This paper considers two dimensional analysis for lubrication between the single piston ring and the cylinder liner. The piston ring is treated as a reciprocating, hydrodynamic bearing with combined sliding and squeeze motion. Reynolds' equation is used, to model lubrication with Reynolds' cavitation boundary condition. This analysis is developed to get the cyclic variation of minimum film thickness and viscous frictional force. Two types of piston ring face shape are considered. This result can be used to study the influence of ring shape design parameter to improve the characteristics of sealing and lubrication.

피스톤링과 실린더벽 사이의 윤활이 왕복운동을 하며 동하중을 받는 포물선형의 슬라이드 베어링의 유체 윤활로 보고 전개하였다. 싸이클 상의 유막 두께의 변화, 윤활유 운반과 마찰력을 계산하는 과정이 개략적으로 설명되었고, 이들 성능 특성들에 대한 링 높이, 링 앞면 곡률반경과 링의 비대칭의 영향을 고찰하였다. 단독링에 대한 해석결과를 조금 더 복잡한 링 팩에 대해 확대 적용하였다. 링의 부하가 되는 링 주위의 압력들은 실험적으로 또는 가스 흐름 해석으로부터 얻을 수 있는데 본 연구에서는 후자를 택하였다. 링팩에서의 유체 연속 및 윤활유 부족에 따른 수치 해석에 주안점을 두었다.

The distribution of oil film thickness in piston were measured by induced fluorescence method. A Xe lamp was used as light source. Coumarine-6 was mixed with oil as the fluorescent dye. Fluorescent signal which is proportional to the oil film thickness was acquired by CCD camera and transmitted to the personal computer as video signal. In order to solve the problem of measurement system, irregular distribution and unstability of light intensity, as well as to know the relationship between the oil film thickness and output signal, three different calibration techniques were used. Motoring and firing tests were performed in a single cylinder research engine with transparent liner. By analyzing the oil film thickness converted from the photographed image, it was observed that each of three piston rings scrapes the oil both upward and downward and oil film thickness is not uniform horizontally at a given piston land. The amount of oil in each land was considerably affected by the engine load. It is thought that the blow-by gas blows the oil down to the crankcase.
