본 연구에서는 토크로드의 여러가지 성능시험이 하능한 시험기의 설계와 개발 에 관하여 논하려 한다. 토크 로드의 정적 성능은, 반경방향 스프링 특성시험 및 비 틀림 방향 스프링 특성시험 그리고 회전토크 특성시험 등을 통하여 평가된다. 그러 나, 이들 세가지 성능시험을 위한 시험기를 각각 개발할 경우 소요비용이 과다해진다. 따라서, 한정된 예산과 시험기 개발후 시험평가 공정의 간소화 등을 고려하여, 본 시 험기는 3대의 시험기로써 하여야 할 기능을 한대의 시험기로써 할수 있도록 개발하였 다. 시험기 개발에 따른 기술적인 고찰과, 본 시험기로 정하중에서의 토크 로드 부 품의 성능시험을 수행하고 서어보 유압식 구조물 피로 시험기를 사용하여 동 부품의 피로 내구성 시험을 실시하고, 고무의 조성변화, 접착성 개선 등을 통해 내구성을 향 상시킴으로 국산화 개발을 가능케 한 기술적 내용들을 살펴 보고자 한다.

The bushing element shows nonlinear characteristics in both displacements and frequencies, also with hysteretic responses for repeated vibrational excitations. Since the characteristics of the rubber bushing significantly affects the accuracy of the vehicle dynamic simulation result, it should be accurately modeled in the vehicle suspension model. To develop an accurate bushing model for vehicle dynamics analysis, the bushing characteristics under several excitation inputs must be known. In this paper, a 3-axis tester was used to capture the bushing characteristics. The random inputs, sine inputs, and step inputs were imposed on each axis of the bushing. Also, two-axis inputs, the radial-axial and radial-normal inputs, were simultaneously imposed on the tester. Three-axis inputs including the radial-axial-normal direction were supplied to the tester. Bushing characteristics of each case were precisely analyzed. These results could be available for dynamic modeling of bushing.

Applying design methodology, new type friction tester has been developed. Functional analysis has been executed and functional structure were constructed during the conceptual design. Optimal solution has been selected and a proto model has been manufactured according to the conceptual design. Using the tester developed in the laboratory, frictional characteristics of natural rubbers have been experimentally analyzed. Friction coefficient has been calculated from the measured normal force and friction force under various speeds, loads, and temperatures. The corelations between the various operating conditions and friction coefficients have been verified. Especially, drag friction due to the visco-elastic behavior of the rubber has been observed in this analysis.

To apply the wear resistant steel plate for heavy duty vehicle, the wear characterisms of various kinds of commercial steel plates were invesigated by dry sand/rubber wheel tester which was tested under scratch abrasion mode. The wear tested pnaterials were boron steels which were manufactured by thereto machanical control process (TMCP) in order to achieve higher hardness. As the result of the test, wear resistance of steel plate increases with the hardness and carbon content. The wear loss of wear resistance steel plate (Hv440) is a half times than tinat of SWS490A (Hv160) steel plate in dry sand-rubber wheel test and the result in field test is similar to this dry sand/rubber wheel test result. Therefore, dry sand/rubber wheel tester can be used to predict the scratch abrasion life of the parts for heavy duty vehicle.

It is positively necessary to study on the stiffness of a 13degree-type impact tester in order to improve the fracture prediction of impact testing in wheels using FE(finite-element) analysis. The 13degree-type impact tester consists of an impact striker, a wheel fixer, a steel plate, and four cylindrical rubbers. Important parts of the tester are the steel plate and four cylindrical rubbers which play a role of absorbing impact energy during impact testing. Because of these buffers, the RF(reaction force) variation of the lower part in the 13degree-type impact tester showed the tendency like a damped harmony oscillation during impact testing. In order to investigate the stiffness of a 13degree-type impact tester, this work measured each stiffness of a steel plate and cylindrical rubbers. The stiffness of a cylindrical rubber was measured using a compressive tester. On the other hand, the stiffness of a steel plate was predicted by simulating experimental method using FE analysis.

The abrasion resistances of silica-filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds prepared with and without dicyclopentadiene resin (SBR-R and SBR-0, respectively) were studied using four different abrasion testers, namely cut and chip (CC), Lambourn, DIN, and laboratory abrasion tester (LAT100). The effect of the resin on the abrasion behavior was elucidated by analyzing the morphologies and size distributions of wear particles. All the wear particles had rough surfaces, but those obtained in the Lambourn abrasion test exhibited relatively smooth surfaces. The size distributions of the wear particles showed different trends depending on the abrasion tester and the rubber compound; however, most of the wear particles were larger than 1000 ㎛. The SBR-R sample showed a wide range of particle sizes (from 63 ㎛) in the LAT100 abrasion test and majority of the wear particles were 500-1000 ㎛, whereas the SBR-0 sample had the most distribution of larger than 1000 ㎛. The abrasion rates of SBR-0 sample were lower than those of the SBR-R sample for the CC and LAT100 abrasion tests, but the Lambourn abrasion test result showed the opposite trend. Addition of the resin influenced the abrasion behavior, however the effect varied depending on the type of abrasion tests.

A typical wear pattern was reported to resemble the fatigue crack growth behavior considering its mechanism, especially for amorphous rubbers such as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). In this study, the wear and crack growth rates were correlated using two separate experiments for carbon black and silica-reinforced selected rubber compounds. The wear rate was determined using a blade-type abrasion tester, where the frictional energy input during wearing was measured. The crack propagation rate was determined under different tearing energy inputs using a home-made fatigue tester, with a pure-shear test specimen containing pre-cracks. The rates of abrasion and crack propagation were plotted on a log-log scale as a function of frictional and tearing energies, respectively. Reasonable agreement was observed, indicating that the major mechanism of the abrasion pattern involved repeated crack propagation.

The abrasion behaviors of NR/BR blend vulcanizates were investigated using NR/BR = 100/0, 80/20, and 60/40 compounds. The abrasion test was performed using a laboratory abrasion tester (LAT) at slip angles of 1° and 7°. The size distributions of the wear particles and the abrasion rates were examined according to the rubber compositions and slip angles. The most abundant wear particles at the slip angle of 1° were sizes above 1,000 ㎛, irrespective of the rubber composition. The most abundant wear particles at 7° slip angle had sizes in the range of 212-500 ㎛, except for the NR = 100 sample. The wear particle size distribution shifted to a smaller size as the slip angle and BR content increased. The abrasion rate at 7° was much larger than that at 1° slip angle. Furthermore, the abrasion rate was notably increased by adding BR to NR.

Mechanical systems with rubber parts have been used widely in industry fields. The evaluation of the physical characteristics of rubber is important in rubber application. Rubber material is useful to machine component for excellent shock absorbing characteristics. The impact characteristics of rubber were examined by experimental and finite element method. The impact test was conducted with a free-drop type impact tester. The ABAQUS/Explicit was used for finite element analysis. The effects of thickness and diameter of the cylindrical rubber structures were investigated. The impact absorbing ratio of the rubber material was studied order to compare the peak reaction force of the specimen which only contained aluminum against the specimen with the inserted rubber part.
