This study experimentally identifies the effects of end shape, clearance, total damper length, journal eccentricity ratio, oil supply pressure, and oil flow rate on the damping coefficient of a squeeze film damper (SFD) with piston ring seal ends and a central groove. The SFD is composed of a lubricating fluid flowing between the outer race of a rolling element bearing and cartridge, along with an anti-rotation pin to prevent the rotation of the outer race. The device provides additional viscous damping to a rotating system. Additionally, piston ring seals attached at both ends of the damper increase the damping coefficient of the rotating system by reducing oil leakage. Because these different design conditions affect the damping coefficient of an SFD, we perform experiments including different conditions. Tests show that the damping coefficient increases significantly in the SFD with piston ring seal ends compared with the SFD with open ends. The damping coefficient also increases with increasing total damper length and journal eccentricity ratio, and decreases with increasing clearance. Additionally, in contrast to the trend observed for the SFD with open ends, the damping coefficient for the SFD with piston ring seal ends increases with increasing supply pressure and flow rate as the frequency decreases but shows consistent results as the frequency increases.

대부분의 철강산업 기계 등에 설치되어 사용되는 선회베어링은 교체를 위한 정확한 정비계획이 필요하기 때문에 저속회전체의 선회베어링에 대한 진동 상태감시가 매우 중요하게 되었다. 지금까지 음향방출(AE)법이 저속베어링의 상태감시에 가장 많이 사용되는 기술이고 몇몇의 경우는 진동을 사용한다. 음향방출을 사용하는 일반적인 이유는 저속에서 구름요소와 결함위치 사이의 충격에 의하여 발생되는 신호가 약하고 때때로 노이즈나 다른 간섭 주파수에 결함신호가 묻혀 검출이 어렵기 때문이다. 따라서 쉽게 특정 결함에 대한 결함주파수의 동정을 위하여 몇몇 연구자들은 충격에너지를 증가시키기 위하여 인위적으로 미리 정해진 길이, 넓이와 깊이의 결함을 베어링의 내, 외부 레이스에 인가하기도 한다. 이 논문에서는 15 rpm에서 운전하는 저속 선회베어링의 진동신호에 EMD와 EEMD를 적용하였고 논문에서 사용한 진동결함 신호는 국내 산업체에서 공급받은 것이다. 이 논문에서는 베어링결함 주파수 동정을 위하여 EEMD를 사용하여 결함신호의 FFT처리 결과를 입증하고 설명하였다.

To investigate the effect of ultrasonic nano-crystalline surface modification (UNSM) treatment on rolling contact fatigue and residual stress properties of bearing steels, this paper carried out a rolling contact fatigue test, measured residual stress and retained austenite, performed a wear test, observed microstructure, measured micro hardness, and analyzed surface topology. After the UNSM treatment, it was found that the surface became minute by over $100{\mu}m$. The micro surface hardness was changed from Hv730~740 of base material to Hv850~880 with about 20% improvement, and hardening depth was about 1.3 mm. The compressive residual stress was measured as high as -700~-900 MPa, and the quantity of retained austenite was reduced to 27% from 34%. The polymet RCF-6 ball type rolling contact fatigue test showed over 4 times longer fatigue lifetime after the UNSM treatment under 551 kgf load and 8,000 rpm. In addition, this paper observed the samples, which went through the rolling contact fatigue test, with OM and SEM, and it was found that the samples had a spalling phenomenon (the race way is decentralized) after the UNSM treatment. However, before the treatment, the samples had excessive spalling and complete exploration. Comparison of the test samples before and after the UNSM treatment showed a big difference in the fatigue lifetime, which seems to result from the complicated effects of micro particles, compressive residual stress, retained austenite, and surface topology.
