PURPOSES : Pavement surface friction depends significantly on pavement surface texture characteristics. The mean texture depth (MTD), which is an index representing pavement surface texture characteristics, is typically used to predict pavement surface friction. However, the MTD may not be sufficient to represent the texture characteristics to predict friction. To enhance the prediction of pavement surface friction, one must select additional variables that can explain complex pavement surface textures. METHODS : In this study, pavement surface texture characteristics that affect pavement surface friction were analyzed based on the friction mechanism. The wavelength, pavement surface texture shape, and pavement texture depth were hypothesized to significantly affect the surface friction of pavement. To verify this, the effects of the three abovementioned pavement surface texture characteristics on pavement surface friction must be investigated. However, because the surface texture of actual pavements is irregular, examining the individual effects of these characteristics is difficult. To achieve this goal, the selected pavement surface texture characteristics were formed quantitatively, and the irregularities of the actual pavement surface texture were improved by artificially forming the pavement surface texture using threedimensionally printed specimens. To reflect the pavement surface texture characteristics in the specimen, the MTD was set as the pavement surface texture depth, and the exposed aggregate number (EAN) was set as a variable. Additionally, the aggregate shape was controlled to reflect the characteristics of the pavement surface texture of the specimen. Subsequently, a shape index was proposed and implemented in a statistical analysis to investigate its effect on pavement friction. The pavement surface friction was measured via the British pendulum test, which enables measurement to be performed in narrow areas, considering the limited size of the three-dimensionally printed specimens. On wet pavement surfaces, the pavement surface friction reduced significantly because of the water film, which intensified the effect of the pavement surface texture. Therefore, the pavement surface friction was measured under wet conditions. Accordingly, a BPN (wet) prediction model was proposed by statistically analyzing the relationship among the MTD, EAN, aggregate shape, and BPN (wet). RESULTS : Pavement surface friction is affected by adhesion and hysteresis, with hysteresis being the predominant factor under wet conditions. Because hysteresis is caused by the deformation of rubber, pavement surface friction can be secured through the formation of a pavement surface texture that causes rubber deformation. Hysteresis occurs through the function of macro-textures among pavement surface textures, and the effects of macro-texture factors such as the EAN, MTD, and aggregate shape on the BPN (wet) are as follows: 1) The MTD ranges set in this study are 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2, and under the experimental conditions, the BPN (wet) increases linearly with the MTD. 2) An optimum EAN is indicated when the BPN (wet) is the maximum, and the BPN decreases after its maximum value is attained. This may be because when the EAN increases excessively, the space for the rubber to penetrate decreases, thereby reducing the hysteresis. 3) The shape of the aggregate is closely related to the EAN; meanwhile, the maximum value of the pavement surface friction and the optimum EAN change depending on the aggregate shape. This is believed to be due to changes in the rubber penetration volume based on the aggregate shape. Based on the results above, a statistical prediction model for the BPN (wet) is proposed using the MTD, EAN, and shape index as variables. CONCLUSIONS : The EAN, MTD, and aggregate shape are crucial factors in predicting skid resistance. Notably, the EAN and aggregate shape, which are not incorporated into existing pavement surface friction prediction models, affect the pavement surface friction. However, the texture of the specimen created via three-dimensional printing differs significantly from the actual pavement surface texture. Therefore, the pavement surface friction prediction model proposed in this study should be supplemented with comparisons with actual pavement surface data in the future.

