In this research, an analytical model based on a five-degrees-of-freedom nonlinear dynamical system was utilized to investigate the impact of vibration response due to inner race, outer race, and ball bearing waviness on the performance of grinding machine spindle system supported by two angular ball bearings. The waviness of rolling elements is modeled as a sinusoidal function is incorporated along the inner or outer races of bearing and ball surface. The elastic deflection and nonlinear contact force are calculated based on Hertzian contact model, while the shaft has five-degrees-of-freedom motions, three translational and two angular motions. The five–degrees-of-freedom nonlinear governing equations of the spindle system were developed taking into consideration the effect of outer race, inner race, and ball surface waviness, which are included in the kinematic constraints and force equilibrium equations of a ball. The developed model and its results are validated against results found in literature. Results by this paper indicate that the inner race waviness can significantly distort the tolerance and machining quality of grinding spindle-bearing systems more than does waviness in the outer race and ball elements. This is because the inner race waviness generates more complicated vibrations than the outer race and ball waviness. The most severe vibrations caused by the inner race waviness were found to occur when the waviness was of the order that is equal to multiple of number of balls in a bearing set plus or minus one ([Formula: see text]).

In this effort, the nonlinear dynamics of a machine-tool spindle system supported by ball bearings is investigated. Considering the loss of contact between the inner race and ball in the ball bearing, the system is described by a set of second order nonlinear differential equations with piecewise stiffness and damping. The nonlinear responses of the system exhibit the softening behavior due to the loss of contact. As the initial preload is applied to the spindle system and the balls are fully contacting with the inner race of the bearing, the nonlinear responses of the system switche to the hardening behavior. Due to the 3/2 nonlinearity, resonance are found when the excitation frequency is close to one-third of the first natural frequency, one-half of the first nature frequency, two-third of the first natural frequency, and the first natural frequency. The route of the period-doubling bifurcation to chaos and the tori doubling process to chaos which usually occurs in the impact system are also observed in this spindle-bearing system.

A general model of the spindle system with hydrostatic bearings is presented. In this model the whole system is divided into subsystems. Each of these subsystems is modelled in order to obtain an optimization considering the global criteria of the system. A four-stage multicriterion optimization strategy is applied to solve the problem. On the basis of this strategy, which has a heuristic character, a computer aided optimum design software package for spindle systems for grinding and lathe machine tools is developed. The software is supported by computer graphics. An example of designing a grinding machine spindle system is given.

A theoretical model to predict the vibration response of rolling element bearing in a rotor bearing system to distributed defects under radial load has been developed. The rotor bearing system has been considered as a three degrees of freedom model. The distributed defects considered are, the waviness of outer and inner races, and off size rolling element. The model predicts discrete spectrum with specific frequency components for each order of waviness. For outer race waviness, the spectrum has components at outer race defect frequency and its harmonics. In the case of inner race waviness, the waviness orders equal to number of rolling elements and its multiples give rise to spectral components at inner race defect frequency and its multiples. Other orders of waviness generate sidebands at multiples of shaft frequency about these peaks. The model predicts the amplitudes of the spectral components due to outer race waviness to be much higher as compared to those due to inner race waviness. In the case of an off-size rolling element, the model predicts discrete spectra having significant components at multiples of cage frequency. [S0742-4787(00)00603-2]

Nonlinear vibration analysis of angular contact ball bearings supporting a rigid rotor is presented herein considering the frictional moments (load dependent and load independent components of frictional moments) in the bearings. Six degrees of freedom (DOF) of rigid rotor is considered in the dynamic modeling of the rotor-bearings system. Moreover, waviness on surfaces of inner race, outer race, and ball are considered in the model by representing it as sinusoidal functions with waviness orders of 6, 15, and 25. Two amplitudes of waviness, 0.05 and 0.2 μm, are considered in the investigation looking for the practical aspects. The proposed model is validated with the experimental results by performing the experiments. Moreover, the present model has also been validated with published results of researchers by incorporating needful changes in the DOF in the proposed model. Based on the computed results, it is observed that load dependent frictional moment (LDFM) significantly enhances the amplitudes of vibrations in comparison to load independent frictional moment (LIFM) irrespective to values of waviness amplitude and waviness order. The influence of inner race waviness is relatively more on the vibrations in comparison to waviness of outer race and ball. Moreover, vibrations of system enhance considerably at high amplitude of waviness, increase in the order of waviness, and at elevated operating parameters.


The bearing is very important segment in any rotating machinery. It is continually running under changing speed and load conditions. Failure of bearing frequently results in extensive mechanical downtime that has monetary outcomes. Timely diagnosis of bearing breakdown is to avoid machines failure, as well as to decrease the maintenance cost of machine. To analyze failure of the bearing artificial defect were created on various elements of the bearing and using vibration signature for monitoring its condition analysis is carried.In this paper the effect of various surface defects on the vibration response of outer race and inner race of the ball bearing and Roller bearing is discussed. Vibration spectrum produced by bearing with defect on inner or outer race under different load conditions is taken and effect of defect size and load on the vibration response has been investigated. Results are presented in time and frequency domain. The results obtained by experimentations are compared with MATLAB results

As the high speed bearings, hybrid journal bearings are usually used in high and super high speed grinding machine spindle system. Since the bearing operates under high speed conditions, the excessive temperature rise of bearing is a key factor to lower the accuracy of the spindle system and limit the bearings working speed, so restrict the bearing applications. In this paper, the model of hybrid journal bearing is established to analyze the heat mechanism. In addition, the temperature field distribution for the certain hybrid journal bearing at high speed is studied by ANSYS considering the heat transfer characters between fluid and solid. The experiment of temperature for hybrid journal bearing system in super high speed grinding machine is also performed. The thermal properties and the measure for controlling temperature rise of such bearings are analyzed.

Ferrocenes are ubiquitous organometallic building blocks that comprise a Fe atom sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings that rotate freely at room temperature. Of widespread interest in fundamental studies and real-world applications, they have also attracted<br>some interest as functional elements of molecular-scale devices. Here we investigate the impact of<br>the configurational degrees of freedom of a ferrocene derivative on its single-molecule junction<br>conductance. Measurements indicate that the conductance of the ferrocene derivative, which is<br>suppressed by two orders of magnitude as compared to a fully conjugated analog, can be modulated<br>by altering the junction configuration. Ab initio transport calculations show that the low conductance is a consequence of destructive quantum interference effects that arise from the hybridization of metal-based d-orbitals and the ligand-based π-system. By rotating the Cp rings, the hybridization, and thus the quantum interference, can be mechanically controlled, resulting in a conductance modulation that is seen experimentally.<br>
