In many dynamic seals such as lip seal and compression packings, it is well known that wear occur at the surface of heat treated steel shaft as results of the intervened wear particle. It is widely understood that the dominant wear mechanism related in sealing surfaces is abrasive wear. However, little analytical and experimental studies about this problems have been done until now. In this paper, a contact analysis is carried out using MARC to investigate the wear mechanism in contact seal applications considering elastomeric seal, a elastic perfect-plastic micro-spherical particle and steel surface. Deformed seal shapes, contact and von-Mises stress distributions for various particle sizes and interference are showed. The maximum von-Mises stress within steel shaft was exceeded its yield strength and plastic deformation occurred at steel surface. Therefore, the sealing surface can be also worn by sub-surface fatigue due to wear particles together with well known abrasion. The numerical methods and models used in this paper can be applied in design of dynamic sealing systems, and further intensive studies are required.

Seals are very useful machine components in protection of leakage of lubricant or working fluid, and incoming of debris from outside. Various elastomer are widely used as sealing materials and the shaft surfaces are generally coated with high hardness material after heat treatment. It is generally known that the foreign debris and wear particles get stuck into sealing surface, the steel shaft surface can be damaged and worn by mainly abrasive wear. In this paper, using MARC, contact analysis are conducted to show the hard coated steel shaft surface can be fatigue failed by very small elastic particle intervened between seal and steel surface. Variations of contact and von-Mises stress distributions and contact half-widths with interference and coating thickness are presented. The maximum von-Mises stress occurs always in the coating layer or between coated layer/substrate interface. Therefore the coated sealing surface can be fatigued and then failed by very small particles. The results can be used in design of sealing surface and further studies are required.

대기압 플라즈마를 이용하여 폴리프로필렌 필름의 표면을 처리한 후 각각 극성 용매(water)와 비극성 용매(diiodomethane)를 사용한 접촉각 측정기로 필름 표면의 접촉각을 측정하였다. 측정된 접촉각을 이용해 표면 자유에너지 변화를 계산한 후 대기압 플라즈마 처리 전후의 폴리프로필렌 필름의 접촉각과 표면 자유에너지 상태를 비교, 분석하였다. 또한 대기압 플라즈마의 처리 조건을 바꿔가며 폴리프로필렌 필름 표면을 처리함으로써 접촉각과 표면 자유에너지가 각각의 처리 조건에 따라 어떠한 영향을 받는지 연구하였다. 대기압 플라즈마 처리 조건에 따라 접촉각 및 표면 자유에너지는 최적값을 보여주거나 일정한 값에 도달하는 경향을 보여 주었다.

This study was performed to evaluate the difference of the bone-to-implant contact according to the surface roughness of the implants. Two beagles were used in the experiment. Extraction of the all premolars was performed in the mandible. In 3 months of healing, screw-shaped pure titanium machined surface implants (Implantium(R), Dentium Co. Korea), implants blasted with 45${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ particles, (Implantium(R), Dentium Co. Korea) and implants blasted with 100${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ particles (Implantium(R), Dentium Co. Korea) in diameter 3.4mm and length 6mm were installed in the edentulous mandible. Each dog was sacrificed at 4, 12 weeks after placement and then nondecalcified specimens were prepared for histologic analysis. The results of this study were as follows. 1. At 4 , 12 weeks after the surgery, bone-to-implant contact in the surface blasted with $TiO_2$ particles was higher than that in the pure titanium machined surface respectively. 2. Osseointegration in the surface blasted with 45${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ particles was more increased than that in the surface blasted with 100${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ particles. 3. Bone-to-implant contact was increased with time independent of surface roughness. 4. Bone formation was in the outfolded area more than inside the threads independent of surface roughness. From the above results, we were able t o find the most bone-to-implant contact in 45${\mu}m$ $TiO_2$ blasted implant.

Surface pitting is a major failure mode for gears. The contact fatigue life analysis of transmission gear considering running-in process is presented in this paper. Surface roughness change of rolling test is used in a life analysis. Contact stresses are obtained by contact analysis of a semi-infinite solid based on the use of influence functions; the subsurface stress field is obtained using rectangular patch solutions. Mesoscopic multiaxial fatigue criterion which can yield satisfactory results for non-proportional loading is then applied to predict fatigue damage. Suitable counting method and damage rule were used to calculate the fatigue life of random loading caused by rough surface. The life analysis considering running-in is in good agreement with the experimental results.

For most bearings, it is a common requirement to have long durability. Especially wheel bearing fatigue life is the most important in automotive quality. The contact fatigue life analysis of automotive wheel bearing considering real raceway rough surface is presented in this paper. Contact stresses are obtained by contact analysis of a semi-infinite solid based on the use of influence functions; the subsurface stress field is obtained using rectangular patch solutions. Mesoscopic multiaxial fatigue criterion which can yield satisfactory results for non-proportional loading is then applied to predict fatigue damage. Suitable counting method and damage rule were used to calculate the fatigue life of random loading caused by rough surface. The life analysis considering real rough surface of wheel bearing raceway is in good agreement with the experimental results.

Surface damage accumulation of alumina ceramics under the cyclic stress state was analyzed. The alternating stress state in repeat pass sliding contact was simulated by a synchronized biaxial (normal and tangential) repeated indentation technique. Wear debris formation mechanism through damage accumulation and fatigue grain failure in both alumina ceramic balls and flat disks was confirmed, and the contact induced surface degradation due to fatigue cracking accumulation was quantified by measuring vertical contact displacement. Variation of structural compliance (slope of load-displacement curve) of two contacting bodies was expressed as a variation of the apparent elastic property, called pseudo-elastic constant, of the contact system.

This paper deals with the calculation of contact resistance depending on the applied force by modeling surface roughness. The true contact surface area is made up of many asperities of varying heights which is close to Gaussian distribution. The mean square deviation and the mean value of the Gaussian distributed asperity heights were determined in this paper. The elastic deformation of the surface asperities according to the increasing of applied force were considered. The contact resistance was also calculated by using the Greenwood analysis.

The effect of surface roughness on the contact fatigue was investigated in this study. To accomplish this goal, contact analysis based on the influence functions and the rectangular patch solution was performed to obtain the subsurface stress. Mesoscopic multiaxial fatigue criterion is then applied to predict fatigue damage. Suitable counting method and damage rule were used to evaluate the fatigue life of random loading caused by rough surface. As a result of the analysis, relationship between the life and roughness as well as the creack initiation depth was revealed. Below the critical roughness, It is observed that the fatigue life has hardly changed and creack is initiated around the depth at which the maximum shear stress occurs. Different behavior, however, is observed in case that the roughness is above the critical value.

Under nuclear reactor severe accidents, the resuspension of radioactive aerosol may occur in the containment due to the disturbing airflow generated by hydrogen combustion, hydrogen explosion and containment depressurization resulting in the increase of radioactive source term in the containment. In this paper, for containment conditions, by considering the contact between particle and rough deposition surface, the distribution of the distance between two contact points of particle and deposition surface, rolling and lifting separation mechanism, resuspension model based on random contact with rough surface (RRCR) is established. Subsequently, the detailed torque and force analysis is carried out, which indicates that particles are more easily resuspended by rolling under low disturbing airflow velocity. The simulation result is compared with the experimental result and the prediction of different simulation methods, the RRCR model shows equivalent and better predictive ability, which can be applicable for simulation of aerosol resuspension in containment during severe accident.
