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.

The flash temperature of the cam-roller contacting surface for a marine diesel engine was analysed numerically. The elastohydrodynamic lubrication pressure and film thickness were adopted to get more accurate frictional coefficient, heat flux and temperature distribution. The maximum flash temperature was increased with both the increasing slip ratio of the contacting surfaces and increasing external load. This study tells that the temperature analysis is an indispensable procedure in designing elastohydrodynamic lubrication contacts on which the slip occurs.

This dissertation analyzes the running mechanism of flexible and thin tape above rotating head through the numerical simulation and the experiment. The scope of analysis is confined to the phenomena of two dimensional elasto hydrodynamic lubrication between the protruded bump on a rotating cylinder and the running tape. This model is based on the elastic deformation equation of plate and shell and Reynolds equation. Finite difference method is employed as a numerical technique to calculate (1) the distribution of pressure between the running tape and rotating bump and (2) the vertical deformation of elastic thin tape over he rotating bump under hydrodynamic pressure. In numerical analyses, the effects of bump size on flying characteristics of the tape were evaluated and examined considering the influence of tension and stiffness of tape.

The stresses in lubricants by external force lead to rise in temperature and drop in viscosty, and the performance of lubricants decrease by this phenomena. The processes of shear stress generation and relaxation are linear under light load condition but those are changed into nonlinearly over a certain limit of load and speed, and this phenomena influences to viscosty change. This study investigates dense fluid which carries property change for high shear rate by using molecular dynamics, and that result can be related to research a behavior of property change of lubricants under high speed and heavy load.

A kinetic theory analysis is used to study the ultra-thin gas flow field in gas bearings. 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 flows inside micro-channels of backward-facing step, forward-facing step, and slider bearings. 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 less computational effort.

For increasing the yield stress of ER fluids, the compressing ER electrode was developed and the compressing electrorheological (ER) behavior of anhydrous ER fluids in silicone oil of phosphorous ester cellulose powder was investigated. Under constant electric field, not only the current density but also the yield stress of anhydrous ER fluids were studied as varying the compressing length of compressing ER electrode. From the experimental results, the compressing of ER electrode had a large influence to the ER properties of anhydrous ER fluids. The current density was proportional to the compressing length of ER electrode under constant electric field and volume fraction also the compressing yield stress was proportional to the volume fraction of dispersed particles under constant electric field and compressing length. When the ER electrode was compressed with 150mm after charging the electric field, 4 kV, the yield stress of phosphoric ester cellulose ER fluids increased to thirteen times comparing with the yield stress measured at normal electrode.

대체에너지 기관으로서 요구되는 조건을 갖춘 스터링엔진의 이해를 돕기 위하여 기본원리, 개 발현황, 개발상 문제점 등의 기본사항을 소개하였다. 내연기관과는 달리 외연기관인 스터링엔 진은 작동유체가 밀폐공간 내에서 고. 저온 양 영역을 이동하면서 압력차를 발생시켜 일을 형성 하는 과정을 밟기 때문에 고온. 고압일수록 높은 출력이 예상되며, 전열성능과 작동저항면에서 수소나 헬륨과 같은 저분자량의 가스가 작동체로 채택되기 때문에 작동유체의 누기(leakage) 및 크랑크실의 냉각 윤활유의 작동공간으로의 누유 등은 스터링엔진의 출력 저하에 가장 큰 요인 으로 작용한다. 마찰 등 기계적 손실의 저감기술, 속도제어기술, 용도에 따른 엔진 형식 설계 기술, 구성부품 성능향상을 위한 요소기술 등의 개발이 중요한 과제가 되고 있으며, 이상 소개한 내용이 관심있는 많은 분들의 스터링엔진 연구나 이해에 도움이 될 수 있기를 바란다.

This paper deals with an experimental study on the f~iction torque characteristics of magnctic fluid seals for various oil temperatures, rotating speeds, and vacuum pressures. The friction torque of MFS was measured by high response torque meter. The experimental results show that, as the rotating speed increases, the fi'iction torque of MFS increases and as the oil temperature increases, the friction torque of MFS decreases. Also, the experimental results show that the friction torque of Model II is 1.73 ~ 2.56, 2.0 ~ 2.89, 2.0 - 3.25 times larger than those of Model I under the atmospheric pressure, vacuum pressure(10$^{-4}$ and 10$^{-6}$ torr), respectively.

This paper presents a method to investigate the characteristics of a hydrodynamic bearing of a HDD spindle motor due to elevated temperature considering the variation of the clearance as well as the lubricant viscosity. Iterative finite element analysis of the heat conduction and the thermal deformation is performed to determine the viscosity and clearance of a hydrodynamic bearing due to elevated temperature until the temperature of the bearing area converges. Proposed method is verified by comparing the calculated temperature with the measured one in elevated surrounding temperature as well as in room temperature. This research shows that elevated temperature changes the clearance as well as the lubricant viscosity of the hydrodynamic bearing of a HDD spindle motor. Once the viscosity and the clearance of a hydrodynamic bearing of a HDD spindle motor are determined, finite element analysis of the Reynolds equation is performed to investigate the static and dynamic characteristics of a hydrodynamic bearing of a HDB spindle motor due to elevated temperature. It also shows that the variation of clearance due to elevated temperature is another important design consideration to affect the static and dynamic characteristics of a hydrodynamic bearing of a HDD spindle motor
