Simulation of Rolling Element Bearings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rolling bearings are high precision, low cost machine elements, used in all kinds of rotating machinery. Simulations of rolling bearings bring increased understanding of their dynamic behaviour, and shortens product development time. A rolling bearing simulation model called BEAST (BEAring Simulation Tool), has been developed by SKF. Due to the high demands on contact geometry description and contact force calculations (including traction), simulations are computationally intensive and are normally run on parallel computers. The simulations have been verified against several experiments, e.g., cage forces in a deep groove ball bearing.

Dynamic Modeling of Rolling Element Bearings With Surface Contact Defects Using Bond Graphs
Multibody dynamics of healthy and faulty rolling element bearings were modeled using vector bond graphs. A 33 degree of freedom (DOF) model was constructed for a bearing with nine balls and two rings (11 elements). The developed model can be extended to a rolling element bearing with n elements and 3 n DOF in planar and 6 n DOF in three dimensional motions. The model incorporates the gyroscopic...
متن کاملEarly Fault Diagnosis of Bearings Using an Improved Spectral Kurtosis by Maximum Correlated Kurtosis Deconvolution
The early fault characteristics of rolling element bearings carried by vibration signals are quite weak because the signals are generally masked by heavy background noise. To extract the weak fault characteristics of bearings from the signals, an improved spectral kurtosis (SK) method is proposed based on maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD). The proposed method combines the ability...
