This paper analyzes the running mechanism of flexible and thin foil above rotating protrusion through a numerical simulation. The scope of analysis is confined to the phenomena of elastohy-drodynamic lubrication between the stationary and rotary drums with a running protrusion and thin foil. This mathematical model is based on the modified Reynolds equation and the equation of plate, considering the geometry of protrusion, running direction of protrusion, and the effect of geometric nonlinearity. Finite element method is adopted as a numerical simulation technique to solve the avobe coupled nonlinear equations. In numerical analysis, the effects of the scanning angle in Reynolds equation and the nonlinear term in plate equation are evaluated. Furthermore, the simulation is applied to the situation that thin foil is located in the entire drums (stationary and rotary drums).

It is important to understand the friction characteristics between piston-ring assembly and cylinder wall for the friction loss reduction as well as the solution of problem such as scuffing wear and oil consumption. A new system was developed for the piston-ring assembly friction force measurement. This system was applied to the friction force measurement to find its functional relationship with variables such as engine speed, oil viscosity, and engine load. The friction mean effective pressure(fmep) was found to have a linear relationship with$(\vpsilon{U})^{0.42}$ under motering and with$(\vpsilon{U})^{0.45}$ under firing operations, where $\vpsilon$ is the kinematic oil viscosity and U is mean piston speed.

A kinetic theory analysis is used to study the ultra-thin gas flow field in a gas slider bering, The Boltzmann equation simplified by a collision model is solved by means of a finite difference approximation with the discrete ordinate method. Calculations are made for a flow in a micro-channel between an inclined slider and a moving disk drive platter. The results are compared well with those from the DSMC method. The present method does not suffer from statistical noise which is common in particle based methods and requires much less computational effort.

This paper presents analysis of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) of ball bearings, in which surface roughness is considered. A lot of time is required to obtain a solution in the case of EHL analysis where surface roughness is considered, because the analysis requires a variety of analytic nodes. To save time, we use the full approximation scheme (FAS) among multilevel methods. We analyze the results of EHL and contact analyses in terms of pressure. We also compare the results for smooth and rough surfaces with respect to film thickness. We confirm that the film pressure decreases as compared to contact pressure because of the presence of lubricants between the ball and the raceway. Furthermore, in the case when surface roughness is considered, the film pressure increases because of contact asperities. Therefore, surface roughness should be considered when designing ball bearings.

Hydraulic vane pumps are widely used in various hydraulic systems because of its compactness and light weight. It is well known that the vanes and cam ring are separated by very thin liquid films which result in the EHL state. Contrary to the case of cylindrical roller bearings, the inlet and side boundary pressures are much higher than the atmospheric pressure. In this paper, a numerical solution of the EHL of finite line contacts between the cam ring and vane tip with profiled ends is presented. Using a finite difference method with non-uniform grids and the Newton-Raphson method, converged solutions are obtained for moderate load and material parameters. The EHL pressure distribution and film shape are considerably affected by pump delivery pressure and the side boundary condition applied. Both the maximum pressure and the minimum film thickness always occurred near the edge regions. The present results can be used in the design of optimum vane profile in hydraulic vane pump.

This study has conducted numerical analysis for lubrication system of transmission for commercial vehicle. The lubrication oil system in transmission can be applied to a large scale commercial vehicle which is over 15tons. The flow rate of lubricating oil has been obtained for each of branch port from the lubrication pipe. The results from numerical simulation are mainly suggested for the mass flow rate of lubrication oil in the rotating main shaft of transmission system. It has been found that the mass flow rate from oil hole increased with an rotating rate of main shaft. The flow characteristic from oil hole has been presented for the lubricating system in the manual transmission.

This paper presents a numerical study on the thermal characteristics of a milling process of titanium alloy with nanofluid minimum-quantity lubrication (MQL). The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach is introduced for establishing the numerical model for the nanofluid MQL milling process, and estimated temperatures for pure MQL and for nanofluid MQL using both hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and nanodiamond particles are compared with the temperatures measured by thermocouples in the titanium alloy workpiece. The estimated workpiece temperatures are similar to experimental ones, and the model is validated.

This paper describes the variation of lubricant's temperature effects on elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The Newton-Raphson technique was used to solve the simultaneous system of Reynolds and elasticity equations. To show effects of lubricant's temperature, average temperature across the oil film was calculated using the energy equation. Pressure distribution, film shape, and temperature distribution were obtained for fully flooded conjunctions, and various dimensionless speed parameters while load and material parameters were held constant. Minimum film thickness were obtained for various material properties while load and velocity were held constant. It is drawn that the thermal effects have a strong influence on a minimum film thickness under high rolling velocity and slip ratio.

본 연구에서는 베어링 하우징의 탄성 변형을 고려한 커넥팅 로드 베어링의 탄성 유체 윤활 해석을 통해 축 중심의 궤적, 최소 유막 두께 변화, 최대 유막 압력 변화를 예측하였다. 베어링 하우징의 탄성 변형을 고려한 해석 결과 강체 해석 결과보다 축의 편심율과 최소 유막 두께는 크게, 최대 유막 압력은 낮게 예측되었다. 또 축의 회전 속도가 증가할수록, 실린더 압력이 증가할수록 최소 유막 두께는 감소하였다.

Because the journal and bearing surface are fully separated by the oil film during the normal operation, fluid film bearings operating in the hydrodynamic lubrication region are expected to have an infinite life. However, there are many parameters that lead to interfere with the normal operation of the bearing and lead to its failure. In this paper, both the causes and countermeasures of the bearing failure are described. Also, the characteristics of wiped bearing surface are investigated through mechanical and chemical test.
