인류가 지구상에 존재하기 이전에도 바다 속에는 오징어와 같이 자신의 힘만으로 분사 추진을 하여 움직이는 생물이 존재하였음에도 불구하고 인류는 이러한 반작용 원리를 이용한 항공용 가스터빈 엔진을 고안하는데 1900년 이상의 세월을 보내야 하였으며, 이 긴 세월 동안 많은 장치들이 고안되었다. 그러나, 실제로 이러한 원리를 사용한 현재와 같은 가스터빈 엔진의 개발은 1940년대 중반에야 가능하게 되었다. 이후 소형이면서 높은 추력을 발생시키기 위하여 많은 노력이 이루어져 왔으며, 이를 위하여 가스터빈 엔진의 주축 베어링, gearbox, seal 및 윤활 시스템 등은 더욱 큰 부담을 가질 수 밖에 없었다. 따라서, 이러한 어려움을 해결하고 보다 높은 추력을 발생시키는 가스터빈을 개발하는데 트라이볼로지의 역할이 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 가스터빈에서의 트라이볼로지의 적용 분야는 main-shift bearing, lubrication system, gearbox 및 seal등을 들 수 있으나, bearing과 lubrication을 중심으로 기술하고자 한다.

Engine lubrication system is generally affected by vehicle driving conditions; acceleration, braking deceleration, and cornering. The oil supply system such as oil pan, baffle plate, and oil pick-up pipe should be optimized to cope with severe driving conditions. The main purpose of this paper is to understand the effect of the engine tilting angle on the oil supply system using engine tilting test rig. For the purpose, the oil pressure fluctuation and oil aeration in the main gallery are measured at various engine tilting angles. In addition, the oil flow is visualized by using transparent oil pan to investigate the cause of the formation of oil aeration. The test results show there is a strong correlation between the main gallery oil pressure fluctuation and oil aeration. It is also found that the visualization technique is helpful to stabilize the oil supply system at severe driving conditions.

In the circumstance that high oil price state is continued over the world, the investment in crude oil development by oil major is a trend of increasing. Recently the number of delivered drill-ship for 5 years has been sharply increased all over the world and about twice than that of past 30 years. As addition to the increase of the drill-ship demand, the operation of drill-ships which is delivered recently is about 3,000 meters, ultra deep sea, on average and the work area is expending. Accordingly the drilling system including the size and length of pipe for drilling has been bigger and bigger and the power supply equipment for operation system also has large capacity. Unlike merchant vessel, high power and high voltage of diesel generators are required for drill-ship for which the demand for V-type 320 bore of diesel generator has increased. It is on the raised that the importance of lubrication oil cleaning for diesel generator on drill-ship which has longer time for construction, and also long term low load operation is unavoidable during commissioning of equipments. Recently it was reported that engine crankpin was damaged due to the hard contact caused by the abnormal wear down(Cam wear) on crankpin and bearing. The same pattern of wear down was found through the inspection on series vessels and the other vessel under commissioning. The purpose of this paper is to analyze of the wear mechanism based on the observation and theories and objective research from actual cases and to prepare the counter measures to avoid foreseeable damage when the lubricating oil is not properly cleaned.

A Parametric study based on a computer analysis of the lubrication system of a four-cylinder gasoline engine is illustrated. Through the parametric study, the effects of various aeration levels on the change of oil flow rate and pressure are investigated. Also, at high oil temperature and low engine speed, the effect of oil aeration level on oil flow characteristics in lubrication system is investigated. The illustrated results may give to designers the guide lines of oil aeration level for the safe design of engine lubrication systems in terms of minimum pressure at crank oil bore.

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.

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.

This paper presents results of the development of the turbo generator system with structure which is HSG(High Speed Generator) installed directly to gas-turbine engine. Turbo generator with a high speed motor-generator directly has many advantages aspects of weight, size, lubrication system and complexity of the system compared of conventional turbo generator system with a gear box. But because of direct high speed operation of the high speed generator, we have to need stable high speed motor driving algorithm for perfect engine ignition when engine start. Also we have to need the design of the Power conditioning unit(PCU) for converting high speed AC output power to conventional AC power or needed DC power.

현재 외부 가압 공기베어링이 사용되어지는 분야는 PCB 기판, 엔진의 연료분사노즐 등의 고속가공용 스핀들, 전자 기기, 광학 기기 등에 사용되는 초정밀 부품가공용 스핀들, 정밀 측정 기기, 의료 기기, 저온 팽창기등 상대운동을 하는 많은 분야에서 이용되고 있으며, 이들 분야의 고속화 및 고정밀화 추세에 따라 고속에서의 안정성과 높은 운전정밀도가 보장된 외부 가압 공기 베어링이 요구되고 있다. 정밀 스핀들 시스템에 공기베어링이 사용되는 이유는 윤활제인 공기의 압축성에 기인된 평균화효과로 인하여 어느 정도 형상오차가 존재하더라도 축의 회전 시 떨림 진폭이 흡수되어 높은 운전정밀도를 유지하며 운전이 가능하기 때문이다. 그러나, 공기의 압축성에 의한 평균화효과로 어느 정도의 떨림 진폭은 흡수되나 형상오차에 의한 떨림 진폭은 작은 크기라도 여전히 남아있게 된다. 따라서, 초정밀 가공 기기나 정밀 측정 기기 등 높은 운전정밀도가 요구되는 곳에 공기베어링이 사용될 경우에 있어서 형상오차는 운전정밀도에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자가 된다. 본 연구에서는 각각 두 개의 오비 가압 공기 저널 및 스러스트 베어링으로 구성된 스핀들 시스템에 대한 축과 베어링의 직각도 오차가 운전정밀도에 미치는 영향에 대해 해석하고 결과를 고찰하여 스핀들 시스템에 있어서 형상 공차에 대한 기초 설계자료를 제시하고자 한다.

The operating torque and tribological characteristics of the cam/tappet system in an I.C. engine have an important effect on engine efficiency. In this paper, we measured the torque of cam/tappet system with respect to the oil temperature and camshaft speed to characterize the tribological behavior. Also, accelerated test was performed to analyze the wear characteristics of cam/tappet interface. The torque of the cam/tappet system decreased with respect to camshaft speed and was not significantly affected by the oil temperature. The results of accelerated test showed that the running-in wear occurred during the tests and the center of the tappet was mainly damaged by the rolling and sliding friction.
