The objective of this paper was to investigate the slip rate and the slip frequency number of damper clutch of torque converter in 2.4L passenger vehicle with 5-speed A/T and analyze the effect of slip control and control strategy on driving characteristics and the fuel economy. The newly developed torque converter with the more durable wet friction material and the slip-controlled damper clutch system, the DCC system, was installed, which was easily compatible and amendable of the lock-up clutch of the base system. The vehicle has been tested on the fuel economy modes such as FTP-75, HWFET and NEDC (ECE15+EUDC) driving cycle at chassis dynamometer. The DCC mode (II), of which the control strategy had both the lock-up and the slip-controlled clutch, and the DCC mode (I) with full slip-controlled clutch were compared with the base system with only the lock-up clutch. As the research result, comparison to base system, the fuel consumption of the vehicle with the DCC control (II) was effectively improved by 6.6% and 7.7% on FTP-75 and NEDC mode.

Thermal Barrier Coating with Functional Gradient Materials (FGM-TBC) can play an important role to protect the parts from harmful environments in high temperatures such as oxidation, corrosion, and wear and to improve the efficiency of aircraft engine by lowering the surface temperature on turbine blade. FGM-TBC can increase the life spans of product and improve the operating properties. Therfore, in this study the evaluations of mechanical and thermal properties of FGM-TBC such as fatigue, oxidation and wear-resistance at high temperatures have been conducted. The samples of both the TBC with 2, 3, 5 layers (YSZ/NiCrAlY) to be produced by Air Plasma Spray method (APS) and the bulk TBC with 6 layers to be produced by Plasma Assisted Sintering method (PAS) were used. Furthermore, residual stress, bond strength, and thermal conductivity were evaluated. The average thickness of the APS was 500$\mu\textrm{m}$ to 600$\mu\textrm{m}$ and the average thickness of the PAS was 3mm. The hardness number of the top layer of APS was 750 Hv to 810Hv and that of PAS was 950 Hv to 1440Hv. The $ZrO_2$ coating layer of APS was composed of tetragonal structure after spraying as the result of XRD analysis. As shown in the results of the high temperature wear test, the 3 layer coating of APS had the best wear resistance at $800^{\circ}C$ and the 5 layer coating of APS had the best wear resistance at $600^{\circ}C$. But, these coatings had the tendency of the low-temperature softening at $300^{\circ}C$. The main mechanism of wear was the adhesive wear and the friction coefficient of coatings was increased as increasing the test temperatures. A s results of thermal conductivity test, the ${\Delta}T$ of the APS coating was increased as number of layer and the range of thermal conductivity of the PAS was $800^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, the effect of oil conditions in rotor dynamic behaviors of a FFRB (Fully-Floating Ring Bearing) is investigated. Through the characteristic of a FFRB has two films, it has several advantages such as less friction loss and better stability over a wide speed range. However, it is difficult to supply a oil to the inner film. Thus, turbocharger makers have been paid significant attention to the lubrication of a FFRB because of its importance. This work focuses on the influence of oil inlet pressure and temperature. The methodologies of computational simulation and experimental test were used to estimate the rotor dynamic behaviors. In experimental test, the single-scroll turbocharger for the 1.4L diesel engine was used. The results show that the oil inlet pressure and temperature will place considerable influence on the rotor response. Oil conditions affect RSR (Ring Speed Ratio) which is cause of sub-synchronous vibrations, which also cause of oil whirling and whip even a critical speed. At higher speed range, the phenomenon of self-excited vibrations which is cause of instability of fluid whirl is investigated through the orbit shapes that consist of small orbit and large amplitude orbit. It is shown that some performance of a FFRB can be controlled by the conditions of oil supply. Finally, it was revealed that the oil induced operating conditions will strongly affect the turbocharger rotor dynamics behaviors.

