The porous matterials are used both to control the flow of the compressed gas and to serve as the bearing surface. This porous design offers several advantages over the conventional externally pressurized gas bearings. It can simplify the construction, lower the gas consumption, and make the cleaning of the gas supply less critical. Test apparatus was cinstructed to experi- mentally investigate maximum load capacity of thrust bearing was measured 200 Kg (15Kg/$\mu$m), and radial bearing was 36 Kg/$\mu$m. And a rotation accuracy of face waving was 0.0127$\mu$m, and center waving was measured 0.5 $\mu$m. Finally, the use of this method of design and manufacturing will contribute to many practical application in the field required for precision and high stability.

In this paper, the steady-state performances analysis of a tilting pad gas bearing(TPGB) we analyzed by using finite element method for compressible Reynolds' equation. TPGB is used in a high-expansion-ratio expander running at a speed of 230,000 rpm. In order to solve the nonlinear finite element equations, the Newton-Raphson method is applied. The variations of the loading capacity, friction force and tilting angle of a single pad v.s. eccentricity direction of eccentricity and bearing number are investigated. The condition for the equilibrium of a pad, which is important for safe working of the bearing, is stated. The performances of the three pad bearing such as loading capacity, friction moment are predicted.

The performance of the ultra-precision machine tools depends on the steady state characteristics of the main spindle bearings. For excluding the effect of machining error with perpendicularity, conical or spherical bearing has been used. In this paper, steady analysis of the externally pressurized conical gas bearing for ultraprecision is carried out based on the direct numerical method with assumption of point source. As a result of theoretical analysis, design parameters for optimal condition of conical gas bearing are' presented in dimensionless form.

For excluding the effect of machining error such as perpendicularity, conical and spherical bearing has been used. In this paper, dynamic characteristics of the externally pressurized conical gas bearing for untraprecision main spindle is carried out based on the direct numerical method with assumption of point source. As a result of theoretical analysis, it is verified that coupled stiffness and damping exist and new design parameters for optimal condition of conical gas bearing are presented in dimensionless form.

In this paper it is intended to set-up a sound model of the 60,000rpm 100kW prototype APU gas turbine rotor-bearing system, and particularly to investigate the influences of the tie shaft on the rotordynamic characteristics of the entire APU gas turbine rotor-bearing system, employing the dual shaft model. Firstly, a mock-up APU rotor has been constructed to test and verify the model. Analytical natural frequency results have agreed with the corresponding modal test ones to within 5% difference. Then, the rotordynamic characteristics of the prototype APU rotorbearing system have been investigated. Natural vibration and unbalance response analyses results have shown that the inner tie shaft resonance can cause high enough vibration of the outer main rotor shaft. This could be a concern as the rotor journals operate on very thin air film at high speed. It is concluded as a conservative design practice that the inner tie shaft should be explicitly modeled in the rotordynamic analysis of the APU rotor-bearing system.

In this study, a three-pad gas foil journal bearing with a diameter of 40 mm and an axial length of 35 mm was modeled to predict the static and dynamic performances with regard to an increasing mechanical preload. The Reynolds equation for an isothermal and isoviscous ideal gas was coupled with a simple elastic foundation foil model to calculate the hydrodynamic pressure solution iteratively. In the prediction results, the journal eccentricity, journal attitude angle, and minimum film thickness decreased, but the friction torque increased with the preload. A quick comparison implied a lower load capacity but higher stability for a three-pad gas foil bearing compared to a one-pad gas foil journal bearing. The direct stiffness coefficients increased with the preload, but the cross-coupled stiffness coefficients decreased. The direct damping coefficient increased in the horizontal direction but decreased in the vertical direction as the preload increased. These model predictions will be useful as a benchmark against experimental test data.

The lubrication characteristics of high-speed ball bearings have been investigated empirically using 45mm bore split inner ring ball bearings employed in small industrial gas turbine engines with oil-jet lubrication method. For the close structural simulation, experiments carried out with bearing mounting supports of real engines, such as bearing housings and oil nozzle assemblies with squeeze film dampers. Thus the results of tests can be directly applied to the design and the development of gas turbine engines. Testing was done by varying operating speeds, axial load on bearings, and lubricant flow rates. During testing, the temperature of bearing at outer-ring face, the power consumption of the driving motor, and the rotating resistance of the bearing were measured. From this study, the representative factors for lubrication characteristics at high speed was found, and the most important one was not operating speed but axial load up to 1.95 million dmN speed and 2969 N axial load. Furthermore, the detailed variation of the rotational resistance of the bearing could be visualized by measuring the change of the radial load under the bearing supports. The rotational resistance consists of the frictional resistance and the bearing-cavity oil resistance.

Indicial response characteristics of a rotor supported by a gas-lubricated, spiral-grooved proceeding bearing are studied theoretically to develop a fundamental investigation for the bearing design with considering NRRO characteristics. The trajectory of rotor movement is calculated by applying the non-linear orbit scheme against a prescribed impulse load, then two characteristic quantities are introduced to evaluate the indicial response performance of the bearing, i.e., 'maximum deviation of rotor center' and 'integrated rotor center deviation'. The effects of some design parameters of spiral grooves to these representative quantities are studied so that 'robust' design against impulse load is discussed.

본 연구는 지구물리검층을 통해서 동해 울릉분지의 가스하이드레이트 함유지층과 비함유지층에서의 음파전달속도 (종파)의 특성차이를 규명하였다. 지구물리 검층 자료는 울릉분지의 중앙지역에서 취득하였다. 음파전달속도는 가스하이드레이트 함유지층의 경우 최대 속도값이 약 2200 m/s의 높은 값에서 1600 m/s의 낮은 값을 갖는다. 반면에 비함유지층에서는 약 1500 m/s 내외에서 1400 m/s보다 더 낮은 값을 갖기도 한다. 일반 해양퇴적물에서의 값 (약 $1500{\sim}1600$ m/s)보다 높은 값을 보이는 것은 가스하이드레이트가 퇴적물내에 함유되어 있기 때문이다. 가스하이드레이트 비함유구간중 해수의 속도보다 낮은 값을 보이는 구간은 해저면에서 약 140 m 이하의 해저모방반사면 (Bottom Simulating Reflector)의 하부층에 존재하는 자유가스 때문이다. 전기비저항값도 가스하이드레이트 함유구간에서 최대 150 Ohm-m까지 높게 나타나 비함유구 간에서의 값과 차이가 크다. 각 물성간의 상관관계를 보면 가스하이드레이트 함유지층과 비함유지층의 구분이 명확하게 나타나고 있으며 그 상관관계도 일반적인 해양 미고결퇴적물에서 보이는 값과는 상이한 양상을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 가스하이드레이트가 존재하는 지층의 물성과 음향특성을 해석할 때에는 가스하이드레이트의 존재 형태나 함량 등에 대한 연구가 병행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
