Lubricant-based nanofluids were prepared by dispersing carbon nanoparticles in gear oil. In this study, the effects of the particle size, shape and dispersity of the particles on the tribological properties of nanofluids were investigated. Dispersion experiments were conducted with a high-speed bead mill and an ultrasonic homogenizer, and the surfaces of the nanoparticles were simultaneously modified with several dispersants. The effective thermal conductivity of the nanofluids was measured by the transient hot-wire method, and the tribological behaviors of the nanofluids were also investigated with a disk-on-disk tribo-tester. The results of this study clearly showed that the combination of the nanoparticles, the deagglomeration process, the dispersant and the dispersion solvent is very important for the dispersity and tribological properties of nanofluids. Lubricant-based nanofluids showed relatively low thermal conductivity enhancement, but they were highly effective in decreasing the frictional heat that was generated. For nanofluids containing 0.1vol.% graphite particles in an oil lubricant, The friction coefficient in the boundary and fluid lubrication range was reduced to approximately 70% of the original value of pure lubricant.

This study presents an analytical model of the pneumatic circuit of an air suspension system to analyze the characteristics of vehicle height control. The analytical model was developed through the co-simulation of Simulink(air spring) and HyPneu(pneumatic circuit). Variant effective area of air spring and flow coefficients of pneumatic valves were estimated experimentally prior to the system test, and utilized in simulation. One-comer test apparatus was established using the components of commercial air suspension products. The results of simulation and experiment were so close that the proposed analytical model in this study was validated. However the frictional loss of conduit and heat dissipation which were ignored in this study need to be considered in future study. As an application example of proposed analytical model, an alternative pneumatic circuit of air suspension to conventional WABCO circuit was evaluated. The comparison of simulation results of WABCO circuit and alternative circuit show that proposed analytical model of co-simulation in this study is useful for the study of pneumatic system of automotive air suspension.

Piezoelectric ceramics is an active element that makes stator to vibrate to generate rotational force in ultrasonic motors. In drive of ultrasonic motors, many factors that affect to the resonance characteristics of piezoelectric ceramics exist. For example, those factors are bonding condition with elastic body, the magnitude of electric field, the normal force for frictional drive and the emission of heat due to vibration and friction and so on. Therefore, it is important to research the inclination of property variation of piezoelectric ceramics in circumstance that has complex elements. In this paper, we focused and analyzed the resonance characteristics of ultrasonic motor due to the magnitude of the driving voltage and normal force.

Friction stir welding(FSW) is an relatively new solid state joining process. A1606l-T6 aluminium alloy has gathered wide acceptance in the fabrication of light weight structures requiring a high strength to weight ratio and good corrosion resistance. This friction stir process(FSP) uses a non-consumable tool to generate frictional heat in the abutting surfaces. The welding parameters such as tool rotational speed, welding speed, etc., and tool pin profile playa major role in deciding FSP zone formation in A16061-T6 aluminium alloy. Tow different tool pin profiles have been used to fabricate the joints. The formation of friction stir processed zone has been analysed macroscopically. Tensile properties of the joints have been evaluated and correlated with the friction stir processed zone formation.

Design practice has been made on an oil-less scroll air compressor as an air supply device for a 2 kW fuel cell system where air pressure of 2 bar and flow rate of 120 liter/min are required. Basic structure of the scroll compressor includes double-sided scroll wrap for the orbiting scroll driven by two crankshafts connected to each other by a timing belt. These features can eliminate thrust surface which otherwise would produce frictional heat and jeopardize reliable operation of the orbiting scroll and the scroll element's deformation as well. This study focuses on optimum scroll wrap design; orbiting radius has been chosen as an independent design parameter. As the orbiting radius changes, scroll sizes such as scroll base plate and discharge port diameters change accordingly. Gas compression-related losses and mechanical loss also change with the orbiting radius. With a scroll base plate diameter of 120mm at most and discharge port of at least 10mm, the orbiting radius should be within the range of 2.5-4.0mm. With this range of the orbiting radius, it was estimated by performance analysis that the compressor efficiency reached to a maximum of ${\eta}_c$=96% at the orbiting radius of $r_s$=3.5mm for the scroll wrap height-to-thickness ratio of h/t=5.

In the current paper, a generalization of the results of Zhao et al. (2008) on a new design of C/C composite multidisc brake system is presented. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of thermal sensitivity of Carbon/Carbon (C/C) composite material on the temperature distributions, deformation, and stress during braking. In this regard, a transient temperature-displacement coupled analysis for C/C composite brake discs with frictional heat generation under simulated operating conditions is performed. An axisymmetric model for brake system is used for the finite element analysis according to the theory of energy transformation and transportation. The transient temperature distributions on the friction surfaces, deformation, and stress are obtained. To check the validity, the results are corroborated with other solutions available in the literature, wherever possible. The current study could be used as a guide in the initial design of a high performance multidisc brake system.

