The floating ring seal is used in an oxidizer and a fuel pump of the turbo pump unit in the liquid rocket engine to optimize a leakage without rubbing phenomenon. The damper floating ring seal, one of the floating ring seals, is with round hole pattern surfaces. It can reduce the leakage by increased friction factor that obtained from experimental data. In this paper, the leakage test about floating ring seal and damper floating ring seal was conducted. The test result showed the leakage performance of damper floating ring seal was better than the leakage performance of floating ring seal. With the leakage test the lock-up and rotation test about seal was conducted and that position is measured. The relatively large lock-up eccentric ratio was obtained from the test result of damping floating ring seal. The attitude angle of seal increases with increasing of shaft rotation

Lubricational characteristics at the interface between the piston ring and the cylinder liner are considered in this paper. To verify that surface shape and operating conditions of the engine can affect the state of lubrication, the changes of the minimum film thickness and friction force are calculated with various conditions. Oil starvation and open-end boundary condition are used to determine computational boundaries as reported on previous paper for lubrication analysis for the piston ring. From this analysis, it can be found that lubricational characteristics are seriously affected by degree of oil starvation, surface shape and operating conditions.

A clutch is a very important component when engine starts and gear shifting is needed. The clutch the most commonly used is the dry clutch. This type of clutch has pads, and they are worn after disengagement of clutch little by little. The characteristics of the clutch changes as these pads wear, so wear needs to be measured, and the clutch should be controlled for proper operation. In this study, the clutch contact point estimation algorithm has been developed. From this algorithm, clutch force map changes depending on wear, and the clutch operates properly. We also see the shifting transient of a vehicle for drivability with throttle valve position control and synchronizer movement.

Wear and friction behavior of plasma-sprayed coatings in Mo- and Co-based alloy were studied for the application of piston-ring automobile engine. The plasma-sprayed coatings were varied with gun current density, gas flow, and distance. The surface roughness, microhardness, and wear volume were measured depending on the spray distances. The high temperature hardness value were also measured as a function of temperature. Ball-on-disc geometry configuration tribometer was utilized in air. The wear tests were performed in the temperature ranges from room temperature to 825$^{\circ}$C to investigate the tribological trend of the piston-ring materials in the lack of lubricant. The cross sections of wear track were investigated, using microscopy.

The shift feeling, a driver experiences during gear shifting, is a major factor in manual transmission quality. Recently, the shift feeling has becoming more severe every year in proportion to the higher torque and revolution speed of today's automotive engine. In this paper, first, the diagram of a relation between cone angle, sleeve chamfer angle, and friction coefficient of ring is investigated for easy design of Synchromesh system. And then, methodology to solve the shift problems such as clashing noise and rough shift, ect. by analyzing the synchronization procedure in sequence and by investigating the shift waveform if presented.

In unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the high temperature results from friction with the air, combustion of fuel and combustion gas of a nozzle etc. It causes serious problems in the UAV structure. The characteristic analysis of heat resistant metal and ceramic materials and creep analysis for the functionally graded material (FGM) is presented in this paper. FGM is composed of two constituent materials that are mixed up according to the specific volume fraction distribution in order to withstand high heat condition. In addition, the creep behavior of FGM applied in duct structure of an engine is analyzed.

Dynamic deformation of the cylinder bore during actual engine operation has an important effect on the combustion gas sealing, oil consumption, friction and so on. The dynamic analysis using the finite element method is performed to investigate the dynamic deformation of the cylinder bore subjected to forced vibration under excitation of the combustion gas pressure. However, this analysis requires large computer memory and tremendous solving time. The pseudo-static analysis can be an alternative to the dynamic analysis at the expense of accuracy. Dynamic analysis and static analysis results are presented for both closed-deck block and open-deck block that are respectively combined with the cylinder block, cylinder head, transmission, and oil pan.

A experimental try was conducted for the purpose of establishment of the cast iron modification by the metal spray method. The friction and wear resistance properties of the metal sprayed cast iron surface were evaluated. The application experiment for the cast iron modification by the metal spray method was conducted in order to develope the restoring method of the scrapped cast iron cylinder liner of the marine engine.

A full-bead of multi-layer-steel (MLS) engine head gasket is used to seal the combustion gas. Finite element analyses were conducted to assess the dependence of the sealing performance of full-bead on the forming process consisting of embossing and flatting operations. It is demonstrated that the sealing performance is enhanced with more severe deformation of the bead plate during the embossing, i.e., with the increase in the punching depth, the punch height, the punch width and the friction coefficient of the bead plate against the punch and die, and with the decrease in the width of die cavity. Meanwhile, the flatting process that is employed to adjust the height of the embossed full-bead has no influence on the sealing performance.

A 150 m$^{3}$/hr, 30 kg/cm$^{2}$, air-cooled 3-stage reciprocating air compressor is designed to be used in starting large diesel engines. A basic design procedure is presented to meet the targeted pressure and flow rate, and especially the volumetric efficiency. Temperature and stress analyses of the cylinder are performed using FEM modelings. The dynamics of valve system is analyzed and stress at the valve seat due to valve impact is evaluated. To reduce friction loss and wear at the compressor engine system, tribological design practices are suggested. Fin-type coolers are designed to dissipate generated compression heat at each stage. Finally, a prototype is manufactured and performance test is carried out utilizing an air tank. Performance results are compared to the design targets, other foreign specifications, and some quality standards.
