The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of surface texturing on reduction friction and to understand the potential of friction reduction through micro-scale dimple to fabricate by photolithography on pin-on-disk test using flat-on-flat contact geometry. It was verify that the friction property with respect to the same pitch has been influence on the size of dimple under lubricated sliding contact. Also, we can recognize from Stribeck curve that the friction property has a connection with the size of dimple. It can explain a relationship between the friction coefficient and a dimensionless parameter for lubrication condition. The friction property has been an effect on the size of surface texture on reduction friction, not only because the density of dimple, but also because the ratio of diameter/pitch. This ratio of approximately 0.5 recommend under the tested friction condition. It suggested that the ratio of d/p is an important parameter for surface texture design.

In highly stressed machine elements such as angular contact ball bearings and toroidal type traction drives, the elastohydrodynamic lubrication of elliptical contacts with both rolling and spinning motion are occur. In this paper, a finite difference method with non-uniform grid systems and the Newton-Raphson method are applied to solve the problems. Pressure distributions, film contours and variations of the minimum and central film thicknesses are compared with various ellipticity parameter, dimensionless speed and load parameter. The results showed that the spinning motion has significant influence especially on the film shapes. Reduction of the minimum film thickness under spinning is remarkable whereas the central film thickness is relatively less. Especially variations of the minimum film thicknesses with rolling velocity, load and ellipticity ratio are a great different from those of pure rolling. Therefore present numerical scheme can be used in the analysis of general elliptical contact EHL problems and further studies are required.

In this paper, the geometry effectiveness and contact modes as functions of real contact length on a cap ring have been analyzed for high pressure sealing mechanism in reciprocating actuator. The reaction force and elastic strain energy density are very important parameters for analyzing the sealing performance of an ACGT ring seal. For the high pressure of 800bar and the maximum speed of 3m/s, the main piston is reciprocating along the linear line against the cylinder wall. The computed results indicate that the length ratio of a cap ring is more influential design parameter compared to that of the tribological contact mode. Thus, this paper recommends the discrete contact area rather than a conventional flat contact model. Especially, the sealing capacity is more improved when the length ratio of a cap ring is below 0.625.

The method for fatigue life prediction of ball bearing is proposed applying the algorithm of contact fatigue prediction based on stress analysis. In order to do this, a series of simulation such as initial surface stress analysis, EHL analysis, subsurface stress analysis and fatigue analysis are conducted from the loading at each ball location calculated for a bearing subjected to external bearing load and contact shape function. And uniaxial fatigue tests are performed to obtain fatigue parameter of AISI 52100 steel. It was found that since stress is usually higher at the inner raceway contact than at the outer raceway contact, fatigue failure occurs on the inner raceway first. When the fatigue life calculated in the stress-based method are compared with $L_{50}$ life of L-P model, Crossland criterion for the radial load increment is similar to $L_{50}$ life and Dang Van criterion for the axial load increment is similar. In the case of EHL contact. there is no difference of fatigue life between dry contact and EHL contact, when maximum Hertz pressure exceeds 2.5GPa.

In a railway vehicle, contact between wheel and rail is a peculiar characteristic and variations of wheel and rail profile influence on the dynamic characteristics of railway vehicle. Thus the variations of the wheel and rail profile are very important in railway dynamics. Recently a research relating to active steering to improve the curving performance of vehicle is progressing actively at home and abroad. In this field, a pre-study for the wheel/rail contact geometry is needed and especially the variation of the wheel/rail contact geometry with wheel wear is the key design parameter to develop the controller of the active steering bogie. In this paper, we have experimentally studied to analyze the variation of the wheel/rail contact geometry with wheel wear as a pre-study to develop the active steering bogie for electric multiple unit (EMU). For this, we have made an experiment with EMU operating in curving area. We have measured the wear profiles of the wheel of the test vehicle and analyzed the wheel/rail contact geometry with a mileage of the test vehicle. In experiment with test vehicle, we have got the useful data to design the steering controller of the wheelset.