The importance of dual-fuel engines has increased for reducing CO₂ emissions. However, the low operating temperature of this engine may induce low-temperature corrosion at combustion parts, which reduces the engine service life. To overcome this problem, NiCr38Al4 alloy was developed for valve spindle, but the cost of this alloy is expensive due to its high Cr content. For reducing the manufacturing cost of valve spindle, in the present work, NiCr38Al4 alloy was welded with Nimonic80A alloy by conducting friction welding. The tensile test results show that the strength of friction-welded specimens follows the properties of the lower-strength parent materials, without severe cracks at the interface. The large shear strain and frictional heat from friction welding not only reduce grain size but also induce solute element diffusion at the interfacial region. Because of the low Cr diffusivity compared with Ti, Cr carbides were not observed in the Nimonic80A matrix, while Ti carbides were distributed in both the Nimonic80A and SNCrW matrices.

Research to replace metal mechanical elements with polymer materials has recently accelerated. However, polymers exhibit less favorable mechanical properties than metal materials, and are often easily worn-out owing to frictional heat when their mechanical elements contact while in relative motion. Therefore, research on the polymer tribological properties is required to employ polymer materials in mechanical elements operating under harsh conditions. In this study, we examine the effect of mechanical part operating temperatures on the material friction and wear characteristics of polymer materials. We conduct ball-on-disk friction tests under dry conditions at various temperatures, using a metal ball with high hardness and a polymer as the counter surface. Each test is repeated at least three times to ensure the reliability of the test results. Before the friction test, we analyze the surface hardness and roughness of each polymer specimen; after the friction test, we use a three-dimensional confocal microscope to compare and analyze the polymer specimen wear characteristics. Based on this study, we systematically elucidate the polymer material tribological characteristics. This information should be useful for selecting and utilizing polymer materials at various temperatures.

마찰교반용접은 소재와 용접 툴 간의 마찰열에 의해 접합되는 고상접합 공정이다. 용접 시 발생하는 입열량에 따라 용접부의 건전성이 결정된다. 과도한 입열량은 산화물 및 기공결함의 원인이 되며, 불충분한 입열량은 터널결함 등의 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서 마찰교반용접부 중심에서의 온도 이력을 파악하는 것은 건전성을 판단하는 데 있어 매우 중요한 연구이다. 본 연구에서는 마그네슘 합금소재에 대한 마찰교반용접부의 온도분포 특성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 유한요소해석을 통한 마찰교반용접부의 유동장 및 온도분포를 예측하였다. 유한요소해석을 위해 용접 툴 형상 간소화, 마찰 조건 선정 등 선행 해석을 수행하고 최적조건을 도출하였다. 또한, 해석모델의 검증을 위해 마그네슘 합금의 맞대기 마찰교반용접 시 용접부 중앙에서의 온도를 측정하였다. 유한요소해석 결과 마찰교반용접부의 온도에 영향을 미치는 주요변수의 기여도는 회전속도가 이송속도보다 더 높은 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 용접부 중심에서의 실측 온도와 유한요소해석 결과 사이에 5.4% - 7.7% 수준의 오차 내에서 잘 일치하였다.

2009년 NASA에서 수행된 달 극지 탐사 미션을 통해 달 극지의 영구음영지역에 얼음 층이 존재한다는 증거가 발견되었다. 이후, 달 극지 지역 얼음 층 탐사를 위한 지반 특성 평가 연구들이 국내외적으로 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 달 영구음영지역의 지반온도변화를 예측하고, 얼음 층이 지반 온도 프로파일에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하고자 달 지반에 대한 비정상 상태 열 해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석결과를 통해 위도 86° 이상에서 달 지반 내부의 온도가 얼음승화 기준온도인 112 K 이하로 수렴한다는 것을 확인하였고, 이는 달 극지 내 얼음 층이 존재하고 있을 가능성이 높은 지역을 확률적으로 판단할 수 있는 근거가 되었다. 얼음 층이 매장되어 있는 깊이에 따라 지반 온도 프로파일에 미치는 영향정도가 다르게 나타났는데, 온도 편차가 큰 얕은 심도에 존재하는 얼음 층은 이질적인 온도분포 특성을 초래한다는 사실을 확인하였다. 또한, 본 연구는 매장된 얼음의 상을 보존하도록 하는 드릴 비트의 최대 허용 마찰열에 대해서 고찰하였다.
