Elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing is a new type of rolling bearings. Its rolling body is composed of rigid and flexible materials. In order to investigate the modal characteristics and harmonic response rules of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with different structural parameters, we computed the modal solutions of a cylindrical roller bearing and the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with filling degrees of 40%, 50% and 65%, and determined the scope of the excitation frequency according to the computed first twelve orders of the modal frequency. On this basis, we analyzed the steady-state response under a sinusoidal alternating load as well as the vibration conditions of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with different filling degrees within the excitation scope, and explored the relationship between the responses such as displacement and stress and the excitation frequency. The results showed that the natural frequencies of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with filling degrees of 40% and 50% were similar to that of a solid bearing, while that of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with a filling degree of 65% was relatively smaller than that of a solid bearing. The vibration modes of the bearings mainly manifested as bending and torsional deformation of the inner rings. Under the action of an excitation load, the peak responses of the bearings occurred near the fifth and sixth orders of the natural frequency. This research can provide a theoretical reference for the optimal design and engineering applications of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings.

Elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing is a novel type of roller bearing whose rolling element is designed by innovating the rolling element structure of cylindrical roller bearings. For the purpose of investigating the dynamic properties of the rolling elements with different structural parameters and solving the modes of elastic composite cylindrical rolling element with different filling degrees, first, this study compares elastic composite cylindrical rolling element to solid cylindrical rolling element, in terms of natural frequency and vibration mode. Next, the integration time step is determined, based on the natural frequency of the vibration in the Y direction, the response of various rolling element, under impact loads, is solved. Furthermore, the laws of the energy changes and nodal displacement variations of rolling element are explored, at different filling degrees. Finally, adopting the decay method, the damping ratio of elastic composite cylindrical rolling element, under different structural parameters and external loads, is calculated. According to the results, with the increase of filling degree, the natural frequencies of various orders of elastic composite cylindrical rolling element gradually declined. The damping ratio of rolling elements decreased, as the filling degree increased, while it could be changed by adjusting the structural dimensions of rolling elements. The analysis results of this study provide some theoretical reference for studies on the parameter optimization of rolling element structures, the vibration and noise reduction of elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings.

The operating clearance in a bearing influences friction, load zone size and fatigue life of a bearing. Hence, an effort is made to investigate the effect of radial internal clearance on the dynamical behavior of a cylindrical roller bearing system with an unbalance present in the system. The differential equations representing the dynamics of the cylindrical roller bearings have been derived using Lagrange’s equations and solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta iterative method. The nonlinear vibration signature has been analyzed due to the clearance and the same is represented by various tools like Acceleration-time plots, Poincaré plots and FFT plots. The approximation method is used to calculate the load distribution and deformation of the individual rollers located at a different position in the load zone, for a preloading/interference fit and positive internal clearance. A response surface method is used to analyze the severity involved in the system due to the combined effect of independent variables like rotor speed, radial load, and radial internal clearance. The observations presented here are not only useful to diagnose the bearing health condition with respect to parametric effects but also exhibit their interactive effects on bearing performance.

As large-scale rotating machines develop toward high rotating speed and high power–weight ratio, skidding damage has become one of the major initial failure modes of cylindrical roller bearings. Therefore, understanding the skidding damage law is an effective way to ensure the safety of machines supported by cylindrical roller bearings. To realize the skidding damage, a high-speed rolling bearing test rig that can simulate the actual operating conditions of aviation bearings was used in this paper, and the skidding damage dynamic behaviors of cylindrical roller bearings were investigated. In addition, to ensure the accuracy of the obtained skidding damage mechanism, the cylindrical roller bearing was carefully inspected by microscopic analysis when the skidding damage occurred. Out results show that instantaneous increases in friction torque, vibration acceleration, and temperature are clearly observed when the skidding damage occurs in the cylindrical roller bearing. Furthermore, under the conditions of inadequate lubrication and light load, the critical speed of skidding damage is rather low. The major wear mechanisms of skidding damage include oxidation wear, abrasive wear, and delamination wear. The white layers are found locally in the inner ring and rollers under the actions of friction heat and shear force.

The principal objective of this paper is to ascertain and quantify the cyclic movement of the centre of a shaft in a geometrically perfect, lubricated, cylindrical roller bearing exhibiting initial clearance and subjected to a light and steady load. The movement may be important in relation to the accuracy of location of shafts in roller bearings, and it is shown that a detailed consideration of the rolling element assembly predicts some interesting effects. The study also covers more conventional features of bearing performance such as lubricant film thickness and coefficient of friction, and shows the effect of squeeze to be negligible under steady bearing loads.

Normally cylindrical roller bearings are employed to transmit purely radial loads. However, depending upon the configuration of lips or flanges on the rings, it is sometimes possible to carry an axial load. In certain applications, an axial load capability is essential. A significant feature in determining the performance of a cylindrical roller bearing under axial loading is the lubrication conditions existing between the lips and rolling elements. The paper describes a study of such conditions. The long-term aim of the work is to provide a basis for the design of cylindrical roller bearings to carry axial loads.

A six-degree-of-freedom model was developed and used to simulate the motion of all elements in a cylindrical roller bearing. Cage instability has been studied as a function of the roller-race and roller-cage pocket clearances for light-load and high-speed conditions. The effects of variation in inner race speed, misalignment, cage asymmetry, and varying size of one of the rollers have been investigated. In addition, three different roller profiles have been used to study their impact on cage dynamics. The results indicate that the cage exhibits stable motion for small values of roller-race and roller-cage pocket clearances. A rise in instability leads to discrete cage-race collisions with high force magnitudes. Race misalignment leads to a rise in instability for small roller-cage pocket clearances since skew control is provided by the sides of the cage pocket. One roller of larger size than the others causes inner race whirl and leads to stable cage motion for small roller-race clearances without any variation in roller-cage pocket clearance. Cage asymmetry and different roller profiles have a negligible impact on cage motion.

The elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing is a new type of bearing designed with polytetrafluoroethylene filling in a deep hole hollow roller. This design can improve the stress concentration and also performance of the bearing. A study was conducted to parameterize the deep hole structure to obtain its design variables, the angle a and radius c by studying the influence of the design on stress concentration in elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing edge; to determine the BP neural network sample data using orthogonal test and finite element methods; to establish mapping relationship between the design variables and the maximum stress by BP neural network learning algorithm and to obtain the objective function required for structural optimization of genetic algorithm. The study attempts to optimize, search and calculate the most fitting structural parameters of elastic composite cylindrical roller by genetic algorithm with NU318E bearing as the optimization object and obtain the values of optimal design variables as a = 48.68° and c=9.67mm. The work also includes minimization of the comprehensive value of the maximum contact stress and the maximum equivalent stress of the edge and elliptic zones of elastic composite cylindrical roller after optimizing and increasing the contact fatigue service and bearing capacity of the bearing. The optimization procedure and method presented in this paper can serve as a useful reference to the optimization of structure for other elastic composite cylindrical roller edges.
