A gas-spring has been used in many areas and its use is increasing because it can be designed for a range of purposes. In this study, the behavior of a piston with an orifice hole inside the gas-spring cylinder was predicted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The piston was designed to reduce the reaction force if the gas-spring is compressed and to move at a low speed when it is returned. The analysis showed that if the initial gas pressure in the gas-spring is increased to a certain level, the speed of the piston would not decrease with time but will remain constant. The effects of orifice hall size on the piston return speed were investigated. Reducing the size of the orifice hole will increase the pressure difference on both sides of the piston, reduce the piston speed, and make it more constant. On the assumption of a constant speed of the piston, a theoretical solution to the return speed of the piston was derived according to the initial gas pressure, and the results for several initial gas pressures were compared with those of CFD. Comparison studies showed similar results for both methods.

The function of gas springs is based on the compression of a gas. They are used in a wide variety of industries, and demand for them is increasing. Gas springs can be divided into compression and extension springs. Extension springs have not been studied much in relation to control of the piston speed, unlike compression springs. In this study, the magnitude of the piston rebound pressure was theoretically predicted by calculating the pressure loss in a double-cylinder extension gas spring. Numerical simulations of the piston behavior were carried out for small and large amounts of friction between the piston and the cylinder. FLUENT was used for the simulation with a 6-DOF model and UDF to simulate the behavior of the piston. The calculation regions of the front and rear of the piston were separated, and different types of grids were generated in the regions to implement a dynamic mesh using only a layering method. The results show that the piston returns with the target speed in both cases. However, the patterns of the piston behavior reaching the final speed are different.

This study was conducted in order to design a piston, part of a shock absorber, and the findings after examining the features of the velocity distribution and the static pressure distribution of oil on a low-velocity piston are as follow. The compression speed of oil passing through an 0.9 mm orifice was 0.0156~0.0642 m/s, and the velocity vector of the velocity distribution and the static pressure distribution had a greater tendency to rotate when the velocity increased. In case of the velocity vector of the velocity distribution and the static pressure distribution with an 0.8mm orifice, the speed changed secondarily, the second pressure-drop was observed and as for the distribution of the streamline around the orifice, a vortex was produced around the center. As for the velocity distribution of oil passing from the compression cylinder to the compact pipe, the velocity was greater in orifice of small diameter. Also, the greater the pressure difference was between the compression cylinder and the compact cylinder, the greater the force it was upon the piston.

Gas springs of the television is to control the piston speed when operating under along stroke(200~300 mm, television elevation)is possible. User by this principle is capable of elevation adjustment. First carried out a flow analysis of the piston. A piston speed adjustment technique for precise pipe type cross-section was examined. The piston structure for flow rate control and elevation action is proposed. This study is the development of a gas spring of more than 50 inch television with a large television stand. Hollow piston rod for optimal control(the outer diameter 19.9 mm, the inner diameter 13.9 mm) was injected into the nitrogen gas(0.3 mm/s) in. As a result, the flow rate the pressure drop of the piston rod as the increase was increased without any change of the external force. As a result, control of the displacement via the gas spring is possible.

자동차 관련 소음 및 진동중 엔진과 관련된 것은 흡.배기계 소음과 엔진 자 체의 각 구동 부위 및 연소실 소음으로 대별하여 볼수 있다. 특히 연소실 소 음의 경우에는 엔진 내부에서 발생하는 진동과 압력파가 엔진을 진동시키고, 이러한 엔진의 진동이 방사음을 발생시켜 형성되는 만큼 그 해석 및 공학적 접근 방법이 용이하지 않다. 연소실 소음은 압력의 갑작스런 변화에 의한 폭 발소음과 피스톤과 실린더 벽면의 충돌에 의한 피스톤 슬랩(piston slap)으로 크게 구분할 수 있으며 압력이 높지 않고 압력의 변화가 빠르지 않을 경우 에는 피스톤 슬랩이 기계적 소음의 주 원인이 되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 고에서는 피스톤 슬랩에 의한 진동 현상을 예측하기 위한 이론적 접근 방법 을 제시하고 이의 타당성을 검증하기 위한 실험적 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 또한, 피스톤과 실린더의 간극 진단을 위해 슬랩 신호를 이용하는 방법에 대 해 살펴보고, 피스톤과 실린더의 충돌 속도를 통해 슬랩 신호를 줄이기 위한 엔진의 설계 방법에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