노면 마찰력은 포장 표면과 타이어의 마찰력으로 인해 발생하는 현상으로 높은 노면의 마찰력은 제동 중 차량의 안정성과 조종성을 향상시킨다. 노면 마찰력이 증가함에 따라 교통사고 횟수가 감소하는 것으로 알려져 있으며 습윤 상태의 노면에서 교통사고가 증가하 는 것으로 알려져있다. 따라서 교통사고 발생 억제와 도로 안전의 확보를 위해서는 적정 수준의 노면 마찰력, 특히 습윤 상태의 노면 마찰력을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 노면 마찰력은 adhesion과 hysteresis로 분류되며 특히 습윤상태 도로에서 hysteresis가 중요한 역 할을 한다. hysteresis는 고무의 변형에 의해 발생하기 때문에 고무 변형에 영향을 미치는 노면 조직 변수를 선정하여 노면 마찰력을 예측하고자 한다. 노면 마찰력은 노면 조직 특성과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 이에 따라 노면 조직 특성을 나타내는 지수 중 하나인 MTD(Mean Texture Depth)가 노면 마찰력 예측을 위한 인자로 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 MTD는 노면 조직 깊이만을 평가하 는 인자로 다양한 요소가 결합되어 있는 노면 조직 특성을 모두 설명할 수 없으며, 노면 마찰력 예측을 위해서는 복잡한 노면 조직을 설명할 수 있는 추가 변수의 선정이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 노면 마찰력의 메커니즘 분석을 토대로 노면 마찰력에 영향을 미치는 노면 조직 특성을 분석하였고, wave-length와 노면 조직의 형태, 노면 조직 깊이가 노면 마찰력에 미치는 영향이 클 것으로 예상하였 다. 이를 검증하기 위해서는 3가지 노면 조직 특성이 노면 마찰력에 미치는 영향에 대한 검토가 요구되나 실제 도로의 노면은 노면 조직이 불규칙하게 형성되어 있어 노면 조직 특성의 개별적 영향을 검토하기 어렵다. 이를 위해서는 선정한 노면 조직 특성의 정량적 형성이 요구되며 3D 프린팅 시편을 제작해 노면 조직을 인위적으로 형성함으로써 실제 도로 노면 조직의 불규칙성을 개선하였다. 노 면 조직 특성을 시편에 반영하기 위해 노면 조직 깊이는 MTD, wave-length는 노출 골재의 개수를 뜻하는 EAN을 변수로 설정하였 다. 또한 EAN(Exposed Aggregate Number)은 노출 골재의 형성이 필수적이므로 골재의 형상을 제어하여 노면 조직의 형태를 시편에 반영하였으며 골재 형상과 노면 마찰력의 통계학적 분석을 위해 형상 지수를 산출하여 분석하였다. 3D 프린팅 시편은 크기에 제한이 있어 좁은 영역에서 측정이 용이한 BPT(British Pendulum Test)를 사용해 노면 마찰력을 측정하였고, 습윤한 노면에서는 수막으로 인해 노면 마찰력이 크게 감소하여 노면 조직의 영향이 커지므로 습윤 상태에서 노면 마찰력을 측정하였다. 측정 데이터를 통한 분석 결과 노면 조직 변수인 MTD가 증가할수록 BPN(wet)이 선형적으로 증가하는 것이 확인되었으며, EAN에 따라서 BPN이 증가했다가 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 이는 EAN이 과도하게 많아지면 고무가 침투할 공간이 줄어들어 hysteresis가 감소하기 때문으로 사료된 다. 또한 골재 형상에 따라 노면 마찰력의 최댓값과 optuimum EAN의 변화가 있었다. 이는 골재 형상에 따른 고무 침투 부피의 변화 에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 위의 결과를 통해 MTD, EAN, 골재 형상과 BPN(wet)의 관계를 통계학적으로 분석하여 BPN(wet) 예측 모 델을 제안하였다.

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a solid-state joining process and a rapidly growing dissimilar material welding technology for joining metallic alloys in the automotive industry. Welding tool shape and process conditions must be appropriately controlled to obtain high bonding characteristics. In this study, FSSW is performed on dissimilar materials AA5052-H32 aluminum alloy sheet and SPRC440 steel sheet, and the influence of the shape of joining tool and tool insertion depth during joining is investigated. A new intermetallic compound is produced at the aluminum and steel sheets joint. When the insertion depth of the tool is insufficient, the intermetallic compound between the two sheets did not form uniformly. As the insertion depth increased, the intermetallic compound layer become uniform and continuous. The joint specimen shows higher values of tensile shear load as the diameter and insertion depth of the tool increase. This shows that the uniform formation of the intermetallic compound strengthens the bonding force between the joining specimens and increases the tensile shear load.

