The stiffness of a bushing in a suspension is extremely important for the overall performance of the suspension system. A new measurement system including the flexible jig was developed to measure the multi-directional stiffness of bushings. To overcome the disadvantage of building each individual jig for each type and size of a bushing, we designed the flexible jig which can accommodate numerous bushings of similar shapes and sizes. Upon using the novel design of the flexible jig in the industry, we could successfully measure the torsional and conical stiffness of many bushings and apply the data for the prediction and evaluation of the performance of a suspension system, which would assist designing the optimal suspension system.

부싱은 지진에 취약한 전기설비 중의 하나이며, 이들 부싱은 특히 다른 전기기기 또는 철골 구조체에 설치되어 기기 또는 구조체의 지진증폭현상에 의한 증가된 지진가속도를 받게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 철골 구조체에 설치된 부싱을 대상으로 지진증폭현상을 규명하고, 이를 고려한 철골 구조체와 부싱의 내진성능을 평가하였다.

In this paper, the amplitude and frequency dependent dynamic characteristics of the equivalent stiffness of a rubber bushing are investigated. A new mathematical model is proposed to explain the large deformation and size effect of a rubber bushing. The proposed model consists of elastic, viscous, and frictional stress components and the equivalent strain. The proposed model is verified using experimental results. The comparison shows that the proposed model can accurately predict the equivalent stiffness values of a rubber bushing under various magnitudes and frequencies. The developed model could be used to predict the dynamic equivalent stiffness of a rubber bushing in automotive engineering.

A bushing is a device used in automotive suspension systems to reduce the load transmitted from the wheel to the frame of the vehicle. A bushing is a hollow cylinder, which is bonded to a solid steel shaft at its inner surface and a steel sleeve at its outer surface. The relation between the force applied to the shaft and the relative deformation of a bushing is nonlinear and exhibits features of viscoelasticity. Since a force-displacement relation for bushings is important for multibody dynamics numerical simulations, the relation is expressed in terms of a force relaxation function and a method of determination by experiments on bushings has been developed. For the nonlinear viscoelastic axial response, Pipkin-Rogers model, the direct relation of force and displacement, has been derived from experiment. It is shown that the predictions by the proposed force-displacement relation are in very good agreement with the experimental results.

The power supply system is one of the most important infrafacilities which should maintain their inherent function during and after earthquakes. This study was performed to analyze dynamic characteristics and seismic performance of Korean typical 154kV transformer porcelain bushing. For the purpose of this study, actual 154kV porcelain bushings were selected and tested on the shaking table. The vibration tests consist of modal identification tests, seismic performance tests, and fragility tests. The sine sweep waves, artificial earthquake waves, and continuous resonant sine waves were used as shaking table motions. This paper describes the test specimens, shaking facilities, and test methods. Natural frequencies and damping ratios of the bushing have been evaluated from the experimental data. The failure mode and the performance level of the Korean transformer bushing have been first identified in this study.

A bushing is a device used in automotive suspension systems to reduce the load transmitted from the wheel to the frame of the vehicle. A bushing is a hollow cylinder, which is bonded to a solid steel shaft at its inner surface and a steel sleeve at its outer surface. The relation between the force and moment applied to the shaft and the relative deformation and rotational angle of a bushing exhibits features of viscoelasticity. Since a moment-rotational angle relation for a bushing is important for multibody dynamics numerical simulations, the simple relation between the moment and rotational angle has been derived from experiment. It is shown that the predictions by the proposed moment-rotational angle relation are in very good agreement with the experimental results.

A rubber bushing connects the components of the vehicle each other and reduce the vibration transmitted to the chassis frame. A rubber bushing has the nonlinear characteristics for both the amplitude and the frequency and represents the hysteretic responses under the periodic excitation. In this paper, one-axis durability test is performed to describe the mechanical behavior of typical vehicle elastomeric components. The results of the tests are used to develop m empirical bushing model with an artificial neural network. The back propagation algerian is used to obtain the weighting factor of the neural network. A numerical example is carried out to verify the developed bushing model and the vehicle simulation is performed to show the fidelity of proposed model.

본 사고분석을 통해 154 kV 절연부싱에서의 폭발사고에 대한 원인을 규명하였다. 결과적으로, 절연부싱의 사양은 국제표준에 적합하였다. 사고당일 기록된 자료에 의하면 R상과 S상에서 거의 동시에 지락사고가 발생하였으며, 지락지속시간은 약 75 ms로써 사고의 영향을 준 시간은 약 67 ms인 것으로 나타났다. R상은 아크에 의한 탄화 흔적, S상은 아크에 의한 탄화흔적과 외부열에 의한 탄화흔적, T상은 외부열에 의한 탄화흔적, 용융흔적은 R상과 S상의 케이블접속부와 플랜지에서 각각 발생하였다. S상의 절연부싱을 이용하여 탄화패턴 중 아크에 의한 것과 일반 열에 의한 것을 분류하여 연면방전이 발생한 것을 입증하였다. 사고추정 시나리오는 현장조사과정에서 나타난 현상과 목격자 진술, 사고원인 분석자료 등을 토대로 하여 작성되었다. 따라서 사고추정을 통해 분석된 자료는 아크생성단계, 열폭주 단계, 폭발단계, 화재단계로 구성하였다. 사고원인 가능성은 사고의 원인, 형태, 영향을 통해 나타난 연결고리를 검토하여 가능성이 낮은 부분을 배제하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 절연부싱의 사고원인은 표면의 오염물질 부착 가능성이 가장 높았다. 이를 근거로 하여 제조, 시공, 관리적 측면에서의 방지대책을 고려하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 38kV급 VCB의 외함에 체결된 부싱의 부분방전 발생 문제를 해결하기 위하여 부싱의 형상에 따른 부분방전 현상을 분석하였다. 부싱에 발생하는 부분방전의 패턴을 분석한 결과 도체나 외함 끝단 등 날카로운 부위에서 발생할 수 있는 코로나 방전 형태로 나타났다. 이를 해결하기 위해 도체와 쉴드링의 형상을 변수로 두고 실험을 진행하였으며 시작품 제작 전 비용과 시간을 최소화하기 위해 Maxwell 2D 프로그램으로 전계해석을 선진행한 뒤 설계에 반영하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과 쉴드링의 크기나 형상보다는 고전압부와의 거리가 부분방전의 크기에 더 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 도체의 두께를 변화시켰을 때의 부분방전 및 전계집중 변화폭이 가장 컸다.
