Contamination of soil due to an oil spill influences its subsequent behavior. An investigation was conducted to study the effect of oil viscosity on compaction characteristics, coefficient of permeability, and shear strength. Water permeability was also determined by using Kerosene, Engine oil, and Crude-oil as contaminants. The test results indicate that the compaction characteristics are influenced by oil contamination. Direct shear test was conducted to investigate the effect of oil in the pore space in sandy ground. angle of internal friction of sand (based on total stress condition) decreases due to presence of oil within the pore spaces in sand.

Pin-to-disc wear testing experiments were conducted to investigate the wear characteristics of commercial oil (5W-40) with nano-diamond particles. The upper specimen was a SUJ-2 high-carbon chromium steel ball with a diameter of 4 mm, and the lower specimen was made of the Al-6061 alloy. The applied load was 5 N, and the sliding speed was 0.25 m/s. The wear tests were conducted at a sliding distance of 500 m. The friction coefficients and wear rates of the Al-6061 specimens were tested using commercial oil with different nano-diamond concentrations ranging from 0 to 0.02 wt.%. The addition of nano-diamond particles to commercial oil reduced both the wear rate and coefficient of friction of the Al-6061 alloy. The use of nano-diamond particles as a solid additive in oil lubricants was found to improve the tribological behavior of the Al-6061 alloy. For the Al-6061 alloy, the optimal concentration was found to be 0.005 wt.% in view of the friction coefficient and wear rate. Further investigation is needed to determine the optimal concentration of nano-diamond particles for various loadings, sliding speeds, oil temperatures, and sliding distances.

Recently, Stirling engines are emerging as a key device for power conversion of renewable energy or waste energy. This study develops a LTDSE(Low Temperature Differential Stirling Engine) using a water spray for higher heat transfer and performs load performance tests for various flow rates and temperatures of hot water spray for variable engine loads emulated by a mechanical friction device. Internal temperature and pressure, working frequency and inlet and outlet temperature of the supply water are measured. As a result, the increases in flow rate and temperature of hot water respectively enhance the power output, efficiency and the working frequency, while the increasing engine load leads to decreases in working frequency but increases in the pressure amplitude. Eventually, it is revealed there exists a maximum shaft power of the test engine.

The operating characteristics of a main oxidizer shut-off valve have been examined by life-cycle tests in which the valve operates as many times as is required at room and cryogenic temperatures. It is shown that there is no significant change of the operating characteristics in the course of the life-cycle tests. The critical pressures and principal forces, which represent the operating characteristics, differ at each operating time by less than about 3%. These qualified operating characteristics of the valve are expected to play an indispensible role in the stable startup and shutdown of a liquid rocket engine.

2018 년 평창 동계올림픽부터 우리나라 사람들이 컬링이라는 종목에 큰 관심을 갖기 시작하였다. 하지만 이 종목을 직접 체험하거나 경기를 보기 위해서는 빙판이 있어야 하는 특수성과 비싼 장비, 찾아보기 힘든 경기장 등 여러 열악한 조건들 때문에 결국 올림픽 시즌에만 반짝 관심을 가졌다가 시들어버렸다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 우리는 Unity 라는 게임 엔진을 사용하여 사람들이 쉽게 접할 수 있는 컬링 게임을 제작하였다. 실제 컬링을 게임으로 만들기 위해 컬링에 필요한 도구들을 이미지로 제작하여 Unity 내부에서 저장 후 오브젝트에 입력하였고 물리 법칙을 구현하기 위해 Unity 상에서 방향, 세기, 속도, 충돌들을 프로그래밍하였으며 대한컬링연맹에 나와있는 컬링 경기 규칙서를 활용하여 게임에 적용하였다. 또한 컬링의 진행이 현실적인 운동과 비슷하게 하기 위하여 스크립트 안의 충돌 및 마찰 관련 계수를 조절하였고 이를 이용하여 반복한 결과값들을 수치화 하여 그래프로 작성해보았다. 추가적으로 컬링 게임의 점수판과 카메라 시점 등을 통해서 게임 사용자가 게임 진행에 있어서 도움이 되는 부분을 구현하였고 현실성을 위하여 Arduino 를 이용한 게임 패드를 제작하여 직접 게임하는 듯한 느낌을 들도록 하였다. 최종적으로 게임을 이용하여 컬링에 대한 이해도가 증가하고 사람들이 컬링이라는 비인기 종목에 한 걸음 더 접근할 수 있게 되고, 스포츠발전에 조금이나마 기여할 수 있게 될 것이다.

