In contrast to the machineries using rolling element bearings, systems with journal bearings generally operate in large scale and under severe loading condition such as steam generator turbines and internal combustion engines. Failure of the bearings in these machineries can result in the system breakdown. To avoid the time consuming repair and considerable economic loss, the detection of incipient failure in journal bearings becomes very important. In this experimental approach, acoustic emission monitoring is applied to the detection of incipient failure caused by several types of abnormal operating condition most probable in the journal bearing systems. It has been known that the intervention of foreign materials, insufficient lubrication and misassembly etc. are principal factors to cause bearing failure and distress. The experiment was conducted under such designed conditions as hard particles in the lubrication layer, insufficient lubrication, and metallic contact in the simulated journal bearing system. The results showed that acoustic emission could be an effective tool to detect the incipient failure in journal bearings.

Composite structures have components and joints. Theses connections or joints can be potentially weak points in the structure. The failure mode of the composite bolted joint is designed as a bearing failure mode for structural safety. The load-displacement relation exhibits bearing failure mode shows a nonlinear behavior after the initial failure and progressive failure behavior. In order to accurately predict the failure behavior of composite bolted joints, this study modified the shear damage variable calculation process in the existing progressive failure analysis model. The results of the bearing stress-bearing strain of the composite bolted joint were predicted using the modified progressive failure analysis model, and the modified model was verified through comparison with the previous progressive analysis model.

반도체 소자나 디스플레이 패널 제조 공정에 가장 많이 사용되는 진공 펌프인 터보 분자 펌프는 오일을 사용하지 않고, 설치 방향이 자유로우며 넓은 작동 압력 영역을 가지고 있어서 고가임에도 불구하고 점점 더 사용 영역을 넓혀 가고 있다. 상하의 두 곳에 회전축을 지지하는 베어링이 필요한데, 기계식 금속 베어링을 채용하는 경우에는 반드시 윤활유를 공급해 주어야 하고, 고온, 부식성 또는 산화성 가스의 배기 시에는 퍼지 가스로 비활성인 질소나 알곤등을 이용하여 보호를 해주어야 한다. 반면, 자기 베어링을 채택한 모델은 윤활의 걱정에서 자유로울 수 있기 때문에 채용이 늘어나고 있다. 동일극의 반발력이나 반대극의 인상력을 이용한 구조를 갖게 되는데 갑작스러운 입구 쪽 압력의 증가 시에는 자석 끼리 부딪치는 일이 발생하고 이로 인해서 로터 모듈 전체에 큰 손상을 갖게 되므로 한 곳 정도에 비상용 터치 다운 베어링을 기계식으로 윤활제 없이 설치하기도 한다. 기본적으로 자기 베어링 방식은 로터 모듈의 부상과 제어를 위해서 3축 또는 5축 제어를 하게 되는데 여기에는 전자석의 전류를 미세하게 조정하여 피드백 하는 시스템을 활용하기 때문에 외부에서의 자기장이 일정값 이상 침투하게 되면 제어 회로의 기능에 문제를 일으키게 된다. 또한 축 방향에 수직인 자기장의 강도가 높아지면 고속으로 회전하는 금속 블레이드가 자속을 자르게 되므로 표면에 와전류가 발생하여 문제가 된다. 터보 분자 펌프는 회전자와 고정자 간격이 1 mm 이내로 작아서 약간의 진동이라도 발생하면 회전자와 고정자 간에 충돌이 일어나고 이는 곧 파손으로 이어진다. 그림 1에는 파손 원인 분석을 위한 회전자 모듈의 수치 해석용 모델의 일부를 나타내었고, 그림 2에는 실제로 외부 자기장에 의한 파손이 발생한 사례의 자기 베어링 모듈의 사진을 나타내었다. 본 발표에서는 외부 자기장의 형태에 따라 제어 자기장에 미치는 영향을 CFD-ACE+(ESI corp)를 활용하여 해석하였다.

The failure strengths and modes in carbon fiber reinforced polymeric composites, with two serial bolt-fastened composite joints, were investigated to evaluate the typical joint configurations of composite components. The parametric studies were performed experimentally at room temperature dry and elevated temperature wet, $82.2^{\circ}C$ on several different laminate configurations. Based on the experimental data presented, two basic load-displacements curves are observed. Each failure mode has the characteristic curve. It is showed that the bearing failure mode occurs in elevated temperature wet condition. It is analysed that the strength of bearing failure mode is not highly depending on the effective modulus of specimen. The failure strength at elevated temperature wet is decreased by the cause of interfacial deterioration between fiber and matrix with moisture absorption.

With the modern machinery towards the direction of high-speed development, the thermal issues of mechanical transmission system and its components is increasingly important. Ball bearing is one of the main parts in rotating machinery system, and is a more easily damaged part. In this paper, bearing thermal fault detection is investigated in details Using infrared thermal imaging technology to the operation state of the ball bearing, a preliminary thermal analysis, and the use of numerical simulation technology by finite element method(FEM) under thermal conditions of the bearing temperature field analysis, initially identified through these two technical analysis, bearing a temperature distribution in the normal state and failure state. It also shows the reliability of the infrared thermal imaging technology. with valuable suggestions for the future bearing fault detection.

베어링은 회전기계에서 가장 일반적인 구성요소로 베어링의 초기 결함 또는 퇴화현상이 사전에 발견되지 않으면 회전기계의 고장 또는 파손으로 엄청난 손실이 초래될 수 있다. 베어링의 초기 결함을 검출하기 위한 가장 보편적인 방법으로 베어링 진동신호의 특징적인 패턴을 검출하는 것이다.(중략)

This paper shows the failure(wear) phenomena of differential bearings in the transaxle of passenger cars and investigate their characteristics. It was found that the wear mechanism was mild abrasive wear caused by the presence of particles in the gear box. The sides of the outer raceway was more neared than center of it, so it is showed as if the crowning of outer raceway are increased. With close examination of the failed bearing, various countermeasures could be suggested.

To investigate and analyze the cause of the failure of the connecting rod bolt and the crank pin bearing bolt of the diesel engine of this study, the following results were obtained through site surveying, the investigation of literature referring to similar failures, testing and inspection of the fracture surface, and the experience of the researchers. The fractured crank pin bearing bolt of the diesel engine is estimated to be damaged later than the connecting rod bolt. From the shape of fracture surface, it is evident that the failed connecting rod bolt is fractured by fatigue failure due to abnormally repeated loads (e.g. loosening of the connecting bolt, etc.), and is not failed by brittle fractures due to the impact load. The surface of the U-nut on the fractured connecting rod bolt has been worsening due to the improper use of lubricant (agent for prevention of thread fixing) and no usage of separating the each connecting rod on each cylinder. Moreover, there is the possibility that those poor surface conditions of the fractured connecting rod bolt have affected the failure of the connecting rod bolt of the main engine. And it could be assumed that the mechanical characteristic and manufacturing process of the failed connecting rod bolt and crank pin bearing bolt, which were made by a domestic company, conform to the design requirements for those bolts.

This paper shows the failure(wear) phenomena of automotive transmission bearings and investigate their characteristics. It was found that the wear mechanism was mainly abrasive wear by the presence of particles in the gear box and the balls was weared more severely than the other tribological contacting parts. The wear of balls alter the bearing contact angle and load ratings, and finally it cause the bearing failure. With close examination of the failed bearing, various countermeasures could be suggested.
