It is currently well known that surface textures act as lubricant reservoirs, entrap wear debris, and hydrodynamic bearings, which can lead to certain increases in load-carrying capacities. Until recently, the vast majority of research has focused on parallel sliding machine components such as thrust bearings, mechanical face seals, piston rings, etc. However, most sliding bearings have a convergent film shape in the sliding direction and their hydrodynamic pressure is mainly generated by the wedge action. Following the first part of the present study that investigates the effect of groove position on the lubrication performances of inclined slider bearings, this paper focuses on the effects of groove depths and film thicknesses. Using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT, the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are numerically analyzed. The results show that the film thickness and groove depth have a significant influence on the pressure distribution. The maximum pressure occurs at the groove depth where the vortex is found and, as the depth increases, the pressure decreases. There is also a groove depth to maximize the supporting load with the film thickness. The friction force acting on the slider decreases with deeper grooves. Therefore, properly designed groove depths, depending on the operating conditions, can improve the load-carrying capacity of inclined slider bearings as compared to the bearings without a groove.

케이징 구조 유연성을 고려한 30톤 추력급 터보펌프에 대한 임계 속도 해석이 수행되었다. 로터와 케이징을 포함한 전체 모델에 대한 3차원 유한요소법이 회전체 동역학 특성을 예측하기 위하여 적용되었다. 케이징 구조 유연성의 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 로터 단독 모델과 고정-고정 및 자유-자유 경계조건을 갖는 로터-케이징 연계 모델에 대한 수치 해석이 이루어 졌다. 무부하 하중 조건과 부하 하중 조건에서의 볼 베어링 강성이 각각 진공 조건과 실제 엔진 장착 조건에서의 작동을 모사하기 위하여 사용되었다. 수치해석 결과로부터 케이징 구조 유연성의 영향이 터보펌프의 임계 속도를 감소시킴을 확인하였다. 특히, 높은 베어링 강성을 갖는 부하 로터 조건에서 낮은 베어링 강성을 갖는 무부하 로터 조건에 비하여 더 많은 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of a HDD spindle system due to the imperfect roundness of a rotating shaft. The shaft of a spindle motor rotates with eccentricity by the unbalanced mass of the rotating part. The eccentricity generates the run-out of a spindle motor which results in the eccentric motion of a rotating part. Roundness of a shaft affects this motion which limits the memory capacity of a HDD. This research proposes a modified Reynolds equation for the coupled journal and thrust FDBs to include the variable film thickness due to the roundness. 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 characterize the motion of a rotating part. This research shows that the roundness of a rotating shaft causes the excitation frequency with integer multiple of a rotating frequency.

30톤 추력급 터보펌프에 대한 회전체 동역학 해석이 수행되었다. 연료펌프와 터빈에 의해서 유발되는 공력 및 수력 하중이 볼 베어링과 비접촉식 실의 강성 및 감쇠 예측을 위하여 고려되었다. 임계 속도의 분리 안전 여유와 회전체 부품의 팁 변위를 예측하기 위하여 임계 속도 해석과 질량 불평형 응답 해석이 수행되었다. 정확한 해석을 위하여 3차원 유한요소법을 사용하였고 1차원 전달함수 행렬법의 결과와 비교하였다. 탄성 링을 추가적으로 장착함으로써 베어링 지지부의 강성 제어를 통하여 충분한 공진 분리 여유의 확보가 가능함을 확인하였다.

Recently, several attempts have been made to apply high Tc superconductor bearings of thrust type to flywheel energy storage system (FESS) throughout the world. Radial type superconductor bearings, however, have never been tried to the real FESS. KEPRI has developed its own radial type bearings and is now currently applying them to a FESS designed by KIMM, for the first time. In this paper preliminary test results of bearing performance and dynamic behavior of the flywheel rotor system mounted on them are presented. The dynamic properties, i.e, stiffness and damping, of the superconductor bearings were experimentally estimated using the static loading test as well as the impact test. The test revealed that stiffness value of the present superconductor bearings is about 67,700N/m and the damping value 29Ns/m. It was also found out that these bearings have some levitation drift problems due to excessive vibrations encountered while passing through the critical speeds. With recommend backup bearings to limit the vibration amplitudes of the rotor it is predicted that the flywheel rotor will show stable operations in the design speed range.

This paper addresses the development of a scroll expander for power generation from relatively low temperature steam source. It has a double-sided orbiting scroll member so that no thrust bearing is needed to support the base plate of the orbiting scroll. Three power transmission shafts are placed at the periphery of the orbiting scroll base plate, and these shafts can also function as anti-rotation devices. Final output is obtained from the main central shaft engaged with the three power transmission shafts through gear assembly. The clearance between the fixed and orbiting scroll elements was estimated by comparing measurement of the mass flow rate with calculation results of a computer simulation. Due to large clearance, the expander total and volumetric efficiencies were measured to be $34\%\;and\;43\%$, respectively. It has been shown through the computer simulation that the total and volumetric efficiencies could be improved to $65\%\;and\;83\%$, respectively, if the current clearance is reduced by half.

It has been recognized that friction coefficient decreased with decreasing viscosity of oil in lubrication. In general, the more viscosity decreases, the more wear rate increases due to decrease load carrying capacity. It has been proposed that nano particles in oil decrease friction coefficient and wear rate. The purpose of this study is to apply oil of lower viscosity that mix with nano particles at the compressor used in a refrigerator to decrease friction coefficient keeping Load carrying capacity. Mineral oil of 8 cSt were used and mixed with nano particle. Friction coefficient was evaluated by a disk-on-disk tester. As a result, friction coefficient of nano oil decreased by 90% in comparison with raw oil. These results lead us to the conclusion that nano oil is new plan to raise efficiency of the compressor.

리니어 펄스 모터(LPM, Linear Pulse Motor)는 고정자와 가동자 사이의 공극에 미세한 치 피치로 되어 있기 때문에 고정밀의 유연한 선형운동을 필요로 하는 분야에 적합하다. 리니어 펄스모터의 힘과 위치는 치 피치, 공극 영구자석 및 여자전류에 의해서 민감하게 영향을 받는다. 따라서 LPM은 힘 특성을 해석하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 공극에서 힘 계산을 위하여 퍼미언스법을 적용하였다. LPM의 공극은 공압베어링에 의해서 발생된 압력으로 부상된다. 간단한 공압과 퍼미언스법은 일정 조건에서 공극을 계산하는 데 사용되었다. 따라서 최대로 이용할 수 있는 힘은 공극의 가변에 대한 자기수반 에너지법으로부터 구하였으며, 또한 수직력과 선형 추력은 미세 변위 1[mm]로부터 얻을 수 있었다.
