The rotary joint connecting the upper and lower structures of construction machinery and special vehicles transmits hydraulic pressure as the shaft and housing rotate, and multiple seals are assembled to prevent oil leakage into the oil flow channel. Because the seal material is rigid and difficult to assemble, we sought a method to assemble it after cutting. The shapes of the cutting surface are L-shaped and / shaped, and the leakage standard when hydraulic pressure is applied is the contact pressure generated on the cutting surface. The structure and material of the seal are composed of a double elastomer, and nonlinear contact structural analysis is performed when only the high-rigidity PE material is cut. Studies have shown that the shorter the cutting length, the better the leakage prevention and the higher the possibility of leakage to the bottom surface where NBR and PE come into contact rather than the top surface where the PE and the housing come into contact.

This paper presents a tribological study on the failure cases of automatic transmission components in a passenger car. The automatic transmission system is composed of torque converter, clutch, brake, planetary gear, and valve body controlling oil pressure of an automatic transmission fluid. The most largest influence components in an automatic transmission are a torque converter and clutch plate in which are influenced by a wear and torque converting energy loss. The failure case study of an automatic transmission indicates that the tribological design and maintenance technologies should be considered as a key design concept. This means that the failure and power energy loss come from the friction, wear and a oil leakage of an automatic transmission, which is related to the oil seal and O-ring seal failures.

On designing of hydrostatic bearing, load, quantity of oil, stiffness and friction load are considered as basic characteristics. For the analysis of these basic characteristics, pressure distribution by oil film is obtained. Speed of piston, clearance, leakage of oil, eccentricity, shape and roughness of bearing affect the results which are the analysis of basic characteristics of load, quantity of oil, stiffness and friction load. The relationship among those factors are required for optimum designing of hydrostatic bearing for machining tool. Reynold's Equation is calculated through finite element method. Load, leakage of quantity and pressure distribution as variation of length, land length ratio, eccentricity and axial velocity of bearing are investigated. Then optimum design variables are obtained.

A successful operation of underground oil storage cavern depends on water-tightness around cavern by groundwater. If water-tightness is not secured, gas bubbles would leak out and oil would migrate to an adjacent empty cavern. In this research an electrical analogy method was employed to study the influence of shape of cavern on gas leakage and the required natural groundwater level, relative oil level in two neighboring caverns and cavern spacing to prevent oil migration. The results show that gas leakage is prevented from a cavern with a ceiling of large curvature. The required values of factors to curtail the migration of oil are given on a graph.

This paper provides the effects on the leakage characteristics of the surface roughness of a valve stem in LPG automotive. The valve stem seal is to stop an oil leakage through a sealing gap between a valve stem and a valve stem seal. The sealing performance of two components is related to a leak safety and a long life of a valve stem and a valve stem seal. The experimental results show that the optimal surface roughness of a valve stem is to recommend as $0.4{\sim}0.5{\mu}m$ in a centerline average roughness, Ra and a uniformly distributed profile of the roughness. Basically the smooth surface and uniform profiles of the roughness may reduce an oil leakage between a valve stem and a valve stem seal.

Piston-cylinder system are widely used in power engineering applications. In reciprocating refrigeration compressors, where extremely low friction losses are required, ringless pistons are being used to diminish the friction between piston rings and cylinder wall. Since the ringless piston has the freedom of lateral motion there is a potential danger that it will occasionally hit the cylinder wall while moving up and down along it's axis. A good design must therefore provide a smooth and stable reciprocating motion of the piston and ensure that the fluid film separating the piston from the cylinder wall is maintained all times. And the compromise between refrigerant gas leakage through the piston-cylinder clearance and the friction losses is required utilizing a dynamic analysis of the secondary motion for the high efficiency compressor. To this end, the computer program is developed for calculating the entire piston trajectory and the lubrication characteristics as functions of crank angle under compressor running conditions. The results explored the effects of some design parameters and operating conditions on the stability of the piston, the oil leakage, and friction losses.

3-way ball valves have been mostly used for high temperature/high pressure valves using in petrochemical carriers and oil tankers, which requires high quality products with confidentiality and durability. As a larger disaster may be generated by leakage of oil or gas from valves, thus the present research applied a numerical analysis method with thermal-structural coupled field analysis and the performance test. The Max stress by parts was confirmed through thermal-structural coupled field analysis and develop the 3-way ball valve design, which is safe on operating condition. And its performance was verified by carrying out pressure test, leakage test and durability test for the manufactured 3-way ball valves with satisfying it's regulations.

Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) values is determined numerically with T or Z-score while the image is not considered in the interpretation. Abnormal finding was observed in the left femoral bone density image of a 64-year-old female patient who underwent a left kidney transplantation. This was due to the ethiodized oil used for embolization in the treatment of lymphatic leakage. Radiologic technologists should not only monitor changes of BMD values, but keep in mind to assess the changes in the image to provide accurate information to the patient.

In this study, we conducted an impact assessment of the amount of volatile organic solvents addition on hybrid water-proofing system of urethane waterproof coating material and modified asphalt sheet. Also, we conducted a comparative assessment of whether modified asphalt sheet is dissolved or not and oil leakage by dissolution in order to perform a comparative analysis of characteristics of the impact on modified asphalt sheet according to the volatility of volatile organic solvents included in urethane waterproof coating material. The test was carried out by adding the same amount of organic solvents into each experimental group which is subject to volatility and non-volatility of organic solvents, respectively. The results of the test showed that in both experimental groups modified asphalt sheet was dissolved when adding over 10 percent of organic solvents regardless of volatility, and oil leakage observed only in the experimental group subject to volatility.