The present study deals with static and dynamic behaviors including forced vibrations of an elastic rectangular nano plate on the two-parameter foundation. Firstly, the rectangular plate is assumed to be subjected to uniformly distributed and eccentrically applied concentrated loads. The governing equations of the problem are derived by considering the dynamic response of the plate, employing a series of the Chebyshev polynomials for the displacement function and applying the Galerkin method. Then, effects of the non-essential boundary conditions of the plate, i.e., the boundary conditions related to the shearing forces, the bending moments and the corner forces, are included in the governing equation of motion to compensate for the non-satisfied boundary conditions and increase the accuracy of the Galerkin method. The approximate numerical solution is accomplished using an iterative process due to the non-linearity of the unilateral property of the two-parameter foundation. The plate under static concentrated load is investigated in detail numerically by considering a wide range of parameters of the plate and the foundation stiffnesses. Numerical treatment of the problem in the time domain is carried out by assuming a stepwise variation of the concentrated load and the linear acceleration procedure is employed in the solution of the system of governing differential equations derived from the equation of motion. Time variations of the contact region and those of the displacements of the plate are presented in the figures for various numbers of the two-parameter of the foundation, as well as the classical and nano parameters of the plate particularly focusing on the non-linearity of the problem due to the plate lift-off from the unilateral foundation. The effects of classical and nonlocal parameters and loading are investigated in detail. Definition of the separation between the plate and the two-parameter foundation is presented and applied to the given problem. The effect of the lift-off on the static and dynamic behavior of the rectangular plate is studied in detail by considering various loading conditions. The numerical study shows that the effect of nonlocal parameters on the behavior of the plate becomes significant, when nonlinearity becomes more profound, due to the lift-off of the plate. It is seen that the size effects are significant in static and dynamic analysis of nano-scaled rectangular plates and need to be included in the mechanical analyses. Furthermore, the corner displacement of the plate is affected more significantly from the lift-off, whereas it is less marked in the time variation of the middle displacement of the plate. Several numerical examples are presented to examine the sensibility of various parameters associated with nonlocal parameters of the plate and foundation. Both stiffening and softening nonlocal parameters behavior of the plate are identified in the numerical solutions which show that increasing the foundation stiffness decreases the extent of the contact region, whereas the stiffness of the shear layer increases the contact region and reduces the foundation settlement considerably.

플라즈마를 활용한 미세 패턴의 건식 식각은 반도체 소자 공정에 있어서 가장 중요한 기술 중 하나이다. 한편, 매년 발행되는 ITRS Roadmap 에 따르면 DRAM 의 1/2 pitch 는 감소하는 동시에 Contact A/R (Aspect Ratio) 는 증가하고 있다. 이러한 추세 속에서 기존의 공정을 그대로 활용할 경우 식각물의 프로파일 왜곡 혹은 휨 현상이 발생하고 식각 속도가 저하되며 이러한 특성들이 결과적으로는 생산성의 저하로 이어질 수 있다. 이러한 현상을 최소화하기 위해서는 무엇보다 독립된 plasma parameter 들이 식각물의 프로파일 혹은 식각 속도 등에 어떠한 영향을 주는 지에 대한 학문적 이해가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 최소 CD (Critical Dimenstion) 100nm, 최대 A/R 30 인 HARC (High Aspect Ration Contact hole) 의 식각 특성이 plasma parameter 에 따라 어떻게 변하는지 확인해 보고자 한다. 산화물의 식각은 대표적인 high density plasma source 중의 하나인 ICP에서 진행하였으며 기존에 알려진 plasma parameter 에 더하여 자장의 인가가 산화물의 식각 특성에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 살펴보고자 전자석을 ICP 에 추가로 설치하여 실험을 진행하였다. 결과적으로, plasma parameter 에 따른 혹은 자장의 세기 변화에 따른 산화물의 식각 실험을 플라즈마 진단 실험과 병행하여 진행함으로써 다양한 인자에 따른 산화물의 식각 메커니즘을 정확하게 이해하고자 하였다. 실험 내용을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 전자석의 전류 인가 조건에 따라 축 방향 혹은 반경 방향으로의 자장의 분포가 달라질 수 있음을 확인하였고 플라즈마 진단 결과 축 방향 혹은 반경 방향으로의 자장이 증가하였을 때 고밀도의 플라즈마가 형성될 수 있음은 물론 반경 방향으로의 플라즈마 밀도의 균일도가 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 ICP 조건에서 바이어스 주파수, 압력, 바이어스 파워, 소스 파워, 가스 유량 등의 plasma parameter 가 산화물의 식각 특성에 미치는 영향 및 메커니즘을 규명하였고 이 과정을 통해 최적화된 프로파일을 바탕으로 축 방향 혹은 반경 방향으로 증가하는 자장을 인가하였을 때 (M-ICP 혹은 자화 유도 결합 플라즈마) ICP 대비 산화물의 식각 속도가 증가함은 물론 PR-to-oxide 의 선택비가 개선될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 자장의 인가에 따른 산화물의 정확한 식각 메커니즘은 향후의 실험 진행을 통해 이해하고 이를 통해 궁극적으로는 산화물의 식각 공정이 나아가야 할 올바른 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
