Automotive transmission systems are assembled with a large number of gears and shafts, and rolling bearings are used to ensure their smooth operation. Gear oil in the gear box contains solid particles such as wear debris from contacting gears and metallic chips. This particle-enriched lubricating oil can cause premature failure of the rolling bearings. Research aimed at improving the service life of these rolling bearings has been confined mainly to design and lubrication of the inner/outer rings and the rolling elements. In this paper, we redesigned the shape of the cage pocket of a deep groove ball bearing to reduce the premature failure due to particle contamination. Test bearings are assembled with this new cage design containing a hole punched in the cage pocket. Endurance tests are carried out using the contaminated lubricating oil with miracle grid as hard particle. The duration and damaged bearing component shapes are compared for two different cages. The B₁₀ life of bearing with new cage is increased by about 66% compared to the conventional cage. This is because the hard particles can be easily discharged through the pocket hole without staying for a long time in the lubrication regions. This greatly decreases abrasive wear and dents on the highly stressed ball bearing surfaces. Therefore, the cage design of this study, containing a pocket hole, can significantly delay the premature failure of rolling bearings and improve the endurance life.

Rolling bearings are classified one of the most important machine elements. The various function of bearings are greatly influenced by grease, and higher performance of rolling bearing greases is required to improve bearing lubrication. Three urea/ether oil greases with different composition were synthesized to compare the performance of these greases. The typical grease physical properties were investigated, and life test of these greases was conducted by FE-9 grease life tester. The grease with higher content of the thickener showed higher performance. After these preliminary test, twelve greases were synthesized and evaluated the performance of dropping point and OIT value. And optimized conditions for grease synthesis were selected by SSRED (Six Sigma Robust Engineering Design) using dropping point and OIT value respectively. The optimized grease using OIT value showed longer grease life than that using dropping point. Two greases were synthesized following the optimum synthesis conditions by means of OIT value. Then grease life and other properties of these greases were investigated. These two greasaes showed longer grease life than typical urea/ether oil grease.

Rolling bearings are classified one of the most important machine elements. The various function of bearings are greatly influenced by grease, and higher performance of rolling bearing greases is required in improve bearing lubrication. Three urea/ether oil greases with identical composition were synthesized to compare the performance of these greases according to the thickener content of grease. The typical grease physical properties were investigated. And life test of these greases was conducted by FE-9 grease life tester. The characteristics of the greases before and after life test were investigated using FT-IR, microscope, OIT and TAN meter. Large differences in the grease performance depending on the content of the thickener were observed. The grease with higher content of the hickener showed higher performance such as long life time and low TAN value. After preliminary test, twelve greases were synthesized and evaluated the performance of dropping point and OIT, then optimized two greases were selected by SSRED (Six Sigma Robust Engineering Design) using dropping point and OIT data. Characteristics of the optimized two greases were on the same level with estimated value. The optimized grease by means of OIT value showed longer grease life in comparison with optimized grease by dropping point. However two greases showed higher performance than typical urea/ether oil.

The rolling fatigue lives (RFL) of five kinds of silicon nitride balls were investigated. Four kinds of Si$_3$N$_4$balls were fabricated using different raw materials, sintering aids and sintering conditions. Commercially available Si$_3$N$_4$ball was also studied for comparison. All the balls were finished up to the dimensional accuracy of Grade 10 defined in KS B 2001 (Steel Balls fer Ball Bearings) with a size of 9.525 mm. RFL tests were then conducted under the initial theoretical maximum contact stress 6.38 GPa and the spindle speed 10,000 rpm. Gear oil was provided by oiled race as lubricant. The results of RFL test indicated the prerequisitic conditions for the long rolling life of Si$_3$N$_4$ball : (1) the high density, (2) microstructures consisted of small uniformly distributed grains, (3) little glassy phase in grainboundary, and (4) little crystalline phase and secondary phase that induces residual thermal stress due to the differences of thermal expansion coefficient with Si$_3$N$_4$phase.

The shot peening treatment were conducted for improving the strength of rolling contact fatigue of machine element like a gear. This paper was undertaken to analyze the influence of shot peening treatment for inner race of ball bearing on the rolling contact fatigue. Shot peening treatment were applied to the full hardened and the carbonitrided bearing. And the rolling contact fatigue life test and X-ray diffraction test were carried out. The results of this study showed that the fatigue life of ball bearing in the clean and the contaminated oil could be improved by shot peening treatment. This effect was found to be more pronounced to the full hardened bearing. These facts might be due to the generation of compressive residual stress and the strain hardening of surface layer by shot peening treatment. The failure of the shot peened bearing were presumed to initiate at surface.

