Data-driven method for fault diagnostics system often use machine learning technique. To use such technique proper signal processing should be implemented such as time synchronous averaging (TSA) for ball bearing systems. However, for journal bearing diagnostics systems not much has been researched, and yet a proper signal processing method has not been studied. Therefore, in this research an optimal datum unit for a reliable journal bearing diagnostics system along with angular resampling process is being suggested. Before extracting time and frequency domain features, angular resampling is applied to each cycle of vibration data. As to preserve the characteristics of vibration signal, averaging method is replaced by finding the optimal datum unit which strengthens statistical characteristics of vibration signal. Then 20 features were extracted for various cases, and those features are being evaluated by two criteria, separability and classification accuracy.

Vibration signal has been widely utilized in the diagnostics of rotating mechanical system. Diagnostics systems in rotating machinery are depends on the vibration data which are acquired from the system. However, the characteristics of acquired data can be vary according to the position of anomaly installed or the position of data acquired. In this research, the coordinate transform of journal bearing vibration signal was proposed to overcome the limitation mentioned above. Journal bearing systems are equipped two gap sensors with ninety degree angles, and it can enable to generate coordinate transformed signals in arbitrary angle domain. More abundant information for each normal or anomaly conditions are obtained from coordinate transformation than only the data of the existing measuring position, then we have developed a reliable and robust diagnosis algorithm for journal bearing system.

Many commercial high speed and lightly loaded rotating machineries incorporate floating ring bearings (FRBs) owing to their low cost and reduced power losses. Many researchers have developed various analytical models to predict the performance and the stability of those rotor-bearing systems with FRBs. However, most of the models failed to predict stability of the rotor-bearing systems with FRBs. FRBs comprise two fluid films in series and the ratio of floating ring speed to journal speed reflects the equilibrium state of the two fluid films. Therefore the speed ratio is one of the main concerns in the analysis of FRBs. This paper provides the experimental results of the speed ratio which enables one to verify of the analysis model for FRBs.

This article provides the systematic design methodology for a tilting pad journal bearing. First the dynamic factors for the bearing are selected with the critical speed analysis. The pad bearing is then designed to have its best mechanical efficiency by simulations with changing of the number of pad and the lubricant flow rate with meeting the design specifications such as metal temperature, clearance and so on. And the simulation results are reviewed to compare with an experimental test. Finally the stability of rotor with the designed bearing is investigated. This methodology is successfully applied to the rotor for 1.2MW turbo-blower.

This paper presents the artificial life algorithm which is remarkable in the area of engineering for optimum design. As artificial life organisms have a sensing system, they can find the resource which they want to find and metabolize it. And the characteristics of artificial life are emergence and dynamical interacting with environment. In other words, the micro interaction with each other in the artificial life's group results in emergent colonization in the whole system. In this paper, therefore, artificial life algorithm by using above characteristics is employed into functions optimization. The effectiveness of this proposed algorithm is verified through the numerical test of single and multi objective functions. The numerical tests also show that the proposed algorithm is superior to genetic algorithm and immune algorithm for the Multi-peak function. And artificial life algorithm is also applied to optimum design of high-speed, short journal bearings and verified through the numerical test.

This paper proposes the Pareto artificial life algorithm for a multi-objective function optimization problem. The artificial life algorithm for a single objective function optimization problem is improved through incorporating the new method to estimate the fitness value fur a solution and the Pareto list to memorize and to improve the Pareto optimal set. The proposed algorithm is applied to the optimum design of a Journal bearing which has two objective functions. The Pareto front and the optimal solution set for the application are reported to present the possible solutions to a decision maker or a designer.

회전체 진동은 주로 밸런싱에 의해 줄일수 있지만 위험속도에서 나타나는 회전체 진동은 종종 피할 수 없다. 전자기 베어링은 이러한 회전체 진동을 능동적으로 제어하는 방법으로써 사용된다. 비접촉으로 회전체에 힘을 작용하는 동흡진기(dynamic vibration absorber)는 기존의 것에 비해 새로운 것을 필요로 하지 않는 아주 간단한 방법이다. 영구자석으로 구성된 자석 댐퍼는 비접 촉동흡진기의 일종이지만 영구자석만으로는 적절한 감쇠 성능을 만족시킬 수 없다. 따라서 영 구자석과 전자석을 동시에 사용하는 하이브리드 자석이 넓은 운전영역에서 좋은 진동제어 성능을 자지기 때문에 유용하다. 전력공급의 편리성을 위해서 하이브리드 자석을 합진기쪽에 설치하고 여러 개의 편으로 된 영구자석은 회전체의 주위에 부착하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 수직 회전 체(vertical rotor)의 진동을 제어하기 위해서 전자기력을 이용하는 하이브리드 관성 댐퍼를 개 발하는 것이다. 지금까지 전자석을 이용한 진동제어는 여러 저자에 의해 연구되어 왔으며 자기 베어링은 회전체의 진동을 제어하기 위한 전형적인 예이다. 그러나 회전체에 능동관성 댐퍼를 직접 적용한 예는 없었다. 이동흡진기는 전자석의 반발력(repulsive force)을 이용하고 흡진기의 운동에 의해 에너지가 감쇠된다. 반면에 자기 베어링에서는 전자석의 흡인력(attractive force)을 이용한다.

In this paper, the effect of interconnected boundary between journal and thrust bearings on the performance of self-acting air-lubricated bearings is investigated. When journal and thrust bearings have common boundary, conventional boundary condition which assumes that the boundary pressure is equal to atmosphere is no more valid. Instead, new boundary condition by mass conservation at interconnected boundary is needed. To do this, a duct model satisfying mass conservation at interconnected boundary is developed. Using this model, pressure distribution at interconnected boundary is numerically analyzed with changing the volume of interconnecting part. As a result, it is shown that load capacity of thrust bearing can be greatly increased when journal and thrust have a common boundary.

Turbocharger in the application to a diesel engine was widely used in automobile industries for the improvement of engine performance. To comply with stringent emission standards, ball bearing turbocharger has been developed by applying new emission reduction technology. Up to date turbocharger has been proved as an essential part of diesel engines by demonstrating its improved engine performance, fuel efficiency and reduced emission as well. In this research, the performance of the ball bearing turbocharger was compared by the conventional journal bearing type turbocharger. The results shows that ball baring turbocharger was proved to be 10~13% higher fuel efficiency and 30% less average emission than journal bearing turbocharger.
