Applying a general Galerkin FE lubrication analysis method to spiral groove dry gas seals, this study intends to analyze in detail the effects of groove design parameters, such as a spiral angle, groove width ratio, groove radius ratio, groove depth ratio, and groove taper ratio, on the lubrication performances of an opening force, leakage, axial stiffness and damping, and angular stiffness and damping at low and high rotating speeds: 3,600 and 15,000 nm. Results show that, for the primary design consideration performances such as the opening force and axial and angular stiffnesses, a spiral angle of $25^{\circ}$, a groove width ratio of 0.46, a groove radius ratio of 1.1, a groove depth ratio of 1.0, and a groove taper ratio of 0.0 are preferred. Where the recommended relatively low values of groove depth and taper ratios are to keep the axial and angular dampings positive or higher than 0 particularly at the high rotating speed.

Water on a road surface can lower the coefficient of friction of vehicle tires and it involves lots of risks. One way to prevent water from staying is to cut many "rain grooves" into the edges of the pavement parallel. Such grooves, however, can exert unwanted side forces, particularly on passenger tires, which cause "Groove Wander" making the drivers uncomfortable. The "Groove Wander" is somewhat related to vehicle geometry, but is more strongly related to interaction between road grooves and tire tread's longitudinal grooves. This thesis tries to examine principles to estimate "Groove Wandering" effect focusing on the design of longitudinal groove. Additionally, it studied how to reduce pipe resonance longitudinal grooves form in the contact patch.

Performance analysis has been carried out on a high side scroll compressor that had a fixed scroll equipped with a circular oil groove on its thrust surface. Oil was supplied to the oil groove through an intermittent opening from a high pressure oil reservoir formed inside the orbiting scroll hub. Oil in the groove was then delivered to both suction and back pressure chambers by pressure differentials and viscous pumping action of the orbiting scroll base plate. Mathematical modeling of this oil groove system was incorporated into a main compressor performance simulation program for an optimum oil groove design. The study findings were as follows. Pressure in the oil groove can be controlled by changing its configuration and the oil passage area. With an enlarged oil passage, the pressure in the oil groove heightens due to an increased flow rate, but the pressure elevation in the back pressure chamber is small, resulting in reduced friction loss at the thrust surface between the two scrolls. On the other hand, by increasing the oil passage area, the oil content in the refrigerant flow increases. Considering all these factors, the energy efficiency ratio could be improved by about 3.6% under the ARI condition by an optimal oil groove design.

This paper suggests a method to design the deep groove ball bearing for high-load capacity by using a genetic algorithm. The design problem of ball bearings is a typical discrete/continuous optimization problem because the deep groove ball bearing has discrete variables, such as ball size and number of balls. Thus, a genetic algorithm is employed to find the optimum values from a set of discrete design variables. The ranking process is proposed to effectively deal with the constraints in genetic algorithm. Results obtained fer several 63 series deep groove ball bearings demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed design methodology by showing that the average basic dynamic capacities of optimally designed bearings increase about 9~34% compared with the standard ones.

We propose a criterion which predicts wrinkle initiation on workpiece in groove rolling process based on finite element analysis. Fundamental idea introduced in the criterion is to examine the difference between flat rolling which don't' cause wrinkling at all and groove rolling which usually accompanies it. The proposed criterion assumes that irregular distribution of shear strain on workpiece during groove rolling is attributable to the initiation of wrinkling. The proposed criterion has been applied to roughing train in the rod and bar mill of SEAH BESTEEL Inc. A new design for 2nd pass (square roll groove) was suggested, machined and applied. Results reveal that the proposed criterion in this study could point out the location of wrinkle initiation during groove rolling and could reduce onset of wrinkle on final products.

본 논문은 LPG 충전노즐의 밀봉성능에 밀접한 관련을 맺고 있는 구형 그루브와 도브테일 그루브에 장착된 O-링의 최적화 설계를 위해 수행된 연구이다. O-링 그루브에 대한 최적설계 해석결과를 얻기 위해 비선형 유한요소해석 프로그램 MARC와 다구찌 설계법을 이용하였다. O-링을 최적의 조건으로 설치할 수 있도록 설계하기 위해 4개의 그루브 모델과 3개의 소재를 고려하였다. 그루브의 설계 파라미터로 폴리머 소재, 그루브의 깊이와 폭, O-링의 직경을 선정하였다. FEM 해석결과에 의하면, 최적설계에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 기여도는 O-링의 직경과 소재특성으로 그루브의 폭, 깊이, 압축률에 비하여 높다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 가스 공급압력 1.764MPa에 적합한 O-링을 안전하게 설치되어야 할구형 그루브는 모델 3이, 그리고 도브테일 그루브는 모델 4가 가장 우수한 것으로 해석되었다.

The sealing performance of O-rings is affected by working conditions such as applied pressure, operation temperature, pre-compressed ratio and material properties. In this paper, a pressurized and compressed elastomeric bi-polymer O-ring in which is inserted into a rectangular groove is analyzed by non-linear MARC finite element program based on the Taguchi experimental method. O-rings with 9 different profile models are analyzed for design parameters that are related to the diameter ratio between outer diameter and inner one of bi-polymer O-ring, compressive ratio, groove angle and groove depth. The calculated FEM results showed that the affection ratio of design parameter dlD, which may control sealing pressure of O-rings, is the most influential parameter among the groove angle, groove depth and compression ratio.
