The main subject of this paper is analyzing the patterns of maximum oil film pressure and the minimum oil film thickness under various pre-conditions of geometric shape as functions of bearing groove and proceeding oil hole in the connecting rod bearing. As the major analytical tool, elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis has been applied and two-intertwined results of maximum oil film pressure and minimum oil film thickness have been compared and analyzed using EXCITE program. From computed results, the optimal lubrication conditions as geometric shape of bearing groove and the proceeding oil hole have been investigated. This may be useful for the bearing designer as a firm reference.

This paper describes the variation of lubricant's temperature effects on elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The Newton-Raphson technique was used to solve the simultaneous system of Reynolds and elasticity equations. To show effects of lubricant's temperature, average temperature across the oil film was calculated using the energy equation. Pressure distribution, film shape, and temperature distribution were obtained for fully flooded conjunctions, and various dimensionless speed parameters while load and material parameters were held constant. Minimum film thickness were obtained for various material properties while load and velocity were held constant. It is drawn that the thermal effects have a strong influence on a minimum film thickness under high rolling velocity and slip ratio.

This paper describes the influence on engine main bearing behavior of the oil film when the fuel is diluted on a diesel engine equipped with DPF system. Oil film pressure and the thickness is calculated in accordance to the fuel dilution. The calculation is based on the numerical analysis of the engine main bearing. As a result, the engine oil viscosity decreased as the fuel dilution increased. This led the increment of the maximum oil thickness pressure. Verification of the minimum oil film thickness settlement by the engine gas pressure and the fuel dilution was confirmed. Destruction possibility of the engine main bearing was foreseen when the engine speed was 2000 rpm with the fuel dilution 15% and the 5W40 engine oil.

Many researches about the contacts between cam and follower have investigated EHL film thickness either without dynamic loading effect or only with curve fitting formula such as Dowson-Hamrock's, because including squeeze film effect makes it hard to obtain convergence and stability of computation. Therefore, inaccurate information about minimum film thickness without dynamic loading condition causes inappropriate design of cam profiles and wrong selection of cam and follower materials. In this work, computation tools both for kinematics and dynamics of valve train system of push-rod type and for fluid film thickness with elastic deformation on the basis of dynamic loading condition with multigrid multi-level method is developed. The computational results of minimum film thickness with the respects of both static and dynamic loading conditions are compared for the contact of flat follower over the entire cycle.

본 논문은 엔진 베어링에서 크랭크샤프트의 경사도를 고려했을 때와 고려하지 않았을 때 유막 동적거동을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 해석하였다. 본 해석은 탄성유체윤활 이론을 바탕으로 하여 최소유막의 동적특성을 수치적으로 해석하였다. 유막설계에 매우 중요한 인자인 크랭크샤프트 경사도를 고려하기 위하여 크랭크샤프트와 엔진베어링을 탄성체로 모델링 하였다. 유막거동해석을 위한 경계조건으로는 엔진 베어링에서 발생하는 비선형 구속력과 굽힘 모멘트를 고려하였고 이에 따른 크랭크샤프트의 경사도 영향을 고려함으로써 좀 더 실제 현상과 유사한 모델링을 수행하였다. 해석결과 엔진 베어링의 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 최소유막두께가 크랭크샤프트의 경사도를 고려하지 않았을 때보다 고려하였을 때 16%에서 24%정도 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 해석결과에서와 같이 크랭크샤프트 경사도 증가는 최소유막두께의 감소를 유발하고 이에 따른 베어링 파손을 예측할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 논문의 해석결과가 자동차 엔진 베어링 설계 시 매우 유용한 자료로 사용될 것으로 사료된다.

An elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis for an axially crown profiled cylindrical roller is carried out using a finite difference method and the Newton-Raphson method. Variations of the minimum film thickness with dimensionless parameters show considerably different from those of infinite solutions.

To study the lubrication performance of tilting-pad thrust bearing (TPTBs) during start-up in nuclear pump, a hydrodynamic lubrication model of TPTBs was established based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method and the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) technique. Further, a mesh motion algorithm for the transient calculation of thrust bearings was developed based on the user defined function (UDF). The result demonstrated that minimum film thickness increases first and then decreases with the rotational speed under start-up condition. The influence of pad tilt on minimum film thickness is greater than that of collar movement at low speed, and the establishment of dynamic pressure mainly depends on pad tilt and minimum film thickness increases. As the increase of rotational speed, the influence of pad tilt was abated, where the influence of the moving of the collar dominated gradually, and minimum film thickness decreases. For TPTBs, the circumferential angle of the pad is always greater than the radial angle. When the rotational speed is constant, the change rate of radial angle is greater than that of circumferential angle with the increase of loading forces. This study can provide reference for improving bearing wear resistance.

This paper shows the effect of axial profile on the elastohydrodnamic lubrication (EHL) behavior of axially profiled cylindrical roller. For two different type of profiles which have nearly similar elastostatic pressure distribution, the EHL results show large differences. Especially the difference in film shape is larger than that of pressure distribution. Therefore, the magnitude of the minimum film thickness should be a major criteria to design the axial profile of the roller and a new design procedure is presented which take into account the minimum film thickness as well as the pressure distribution.

The characteristics of multi-leaf feil bearing are investigated. The Foil bearing is preloaded and has several leaf foils modeled by curved beams. An analysis of the air foil bearing was performed, considering effects of foil deflection and compressible lubrication equation simultaneously. A parametric study shows that the number of foils significantly affect the static characteristics of air foil bearings and describes what the minimum film thickness means. The results include pressure profile, load capacity, dimensionless torque and minimum film thickness in the foil bearing.

Lift-off means that the rotating journal surface separates from the leaf surface in an air-lubricated multi-leaf foil journal bearing. Lift-off builds up minimum film thickness which will provide load capacity between leaves and journal. In this paper an analysis of air-lubricated multi-leaf foil journal bearing was performed with effects of multi-leaf foil deflection and compressible lubrication equation simultaneously. Minimum film thickness built up versus journal speed predicts the lift off characteristics and these results will be useful in designing and selecting the proper speed of the air-lubricated multi-leaf foil journal bearing.