This study deals with the vibration transmissibility of a vibration isolation device, which is composed of frictional damping and nonlinear softening springs, when its base is harmonically excited. The SCAP method, a type of averaging method, is employed to obtain steady-state responses. The vibration characteristics due to excitation of the base are investigated through the analysis of displacement transmissibility in the steady-state response. In this process, displacement transmissibility for design parameters is analyzed, and the stability of the response is also investigated. The vibration isolation effect due to frictional damping is found to be more effective in the case of the softening spring than in the case of the hardening spring. Additionally, the pattern of the jump phenomenon observed during frequency sweeping, both upward and downward, has been identified.

New piezoelectric and triboelectric materials for energy harvesting are being widely researched to reduce their processing cost and complexity and to improve their energy conversion efficiency. In this study, BaTiO3 films of various thickness were deposited on Ni foams by R.F. magnetron sputtering to study the piezoelectric and triboelectric properties of the porous spongy structure materials. Then piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) were prepared with spongy structured BaTiO3 and PDMS composite. The output performance exhibited a positive dependence on the thickness of the BaTiO3 film, pushing load, and poling. The PENG output voltage and current were 4.4 V and 0.453 μA at an applied stress of 120 N when poled with a 300 kV/cm electric field. The electrical properties of the fabricated PENG were stable even after 5,000 cycles of durability testing. The triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) were fabricated using spongy structured BaTiO3 and various polymer films as dielectrics and operated in a vertical contact separation mode. The maximum peak to peak voltage and current of the composite film-based triboelectric nanogenerator were 63.2 V and 6 μA, respectively. This study offers new insights into the design and fabrication of high output nanogenerators using spongy structured materials.

In this study, we investigated the change in fracture properties after friction stir welding on Al606. In the L-T direction test, the fracture toughness of the unwelded base material was 275 MPa, and the specimen subjected to friction stir welding (FSW) was 227 MPa, showing that the fracture toughness decreased significantly with friction stir welding. In the T-L direction test, the difference between the base material and the weld material was not large, but the fracture toughness was shown to decrease during welding. In the comparison of the L-T direction and the T-L direction, it was found that both the base material and the weld material showed high fracture toughness in the L-T direction.In this study, the following conclusions were obtained after friction stir welding of Al 6061-T6.

Power converter devices require a high level of quality because they have a high direct connection with vehicle operation. Therefore, structural bonding was carried out by friction stir welding with excellent mechanical properties. Friction stir welding can cause structural deflection depending on the load of the welding tool, so it is important to control this for high quality flatness. In this study, pre-welding was performed before welding to minimize deflection generated during welding. And deflection reduction data according to the location of pre-welding were analyzed through dynamic analysis. As a result, based on computerized data rather than experimental data an optimized position of pre-welding was secured to minimize the deflection that occurs during friction stir welding. Through this, a process guide that enables high quality structural bonding was presented.

With the increasing attention to environmental pollution caused by particulate matter globally, the automotive industry has also become increasingly interested in particulate matter, especially particulate matter generated by automobile brake systems. Here, we designed a coating composition and analyzed its mechanical properties to reduce particulate matter generated by brake systems during braking of vehicles. We designed a composition to check the mechanical properties change by adding Cr3C2 and YSZ to the WC-Ni-Cr composite composition. Based on the designed composition, coating samples were manufactured, and the coating properties were analyzed by Vickers hardness and ball-on-disk tests. As a result of the experiments, we found that the hardness and friction coefficient of the coating increased as the amount of Cr3C2 added decreased. Furthermore, we found that the hardness of the coating layer decreased when YSZ was added at 20vol%, but the friction coefficient was higher than the composition with Cr3C2 addition.