Environmental conservation is becoming the major conversation topic in the 21st century, the era of environment. In the Law for the Preservation of Water Quality, article 53 states "A business unit which is doing business causing pollution caused by non-point pollutant or builds waste water discharge facilities, should report the installation of the non-point pollutant and install the required pollution control facilities". Environmental pollution caused by oil leaks during operation or maintenance has been found in the railway sector. Especially, rolling stock depot is most likely to be affected by environmental pollution. Therefore, in this paper We have investigated non-point pollutant in the rolling stock depot area and have studied adequate disposal method to minimize the effect of the non-point pollutant, hoping to supply the preliminary data for building an environment-friendly rolling stock depot.

We developed functional synthetic lubricant for internal combustion engine oil, which would improve engine oil performance for internal combustion engine and extend engine life. We made base oil by synthesizing nonanoic acid, 1.1.1-trimethylol propane (which has good bio-degradability) and pentaerythrytol ester. We synthesized catalyst using p-toluene sulfonic acid 0.15 wt% and coloring-prevention agent hypo-phosphorus acid 0.18 wt% at 180-$190^{\circ}C$. Reaction temperature was increased at the rate of $10^{\circ}C$ for every 1 hour. When acid value reached below 3, reaction was completed. After cooling and deoxidization, we washed it by distilled water two times. After dehydration and filtering, we obtained trimethylol propane tripelargonate (TMTP) and pentaerythrytol tetrapelargonate (PETP) at yields of 96 % and 98 % respectively.

석유제품은 1997년 이후 석유가격자유화가 시행됨에 따라 1990년대 중반을 기점으로 규제가격에서 시장가격으로 전환된 반면, 전력은 계속 규제가격으로 남아 있다. 이러한 가격규제제도의 차이는 최근에 관찰되고 있는 석유와 전력의 수요행태의 차이, 즉 전력수요의 지속적 증가와 석유소비 정체를 가져온 주요 요인으로 볼 수 있다. 이를 확인하기 위하여 본고에서는 석유제품과 전력의 수요추정식을 바탕으로 1981년부터 2011년 사이 월별 데이터를 10년의 표본기간으로 나누어 1년씩 이동시키는 이동회귀분석(rolling regression)을 통해 탄력성의 변화를 추적했고, 다음과 같은 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 첫째, 1990년대 중반 이후 휘발유와 경유의 가격탄력성은 더 탄력적으로 변화한 반면, 가정용과 산업용 전력의 가격탄력성은 오히려 더 비탄력적으로 변화하였다. 둘째, 생산(소득)탄력성의 경우에는 석유제품과 전력에서 뚜렷한 패턴차이를 보이지 않고 있으며, 1990년대를 기준으로 나눈 시기별로도 특이한 변화가 나타나지도 않고 있다. 셋째, 휘발유와 경유 간에만 교차탄력성이 유의적으로 추정되었으며, 1990년대 중반 이전에는 휘발유의 교차탄력성이 의미를 가지는 반면, 1990년대 중반 이후에는 경유의 교차 탄력성이 의미를 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

초소형 가스터빈에 사용되는 소형 고속 구름베어링의 연료윤활 특성을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 윤활유로는 항공용 가스터빈에서 사용되는 MIL-PRF-7808 터빈오일과 항공용 가스터빈의 추진연료로 사용되는 JP-8 연료를 사용하여 운용특성을 비교하였고, 시험용 베어링으로는 내경 17 mm의 깊은 홈(deep groove) ball bearing과 내경 20 mm의 원통형(cylindrical) roller bearing을 사용하였다. 베어링의 연료윤활에 따른 특성을 비교하기 위하여 오일 및 연료를 공급하며 고속베어링 시험을 수행할 수 있는 시험 장치를 개발하여 하중, 냉각공기 온도, 윤활유량 및 회전속도를 변화시키면서 시험을 수행하였다. 30,000 rpm에서 70,000 rpm까지 회전속도를 변화시키면서 시험한 결과 깊은 홈 볼베어링은 축하중과 회전속도가 증가하는 경우 베어링 케이지에 마모가 발생하였으며 마모상태는 오일윤활보다 연료윤활시 마모가 더 많이 발생하였고 본 베어링의 속도한계인 59,000 rpm까지는 연료 윤활로 운용이 가능하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 연료윤활의 경우가 오일윤활의 경우보다 베어링 온도가 더 낮은 것을 알 수 있었는데 이는 베어링의 냉각특성이 연료윤활인 경우가 오일윤활의 경우보다 더 좋기 때문이라 판단된다. 본 실험을 통하여 소형 항공용 가스터빈의 주축 베어링 윤활방식으로 연료윤활 방식이 적용 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.
