In the present article, silica nanoparticles (SNPs) were exploited to improve the tribological and mechanical properties of vinyl ester/glass fiber composites. To the best of our knowledge, there hasn't been any prior study on the wear properties of glass fiber reinforced vinyl ester SiO₂ nanocomposites. The wear resistance is a critical concern in many industries which needs to be managed effectively to reduce high costs. To examine the influence of SNPs on the mechanical properties, seven different weight percentages of vinyl ester/nano-silica composites were initially fabricated. Afterward, based on the tensile testing results of the silica nanocomposites, four wt% of SNPs were selected to fabricate a ternary composite composed of vinyl ester/glass fiber/nano-silica using vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding. At the next stage, the tensile, three-point flexural, Charpy impact, and pin-on-disk wear tests were performed on the ternary composites. The fractured surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images after conducting previous tests. The most important and interesting result of this study was the development of a nanocomposite that exhibited a 52.2% decrease in the mean coefficient of friction (COF) by augmenting the SNPs, which is beneficial for the fabrication/repair of composite/steel energy pipelines as well as hydraulic and pneumatic pipe systems conveying abrasive materials. Moreover, the weight loss due to wearing the ternary composite containing one wt% of SNPs was significantly reduced by 70%. Such enhanced property of the fabricated nanocomposite may also be an important design factor for marine structures, bridges, and transportation of wind turbine blades.

Dry sliding wear behavior of electro-pressure sintered Fe-Ni and Co-Fe-Ni compacts was investigated. Pin-on-disk wear tests were performed on the sintered Fe-Ni, Co-Fe-Ni disk specimens against alumina $(Al_2O_3)$ and silica $(SiO_2)$ ball counterparts at various loads ranging from 3N to 12N. A constant sliding speed of 0.1m/sec was employed. Wear rate was calculated by dividing the weight loss measured after the test by specific gravity and sliding distance. Worn surfaces and cross sections of them were examined by a scanning electron microscopy, and wear mechanism of the compacts was investigated. Wear characteristics of the compacts were discussed as a function of composition of the compacts. Relationship between the wear rate and mechancial properties of the compact was explored, and effects of the oxide layer that was formed on wearing surface of the compacts on the wear were also studied.

The hydroformability of aluminum alloy sheets at elevated temperatures have been investigated in this study. It is necessary to analyze the variations of the mechanical properties that depend on the forming temperature and the heat conduction during warm hydroforming. Therefore, in this study a coupled simulation of plastic deformation and temperature distribution in the warm hydroforming process is performed and compared with experimental data. The multi-purpose code DEFORM-2D can handle this type of calculations but it takes high computation time if contact heat transfer between die, tube and pressure medium occurs. Experiments were conducted by high temperature tribometer(pin-on-disk) allowing measuring the friction coefficients of the aluminum alloys at several temperatures and these results are applied to the coupled simulation by which the optimal process parameters such as internal pressure and preset temperature on hydroformability can be determined. The comparison of the FE analysis with the experimental results has shown that hydroformability given by bulge height, and temperature distribution of the tube specimen make a little difference with the FE results but the trend predicted by simulation agrees well with experiments.

본 논문에서는 고체상호간 미끄름접촉에 의해 발생하는 진동과 소음의 특성을 조사하기 위해서 실험과 이론해석을 행하였다. 미끄름접촉과 관련된 소음에는 brake squeal 혹은 wheel screech등과 같이 stick-slip 형태의 동적 불안정 상태와 관련이 있는 squeal noise와, 겉보기로 동적 안정 상태에 있으나 미끄름접촉면간에 내재하는 미끄름접촉 고유의 불규칙한 동특성에 기인하여 발생하는 rubbing noise가 있다. 본 연구의 대상은 보다 기본적인 형태인 후자에 한한다.

타이어의 반복적 변형과 노면과의 마찰은 열발생을 야기하여 타이어의 온도를 상승시킨다. 이 온도 증가는 타이어 손상을 가져오는 요인이 될 수 있다. 이 같은 온도 상승을 억제하고자 타이어 측면에 냉각핀을 적용하고, 이에 따른 냉각 효과를 규명하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 이를 위하여 8개의 냉각핀 형상이 검토 되었으며, 냉각핀 형상에 따른 사이드월 표면 온도 저감 효과를 수치해석적 분석을 통해 규명하였다. 또한 핀 후류에서의 와류에 의한 유동특성과 열전달특성을 비교하였다.

