The Influence of Engine Operating Conditions and Lubricants on Oil Film Thickness of Engine Connecting Rod Bearing
커넥팅로드 베어링의 유막두께에 미치는 기관 운전조건 및 윤활유의 영향
Abstract
By applying of total electric capacitance method on engine connecting rod bearing during engine operating, the influence of engine operating conditions and lubricants on bearing oil film thickness was investigated. Minimum oil film thickness increases with kinematic viscosity, but as increasing of viscosity, the increasing ratio of film thickness is reduced. Also minimum oil film thickness increases with engine speed but there is a limit. Above this limit, film thickness decreases in opposition because of crankshaft inertia. As increasing of engine torque and oil temperature, munimum oil film thickness decreases linearly. For non-Newtonian oils, the correlation between
