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.

When the fatigue life calculated in the stress-based method are compared with L50 life of L-P model, Crossland criterion for the radial load increment is similar to L50 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.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the effects of surface roughness by comparing the elastohydrodynamic lubrication(EHL) analysis of smooth surface and rough surface as the ball bearing. In order to do this, The average flow model is adapted for the interaction of the flow rheology of lubricant and surface roughness. The average Reynolds equation and the related flow factor which describes the coupled effects of surface roughness and flow rheology, the viscosity-pressure and density-pressure relations equations, the elastic deformation equation, and the force balance equation are solved simultaneously. The results show that effects of surface roughness on the film thickness and pressre distribution should be considered especially in EHL contact problems.

냉각성, 난연성, 그리고 경제성의 면에서 우수한 윤활특성을 갖고 있는 이멀션윤활제를 사용하여 로울러와 프레이트간의 선접촉 및 광간섭계의 실험장치를 통하여 탄성유체윤활 영역에서의 윤활기구 및 분산립자의 거동기구를 명확히 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 스퀴즈 유막내의 유동은 윤활간극이 비교적 넓은 경우와 좁은 경우로 대별하여 전자의 경우에는, 입자분포 및 속도분포의 영향이 크게 나타나며, 후자의 경우는 이멀션입자가 간극내에 정지하여 유막두께의 감소와 더불어 변형되어 간다. 2. 스퀴즈 유막내의 O/W, W/O 각 이멀션의 유동은 간극이 클 경우, 입경에 의한 속도차가 역으로 나타나고, 작은 경우에는 잔류액적의 분포가 서로 다르며 그밖에 O/W 형은 W/O 형에 비하여 분산입자가 쉽게 변형하는 것을 알 수 있다. 3. EHL영역입구부에서는 입자의 유동속도가 극히 적은 정체영역이 존재하며, 그 부근에서의 입자의 거동은 입경에 따라서 다르다. 4. 2색광에 의한 광간섭선의 관찰에 의하여 탄성유체윤활 영역내를 통과하는 이멀션유를 확인함과 동시에 EHL영역입구부에서의 분열거동이 관찰되었다.

The film thickness and shape of elastohydrodynamic lubrication is measured by optical interferometer, which is the most precise method for EHL film measurement. However the interpretation of the image pattern from optical viscometer is not easy for two-dimensional shape. A newly developed method of image processing makes it possible to evaluate the film thickness and shape in every point of contact region with two dimensional aspects. In this study, we captured film shape of EHL film from the monochromatic incident light with the Image processing method, which uses phase shift method, and obtained the image analysis method for gray level image in order to qualitatively evaluate film shapes.

The effect of surface texture on elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) point contact of a ball Joint mechanism in small reciprocating compressors is studied numerically by using multigrid method. Pressure and film thickness profiles have been calculated for surface roughness with waviness of different orientations and transverse ridge and dent at minimum and maximum Hoes M parameter conditions. The influence of the amplitude and the wavelength of the surface roughness was also studied. Results show that the oblique waviness with orientation angle of 30$^{\circ}$generates the smallest minimum film thickness as compared with those of longitudinal, transverse, and other oblique roughness. The influence of transverse waviness on the minimum film thickness is smaller than for the longitudinal waviness case.

탄성유체윤활 (elastohydrodynamic lubrication : EHL)이론은 구름 베어링, 기어 및 캠기구 등과 같이 집중 하중을 받는 기계 요소에서의 윤활 현상을 설명하는 이론으로서, 윤활부분에서 금속 접촉이 발생하지 않도록 기계요소를 설계하기 위하여 필요한 최소유막두께를 결정하는 데 사용된다. 그리이스는 대표적인 윤활제로서 구름 베어링의 윤활에 있어서 중요한 위치를 점하고 있다. 현재 집중 하중을 받는 기계 요소의 윤활에는 윤활 구조의 간편화, 보수의 용이성, 먼지나 이물의 침입 방지 등에 유리한 그리이스 윤활의 사용이 확대되고 있다. 현재 전동기, 가정용 전기기기, 측정기 등에 쓰이는 구름 베어링의 경우는 거의 전량 그리이스 윤활이 사용되고 있다. 지금까지의 연구는 유동특성상의 복잡성 때문에 무한장 선접촉 등온 EHL 문제에 대한 해석이었고, 아직까지는 그리이스 윤활 TEHL 해석에 관한 연구는 발표된 바 없다. 본 연구에는 Herschel-Bulkley 모델 그리이스 EHL문제를 열탄성유체윤활해석하여 보다 정확한 접촉부의 압력분포와 유막형상을 예측하고자 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 tribological characteristics of a certain lubricant, it is also important to get the information of traction behaviors as well. In this work, we developed a device for measuring the friction force of ehl contact condition as well as the film thickness. To verify the validity of the measuring system, the friction forces and film thicknesses under ehl condition are simultaneously measured with the variations of additive ratios of viscosity index improvers which cause non-linear tendencies of film thickness to contact velocity.

In this study, a multigrid multi-integration method has been used to solve the steady-state, elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) point contact problem of a ball joint mechanism used in small reciprocating compressors. Pressure and film thickness profiles have been calculated at minimum and maximum Moes M parameter conditions during one revolution of crankshaft. The effects of various lubricant viscosities, loads, ball velocities, elastic modulli, and radii of curvature on the calculated pressure distribution and film thicknesses have been investigated. The results indicate that the viscosity of lubricant, the sliding velocity of ball, and the reduced radius of curvature have considerable effects on the minimum and central film thicknesses. Solutions obtained with the multigrid analysis are compared with results calculated according to the Hamrock ＆ Dowson relations for the minimum and central film thicknesses.

In this paper, a finite difference method and the Newton-Raphson method are used to evaluate the Hamrock and Dowson's EHL film thickness formulas in elliptical contact problems. The minimum and central film thicknesses are compared with the Hamrock and Dowson's numerical results for various dimensionless parameters and with their film thickness formulas. The results of present analysis are more accurate and physically reasonable. The minimum film thickness formula is similar with the Hamrock and Dowson's results, however, the central film thickness formula shows large differences. Therefore, the Hamrock and Dowson's central film thickness formula should be replaced by following equation. $H_{c} = 4.88U^{0.68}G^{0.44}W^{0.096}(1-0.58e^{-0.60k})$ More accurate film thickness formula for general elliptical contact problems can be expected using present numerical methods and further research should be required.