For a present study, woven type carbon fibers were surface-modified by oxygen plasma to improve adhesive strength between carbon fibers and epoxy. The change of hydrophilic properties by the plasma modification was investigated through the contact angle measurement and the calculation of surface energy of carbon fiber due to the oxygen plasma modification. FESEM and XPS analyses were performed to study the chemical and physical changes on the surface of carbon fibers due to the oxygen plasma modification. Pin-on-disk wear tests were conducted under dry condition using unmodified and plasma-modified carbon/epoxy composites to investigate the effect of plasma modification on the wear behavior of woven type carbon/epoxy composites. The results showed that the friction coefficient and the wear rate of plasma-modified carbon/epoxy composites were lower than those of unmodified carbon/epoxy composites, respectively. XPS analysis showed that new functional group of a carbonyl type was created on the carbon fibers by the $O_2$ plasma treatment, which enhanced adhesive strength between carbon fibers and epoxy, leading to improve wear properties

An experimental study is carried out for an aluminum foam heat sink attached to an isolated heat source to evaluate high potential of aluminum foam as a heat sink with impinging jets. The effects of the pore density and the height of the aluminum foam heat sink, the jet Reynolds number, and the nozzle diameter are delineated in comparison with a conventional pin type heat sink. It is found that the aluminum foam with small pores is inefficient for the heat transfer enhancement due to the large flow friction at the given porosity. In the parameter ranges of the present study, the change in the nozzle diameter shows no significant effects on the surface temperature of the aluminum foam heat sink at a given Reynolds number. The heat transfer enhancement is strongly dependent on the jet Reynolds number and shows a maximum value at a moderate Reynolds number.

Sapphire is a substrate material that is widely used in optical and electronic devices. However, the processing of sapphire into a substrate takes a long time owing to its high hardness and chemical inertness. In order to process the sapphire ingot into a substrate, ingot growth, multiwire sawing, lapping, and polishing are required. The lap grinding process using pellets is known as one of the ways to improve the efficiency of sapphire substrate processing. The lap grinding process ensures high processing efficiency while utilizing two-body abrasion, unlike the lapping process which utilizes three-body abrasion by particles. However, the lap grinding process has a high material removal rate (MRR), while its weakness is in obtaining the required surface roughness for the final polishing process. In this study, we examine the effects of free abrasives in lap grinding on the material removal characteristics of sapphire substrate. Before conducting the lap grinding experiments, it was confirmed that the addition of free abrasives changed the friction force through the pin-on-disk wear test. The MRR and roughness reduction rate are experimentally studied to verify the effects of free abrasive concentration on deionized water. The addition of free abrasives (colloidal silica) in the lap grinding process can improve surface roughness by three-body abrasion along with two-body abrasion by diamond grits.

Reactive DC magnetron sputtering 법으로 AISI 304 스테인레스강 기판 위에 TiN 극박막을 50nm∼700nm 두께로 증착한 후, 경화된 AISI 52100 강과 알루미나를 마모 상대재로 하여 박막의 미끄럼마모 시험을 상온 대기 중에서 행하고, 마모 상대재에 따른 TiN 극박막의 마찰과 마모 거동을 연구하였다. AISI 52100 강구를 마모 상대재로 한 경우, TiN 박막은 200g 이하의 마모 하중과 0.035m/sec의 낮은 미끄럼 속도 조건에서 500nm 내외의 극박으로도 마찰계수가 0.1 내외로 유지되는 우수한 내마모성을 보였다. 이같이 우수한 내마모성은 AISI 52100 강으로부터 천이된 Fe가 산화되어 TiN 박막 표면에 Fe 산화층을 형성한 때문으로 설명되었다. 그러나, 마모 상대재를 알루미나 볼로 한 경우에는 TiN 박막 위에 산화층이 형성되지 않고, 마모가 거의 되지 않는 알루미나 볼과 박막층 사이에 국부적 응력집중 등이 발생하여 시험된 전 조건 하에서 박막층의 박리 현상이 관찰되었고 높은 마찰계수가 측정되었다. 또한 기판의 평균 표면조도, Ra가 박막의 두께와 유사할 때 마찰계수가 급격히 상승하는 현상이 관찰되었다.