Trap effect of groove is evaluated in a lubricating system using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The simulation is based on the standard k-ε turbulence model and the discrete phase model (DPM) using a commercial CFD code FLUENT. The simulation results are also capable of showing the particle trajectories in flow field. Computational domain is meshed using the GAMBIT pre-processor. The various grooves are applied in order to improve lubrication characteristics such as reduction of friction loss, increase in load carrying capacity, and trapping of the wear particles. Trap effect of groove is investigated with variations in cross-sectional shape and Reynolds number in this research. Various cross-sectional shapes of groove (rectangular, triangle, U shaped, trapezoid, elliptical shapes) are considered to evaluate the trap effect in simplified two-dimensional sliding bearing. The particles are assumed to steel, and defined a single particle injection condition in various positions. The “reflect” boundary condition for discrete phase is applied to the wall boundary, and the “escape” boundary condition to “pressure inlet” and “pressure outlet” conditions. The streamlines are compared with particles trajectories in the groove. From the results of numerical analysis in the study, it is found that the cross-sectional shapes favorable to the creation of vortex and small eddy current are effective in terms of particle trapping effect. Moreover, it is found that the Reynolds number has a strong influence on the pattern of vortex or small eddy current in the groove, and that the pattern of the vortex or small eddy current affects the trap effect of the groove.

액체로켓엔진에서의 재생냉각 채널은 높은 온도의 연소가스로부터 연소실 내벽을 효율적으로 냉각하기 위해 사용되며, 냉각채널 설계를 위해서는 열전달 특성과 압력손실 특성을 미리 예측하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 형상을 갖는 5개의 냉각채널을 설계하고, 커터와 엔드밀로 채널을 제작하였다. 채널을 흐르는 유속과 후단 압력조건을 달리하여 가공방법, 채널 형상, 유동조건에 따른 압력손실을 실험적으로 측정하여 해석결과와 비교를 수행하였다. 동일 형상 및 유동조건에서 커터로 가공된 채널이 엔드밀로 가공된 채널보다 압력손실이 적었다. 또한 채널 형상, 유동조건에 따라 실험결과와 해석결과의 압력손실 비가 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

전기차의 수요 및 보급이 확대됨에 따라 차량 내 이음(buzz, squeak, rattle, BSR) 개선에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 이에 풍절음, 도어 글라스 및 차량 진동을 차단하는 인너벨트 웨더스트립(innerbelt weatherstrip)의 댐핑(damping) 특성 향상을 통해 BSR을 저감하는 기술 개발이 필수적이다. 기존 열경화성(thermoset) 탄성체 대비 가볍고 재활용이 가능한 열가소성(thermoplastic) 탄성체가 주목을 받고 있지만 낮은 소재 댐핑과 영구압축줄음률(compression set)로 인해 도어 글라스와 웨더스트립 간 마찰 소음을 발생하는 문제가 있다. 고분자 댐핑 특성은 점탄성(viscoelastic)에 좌우되므로, 본 연구에서는 인너벨트 웨더스트립과 도어 글라스 간 마찰 소음을 개선하기 위해 EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer)/PP (polypropylene) thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV)의 재료설계인자(EPDM/PP 비율, EPDM 내 ENB 함량)에 따른 점탄성 분석을 통해 소재 댐핑 특성을 평가하였다. EPDM/PP 비율에 따른 분석을 통해 PP 비율이 낮을수록 소재가 연화되고, 탄성회복력(resilience)이 증가하여 저장탄성률(storage modulus)은 10.8% 감소하고 댐핑 특성을 의미하는 감쇠계수(tanδ)는 88.2% 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 EPDM 내 ENB 함량이 높을수록 소재의 가교밀도(crosslink density)가 증가하지만, 동적가교(dynamic vulcanizate) 과정 중 PP에 분산된 EPDM particle의 크기가 감소한다. 이로 인해 증가된 EPDM/PP 계면 간 면적 증가로 인해 계면 미끄러짐에서 기인한 손실탄성률(loss modulus)이 24.7% 증가하여 댐핑 특성이 향상되었다. 재료설계인자에 따른 물성분석을 바탕으로 최적 소재(낮은 PP 비율(14 wt%), 높은 ENB 함량 (8.9 wt%))를 배합한 결과 소재 댐핑 특성(tanδ peak)은 기존 소재(PP27, EPDM/PP 30/27, ENB content 5.7 wt%) 대비 140% 증가하여 재료설계인자에 따라 댐핑 특성을 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 설계된 소재의 글라스 마찰 소음 개선 효과를 확인하기 위해 stick-slip 시험을 통해 마찰 소음을 평가하였다. 소재 댐핑 특성이 향상됨에 따라 마찰 진동의 가속도 peak가 약 57.9% 감소하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 재료설계인자에 따른 소재 댐핑 특성 향상을 통해 인너벨트 웨더스트립의 글라스 마찰 소음을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 향후 소재 재료설계인자에 따른 물성 제어를 통해 부품의 요구 성능에 맞는 다양한 재료설계에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
