If the lost energy produced by a propeller can be partially recovered, the propulsive efficiency can be increased, and the fuel consumption reduced. The devices installed for this purpose are called Energy Saving Devices, of which the Contra-Rotating Propeller system is one of the most effective devices. The first problem to be solved to install the Contra-Rotating Propeller system on a large ship is that the mean pressure generated in the journal bearing needs to meet the design criteria of the classifications. In Korea, however, the practical use is being delayed because it cannot overcome this step. The next step is to lower local pressure to increase the reliability. In this study, to solve the mean pressure problem as the first step of practical use, a product carrier with a short stern shape was selected to reduce the weight of the shafting system, and a suitable shafting-system design plan was proposed. Shaft analysis confirmed that the mean pressure of 0.8 MPa (8 bar), which is a design criterion of the classifications for a journal bearing lining material (white metal), was satisfied. In addition, the necessity of reducing the local pressure was also confirmed.

The aim of this paper is to propose an energy harvesting system by converting mechanical energy of revolving door into electrical energy. The method of energy harvesting system is discussed on two methods: one is the energy-harvester using gear shaft coupling system, and the other is the energy-harvester using spiral spring system. The former is generated by coupling the shaft of rotating door with generator system, while the latter is generated by connecting end-effector of door with the string of generator system. We present the experimental results for two developed energy-harvester. Finally, a comparison between these results is presented to show the validity of energy-harvester.

A rotor system is composed of a rotating shaft with supporting bearings. The rotor system is widely used in every rotating machinery such as the turbine generator and the high precision machine tools. A negligible error or malfunction in the rotor, however, can cause a catastrophic failure in the system then result in the environmental and economic disasters. A diagnosis of the rotor system is important in preventing these kinds of failures and disasters. Up to now, many researchers have devoted in the development of diagnosing tools for the system. The basic principles behind the tools are to retrieve the data through the sensors for a specific state of the system and then to identify the specific state through the heuristic methods such as neural network, fuzzy logic, and decision matrix. The proper usage of the heuristic methods will enhance the performance of the diagnostic procedure when together used with the statistical signal processing. In this paper, the methodologies in using the above 3 heuristic methods for the diagnostics of the rotor system are established and also tested and validated for the data retrieved from the rolling element bearing and journal bearing supported system.

본 논문은 선박의 축계마력 측정방법 및 측정시스템의 개발방법에 대해 논의한다. 엔진 축계에서의 정확한 출력은 선박의 사용목적, 관련추진축계의 제작 및 설치비용 등과 밀접한 관련을 맺고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동력 전달측과 부하측사이의 축상에 두 개의 기어휠을 설치하고 각각의 기어휠에 비접촉식 검출기를 부착하여 위상을 계측한다. 동력이 가해질 경우 두 지점에서는 비틀림 각에 의한 위상차가 발생하게 되고, 발생된 위상차를 전압신호로 검출하여 축에서의 마력을 계산하게 된다.

This parer was presented for the experimental results of torsional vibrations of the horizontal rotating shaft with three disks. The torsional vibrations meter used is a laser system for non-contact measurement of torsional angular vibration velocity and torsional angular vibration displacement. The distance between the disks war changed; the one that had 76mm of disk distance war called basic model, and another that had 106mm of disk distance wide model, and other that had 46mm of disk distance narrow model. In each model, outer diameter of disk was 40mm. And 45mm, or 50mm was also used to extend the effective range of frequencies. The angula vibration displacement and the angular vibration velocity in its torsional vibration were measured to obtain the stable and the unstable regions.

2-stroke marine diesel engine has generally one exhaust valve and three fuel injection nozzle which are key component for engine's performance and combustion. Fuel injection and exhaust valve driving system are driven by rotating of camshaft. Rotation of crank shaft drives the cam shaft through gear train that is composed of $3{\sim}4$ gear wheels. Gear column supporting the gear wheel has to bear against the dynamics forces by engine running as well as gearing forces. In this paper, structural analysis for engine structure and fatigue strength assessment of welded joint is shown. Repeatedly full cyclic simulation during one cycle is performed to investigate the structural behavior of engine. Fatigue analysis is carried out based on IIW using submodeling technique to obtain more detailed stress distribution.

The hydrodynamic bearing is accepted in many rotating systems because it has a large load carrying capacity. But the anisotropic pressure distribution of the bearing can arise the unstable vibration phenomenon over a certain speed. The magnetic bearing is an active element so that the unstable phenomenon of the hydrodynamic bearing, which is induced by the anisotropic support pressure of the oil film, can be controlled if the control algorithm and the controller gains are chosen appropriately. In this study, we investigate the stabilization method of the hydrodynamic bearing system composing the hybrid bearing which is the single unit of hydrodynamic bearing and magnetic bearing. The load carrying conditions of the hybrid bearing is modelled by the sum of the stiffness and damping coefficients of the hydrodynamic and the magnetic bearings in each direction. The dynamics of the rotor is analyzed by the Finite Element Method and the stability limit is determined by the eigenvalues of the hybrid bearings and shaft system. The eigenvalue study of the system shows that the stability limit of the hybrid bearing is increased compared to that of the hydrodynamic bearing. A Small increment of the stiffness and damping coefficient of the hybrid bearings by the magnetic actuators can increase the stability limit of the system. In this paper we tried to show the design references of the hybrid bearings by using the nondimensional bearing parameters. The analysis results show the possibilities of the stability limit increment of the hydrodynamic bearing system by combining the magnetic bearing.

This paper investigates the dynamic characteristics of a tilted HDD spindle system with fluid dynamic bearings (FDBs). Tilting motion of a HDD spindle system may be caused by improper manufacturing tolerance, such as imperfect cylindricity between shaft and sleeve of FDBs, imperfect perpendicularity between shaft and thrust as well as the gyroscopic moment of the unbalanced mass of the rotating part. Tilting motion may result in the instability of the HDD spindle system and it may increase the disk run-out to limit memory capacity. This research proposes a modified Reynolds equation for the coupled journal and thrust FDBs to include the variable film thickness due to the cylindricity and the perpendicularity. Finite element method is used to solve the Reynolds equation for the pressure distribution. Reaction forces and friction torque are obtained by integrating the pressure and shear stress, respectively. The dynamic behavior is determined by solving the equations of a motion of a HDD spindle system in six degrees of freedom with the Runge-Kutta method to study whirling and tilting motions. This research shows that the cylindricity and the perpendicularity increase the tilting angle and whirl radius of the rotor.

A 3-D.O.F. spherical PM motor has 3 degrees of freedom in its motion by tilting and rotating of a shaft, which can be applied in a range of fields. The back-EMF is proportional to the field flux and angular velocity. The back-EMF constant in conventional rotating machine has a uniform value. However, in a spherical PM motor, the back-EMF constant of the coils varies according to the tilting conditions regardless of whether the angular speed is constant. Consideration of the back-EMF constant is useful for designing 3-D.O.F. spherical PM motors. In this study, the back-EMF constant of the spherical PM motor was considered carefully.
