This paper presents a tribological study on the failure cases of automatic transmission components in a passenger car. The automatic transmission system is composed of torque converter, clutch, brake, planetary gear, and valve body controlling oil pressure of an automatic transmission fluid. The most largest influence components in an automatic transmission are a torque converter and clutch plate in which are influenced by a wear and torque converting energy loss. The failure case study of an automatic transmission indicates that the tribological design and maintenance technologies should be considered as a key design concept. This means that the failure and power energy loss come from the friction, wear and a oil leakage of an automatic transmission, which is related to the oil seal and O-ring seal failures.

원전 계통에서는 gas circulator, fuel handling system 등에 수 천여 개의 봉합(seal) 부위가 존재하며, 그 형상 또한 5 mm 에서부터 600 mm로 다양하다. 이러한 sealing 재료는 사용온도가 유리전이온도 이상인 열가소성 수지이며, 유연성 있는 segment의 조합으로 자유운동을 가지게 되는데 이러한 구조는 비교적 낮은 방사선 선량에 대해 취약하며, 원전계통에서는 NBR 및 ethylene-propylene 계열의 높은 내방사선 특성을 가지는 O-ring이 주로 사용되어지며, 10년을 교체시기로 주기적으로 교체하는 실정이다[2]. 이러한 seal 부위는 공정 전체에 걸쳐 다양한 열화요인에 노출되며, 최대 20$0^{\circ}C$의 온도, 압력 40 bar, 연간 1Gy~1MGy의 방사선에 노출된다.(중략)

The purpose of this paper is to study and analyze the failure examples on tribological characteristics of an automotive steering system. In this failure study, the grease leakage may stick leaked grease, dust, and wear particles between pinion and rack gears in mechanical steering system. In the case of seal failures such as a rod seal, o-ring and oil seals, the gear box and oil pump do not operate properly due to lack of oils. This means that oil pump does not supply a working fluid and produce a normal oil pressure of the steering system. This leads to leak a working fluid from the seals and produce a wear between pinion and rack gears. Especially, the leaked oil is usually mixed with internal wear particles and foreign dust/fine sands. Thus no leakage of working oils is very important design concepts, which is strongly related to the sealing components and smoothly operating of the mechanical friction parts of power steering system.

착체중합법을 이용하여 $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-{\delta}}$ 조성의 산화물을 합성하였으며, 합성된 분말은 압축 성형 후 $1080^{\circ}C$에서 소결하여 치밀한 페롭스카이트 분리막을 제조하였다. 밀봉 재료로 gold ring, Pyrex ring 및 Pyrex 분말을 사용하여 가스누출 실험을 수행하였다. $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-{\delta}}$ 분리막의 산소투과량 분석결과 온도가 증가함에 따라 산소투과량은 증가하였고, $900^{\circ}C$에서 $0.74mL/min{\cdot}cm^2$의 값을 나타내었다. $950^{\circ}C$에서 밀봉 재료에 따른 투과 특성 분석 결과, gold ring을 이용할 경우 높은 산소투과량을 보인 반면, Pyrex를 밀봉재로 사용할 경우 낮은 투과량을 보였다. 이는 Pyrex를 밀봉재로 이용할 경우 분리막 표면으로 유리가 침투하여 유효 산소투과면적을 감소시켰기 때문이며, 광화학 현미경 분석으로 Pyrex 유리의 확산 침투를 확인하였다.

The friction and wear properties of ceramics are very important in the applications to engineering ceramic parts such as seal rings, pump parts, automobile meter parts, and so on. In this study, the effects of each other purity on the mechanical and tribological properties of purity zirconia ceramics were investigated. Also in order to determine the effects of sliding distance, sliding speed, contact load, friction coefficient, the amount of worn out material at a certain time, and the prepared composites were measured. Crystalline phases and microstructure were examined with XRD and SEM. The results show that we obtained the good properties of friction coefficient and wear resistance at the purity 99.5% of zirconia. than this of the purity 95% were great at the wear amount of worn out material.

In the present study, degradation characteristics of pumps in nuclear power plants were investigated to provide the information of degradation mechanism and stressors. The failure records of pumps for the periods 2000 to 2006 on INPO(Institute of Nuclear Power Operations) EPIX(Equipment Performance and Information Exchange System) DB were reviewed. The 1,834 failure records reveal that the critical areas of pump failures are bearing, mechanical seal, gasket/o-ring, shaft, impeller, coupling and packing. Based on the failure rate of critical areas, the important degradation mechanism and stressors were determined. Additionally, the relationship between degradation mechanism and stressors such as wear was examined. Finally, the monitoring parameters related to degradation and stressors were discussed for the future development of degradation evaluation and prognosis technology of pumps.

A probabilistic based systems approach is addressed in this study for the reliability prediction of solid rocket motors (SRM). To achieve this goal, quantitative Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) approach is employed to determine the reliability of components, which are integrated into the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to obtain the system reliability. The quantitative FMECA is implemented by burden and capability approach when they are available. Otherwise, the semi-quantitative FMECA is taken using the failure rate handbook. Among the many failure modes in the SRM, four most important problems are chosen to illustrate the burden and capability approach, which are the rupture, fracture of the case, and leak due to the jointed bolt and O-ring seal failure. Four algorithms are employed to determine the failure probability of these problems, and compared with those by the Monte Carlo Simulation as well as the commercial code NESSUS for verification. Overall, the study offers a comprehensive treatment of the reliability practice for the SRM development, and may be useful across the wide range of propulsion systems in the aerospace community.

This paper presents the kinematic and dynamic analysis of the robot arm for inspection and rescue operations. The inspection robot arm has Pitch-Pitch-Pitch-Yaw motion for an optimal and stable view of the camera installed at the end of the manipulator. The rescue operation robot arm has Yaw-Pitch-Pitch-Roll motion to handle heavy tools. Additionally, both robot arms are waterproof, as they use the triple-layer O-ring. Furthermore, the dynamic equation including the damping force due to the mechanical seal for waterproofness was derived by using the Newton-Euler method. A control system using the ARM processor was developed and introduced in this paper, and its performance was verified through experiments.

오링을 사용하지 않고 기밀을 유지할 수 있는 점화안전장치용 격벽 착화모듈을 설계하였다. 격벽 착화모듈은 도우너 화약에 의해 발생한 충격파가 격벽을 통해 억셉터 화약에 전달되었을 때 동작한다. 격벽 착화모듈의 구조적 안전성을 구조해석을 통해 확인하였고 점화 성능은 10cc 밀폐용기 시험을 통하여 검증하였다. 동작시험 결과를 토대로 통계적 처리방법인 Probit Method를 이용하여 신뢰도 분석을 하였다. 신뢰도 분석 결과를 통하여 격벽 착화모듈의 중요한 설계변수인 격벽두께를 결정하였다.
