Crank pin bearing in two-stroke marine diesel engine is operated under quite severe conditions since the elements are big and heavy and the sliding speed is very slow. Therefore it is very difficult to form oil film. In this paper, two types of bearings with different groove shape are compared. One has circumferential oil groove at lower position and the other has lengthwise oil groove at upper position. Bearing clearance, oil inlet pressure and length to diameter ratio are selected as design parameters. Locus of journal center and minimum oil film thickness are investigated to compare two cases.

The effect of air vent holes, stacking methods of boxes and clearance between boxes on static pressure drop, were measured to design of pressure cooling system. Static pressure drops in air vent hole of carton box were measured for different hole opening ratio from 1% to 5%. Static pressure drop was expressed as a function of superficial velocity as second-degree polynomial. At given static pressure in plenum chamber, static pressure drop in boxes was shown as second-degree polynomial of the number of carton box in series stacking method, as first-degree polynomial in height and parallel stacking method. In pressure cooling of 24 boxes of Tsugaru apple, air flow rates through clearance between the boxes were shown 1.27 and 1.65 times than those of through the inside of boxes at the plenum pressure of 10mmAq and 20mmAq, respectively.

The purpose of the paper is to investigate the noise characteristics of cylindrical roller bearings. For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the cylindrical roller bearing is infinitely long, and there is no outside force acting on the bearing. The effects of radial clearance of the bearing, viscosity of the lubricant and number of the roller on the noise of the bearing are also examined. Results show that the fundamental frequency of the bearing noise corresponds to the multiplication of number of the roller and whirling frequency of the roller center or the retainer. The acoustical frequency spectra of the roller bearing are pure tone spectra, containing the fundamental frequency of the bearing and its super­harmonics. The low viscosity of the lubricant, high radial clearance of the bearing, and low number of the roller decrease the bearing noise. The results and discussions of the present paper could aid in the low­noise design of the cylindrical roller bearing.

The reliable stress intensity factor analysis is required for fracture mechanics design or safety evaluation of mechanical joints at which cracks often initiate and grow. It has been reported that cracks in mechanical joints usually nucleate as corner cracks at the faying surface of joints and grow as elliptical arc through cracks. In this paper, three dimensional finite element analyses are performed for elliptical arc through cracks in mechanical joints. Thereafter stress intensity factors along elliptical crack front including two surface points are determined by the virtual crack closure technique. Virtual crack closure technique is a method to calculate stress intensity factor using the finite element analysis and can be applied to non-orthogonal mesh. As a result, the effects of clearance on the stress intensity factor are investigated and crack shape are then predicted.

Sheanng is one of the most important operating processes in the field of sheet metal manufacturing. Compared with casting, forging and machining, shearing is very economical to obtain the desired shape. In recent years there has been increasing the use of shearing process in the manufacturing of small and light electronic components. In this paper, it has been researched the experimental investigation to examine the mfl uence of shearing process parameters such as clearance and lower holder configuration. Through the experiment results, the more narrow clearance gives the smaller burr height and the removal of lower holder makes the worse sheared surface. And FE simulation of shearing process using DEFORM-2D were camed out and the results compared w~th experimental studies

Internal and external heat sources will cause to deform to machine elements in the contact joint of structure,which results in the change of contact pressure distribution different from initial assembly. Heat induced variations of contact pressure will change the static and dynamic properties such as contact stiffness,damping as well as contact heat conduction in the structure. In order to design and control the intelligent machine tool operating in variant conditions more sophisticatedly, the good prediction for the changes of prescribed propeties are strongly required especially in the contact elements adjacent to the rotational or linear bearing This paper presents some computational and experimental results in regard to static and dynamic characteristics of the press-fitted bush and shaft assembly which is a model of the bearing innerrace and shaft assembly. In the condition of heat generation on the outer surface of the bush,the effects of changes in the negative clearance and the heat flux on pressure distribution and dynamic properties are investigated. Results of this study show that the edge effect of the bush and the initial clearance have effects on the transient dynamic characteristics significantiy.

The present study aims at investigating the effect of the fluid-structure interaction on the aerodynamic performances in the turbo blower. The design specifications of the reference model driven by 400kW power were given as 7.43kg/s of mass flow rate, 1.66 of pressure ratio with 12000rpm of impeller rotating speed. Numerical simulation has been performed on the three cases based on the tip clearance between the impeller blade and the shroud. The CFX-turbo for flow fields and ANSYS-mechanical for structure domain were applied to solve the present FSI problems inside the turbo blower. Through the numerical results, the performances corrected by the FSI effects were proposed for the more reliable predictions.

Thin film flow in the clearance between cylinder bore and axially moving compositeshape piston is analyzed to study the effect of piston shape on the lubrication characteristics of hydraulic piston pump and motor. It is shown that the piston shape significantly affect the distribution of fluid film pressure, lateral force acting on the piston and leakage flow rate in the clearance. And it is also shown that the composite-shape piston is more effective than the cylindrical piston under tilted condition to reduce the possibility of hydraulic locking. Therefore, the results of present study can be used usefully in the design-and manufacturing of hydraulic piston pump and motor.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the method of prevention of staircase accidents, and to make housing environment better through researching the dimension of a housing staircase for Korean. The scope and method of this thesis is to investigate the dimension limits of a staircase (slope, minimum width of tread, maximum height of riser), and to analyze the characteristics of foot condition (jutting rate, foot angle, ball joint, nosing clearance, clearance distance) using the experiment which takes a photograph of foot motion during walking stairs. The results of this thesis are as follows. The slope of a staircase in house is $32.3^{\circ}$$^{\circ}$-$42.1^{\circ}$$^{\circ}$. The riser should be less than 190 mm. The minimum size of tread is 210 mm and proper size is 270 mm.

Flow field and near-field noise of a centrifugal fan has been studied with an efficient compressible method and STAR-CD. The flow field of the centrifugal fan is assumed to be two-dimensional. Most of the compressible studies have been done by inviscid solver because viscous simulation shows little difference. The near field noise is estimated in terms of sound pressure level in frequency domain transformed from the computed pressure fluctuations using FFT. The simulation has been done on various design elements such as impeller blade shapes, the number of blades and cut-off clearance. The comparison shows that the number of blades has a significant effect on near-field noise without losing aerodynamic performance.
