Most machine element, such as gears and bearings, are operated in the mixed lubrication region. Contact between two asperities has an effect on machine life by increasing local pressure. To estimate fatigue lift exactly, asperity contact should be considered as a factor of fatigue liff because this happening produce friction, abrasion and make flash temperature. In this paper, asperity contact is considered as a result of film breakdown when lubricant pressure is not enough to separate two asperities. Contact pressure is calculated to asperity overlap region and added to lubricant pressure. For this model, numerical procedure is introduced and the result on surface roughness and velocity for wheel bearing is presented. Results of EHL analysis for wheel bearing show that asperity contact is occurred at the edge of EHL conjunction where has a insufficient lubricant pressure to separate two surface.

In this study, an ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) was used to improve the mechanical properties, scratch resistance and tribological performance of Cu-based bimetals, which are usually used to manufacture sliding bearings and bushings for internal combustion engines (ICEs). Two different Cu-based bimetals, namely CuPb10Sn10 and CuSn10Bi7, were sintered onto a low carbon steel substrate. The mechanical properties and dry tribological performance using a tensile tester and micro-tribo tester were evaluated, respectively. The scratch resistance was assessed using a micro-scratch tester at an incremental load. The tensile test results showed that the yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of both Cu-based bimetals increased after UNSM. Furthermore, the scratch and tribological tests results revealed that the scratch resistance and tribological performance of both Cu-based bimetals were improved by the application of UNSM. These improvements were mainly attributed to the eliminated pores, increased hardness and reduced roughness after UNSM. CuSn10Bi7 demonstrated better mechanical properties, scratch resistance and tribological performance than CuPb10Sn10. It was found that the presence of Bi in CuSn10Bi7 formed a Cu₁₁Bi₇ intermetallic phase, which is harder than Cu₃Sn. Hence, CuSn10Bi7 demonstrated higher strength and wear resistance than CuPb10Sn10. In addition, a CuSn10Bi7 formed both SnO₂ and Bi₂O₃ that prevented adhesion and improved the tribological performance. It can be expected that under dry tribological conditions, ICEs can utilize UNSM bearings and bushings made of CuSn10Bi7 instead of CuPb10Sn10 under oil-lubricated conditions.

This study analyzes the thermal effects on the performance of an air foil thrust bearing (AFTB) using COMSOL Multiphysics to approximate actual bearing behavior under real conditions. An AFTB is a sliding-thrust bearing that uses air as a lubricant to support the axial load. The AFTB consists of top and bump foils and supports the rotating disk through the hydrodynamic pressure generated by the wedge effect from the inclined surface of the top foil and the elastic deformation of the bump foils, similar to a spring. The use of air as a lubricant has some advantages such as low friction loss and less heat generation, enabling air bearings to be widely used in high-speed rotating systems. However, even in AFTB, the effects of energy loss due to viscosity at high speeds, interface frictional heat, and thermal deformation of the foil caused by temperature increase cannot be ignored. Foil deformation derived from the thermal effect influences the minimum decay in film thickness and enhances the film pressure. For these reasons, performance analyses of isothermal AFTBs have shown few discrepancies with real bearing behavior. To account for this phenomenon, a thermal-fluid-structure analysis is conducted to describe the combined mechanics. Results show that the load capacity under the thermal effect is slightly higher than that obtained from isothermal analysis. In addition, the push and pull effects on the top foil and bump foil-free edges can be simulated. The differences between the isothermal and thermal behaviors are discussed.

스턴튜브베어링(Stern tube bearing))은 축계장치에서 축 회전 시 마찰을 줄이고 축의 무게를 지지하는 주요한 역할을 하는 부품임에도 불구하고 국산화가 이루어지지 않아 전량 수입에 의존하고 있어 국산화 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이에 국산화를 위한 스턴튜브 베어링용 폴리우레탄 수지를 개발할 목적으로 경도, 인장강도, 신장률에 미치는 첨가제의 영향을 조사하였다. 기본적으로 경화제 종류에 따라 MOCA Type과 Non-MOCA Type으로 구분하여 각각 폴리우레탄을 합성하고, 기본적 물성을 확인한 결과, Non MOCA Type은 경도 23 D, 인장강도 4.3 Mpa로 본 연구의 목표치에 훨씬 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며, 반면에 MOCA Type의 폴리우레탄 수지는 기계적 강도가 높은 것으로 나타나 전반적으로 MOCA Type의 폴리우레탄수지를 기본 수지로 사용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 기본적인 폴리우레탄 수지의 합성은 폴리올에 MOCA를 23.0 wt%로 첨가하고, 1차 경화는 $110^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 경화하고, $110^{\circ}C$에서 15시간 2차 경화를 하여 수지를 제조하였다. 첨가제로는 그래파이트, 칼슘카보네이트, 카본블랙, 실리카를 각각 사용하여, 이들 첨가제의 종류와 첨가량에 따라 경도, 인장강도, 신장률에 미치는 효과에 대한 실험을 수행하여 실리카를 첨가한 폴리우레탄 수지는 경도, 인장강도가 비교적 우수하면서도 신장률도 다소 증가하는 폴리우레탄 수지를 제조할 수 있었다.

