Recently, requirements relating to performance, environment and noise in the oil hydraulic system of the heavy construction equipment have been reinforced continuously. In order to solve these technical trends, studies on the system compactness, operation under high pressure and great rotating speed, electronic control, substitute oil, and noise reduction have been progressed briskly. Among these recent studies, the system operation under high pressure is quite difficult to carry into effect due to mechanical limitations; that is, for realizing the system operation in the hydraulic pump under high pressure, the improvements or innovations on the design techniques, the manufacturing techniques, and the lubrication performance of the working oil are required. Accordingly, in this study, the stress distribution and optimum design factors under the maximum pressure were discussed by using stress analysis on the cylinder block of the hydraulic axial piston pump, which is one of the most important relative sliding regions.

Recently, the technologies related to the swash plate type oil hydraulic piston pump are requiring extreme technologies to overcome the limit of high efficiency in cope with high speed and pressure, and are devoted to compact the unit, to gain low noise level, and to adopt electronic technologies, and the question regarding to maximize the mechanical efficiency, that is, to minimize the torque loss by minimizing the leakage loss in the relative sliding region but these are in trade-off relation that tribological responding is very difficult. Cylinder block-valve pate in high speed relative sliding motion has the characteristics that should be extremely controlled for the optimization of these leakage loss and mechanical efficiency, and pressure resistance designing of them is important for high pressure performance. But, studies on the stress analysis of these parts have not been performed briskly, so in this paper the stress distribution and the region where the highest displacement appears are described through the static stress analysis using CATIA V5. Through the future studies on these theme, it has the purpose of finding the suitable materials for the other parts as well as cylinder block and valve plate, in cope with high pressure operation through the stress analysis with the most similar conditions for the practical operation.

Three-dimensional numerical analysis of the flow around rectangular cylinders with various side ratios, D/H, from 0.2 to 2.0 is carried out for Reynolds number of 1000 by using multi-directional finite difference method in multi-grid. The predicted results are well compared with the experimental data. It is found that fluid dynamics characteristics alternate between high pressure mode. and low pressure mode of the base pressure for rectangular cylinder of D/H=0.2-0.6.

A Knowledge of friction force in pneumatic cylinders makes it possible to improve cylinder description during simulation and to asses performance under changing operating conditions more accurately. Such knowledge is particularly useful, for example, when modeling continuous pneumatic positioning systems or predicting the operating conditions under which stick slip may occur, as well as in establishing preventive maintenance procedures for pneumatic cylinders. Friction force depends on a number of factors, including operating pressure, seal running speed on the cylinder barrel and rod, barrel material and surface roughness, seal dimensions and profile, seal material, lubrication conditions, cylinder distortion during assembly, and the operating temperature of cylinder components. This paper shows a system for measuring the friction force caused by a seal used in pneumatic cylinders. Results of experimental tests show that seal friction forces for grease lubricated service are clearly dependent on speed and pressure and are les sensitivity to other parameter. i.e., barrel material and roughness, seal material, and profile.

In recent years, it is very important that hydrogen storage system is safe for user in any circumstances in case of crash and fire. Because the hydrogen vehicle usually carry high pressurized cylinders, it is necessary to do safety design for fire. The Global Technical Regulation (GTR) has been enacted for localized and engulfing fire test. High pressure hydrogen storage system of fuel cell electrical vehicles are equipped with Thermal Pressure Relief Device (TPRD) installed in pressured tank cylinder to prevent the explosion of the tank during a fire. TPRDs are safety devices that perceive a fire and release gas in the pressure tank cylinder before it is exploded. In this paper, we observed the localized and engulfing behavior of tank safety, regarding the difference of size and types of the tanks in accordance with GTR.

