유압장치의 핵심부품인 유압 제어밸브(hydraulic control valve)는 유압펌프 등에 의하여 가압된 유압유의 압력과 유량을 제어하고 유동방향을 변화시키는 주요기능을 수행한다. 특히, 대부분의 제어밸브는 스푸울(spool)과 슬리브(sleeve)를 기본구조로 채용하고 있다. 피스톤 형상인 스푸울이 슬리브내를 왕복운동하면 스푸울과 슬리브 사이의 간극(clearance)에서는 점성유체인 유압유의 윤활작용에 의하여 원주방향으로 비대칭인 유체압력이 발생한다. 이 결과로 스푸울에 측력(lateral force)이 작용하며, 조건에 따라서는 스푸울에 작용하며, 조건에 따라서는 스푸울에 작용하는 마찰력이 증대할 뿐만 아니라 스푸울과 슬리브의 내벽에 과도한 마멸(wear)을 유방시키기도 하여 제어밸브의 성능을 크게 저하시키기도 한다. 유압공학분야서는 이를 유체고착(hydraulic locking) 현상이라고 부른다. 본 논문에서는 항공기 Flap actuator의 Selector manifold에서 사용되는 스푸울 밸브의 성능에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 스프울과 슬리브 사이 간극에서의 윤활특성을 이론적으로 조사하고자 한다.

It is not too much to say that, at the beginning of engine development, the most important areas for a good engine concept design is the lubrication system design. So, between right after finishing concept design and before procuring the engine, it is necessary to carry out the system lubrication analysis for the initially designed lubrication system and the related lubricating parts. Therefore, in this paper, it is to describe the results of a design review carried out the numerical net work analysis on the engine bearings and the lubrication system of an initially designed 2.0 L DOHC engine.

본 연구에서는 가변용량형 사판식 액시얼 피스톤 펌프의 가변용량 시스템에 있어서 actuator piston의 가공정도와 실린더사이의 간극의 변화에 따른 응답성 및 누설용량에 끼치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 가변용량형 사판식 액시얼 피스톤 펌프는 사판의 각도를 조절함으로써 유량을 조절하게 된다. 사판의 각도조절은 actuator piston에 의해 행해지며, 가변용량부의 어느 설정압력에 도달하면, 이 actuator piston이 사판을 밀어 사판의 각도를 변화 시키게 된다. 지배방정식으로는 spool과 사판의 운동방정식과 각 chamber의 누설 유량이 있다. 이들 방정식을 \ulcorner으로써 각 부분의 운동을 해석할 수 있게 된다. 여기에서 해석이 어려운 부분은 각 계수들의 결정이며 simulation을 할 때는 이로한 계수들을 이론적으로 결정을 하게 되고, 실험을 통해 검증하도록 한다. 즉, 각 운동뷰의 감쇠계수와 각 오리피스를 통한 유량계수, 그리고 감쇠계수 등은 실험을 통해 검토한다. 실험을 통한 측정에서는 각 chamber의 압력은 각 chamber에 연결된 압력센서 3개에 의해 행해지며, 사판의 각도는 angle 센서에 의해 측정하게 된다. 그리고 actuator piston과 블럭 사이의 간극을 조절하여 누설계수를 변화시키며, 그 영향을 살펴보았다.

In general, a valve body of the automatic transmission(AT) is controlled by the clutch, the brake and lubricating oil flow in a hydraulic system and lubricant flow for each valve can be adjusted independently. To increase the lifetime of AT, the lubrication flow rate in a valve body for a 6 speed AT based parallel hybrid electric vehicle must be provided with proper oil distribution and control. In this study, we carried out several experiments without the inner parts of AT and with a AT assembly. The variation of the flow rate on oil temperature and pressure between an oil supply port and the outlets of the lubrication port was evaluated and analyzed. In the case of AT without the inner parts, it was evident that as the oil required for an operation of the clutch and brake was discharged from the outlet port, the flow rate from each lubrication port is decreased. However, the flow rate of the AT assembly was slightly increased. In addition, the lubrication flow rate was increased with increasing the oil temperature, and also it was reduced with increasing the oil pressure. Details of the resulting data are discussed.

In recent times, surface texturing methods have been widely applied to reduce friction and improve the reliability of machine components such as parallel thrust bearings, mechanical face seals, and piston rings. In this study, a numerical analysis is carried out to investigate the effect of uniformly spaced hemispherical dimples on the lubrication characteristics of a slider bearing using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. The pressure distributions, load capacity, leakage flowrate, and friction force are strongly affected by the dimple diameter and the number of dimples. In particular, the load capacity and friction force decrease linearly with the dimple density whereas the leakage increases. These results can be used for designing the optimum dimple characteristics in order to improve the lubrication performance of slider bearings, for which further studies are required.

This paper describes the rheological behavior study such as viscosity and change of shear stress regarding marine lubricating oil according to the amount of Marine Gas Oil (MGO) dilution. The viscosity reduction due to fuel dilution is crucially important characteristic to decreasing engine durability because of the abrasion of piston ring or liner. The lubricating oil used in this paper was blended with magnetic stirrer diluted High Sulfur Diesel (HSD, 0.05 wt%) ratio of 3 %, 6 %, 10 %, 15 % and 20 %. The viscosity and shear stress of diluted lubricating oil were measured with the temperature range from $-10^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ using a rotary viscometer (Brookfield Viscometer). As the amount of MGO dilution increasing in lubricating oil, the viscosity and stress of those decreased, because the lubricating oil diluted MGO with low viscosity show the trends to decreased viscosity and shear stress. Especially, the viscosity and shear stress of lubricating oil radically decreased at low temperature ($0{\sim}-10^{\circ}C$) and doesn't effect in MGO dilution at over $40^{\circ}C$. As temperature risen, the reduction of the viscosity and shear stress in lubricating oil shows the Newtonian behavior. The lubricating oil was required to check up periodically to improve engine durability since the viscosity reduction by MGO dilution accelerating the engine abrasion.

The object of this study is to investigate influences of supplied lubricant quantities on spur gear's pitting life. Pitting is a sort of contact fatigue failures and made by a repetitive load. Basically, pitting is difficult to predict its life by an analysis due to many factors to be considered about tribology problems. In this paper, pitting life was proved by experiment using two roller machine. For a contact fatigue test, operating circumstances should be considered. During the test, temperature and lubricant quantities are considered and to investigate an influence of lubricant quantities, a comparison between optimally enough and not enough lubricant quantity was implemented.

A mathematical model describing gear pump flow degradation in the presense of abrasive particles is presented. The model considers the operating parameters as Sommerfeld number, so that contamination sensitivity test results could be conversed to field application to predict contamination service life. A method to estimate the volumetric efficiency and the contamination level of a pump is proposed by measuring the temperature differences in the fluid. Test results show the validity of the theoretical establishments.

It is very important to control pressure and flow rate distribution on each component of engine lubrication network. Sometimes many kinds of orifice are used to control flow rate in the hydraulic lubrication field. In this study orifices were adopted on the lubrication network to control oil flow rate distribution. And unsteady transient flow network analysis was carried out to find out the effects of orifices on the engine oil circuit system.
