds the crankshaft, withstanding the full combustion and inertia loads of the engine. A seamless design methodology using FEA has been proposed to produce a reliable design of main bearing cap. A Levy's thick cylinder model was applied to calculate the contact pressure between bearing shell and housing bore. A calculated contact pressure at housing bore is within the allowed limit comparing with that from bearing shell model. An adequate FEA model was suggested to obtain reliable solutions for the durability of main bearing cap. 3D global model consists of engine bulkhead, main bearing cap, and bolts. Sub-model consisting of cap and part of bolts is used to get detailed solution of main bearing cap. A very careful contact modeling practice is needed to resolve the convergence problems frequently encountering during combined geometric and material non-linear problems. A proposed methodology has been applied to the main bearing cap model successfully and obtained reliable stress results and fatigue safety factors.

In this study, the aeroelastic response and stability of bearingless rotors are investigated using a large deflection beam theory. The outboard main blade, flexbeam, and torque tube are all assumed to be an elastic beam undergoing arbitrary large displacements and rotations. The finite element equations of motion obtained from Hamilton's principle. Two-dimensional quasi-steady strip theory is used to evaluate aerodynamic forces. In hover, the modal approach method based on coupled rotating natural modes is used for the stability analysis. In forward flight, the nonlinear periodic blade steady response is obtained by integrating the full finite element equation in time through a coupled trim procedure with a vehicle trim. The results of the full finite element analysis using the large deflection beam theory are compared with those of a previously published modal analysis using the moderate deflection-type beam theory.

The connecting rod big-end bearing is one of the most heavily loaded components of the lubrication system of high-speed combustion engines. The supply oil flow has to pass to the main bearing and the rotating crankshaft before entering the connecting rod bearing. It is common knowledge that the centrifugal forces due to the crankshaft rotation influence the oil flow to connecting rod bearing through the oil supply bore, especially, when the oil supply system to the connecting rod bearing has a 180$^{\circ}$circumferential groove via a single drilling in the crankshaft. In this case, it should be confirmed that the groove oil pressure in the main bearing is sufficient to overcome these centrifugal forces. For the purpose, the dynamic oil pressure before entering oil supply bore to the connecting rod bearing was measured instead of averaged oil pressure in main gallery. Experimental test results show that the dynamic oil pressure in the oil groove was more useful than that of main gallery. And it was also found that the oil pressure fluctuation in the groove was sensitively affected by the reduction of the main bearing clearance.