In this study, considering the expansion/contraction behavior of the upper structure at all times and the abnormal behavior of the receiving friction elements that allow horizontal movement during earthquakes, a port receiving test body simulating the protrusion of the friction elements was created and the modulus performance was evaluated. In order to confirm the influence of the friction element's projection, the friction element's degree of separation was divided into four stages, and the shear behavior of the test specimen and the friction coefficient were confirmed. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the friction load increases as the protrusion degree of the friction element increases. On the other hand, as the degree of protrusion of the coefficient of friction increases, the coefficient of friction also increases. It was confirmed that damage to the friction elements during use increases the coefficient of friction, hinders smooth expansion and contraction of the upper structure, and causes stress concentration at the fixed-end support.

The tribological properties of TiC, TiN and TiC/TiN coatings on steels prepared by the cathodic-arc (CA) ion plating technique were investigated. Experiments were carried out on a tribo-test machine using a Falex journal V block system. The friction and wear characteristics of the coatings were determined by varying the applied load and sliding speed. The TiC, TiN and TiC/TiN coatings markedly increased the tribological characteristics of the surface. As far as a single layer coating was concerned, TiN goes better results than TiC. However, the TiC/TiN multilayer coating performed better than either single layer coating. The major factor in the improved performance of the multilayer coating was the role of TiC in improving the adhesion between the external TiN layer and the substrate steel.

기계적 에너지는 생물학 및 환경 시스템에서 트라이보 전기 나노제너레이터(TENG)로 얻을 수 있다. 웨어러블 전 자제품에서 TENG는 진동 센서에 적용된 인간의 움직임에서 생체역학적 에너지를 수확할 수 있다는 점에서 많은 의미를 지 닌다. 웨어러블 TENG은 습기에 취약하며, 폴리테트라플루오로에틸렌(PTFE)은 이러한 용도에 사용되는 우수한 소수성 물질 이다. 높은 전기 음성 불소 원자의 존재는 매우 낮은 표면 에너지로 이어진다. 동시에 미세다공막 표면에 전자를 효율적으로 포획함으로써 소자의 성능이 증가한다. PTFE에 비해 상대적으로 적은 플루오라이드 원자의 존재로 인해 폴리비닐리덴 플루 오라이드(PVDF)에서도 유사한 거동을 보인다.

Phosphate coating is applied to the surface of the round bar material used in the multi-stage cold forging process for the purpose of lubrication. The film characteristics are determined according to the conditions of the phosphate film treatment process. In this study, the film properties according to the phosphate treatment conditions were defined as the coefficient of repeated friction and quantitative analysis was performed. Different friction behaviors were exhibited depending on the film properties, suggesting that optimization of the phosphate film treatment conditions is possible based on this. Finally, as a practical example, friction behavior according to the film characteristics was applied to the automotive engine bolt forming process. As a final conclusion, the need for linkage analysis with phosphating conditions for optimizing the forging process was raised. In addition, it can be seen that damage to the phosphate film should be considered in the process of predicting the limiting life of the die.

Various kinds of friction materials were manufactured by adding 10%, 20%, and 30% of reduced iron, respectively, which has been obtained during the reduction process of blast furnace sludge extracted from the blast furnace, and its iron oxide, instead of existing barium sulfate(BaSO4) among the components of automobile brake friction materials. Fundamental physical property test and friction performance test, etc., using a brake dynamometer were carried out against these friction materials. Furthermore, when the expensive filling material, BaSO4 was substituted by reduced iron and added to the friction material, the added content of reduced iron for an excellent friction characteristic considering the heat emission temperature, wear, etc., was 10%. In the fundamental physical property test, as the added content of blast furnace sludge or reduced iron increased, and as the content increased, the shear strength and bonding strength of friction materials decreased, but both of them indicated sufficient strengths to be applied to a friction material. Even in the frictional performance test using a brake dynamometer, as the added content of blast furnace sludge or reduced iron increased, the friction coefficient reacted insensibly to brake deceleration, and its stability was improved.