항타말뚝은 진동과 소음같은 환경적인 문제점이 있다. 특히 대상 토질이 자갈, 호박돌, 풍화암으로 구성되어있다면 항타말뚝의 적용은 불가능하기 때문에 우리나라에서는 현장말뚝의 적용이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 일반적으로 이론적인 공식에 의한 현장타설말뚝의 지지력은 과소하게 산정되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제안된 국내외 지지력 산정식과 현장시험을 통한 실측데이터를 비교하기위해 광안대로와 수영 3호교의 암반에 근입된 현장 타설말뚝에 대한 정재하시험을 수행하였으며, 현장타설말뚝의 주변마찰력을 측정하기 위하여 변위계를 설치하였다. 현장시험을 통한 현장타설말뚝의 거동은 반복하중 재하시 완전한 탄성거동을 보였으므로 이는 실제말뚝의 극한지지력에 도달하지 못하였음을 입증한다. 이때 측정된 말뚝의 지지력이 이론식에 의하여 산정된 지지력보다 크게 산정되었다. 또한 실험에서 측정된 결과에 의하면 현장타설말뚝의 주된 지지력이 선단지지력이 아닌 주변마찰저항에 의한 것이라는 것을 보였다. 그리고 이와같은 결과에 의거하여 현장타설말뚝의 설계에 대한 몇가지 제안들을 도출하였다.

Mechanical surface treatment is an excellent approach widely used to modulate and improve the performance and service life of bearings, gears, and frictional joints. The main purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effect of ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) and wonder process craft (WPC) on the surface and tribological properties of SUJ2 bearing steel. The surface roughness and hardness of the untreated and treated (UNSM- and WPC-treated) specimens were measured and compared. Their tribological properties were evaluated using a micro-tribometer under grease-lubricated and dry conditions against itself. Surface hardness measurement results revealed that both the UNSM- and WPC-treated specimens had a higher hardness than that of the untreated specimen. The surface roughness of the untreated specimen was reduced after UNSM and WPC treatments. Abrasive wear mode was observed on the surface of the specimens worn under grease-lubricated conditions, while adhesive wear mode was found on the surface of the specimens worn in dry conditions. According to the tribological test results, the friction coefficient and wear rate of the untreated specimens were reduced by the application of both the UNSM and WPC treatments under grease-lubricated and dry conditions.

Surface texturing is widely applied to friction surfaces of various machine elements. Most of the theoretical studies have focused on isothermal (ISO) analyses which consider constant lubricant viscosity. However, there have been limited studies on the effect of oil temperature increase owing to viscous shear. Following the first part of the present study that investigated the effects of film-temperature boundary condition (FTBC) and groove number on the thermohydrodynamic (THD) lubrication characteristics of a surface-textured parallel thrust bearing with multiple rectangular grooves, this study focuses on the effect of groove depths. Current study numerically analyzes the continuity, Navier-Stokes, and energy equations with temperature-viscosity-density relations using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, FLUENT. The results of variation in temperature, velocity, and pressure distributions as well as load-carrying capacity (LCC) and friction force indicate that groove depth and FTBC significantly influence the temperature distribution and pressure generation. The LCC is maximum near the groove depth at which the vortex starts, smaller than the ISO result. For intense grooves, the LCC of THD may be larger than that from ISO. The frictional force decreases as the groove becomes deeper, and decreases more significantly in the case of THD. The study shows that groove depth significantly influences the THD lubrication characteristics of surface-textured parallel thrust bearings.

In this study, analysis and experiments were carried out on temperature distributions and thermal deformations in a dry vacuum pump with vertical screws for safe operation. When a vacuum pump is working, it is necessary to get rid of the heat generated by the friction of bearings and the compression of air to prevent the vacuum pump from being damaged by interference between two screws and housing through thermal deformation. Additional cooling was proposed by using oil flow through the inner channel of the rotating axis for lower temperature control of the vacuum pump. Analysis and experimental results were compared in terms of temperature distribution and thermal deformation of the vacuum pump, and two sets of results matched reasonably well. These results for a dry vacuum pump with vertical screws can be used in similar model development and can minimize errors in design and manufacture by providing reasonably accurate prediction in advance.
