The lubrication modes of line contact between the vane and the camring in an oil hydraulic vane pump have been investigated. First, variations of the radial acting force of a vane were calculated from previously measured results of the dynamic internal pressure in four chambers surrounding a vane. Next, distinctions of the lubrication modes were made using Hooke's chart, which represents an improvement over Johnson's chart. Finally, the influence of boundary conditions in the lubrication region on fluid film lubrication was examined by calculating film pressure distributions. The results show that the lubrication modes of the vane tip are a rigid-variable viscosity region. This region discharges pressure higher than 7 MPa, and exerts a great influence on oil film pressure in the large arc section due to the Piezo-viscous effect.

A new type squeeze film damper is proposed and its dynamic characteristics are investigated experimentally. The new one has a pulsating flow supply system which properly adds high pressure oil to the oil film of the damper so that the rotor vibration can be controlled actively. As the result, the amplitude of the rotor vibration can be reduced considerably. The algorithm which compensates the phase lag of servo valve as well as the high-performance servo valve are required in order that a new type squeeze film damper can be more effective device to attenuate the rotor vibration than typical one.

This paper describes the variation of lubricant's temperature effects on elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The Newton-Raphson technique was used to solve the simultaneous system of Reynolds and elasticity equations. To show effects of lubricant's temperature, average temperature across the oil film was calculated using the energy equation. Pressure distribution, film shape, and temperature distribution were obtained for fully flooded conjunctions, and various dimensionless speed parameters while load and material parameters were held constant. Minimum film thickness were obtained for various material properties while load and velocity were held constant. It is drawn that the thermal effects have a strong influence on a minimum film thickness under high rolling velocity and slip ratio.

Engine bearing system is generally affected by aeration. In this paper, the aeration effects on the engine crankshaft bearing system were studied. To do this, unsteady oil flow analysis on the engine crankshaft oil circuit system was carried out. And aeration effects on the bearing system were simulated to figure out lubrication characteristics of the each bearing such as oil flow rate, minimum oil film thickness, friction loss and increase of oil temperature.

Fibers of microbial polyesters, poly(3-hydroxy butyrate) (PHB) and poly(3-hydroxy butyrate-co-3-hydroxy valerate) (HB-co-HV) were prepared by electrospinning method. The obtained fibers were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and oil absorption. The formation of fibers was strongly dependent on a concentration of solution. At a low concentration, the fibers contained beads which is from aggregation of polymer due to short evaporation time. The fine fibers with $2-5{\mu}m$ diameter were obtained at 20 wt% concentration. The contact angle measurement showed that the fiber had higher water contact angle than the film due to the lotus-like effect. Oil absorbency showed that the fiber had higher than the film. Specially, the HB-co-HV fiber which was spinned from 20 wt% absorbed 65% oil which is much higher than that of a normal polypropylene-based oil paper.

Bacillus subtilis C9 was selected by measuring the oil film-collapsing activity and produced biosurfactant in a medium containing glucose as a sole carbon source. The biosurfactant emulsified hydrocarbons, vegetable oils and crude oil, and lowered the surface tension of culture broth to 28 dyne/cm. A biosurfactant, C9-BS produced by B. subtilis C9 was purified by ultrafiltration, extraction with chloroform and methanol, adsorption chromatography, and preparative reversed phase HPLC. Structural analyses, IR spectroscopy, FAB mass spectroscopy, amino acid composition, and NMR analyses, demonstrated that C9-BS was a lipopeptide comprising a fatty acid tail and peptide moiety. The lipophilic part consisting of $C_{14}\;or\;C_{15}$ hydroxy fatty acid was linked to the hydrophilic peptide part, which contained seven amino acids (Glu-Leu-Leu-Val-Asp-Leu-Leu) with a lactone linkage.

MoS$_{2}$ bonded film was applied to reduction gears, and its lubricating properties were experimentally evaluated in terms of the power transmission efficiency and the frictional noise with a dynamo-typed gear test rig. Tests were performed in both oil lubrication and dry condition where the rotating velocity and loading torque were varied. In dry condition, MoS$_{2}$ bonded films effected the power transmission efficiency to increase about 5%, and the frictional noise level to decrease about 6 dB under the test operating conditions. It well proved that MoS$_{2}$ bonded films were a very effective solid lubricant for reduction gears. In oil lubricating conditions, the frictional properties of the coated gears were mainly governed by the lubricating oil, and lubricating effects of MoS2 bonded films were not evident. The result suggested that lubricating effect of MoS$_{2}$ bonded films would be limited to prevent a damage of reduction gears in the initial run when they were used in oil lubrication conditions.

The surface roughness between a piston ring pack and a cylinder liner directly affects the fuel economy, the oil consumption, and the emission of the engine so that it is very important to clarify the surface roughness effects on the lubrication characteristics. The friction characteristics of the piston ring during engine operations are known to as mixed lubrication experimentally. In this study to simulate the effects of the surface roughness of the piston ring pack on the lubrication characteristics, the mixed lubrication analysis of piston rings was performed using the simplified average Reynolds equation. From the results the surface roughness was found be considerably affects minimum oil film thickness as well as FMEP(Friction Mean Effective Pressure). Especially, the oil ring was the most sensitive on the surface roughness.

The Lubricational characteristics of O/W Emulsions of beef tallow and mineral oil based lubricants are studied in a roller on disk apparatus. It is revealed that the coefficients of friction with both emulsion lubricants exhibit essentially similar behavior; that is, they rapidly decrease to 0.1% concentration and after they constants with increasing oil concentration, and that, with oil in water emulsions of a concentrations as low as 5wt% practically forms a elastohydrodynamic film. One hand, surface temperature effect on lubricants has virtually no severe, and that, the minimum EHL film chickness estimated that it begins to increase at a concentration of several percent; the effect of particle diameter becomes maked there after.

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.
