The engine bearing transmits the powers from cylinder to crankshaft with small clearance between con-rod and crankpin. The minimum oil film thickness is a significant parameter in the operation of bearing. The contact pressure of bearing should be considered for the reason that elastic deformation of bearing be caused by contact pressure of bearing. There are important factors which are maintaining of minimum oil film thickness expecting of the length of maximum and minimum oil film thickness with changing of the loads to keep running normally. Furthermore, this study is very crucial to develop the design of engine bearing and crankshaft system.

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.

In this paper, the hydrodynamic pressure and minimum oil film thickness of a pin bush bearing for a connecting rod have been analyzed as functions of the number of oil grooves and an arc length of oil grooves. The lubrication characteristic of a pin bush is governed by oil groove design factors, which are considered in this study. The most influential design parameter is a number of oil grooves, which is three oil grooves with an arc length of oil groove, 1/6($60^{\circ}$). This means that oil groove with a long arc length of a pin bush does not contribute to the hydrodynamic pressure development. Thus the optimal design of a pin bush is necessary with an increased number of oil grooves and a reduced arc length.

Effect of Newtonian and non-Newtonian oils on minimum ol film thickness in engine journal bearing were investigated at various oil viscosities. The influence of oil viscosity and engine operating conditions on minimum oil film thickness of main bearing and con-rod bearing was examined. Minimum oil film thickness for Newtonian oils increased uniformly with kinematic viscosity. But the correlation between kinematic viscosity and minimum oil film thickness was very poor for non-Newtonian oils. According to the straight-line regression analysis for non-Newtonian oils, high temperature high shear viscosity at 1 $1{\times}10^6Sec^{-1}$, $150^{\circ}C$ increase the coefficient of determination from 0.41 to 0.77. Con-rod bearing showed better correlation between minimum oil film thickness and engine operating conditions than main bearing.

This paper reports on the starved lubrication for the piston ring. In this analysis, two types of inlet boundary conditions, fully flooded and starved condition, are considered at the leading edge. The inlet position of effective lubrication and squeeze term are obtained by numerically iterative method. The effective lubricated region is reduced due to the starved condition at the inlet. The starved condition at the inlet significantly reduced the minimum oil film thickness(MOFT) at the midstroke of piston, and the friction force is also increased due to the thin oil film thickness. In the starved conditions, the power loss is significantly increased.

The minimum oil film thickness(MOFT) in the connecting-rod bering of a 1.5 liter, L-4, gasoline engine is measured up to 5500 rpm and calculated to study the dynamically loaded engine bearing. Short bearing approximation and Mobility method are used for theoretical analysis of oil film charactrtistics. And cylinder pressure, crank-pin surface temperature and bearing tenp ture are measured as the input data of theoretical analysis. The MOFT are measured by the total capacitance method(TCM). To improve the reliability of the test results, a reasonable detmuuination method of bearing clearance is introduced and used, and the effects of cavitation and aeration on the test results are neglected. The crankshaft is grounded by means of a slip ring. A scissor type linkage system was developed to measure the MOFT and bearing temperature. The effects of engine speed, load and oil viscosity on the measured and calculated minimum oil film thicknesses are investigated at 1500 to 5500 rpm. From the comparison between the measured and calculated MOFT, it is found that a qualitative similarity exists between them, but in all cases, the measured MOFT are smaller than those calculated.

이 연구는 기름 유출 사고 시 해상에서 실시되는 방제활동을 보다 신속하고 효과적으로 실시하기 위해 사고초기부터 오일붐의 필요량을 신속하고 간단하게 제시해주는 프로그램의 개발에 대하여 알아보려고 한다. 유출유의 기계적회수를 위해 유회수기, 임시저장탱크의 필요수량은 제시되었으나, 오일붐은 제시되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해양선진국 및 국제해사기구(IMO)에서 제시한 오일붐의 필요수량에 대한 방법들을 활용해 프로그램에서 유출규모, 유막특징의 입력을 통해 오일붐의 최소 및 권고량이 제시되도록 NI(National Instuments)사(社)의 LabVIEW 2010버전으로 프로그래밍 되었다. 기름유출 시 OBM Program을 이용해 누구나 쉽게 오일붐 필요량을 파악할 수 있고, 신속하게 오일붐의 필요량이 파악되어 방제활동 대응시간을 단축시켜주며, 단축된 대응시간만큼 피해규모의 축소를 기대할 수 있다.

이 논문에서는 비상디젤발전기의 구조물 및 내부 회전체에 대한 건전성 평가를 위한 해석적 방법을 제시한다. 비상발전기는 원자력발전소 안전과 관련된 매우 중요한 기기로써 지진과 같은 비상사태에 원전의 안전 정지를 위한 관련 기기에 비상 전원을 공급한다. 비상발전기의 회전기 부분 또한 지진과 같은 충격에도 안전성을 확보해야 한다. 비상발전기 본체에 대한 모달 해석을 하여 공진 주파수가 지진 주파수 영역에 있는지를 확인하여 응력 해석의 방법을 정했다. 회전체 부분의 안전성은 저널 베어링의 필름 두께와 임계 회전수를 계산하여 최소 유막 요구치와 운전속도와 비교하여 안전성을 판단하였다. 계산된 응력해석의 최대치는 허용치보다 작았으며, 저널 베어링의 유막과 회전수 또한 안전한 범위에 들었다. 이 논문에서는 저널 베어링의 안전해석에 지진하중을 정적 하중으로 보았으나 향후 연구에 있어서는 지진하중의 동적 특성을 회전체에 적응하는 새로운 해석적 방법의 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The electric controlled marine diesel engine has fuel pump generating the high pressurized fuel for fuel injection to combustion chamber via a common rail. Fuel pump consists of a cam-roller system. Journal bearing installed between a roller and a cam-roller pin is subjected to fluctuating heavy and instant loads by cam lift. First, Kinematic analysis is carried out to predict bearing loads during one cycle acting on the journal bearing. Second, flexible multi-body dynamic analysis and transient elasto-hydrodynamic(EHD) lubrication analysis for journal bearing considering elastic deformation of cam-roller pin, roller and bearing are conducted using AVL EXCITE/PU software to predict lubrication performance. The clearance ratio and journal groove shape providing lubrication oil are important parameter in bearing design having good performance and can be changed easier than other design parameters such as diameter, width, oil supply pressure and bearing material grade. Generally, journal bearing performance is represented by the minimum oil film thickness(MOFT) and peak oil film pressure(POFP). As well as the traditional design parameters(MOFT, POFP), in this study, temperature rise of lubrication oil is also evaluated through the side leakage flow of supplied oil. By the evaluating MOFT, POFP and temperature rise, the optimum bearing clearance ratio is decided.