This paper is a purpose to study the failure example for heavy-duty vehicle fire. The first example, the researcher found the engine over-heating phenomenon causing a coolant leakage by the sealing poor of head-gasket because of D-ring part deformation contacting with cylinder liner top-part and cylinder head. He certified a fire breakout by short transferred to surrounding wiring of air-cleaner. The second example, a brake lining by return fault of break operating S cam causing with much wear of a rear 4 wheel brake lining repeatably was worn by friction. In the long run, it became the cause of fire. The third example, the researcher knew the fire cause was came about the short of wire by overload of tilting motor when the driver tilted up the cap to inspect a engine. Therefore, a heavy-duty fire must minimize the fire occurrence by thorough controlling.

Recently, the electric vehicle market is gradually growing due to strengthened environmental regulations and high oil prices. also, in internal combustion engine vehicles, the sensitivity of Buzz, Squeak, Rattle (BSR) noise is increasing as engine Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH)-related noise is reduced and technology for shielding noise coming from outside is developed. In this study, the stick-slip noise that occurs in Panoramic Curved Display (PCD) of automobile was analyzed for the correlation between the surface energy of polymer plastic and the polar component. For polar polymer materials, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and PolyCarbonate-Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PC-ABS), compound materials were fabricated and evaluated. As a result, when the polar component of the polymer plastic was 3.86 mN/m or higher, stick-slip motion occurred, and as the absolute transition slope increased in the friction behavior over time, the possibility of stick-slip noise increased and the value of the friction coefficient The greater the difference, the greater the strength of the stick-slip noise.

As the additives of engine oil, Mo-DTP and Zn-DTP were studied by experimental works. These additives were added to the engine oil with various ratios, which was an attempt to find out the best ratio at which the wear and friction can be reduced effectively; Mo-DTP is belived to be able to decrease the frictioh of the sliding metal, while Zn-DTP is known as a very stable additive for oxidation at high temperature in addition to the good antiwear property. This study showed that the optimum addition ratio of Mo-DTP and Zn-DTP is 3:2. This oil made it possible to slide steel with minimum wear and low friction over various lovels of load at moderate temperature. But as the oil temperature increased, the wear slid with Mo-DTP oil was increased more. The reason of this result was that Mo-DTP deteriorated the property of oil at high temperature by the higher oxidation and viscosity of Mo-DTP oil than that of Zn-DTP oil.

The engine bearing transmits the powers from cylinder to crankshaft with small clearance between con-rod and crankpin. The minimum oil film thickness is a significant parameter in the operation of bearing. The contact pressure of bearing should be considered for the reason that elastic deformation of bearing be caused by contact pressure of bearing. There are important factors which are maintaining of minimum oil film thickness expecting of the length of maximum and minimum oil film thickness with changing of the loads to keep running normally. Furthermore, this study is very crucial to develop the design of engine bearing and crankshaft system.

Engine oil of the vehicle is very important to reduce friction and wear of the moving parts as long as possible without deterioration. As the technique of engine design and manufacturing improves, the performance of engine was increased greatly with the improvement of the quality of engine oil. All the additives and formulations skill of engine oil produced in our country are imported from foreign country. So it is necessary to study the basic knowledge of the mechanism of friction and wear of engine oil for the development of our own formula and additives. From this research, the basic mechanism of tribology and the change of oil properties were studied with a home made oil and two foreign oils by bench and engine test and laboratory works.
