Due to the increased use of power caused by industrial development, the importance of improving wear and friction in the contact region has emerged. Except for some parts, such as brakes or clutches and friction, seals and precision mechanical parts (e.g., pistons, bearings, valves, and cams) are important engine components that require low friction characteristics. In this study, the experimental method used to determine the friction characteristics was based on the type of rpm with the pin-on-disc test device, the element analysis program ANSYS was used to analyze the surfaces of the two metals rubbing together, and physical formation FEM models were used to study the properties and wear. The friction coefficient of variation was unsafe, but at the start of wear, it converged to a stable friction coefficient that increased after a certain slip away.

Glass-ceramics possessed a number of characteristics which suggested their suggested their use for sealing to metals. The choice of particular glass-ceramics compositions for this application is governed by various factors, including workability of the glasses, thermal expansion characteristics and the matching of these to appropriate metals. Other properties, such as mechanical strength, determined the performance of glass-ceramics to metal seals. The purpose of the present study was to investigate direct sealing behaviour of copper to $Li_2O-ZnO-SiO_2$ system glass-ceramics. The design of the seal was a concentric seal which might contribute to the strong bond formation by providing compressive stress during thermal excursions. Tensile strengths of sealing layers were measured by Instron test machine. The layers were examined by electron probe microanalyzer. Crsystallization rate was increased with the amount of ZnO or $Li_2O$, and ZnO increased the sealing strength, but $Li_2O$ lowered it. Sealing mechanism was due to the formation of metal oxides, which acted as binder between copper and glass-ceramics. The nickle-plated copper seal with 10% $Li_2O$ and 30% ZnO was the most strong seal, and its sealing strength was more than 56kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

연료전지 내의 작동유체는 폭발성을 가지고 있기 때문에 솔레노이드 밸브의 실링특성은 일반적인 시스템에 비해 매우 중요하다 할 수 있다. 하지만, 이 시스템의 경우 작동 온도가 일반적인 경우에 비해 비교적 높으며, 작동 유체의 화학적 특성 때문에 실링에 사용되는 재질은 내화학성이 뛰어나면서도 연료전지 시스템에서 요구하는 수명을 보장해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 연료전지 내에서 사용가능한 솔레노이드 밸브의 실링 특성을 확인하기 위하여, 내화학성이 뛰어난 실링용 링의 재질인 불소고무에 대한 수명을 아레니우스(Arrhenius) 관계식을 이용하여 예측하였다. 또한, 수상치환법을 이용하여 실제 제작된 연료전지용 솔레노이드 밸브가 제품으로써 충분히 사용가능함을 확인하였다.

건설기계와 특장차의 상부와 하부 구조를 연결하는 로터리 조인트는 축과 하우징이 회전하면서 유압을 전달하는데 오일의 유로에 누유를 방지하기 위해 여러 개의 시일이 조립된다. 시일재료는 강성이 커서 조립에 어려움이 있기 때문에 자른 후 조립하는 방법을 모색하였다. 절단면의 모양은 L형과 /형으로 하였고 유압이 작용할 때 누유 기준은 절단면에 발생하는 접촉압력으로 하였다. 시일의 구조와 재료는 이중 탄성중합체로 구성되며 강성이 큰 PE 재질만 절단한 경우에 대하여 비선형 접촉 구조해석을 수행하였다. 연구결과 절단 길이가 짧을수록 누유 방지에 유리하며 PE와 하우징이 접촉하는 윗면보다 NBR과 PE가 접촉하는 아랫면으로 누유될 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Lip type stern tube sealing systems have used in almost all the middle or large ships which are being constructed in these days. It seems that the pressure fluctuation of the seal ring interspace, the cross-section profile and the materials quality of the seal rings have great effects on the sealing fuction of this sealing system. In this paper, the mechanical movement of lip seal ring which plays the most important role in stern tube sealing system and the possibility of leakage caused by pressure fluctuation are studied by theory and experiment. Using the finite element method for the axi-symetric object which receives the torsional load, the displacement and stress analysis of the seal rings, and also the possibility of crack occurance is checked by theoretical analysis. If the force which seal ring lip periphery receives is too small, there will be the possibility of leakage caused by the pressure fluctuation of the seal ring interspace, and if this force is too large, the frictional force between the seal ring and the liner will become problematical. The possibility of leakage caused by hardening of seal ring materials and creep phenomena of tested seal rings are also examined. The trial seal rings were designed and manufactured using the program of displacement and stress analysis developed in this study and the experimental apparatus to test the trial seal rings was also designed and manufactured. This trial seal rings were fitted in the experimental apparatus which was made in the same form as an actual stern tube. The one side of this apparatus was filled with sea water and the other side of it was filled with the lubricating oil. The leakage of oil and sea water was checked and the temperature was measured, rotating the propeller shaft at the constant velocity by D.C. motor. It was proved that the trial seal rings made in Viton rubber functioned excellenty but the trial seal rings made in N.B.R. rubber had problem in its durability.

In the case of high-voltage connectors applied to automobiles, waterproofing has become an important issue for the safety of automobiles. In this study, structural analysis is performed on silicone rubber-type waterproof seals used in the voltage connector. For the structural analysis, the tensile properties of the actual rubber seal are evaluated using a miniaturized tensile testing machine. The Mooney-Rivlin material constants of the rubber seal are determined as follows; $D_1=0$, $C_{01}=0.241$, $C_{10}=0.0142$. The analysis shows that the contact pressure at the top of the seal where the seal and male connector are in contact is approximately three times higher than that at the bottom of the seal where the seal and female connector are in contact. It is confirmed that the waterproofing performance of the rubber seal depends on the contact pressure of the seal bottom where the seal and female connector are in contact. The contact pressure for waterproofing is found to be 4.7 bar. The strain concentration of the curved part is attributed to excessive initial tension. Therefore, a redesign is recommended for uniform stress or strain distribution in the curved section of the seal in response to the stress relaxation problem due to permanent deformation.
