A pin bush bearing is one of the most important element in the piston engine which is joined a piston to a connecting rod. A pin bush is suffered by heat and changeable repeat loads, which are come from the explosive gas heat and pressures during a reciprocating stroke. Therefore, a tribological behavior of pin bush bearings is very severe compared to other parts of a piston assembly. To keep a stable operation of pin bush bearings effectively, it would be satisfied with proper oil film strength for severe operating conditions and durability, which are strongly related to the oil film thickness, oil film pressure, and a friction loss power. The computed results show that the viscosity of engine oils slightly affects to the minimum oil film thickness and oil film pressure distribution, but is an influential parameter on a total friction loss power. Thus the low viscosity engine oils for an increased operation condition should select a high level of base oil and add a viscosity index improver as an oil film additive.

Of all of pneumatic components utilized in the make up of pneumatic circuits on either automatic assembly machine or industrial equipment, the pneumatic cylinder is more oriented toward being a structural as well as a pneumatic member. The structural design must be based to a large degree on the end of application of the cylinder on the equipment it is operating. In this paper, design studies of a double-acting pneumatic cushion type cylinder with low-friction and high-speed driving have been developed. Of interest here is to investigate the structural analysis of cylinder tube, piston rod, end cover, and to analyze the buckling of piston rod. Also, a relief valve type cushion mechanism is considered. This cushion mechanism is found to be adequate under a high-speed driving of pneumatic cylinders.

Of interest here is to investigate the stress and strain analysis of cylinder tube, piston rod, end cover, and to analyze the buckling of piston rod. A finite element analysis is carried out to compute the distribution of the displacement, stress and safety factors by using ANSYS. As a result, the structural safety factors of each parts in pneumatic cushion cylinder are evaluated and confirmed at the design specifications.

In this study we investigated the characteristics of fluid flow and heat transfer within a coolant passage in the cylinder head assembly of an internal combustion engine by using a commercial CFD code, CFX The complex coolant passage of the cylinder head assembly was modelled by suitable choice of a grid system and careful attention was paid in the construction of meshes near the walls where significant cooling occurs. To treat the simultaneous heating and cooling of the combustion walls we invented a methodology allowing a heat source within the solid wall and the convective cooling at the interface between the solid and the fluid. We managed to reproduce the experimental results by adjusting parameters appropriately. We have found that high temperature was concentrated at the surface of the cylinder jacket. It turned out that the effect of oil cooling from the piston head was unexpectedly significant. On the other hand the effect of cooling from the ambient air is almost negligible. The CFD method proposed in this study is believed to be useful in the early stage of the design of the engine-cooling system.

엔진 마찰 저감은 엔진 개발의 중요한 항목이 되어왔다. 엔진의 기계적 마찰 손실 중 피스톤계의 마찰이 40~55%에 해당하고, 피스톤 부분의 마찰을 제거할 수 있다면 투입되는 전체 에너지의 5% 정도 향상시킬 수 있다. 엔진의 마찰 손실을 감소시키기 위해서 각 요소에서의 마찰 수준, 이에 영향을 미치는 인자에 대한 분석 및 다른 엔진들과의 비교분석이 필요하다. 하지만 기존 연구에서 마찰이 발생하는 윤활막의 연구들이 유체역학 바탕의 모델링에서 수행해 왔으나, 피스톤계의 윤활막이 크게는 마이크로에서 작게는 나노단위의 영역에 해당하므로 분자들간의 상호관계를 고려할 필요가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 엔진 실린더 라이너를 따라 형성하는 유막의 운동을 미시적으로 접근하여 분자들간의 상호작용에 따른 마찰변화를 제시하고자 한다.

Seismic safety of continuous span concrete bridge can be enhanced by distributing a large seismic lateral load to each supporting pier. A new viscoelastic device called Shock Transmission Unit(STU), which is a simple cylinder-piston assembly packed with a so-called silicone putty compound, enables the lateral seismic load to be transmitted to the pier by installation of the device to movable bearings of the bridge. The seismic safety of concrete bridges having the STU depends on not only safety of the bridges globally but also safety of anchor systems which anchors the STU to concrete pier. An experimental investigation is performed to study the behavior of cast-in-place anchor and post-installed anchor subjected to shear load statically and cyclically according to different edge distance, embedment length, and anchor spacing. Finally, the experimental results are compared with results by design methods of ACI and CCD, and results by FEM analysis.

Parts and structures such as piston rod and knuckle joint for the use of hydraulic cylinder are often welded together in some fashion, usually due to cost and process effectiveness. Welding strongly affects the material by the process of heating and subsequent cooling as well as by the fusion process with additional filler material. Furthermore, a weld is usually far from being perfect, containing inclusions, pores, cavities, undercuts etc. As a consequence, fatigue failures appear in welded structures mostly at the welds rather than in the base metal, even if the latter contains notches. For this reason, fatigue analyses are of high practical interest for all welded structures under the action of cyclic loads. This paper describes the influence of welding parameters, material combinations and heat treatment on the fatigue behavior of welded cylinder rod. In addition, statistical characterization of stress-life response in weldment of hydraulic cylinder rod are presented.

Micro engine that includes Micro scale combustor is fabricated. Design target was focused on the observation of combustion driven actuation in MEMS scale. Combustor design parameters are somewhat less than the size recommended by feasibility test. The engine structure is fabricated by isotropic etching of the photosensitive glass wafers. Electrode formed by electroplating of the Nickel. Photosensitive glass can be etched isotropically with almost vertical angle. Bonding and assembly of structured photosensitive glass wafer form the engine. Combustor size was determined to be 1 mm scale. Movable piston is engraved inside the wafer. Ignition was done by nickel spark plug which was electroplated with thickness of 40 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The wafers were bonded by epoxy that resists high temperature. In firing test due to the bonding method and design tolerance pressure buildup by reaction was not confirmed. But ignition, flame propagation and actuation of micro structure from the reaction was observed. From the result basement of design and fabrication technology was obtained.

엔진에 터보차져를 사용하게 되면 엔진의 출력도 향상되지만 동시에 엔진의 온도도 높아지게 된다. 특히 피스톤의 경우는 냉각이 문제가 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 오일 젯을 사용하는데, 오일 젯은 오일을 피스톤의 밑 부분에 분사하여 피스톤을 냉각시키는 것이다. 오일 젯이 사용된다면, 오일의 분사로 인하여 오일 유량의 증가및 피스톤으로부터의 열전달에 의하여 높아진 오일 온도 문제를 해결하기 위하여 오일 펌프 용량 증대와 오일 쿨러의 사용이 필요하다. 그러나 용량 증대 오일 펌프와 오일 쿨러를 사용하면 엔진의 마찰 토크가 증가하는 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 오일 젯, 오일 쿨러 및 오일 펌프의 용량 증대로 인하여 엔진의 마찰 토크가 증가하는 정도에 대하여 연구하였다. 또한 각 부품의 사양을 변경함에 따라 마찰 토크가 얼마나 영향을 받는가도 측정되었다. 저속에서는 오일 펌프와 오일 쿨러에 의한 영향이 크고 고속에서는 오일 쿨러에 의한 영향이 큼을 알 수 있었다.
