Viscosity index improver (VII) is one of the major additives to the modern multigrade lubricants for the viscosity stability against temperature rise. However, it causes shear thinning effects which make the film thickness lessened very delicately at high shear rate $(over\;10^5\;s^{-1})$ of general EHL contact regime. In order to exactly verify the VII's performance of viscosity stability at such high shear rate, it is necessary to make the measurement of EHL film thickness down to $\~100nm$ with fine resolution for the preliminary study of viscosity control. In this work, EHL film thickness of VII added lubricant is measured with the resolution of $\~5nm$, which will give very informative design tool for the synthesis of lubricants regarding the matter of load carrying capacity at high shear rate condition.

Tapered roller bearings are widely used in equipment where high combined thrust and radial loads are experienced. A certain amount of tilting between the tapered rollers and the races always occurs because of bending moment load conditions and shaft deflection. It is now well understood that a coherent elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film separates the rollers and races. In spite of extensive study on EHL problems for over half a century, relatively few studies have focused on the finite line contacts problem. This study presents a complete numerical analysis of the effects of roller tilting on the EHL characteristics in a tapered roller bearing. We systematically analyze this highly nonlinear problem using finite differences with fully non-uniform grids and the Newton-Raphson method. Detailed EHL pressure distributions and film shapes are presented under moderate loads and material parameters. A very small roller tilting significantly affects the pressure distributions and film shapes near both ends of the roller. Moreover, the effect of tilting on the EHL characteristics at the small end is much greater than that at the large end. Therefore, in designing optimum profiles for tapered roller bearings, the profile radius should be larger at the small end.

The profile of the roller in the axial direction is the main design factor in order to increase endurance life against the contact fatigue due to the stress concentration along the edge of the roller. Even under the elas-tohydrodynamic lubrication (ehl) conditions, the stress concentration along the edge of the roller greatly worsens the fatigue life both for the roller and contacting body. In this study, roller contacts of finite axial length are studied for the film thickness and pressure of ehl. For the real contact behaviors under the ehl conditions, multigrid and multi-level method is applied so that much higher loading conditions can be investigated. Several axial profiles of roller are investigated to verify how both ehl film and pressure are generated and some of them are recommended for the ehl contact condition.

Objectives: Fine particulate matter pollution has emerged as a significant life-threatening issue in Thailand. Recognizing the importance of environmental health literacy (EHL) in disease prevention is crucial for protecting public health. This study investigated EHL levels and aimed to identify associated factors among village health volunteers (VHVs) in the upper northern region of Thailand. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from 710 VHVs using the EHL assessment tool developed by the Department of Health, Thailand. Results: The overall EHL score was moderate (mean, 3.28 out of a possible 5.0), with the highest and lowest domain-specific mean score for the ability to make decisions (3.52) and the ability to access (3.03). Multiple linear regression revealed that the factors associated with EHL score were area of residence (urban areas in Chiang Mai: B=0.254; urban areas in Lampang: B=0.274; and rural areas in Lampang: B=0.250 compared to rural areas in Chiang Mai), higher education levels (senior high school: B=0.212; diploma/high vocational certificate: B=0.350; bachelor's degree or above: B=0.528 compared to elementary school or lower), having annual health checkups compared to not having annual health check-ups (B=0.142), monthly family income (B=0.004), and individuals frequently facing air pollution issues around their residence (B=0.199) compared to those who reported no such issues. Conclusions: The VHVs exhibited moderate EHL associated with residence area, education, health check-ups, family income, and residential air pollution. Considering these factors is vital for enhancing VHVs' EHL through strategic interventions.

Occasionally, extensor hallucis longus tendon (EHL) ruptures becames open by laceration and spontaneous rupture of EHL that has previous story of diabetes mellitus, steroid injection, systemic steroid administration, operation and rheumatoid arthritis. But, closed traumatic EHL ruptures are reported rarely. Especially, we diagnosed the closed EHL ruptures in TaeKwonDo players. We reported the 2 patients, differently treated end to end anastomosis and EHL transfer, had the course and treatment methods. Be care the prognosis can be altered according to the treatment time and method.

This paper shows the effect of axial profile on the elastohydrodnamic lubrication (EHL) behavior of axially profiled cylindrical roller. For two different type of profiles which have nearly similar elastostatic pressure distribution, the EHL results show large differences. Especially the difference in film shape is larger than that of pressure distribution. Therefore, the magnitude of the minimum film thickness should be a major criteria to design the axial profile of the roller and a new design procedure is presented which take into account the minimum film thickness as well as the pressure distribution.

본 논문에서는 유한차분법과 뉴우튼-랍슨 방법을 사용하여 타원접촉 EHL 문제를 수치해석하고 그 결과를 H-D의 해석결과 및 그들의 유막두께식과 비교하였다. 최소유막의 크리 뿐만 아니라 중앙부의 유막두께도 H-D이ㅡ 결과와 차이를 보이며, 특히, 하중변화에 대한 중앙부 유막두께는 상당히 크게 차이를 나타내고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 구한 정확한 수치해석결과를 사용하면 H-D나 Chittenden 등의 유막두께식에 비하여 EHL 상태에서의 유막두께를 보다 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 새로운 유막두께식을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 생각되며 이를 위해서 추가적인 연구가 요구된다.

로울러 베어링의 로울러는 길이방향으로 적당하게 Profiling하여 양단부에서 발생하는 응력집중을 줄이고 있다. 로울러와 레이스간의 접촉을 단순한 탄성접촉문제로 해석하는 경우에는 유막의 개념이 없어서 로울러와 레이스 사이의 압력분포와 유막형상을 정확하게 나타내기가 어려우므로 탄성변형과 압력에 따른 윤활유의 점도 변화를 고려한 탄성유체윤활(EHL)해석이 필요하다. 대부분의 해석은 무한장 로울러로 취급하는 것이 보통이며 실제의 로울러에 해당하는 유한한 길이의 선접촉 EHL 해석은 Mostofi & Gohar 및 Kuroda & Arai의 해석 정도이나 각각은 수렴하중이 작거나 로울러의 길이가 아주 짧은 경우에 해당한다. 본 연구에서는 FDM과 Newton-Raphson method를 이용하여 길이가 유한한 실제 크기의 Profiled 로울러에 대한 EHL상태에서의 압력분포와 유막형상을 보다 하중이 온 경우에 대해서 구하고자 한다.

Most studies of elsatohydrodynamic lubrication are oriented only to the measurement of film thickness itself with optical interferometer. In order to exactly investigate the characteristics of a certain lubricant under the condition of additives. especially for traction performance. it is also important to get the information of traction force as well. In this work. we developed the device for measuring friction force of EHL contact condition, which can trace the film thickness over the contact area with optical interferometer. To verify the validity of the measuring system, the friction force and film thickness under EHL condition are measured with the variation of additive ratios of viscosity Index improvers.

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis shows that film thickness is very flat in the contact area and pressure distribution is somehow similar to that of Hertzian contact pressure except the outlet region with pressure spike. These typical patterns of EHL film thickness and pressure are the cases under the steady contact conditions of applied loads and speeds. However, many engineering contacts are rather under the conditions of varying loads and contact speeds, and therefore the predictions for endurance life and performance of machine elements with steady EHL analysis are not suitable in many occasions. This study shows the differences in film thickness formation and pressure distribution between steady and transient contact conditions in several contact cases.
