Tilting pad journal bearings(TPJBs) are widely used for high speed rotating machinery owing to their rotordynamic stability and thermal management feature. With increase in the rotating speed of such machinery, an increasingly important aspect of TPJB design is the prediction of their thermal behaviors. Researchers have conducted detailed investigations in the last two decades, which provided design tools for the TPJBs. Based on these previous studies, this paper presents a thermohydrodynamic(THD) analysis model for TPJBs. To calculate pressure distribution, we solve the generalized Reynolds equation and to predict the lubricant temperature, we solve the 3D energy equation. We employ the oil mixing theory to calculate pad inlet temperature; further, to consider heat conduction via the pad, we solve the heat conduction equation for the pads. We assume the shaft temperature as the averaged oil film temperature and apply natural convection boundary conditions to the pad side and back surfaces. To validate the analysis model, we compare the predicted pad temperatures with those from previous research. The results show good agreement with previous research. In addition, we conduct parametric studies on a TPJB which was used in a gas turbine simulator system. The predicted results show that film temperature largely depends on the rotating speed and oil supply condition.

This paper presents the thermal characteristics analysis of a high-speed motor-separated spindle system consisted of angular contact ball bearings and built-in motor with oil-jet lubrication. The spindle system is composed of the main spindle and sub-spindle which are mechanically connected by a flexible coupling. The spindles are supported by two front and rear bearings, and the built-in motor is located between the front and rear bearings of the sub-spindle. The thermal analysis model of spindle system is constructed by the finite element method, and the thermal characteristics in the design stage are estimated based on temperature distribution and heat flow under the various testing conditions related to material of bearing ball, spindle speed and coolant temperature.

Under the condition of variable density and specific heat, maximum pressure, maximum temperature, bearing load, friction and side leakage in high-speed journal bearing operation are examined within some degree of Journal misalignment. The results are compared with the calculation results under the conditions of constant density and specific heat, and variable density and constant specific heat. It is found that the condition of variable density and specific heat play important roles in determining friction and load of Journal bearing at high speed operation.

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis shows that film thickness is very flat in the contact area and pressure distribution is somehow similar to that of Hertzian contact pressure except the outlet region with pressure spike. These typical patterns of EHL film thickness and pressure are the cases under the steady contact conditions of applied loads and speeds. However, many engineering contacts are rather under the conditions of varying loads and contact speeds, and therefore the predictions for endurance life and performance of machine elements with steady EHL analysis are not suitable in many occasions. This study shows the differences in film thickness formation and pressure distribution between steady and transient contact conditions in several contact cases.

An approach is developed for parametric investigation of the influence of the surface roughness on thermohydrodynamic analysis with film conditions which systemically occur in journal bearings. A parametric investigation is performed for predicting the bearing behaviors such as pressure and temperature distributions in lubricating films between the stationary and moving surfaces determined by absorbed layers and interfaces on the statistical method for rough surface with Gaussian distribution. The layers expressing the effects of surface roughness are expressed as functions of the standard deviations (${\sigma}$) of each surface and surface orientation (j) to explain the flow patterns between both rough surfaces. The coupled effect of surface roughness and shear zone dependency on hydrodynamic pressure and temperature has been found by solving the present model in non-contact mode and contact mode, respectively.

세라믹은 금속에 비해서 밀도가 낮고, 내마멸성이 우수하고, 열팽창계수가 작고, 높은 온도범위에 걸쳐서 안정성과 경도를 유지함으로 기계구조용재료로서 유망시 되고 있다. 앞으로 세라믹부품에 대한 수요는 더욱 증가하리라고 예상하고 있으며, 세라믹의 응용이 시도되고 있는 부품은 더욱 다양화되어가고 있는 추세이다. 그러나, 세라믹재료에 관한 신뢰할만한 데이터베이스는 확립되지 못한 상태이고, 트라이보시스템에 관한 수명예측과 설계를 위한 기초 자료도 확립하지 못한 상태에 있다. 세라믹재료에 관한 수명예측과 설계를 위해서는 세라믹재료의 트라이보시스템(tribosystem)에서의 마멸기구의 규명과 마멸율을 평가할 수 있는 마멸식을 구하는 것이 가장 기본적인 과제라 할 수 잇다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최신 기법에 의해서 제조된 HIP제 질화규소와 지르코니아를 실험재료로 하여 무윤활하에서의 미끄럼 마찰$\cdot$마멸실험을 수행하여 마찰$\cdot$마멸특성을 규명하고, SEM을 이용한 마멸면의 미시적 관찰을 통해서 세라믹의 마멸기구를 조사하여 세라믹마멸기구의 마멸모델을 제히하고자 한다. 제시된 마멸모델에 파괴역학을 도입하여 이론해석과 고찰을 수행하여 보다 실용적인 세라믹의 마멸율을 평가할 수 있는 새료운 무차원파라메타를 제안하고자 한다.

The conventional analysis for the numerical computation of fluid film thickness with elastic deformation of contact region. is performed by Newton-Rephson method for its 18st convergence characteristics. However, both high load and relatively low sliding velocity frequently make it impossible for Newton-Rahpson method to get both converged and stable solutions. In particular, this method cannot provide converged Solution under the condition of high load above 1.0 GPa which frequently occurs in line contact of EHL problem. Multigird multi-level method for the solver of non-linear partial differential equation including solid deformation is preferred to Newton-Rshpson method for better convergence and stability and is applied to line contact EHL behavior in this study.