본 논문은 자유 피스톤 엔진에 적용되는 단상 선형발전기용 전력제어시스템에 관한 연구이다. 자유 피스톤 엔진 선형발전시스템은 피스톤의 움직임을 구속하는 기구가 없기 때문에 기계적 마찰 손실이 적고 상사점 도달 시간이 짧아 에너지 효율측면에서 기존의 피스톤 엔진보다 유리한 기술이다. 하지만, 자유 피스톤 엔진의 경우 초기 기동 할 수 있는 동력원이 필요하며, 단상 선형 발전기의 경우 짧은 스트로크 및 낮은 속도로 인해 인덕턴스가 크게 설계 되어, 높은 인덕턴스로 인한 전류의 위상 지연으로 역률이 낮아지게 되고, 응답성이 떨어지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 역률 보상 및 응답성을 높일 수 있는 자유피스톤 엔진용 단상선형발진기용 전력제어시스템을 제안한다.

공간적 화염전파에 대한 실험적인 파악을 통하여 오토엔진에서의 연소과정과 진행을 위한 깊은 통찰을 할 수 있다. 그것을 통하면 매우 희박한 공기, 연료 혼합기의 경우 실린더에서 직접소염 과정을 확인할 수도 있고 hydrocarbon의 불완전 연소와 나타나는 qunching zone간의 관계를 조사할 수도 있다. 광전도 섬유기술(Lichtleit-fasertechnik)을 사용하여 새로 개발된 측정방법을 이용하여 단기통 오토엔진에서 화염면의 공간적인 전파과정과 매우 희박한 공기 연료 혼합기 에서의 quench zone의 출현을 조사하였다. 측정결과들은 공기연료 혼합기가 희박해 질수록 화 염전파 과정이 점점 느려지는 것을 보여준다. 아주 높은 공기 과잉율을 갖는 엔진 운전에서는 화염속도와 연소속도가 매우 급하게 감소한다. 그리하여 화염면은 팽창 단계에서 상대적으로 증가하는 피스톤속도 때문에 더이상 피스톤을 따를 수가 없으며 그로 인해 직접 피스톤상부에 소염대가 형성된다. 그에 의해 배기가스에서의 hydrocarbon 방출의 급격한 증가와 효율이 급격히 감소하는 엔진 운전과 관련이 지어진다.

In the present study, the imbalance in the axial-thrust and variation in the volumetric efficiency that occurred during the trimming of impeller diameter were investigated. The present study was focused on low-specific-speed multistage centrifugal pumps with a balancing piston as the balancing mechanism. The effects of impeller trimming on the axial-thrust balance in multistage pumps with horizontal and vertical axes were compared. The results showed that impeller trimming resulted in an additional axial-thrust acting in direction of pump inlet. The axial-thrust imbalance due to impeller trimming was more severe in the vertical-axis pumps than in the horizontal-axis pumps. The rate of increase in the diameter of the balancing piston, which was proportional to the rate of impeller trimming, was evaluated to maintain the axial-thrust balance. Furthermore, a simultaneous increase in the piston length and piston diameter was more effective for reducing the axial-thrust imbalance along with the volumetric efficiency drop.

The torque ripple of the hydraulic pumps for the Electro-hydrostatic Actuators can disturb the cylinder position control under slewing speed operation condition. In principle, the periodic change of the reaction torque generated by a piston type pump is highly dependent on the waveform of its cylinder chamber pressure. In case of uni-directional pumps operating at constant speed, the transient overshoot and rising slope of the cylinder pressure can be adjusted by the precompression angle and notch shape of their valve plates. Therefore, the influence of the valve plate geometry on the torque ripple magnitude of a bent-axis type piston pump for EHA application was investigated in this study. The results showed that any improvement of the torque ripple of such a bi-directional pump can not be achieved by modifying the valve plate geometry, regardless of its operation speed.