Composite pressure vessels with HDPE (high density polyethlyne) liner with metal boss at each end were developed by Filament Winding Process. The vessel is composed of a dome-shaped part at each end and a cylinder-shaped part at the middle of the vessel. The environmental tests carried out for possible vessel materials such as High Density Polyethlyn (HDPE), resins and reinforcing fibers up to a year showed no significant damages. The boss was designed to minimize the gas leak which was verified by FEM analysis. Most ideal fiber tension was obtained by experimental method and the fiber volume fraction, $\textrm{V}_{f}$, obtained by image analyzer were 55.4 % in cylinder and 55.6 % in dome parts, respectively. Winding pattern is programmed to control the composite thickness in the dome areas such that the failure of the vessel may occur in the cylinder. During the cure, the vessel was rotated and a constant internal pressure of 0.62 bar was applied. From this, the vessel's burst pressure is improved by 28 %. The burst and fatigue tests for under-wound and fully wound vessel showed satisfactory results.

High pressure LPG fuel spray with a conventional swirl injector was visualized and the impact of the injection pressure was also investigated using a DISI (direct injection spark ignition) LPG single cylinder engine. Engine performance and emission characteristics were evaluated over three different injection pressure and engine loads at an engine speed of 1500 rpm. The fuel spray pattern appeared to notably have longer penetration length and narrower spray angle than those of gasoline due to its lower angular momentum and rapid vaporization. Fuel injection pressure did not affect combustion behaviors but for high injection pressure and low load condition ($P_{inj}$=120 bar and 2 bar IMEP), which was expected weak flow field configuration and low pressure inside the cylinder. In terms of nano particle formation the positions of peak values in particle size distributions were not also changed regardless of the injection pressure, and its number densities were dramatically reduced compared to those of gasoline.

The solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic modulator is a two directional on-off valve and is controlled by around 100Hz high speed pulse width modulation. When the valve is switched from open state to closed state, noise and vibration due to pressure surge phenomena in the hydraulic line and wheel cylinder are made. In this study, we identify Pressure surge phenomenon in the braking process of a ABS, and investigate the way to reduce the phenomenon. For the purpose of theoretical analysis on the pressure surge in the closed state hydraulic line, characteristic curve method based on wave equation was utilized. To reduce the surge, high frequency control of 20kHz was attempted. The result showed that the surge pressure of 50% was reduced compared to one observed in the low frequency control. Duty variation of high frequency can control current of solenoid valve and prevent sudden change of displacement.

Design of pre-compression region(trapping region) of the valve plate is an important element to minimize the pressure fluctuation in a cylinder and in discharge process, and pump noise. In this study, we tried to prove what the characteristics of the oil hydraulic pump would be according to the angle of the trapping region. Three kinds of asymmetrical valve plates were used. As a result, we found that by designing the trapping region, the slope of the pressure rise in the cylinder port from low-pressure suction region to high-pressure discharge region is relaxed and the pressure fluctuation width and the discharge pressure pulsation are reduced. Therefore, because the pump gets smooth pressure fluctuation and low fluid Impact, the pump noise is reduce.

In this study, 2D computations of the Aeolian tones for some obstacles (circular cylinder, square cylinder and NACA0012 airfoil) are simulated. First of all, we calculate the flow noise generated by a uniform flow around a two-dimensional circular cylinder at Re=150 are simulated by applying the finite difference lattice Boltzmann method (FDLBM). The third-order-accurate up-wind scheme (UTOPIA) is used for the spatial derivatives, and the second-order-accurate Runge-Kutta scheme is applied for the time marching. The results show that we successively capture very small acoustic pressure fluctuation with the same frequency of the Karman vortex street compared with the pressure fluctuation around a circular cylinder. The propagation velocity of the acoustic waves shows that the points of peak pressure are biased upstream due to the Doppler effect in the uniform flow. For the downstream, on the other hand, it is faster. To investigate the effect of the lattice dependence, furthermore, simulations of the Aeolian tones at the low Reynolds number radiated by a square cylinder and a NACA0012 airfoil with a blunt trailing edge at high incidence are also investigated.
