대형 저속 2행정기관을 탑재한 선박에서 축계배치와 관련된 선미측 후부 메인엔진 베어링의 손상이 증가하는 경향이 있다. 메인엔진을 포함한 선체는 최적화로 인하여 변형하기 쉬운 경향에 있고, 고출력을 요구하는 추진 축계는 이것과 반대의 경향을 가지므로 축계 배치 변화에 대한 감도가 높아져서 메인엔진 베어링의 손상이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제에 대한 대책으로 메인엔진 베어링을 포함한 보다 정확한 배치계산을 할 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 축계배치계산 고정도화의 일환으로 메인엔진 베어링 수가 베어링 반력에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토한다.

동하중을 받는 엔진 베어링을 연구하기 위하여 1.5리터, 직렬 4 기통 가솔린 엔진 5개 메인 베어링 모두의 최소 유막 두께를 측정하고, 이론 계산을 수행하였다. 이론 계산은 무한 소폭으로 본 엔진 베어링에 대해 모빌리티 방법을 이용하였으며 유막두께 측정 방법으로는 TOTAL CAPACITANCE METHOD(TCM)을 사용하였다. TCM을 이용한 실험에서 실험의 정도를 높이기 위하여 새로운 베어링 틈새 설정 방법을 제시하였으며, 베어링 캐비테이션(Cavitation) 및 윤활유의 공기 혼입(Aeration)에 의한 시험오차를 해석하였다. 시험과 이론 계산의 결과를 비교한 결과, 정성적인 경향이 비교적 잘 일치하고 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 그러나 정정보로 가정된 이론 계산은 크랭크샤프트 진동 및 각 베어링이 받는 하중의 불균형으로 인한 영향을 예측하지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 엔진 운전중 베어링의 최대 전단율(Maximum Shear Rate)은 $10^7 S^{-1}$ 수준임을 확인하였다.

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.

The connecting rod big-end bearing is one of the most heavily loaded components of the lubrication system of high-speed combustion engines. The supply oil flow has to pass to the main bearing and the rotating crankshaft before entering the connecting rod bearing. It is common knowledge that the centrifugal forces due to the crankshaft rotation influence the oil flow to connecting rod bearing through the oil supply bore, especially, when the oil supply system to the connecting rod bearing has a 180$^{\circ}$circumferential groove via a single drilling in the crankshaft. In this case, it should be confirmed that the groove oil pressure in the main bearing is sufficient to overcome these centrifugal forces. For the purpose, the dynamic oil pressure before entering oil supply bore to the connecting rod bearing was measured instead of averaged oil pressure in main gallery. Experimental test results show that the dynamic oil pressure in the oil groove was more useful than that of main gallery. And it was also found that the oil pressure fluctuation in the groove was sensitively affected by the reduction of the main bearing clearance.

본 논문은 자동변속기를 탑재한 차량에서 에어콘(air condition)을 작동시키고, 공 회전시 기어의 변속을 "D"단에 두었을 때 실내에서 발생하는 이상음의 원인규명 및 해결 방 법에 관한 연구 결과를 논하고자 한다. 이 이상한 소음의 원인을 규명하기 위하여 실린더 내부의 연소압력, 메인 베어링캡(main bearing cap)의 진동, 엔진 마운팅 보스의 진동 및 차 량의 실내소음을 동시에 측정하여 분석하였으며 이 결과에 의하면 이상음의 원인은 크랭크 샤프트(crank shaft)의 굽힘진동이 파워플랜트(power plant)를 가진하여 진동을 증가시키고, 이 진동이 마운팅 보스를 통하여 차량의 차체에 전달되며, 차체의 진동에 의해서 발생하는 고체 전달음(structure-borne noise)이었다. 또한 이상음의 주기는 주파수 성분은 200-400Hz 이었다. 이 이상음은 크랭크 샤프트의 댐퍼 풀리의 질량을 저감하여 크랭크 샤프트의 동특 성을 개선함으로서 해결가능하고, 혹은 점화시기를 지연하여 연소 압력을 낮춤으로서 해결 가능하다.

The minimum oil film thicknesses (MOFT) in the crankshaft main bearings of a 1.5 liter, L-4, gasoline engine are measured and calculated to study the dynamically loaded engine bearing. The MOFT are measured simultaneously at each of the five main bearings using the total capacitance method(TCM). To improve the reliability of the TCM, a reasonable determination method of bearing clearance is introduced and the effects of bearipg cavitation and aeration on the test results are analyzed. Also the crankshaft is grounded by means of a slip ring instead of the friction contact method to improve the test precision. The calculation is based on the model of statically determinate beam, short bearing approximation and Mobility method. From the comparison between the measured and calculated MOFT curves, it is found that a qualitative similarity exists between them, but in all cases, measured MOFT are smaller than that of calculated. The crankshaft vibration and the imbalance of the load distribution between the engine bearings have important influence upon the MOFT curve. So it is found that the calculation result from the model of the statically determinate beam has a limitation in predicting bearing performance.

Electromotive forces (EMF) are generated by electrical equipment and engine shafting with a number of reasons. The shaft and bearing which is insulated by lubricating oil acts as a condenser, being able to store this EMFs. The electromotive force on the hull and shaft, with very few exceptions, has anode voltage on it. Electrical spark of the anode voltage on the shaft may lead to corrosion. Hence, in order to prevent ship's shaft and propeller corrosion, shaft grounding system are installed and operated. The shaft EMF voltage measurement methods was measured using 24bit 2 channels A/D converter of NI company and Labview software. 1 channel was propeller shaft's voltage and the other was M/E engine rpm gauge. In this paper, the generated electromotive force was analyzed and modeled with result of the analysis. As a result, the main shaft's electromotive force was in direct proportion to the main engine's revolution. However, over the specific R.P.M., it was reduced gradually. In addition, higher electromotive force on the shaft was identified during engine's ahead direction than the astern direction. The generated electromotive force is only minor compared to the shaft grounding system.

Gearboxes for power transmission of a rotorcraft transfer power generated by an engine to the fan and the pusher for up, down and forward flight. The gearboxes are divided into the main gearbox and the sub-gearbox. The main goal of the gearbox design is to design the weight as light as possible within a range that satisfies all given requirements (transmission power, mounting space, etc.). In particular, the initial conceptual design is very important to reduce the weight of the gearbox, since the weight can vary greatly depending on the system configuration, even if it has the same function. In this study, various conceptual designs of the gearbox according to the installation position of the engine were presented. Also, the element parts such as gears and bearings in each concept design were designed by sizing for their life, and the estimated weights of the conceptual system configuration were compared.
