This research presents an analytical method to calculate the characteristics of the ball bearing under the effect of the waviness in its rolling elements and the centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment of ball. The waviness of rolling elements is modeled by using sinusoidal function, and the centrifugal force and gyroscopic. moment of ball are included in the kinematic constraints and force equilibrium equations to produce the nonlinear governing equations. To improve the convergence of the numerical solution of the nonlinear governing equations, it includes the derivatives of the gyroscopic moment and load-deflection constant of each race in the Newton-Raphson formulation. The accuracy of this research is validated by comparing with the prior research, i.e., (i) the contact force, contact angle in case of considering only the centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment of ball, and (ii) the contact force and vibration frequencies in case of considering only the waviness, respectively. It investigates the stiffness, contact force, displacement and vibration frequencies of the ball bearing, considering not only the centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment of ball but also the waviness of the rolling elements.

In this study, an improved model for a ball bearing is established to investigate the vibration response characteristics owing to outer race waviness under an axial load and high speed. The mathematical ball bearing model involves the motions of the inner ring, outer ring, and rolling elements in the radial XY plane and axial z direction. The 2Nb + 5 nonlinear differential governing equations of the ball bearing are derived from Lagrange's equation. The influence of rotational speed and outer race waviness is considered. The outer race waviness is modeled as a superposition of sinusoidal function and affects both the contact deformation between the outer raceway and rolling elements and initial clearance. The MATLAB stiff solver ODE is utilized to solve the differential equations. The simulated results show that the axial vibration frequency occurred at l fc and the radial vibration frequencies appeared at l fc fc when the outer race waviness of the order (l) was the multiple of the number of rolling elements (k Nb) and that the principal vibration frequencies were observed at l fc fc in the radial x direction when the outer race waviness of the order (l) was one higher or one lower than the multiple of the number of rolling elements (k Nb 1). At last, the validity of the proposed ball bearing model was verified by the high-speed vibration measurement tests of ball bearings.

Raceway waviness error is the main reason to cause rolling elements to vibrate along axial direction and emit noise. In this paper, the mechanical analysis on deep groove ball bearing is carried out. With auto-correlation function, random surface waviness of both inner and outer raceways is simulated. A contact model of rolling elements and raceways considering surface waviness is established. Combining with the theory of acoustic equation, a calculation model is established for the noise caused by vibration of rolling elements and inner ring. The results show that with the decrease of machining accuracy, the noise of rolling elements increases due to axial vibration; with the increase of rotation speed, the noise also increases. Besides, the spectrum of radiation noise of inner raceway with different waviness amplitudes is given. The results indicate that the 3-D waviness on raceway surface has an influence on the vibration and the noise emitted by both rolling elements and inner ring, and provide guidance for sound control in deep groove rolling bearing.

The 3D nonlinear contact model of a deep groove ball bearing was established in ANSYS Workbench software. With the reasonable setting of the boundary conditions,the contact stress and deformation are calculated in Static Structural (ANSYS) by using the finite element method,and the contact stress and deformation of the inner ring, the outer ring and the rolling elements were obtained. Furthermore, the computational values are consistent with the Hertz values. The results show that solving the bearing contact problem with ANSYS Workbench software is feasible and it coincides with the stress and deformation of the actual situation. The FEM results provide reference for the design,optimization and failure analysis of rolling bearings and have practical engineering value.

Measurement of the damage of elements in bearing can be by measuring the vibration generated in the form of a frequency signal when the pad is rotating. Measurement of vibration on the bearing by using vibration measuring instrument. Damage to the rolling bearing includes damage to the cage, outer ring, inner ring and balls. The rolling bearings used in this study are deep groove ball bearing type 6003 RS with internal diameter (d) = 17 mm, outer diameter (D) = 35 mm, bearing thickness (B) = 10, number of rolling elements (Nb) = 10 pieces, and the diameter of the rolling element (Bd) = 4.75 mm. In the rotation of the bearing (Fr) = 2003 rpm (33.38 Hz) we found the experimental results of bearings that have been damaged in the outer race at 138 Hz frequency, inner race damage at 196 Hz frequency, (ball) at a frequency of 88.8 Hz and cage damage at a frequency of 13.8 Hz.

Ball bearings are essential parts of mechanical systems to support the rotors or constitute the revolute joints. The time-varying compliance (VC), bearing clearance and the Hertzian contact between the rolling elements and raceways are three fundamental nonlinear factors in a ball bearing, hence the ball bearing can be considered as a nonlinear system. The hysteresis and jumps induced by the nonlinearities of rolling bearings are typical phenomena of nonlinear vibrations in the rolling bearing-rotor systems. And the corresponding hysteretic impacts have direct effects on the cleavage derivative and fatigue life of the system components. Therefore, the behaviors of hysteresis and jumps are given full attentions and continued studies in the theoretical and engineering fields. Besides, many researchers have done a lot of calculations to depict the various characteristics of bifurcations and chaos in the rolling bearings and their rotor systems, but few researches have been addressed on the inherent mechanism of the typical intermittency vibrations in rolling bearings. With the aid of the HB-AFT (the harmonic balance method and the alternating frequency/time domain technique) method and Floquet theory, this paper will investigate deeply the resonant hysteresis and intermittency chaos in ball bearings.

The nonlinear dynamic behaviors of a high-speed rotor-ball bearing system under elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) are investigated. First, the numerical curve fittings for stiffness and damping coefficients of lubricated contacts between rolling elements and races are undertaken, and then the fitted formulae are introduced to the equations of motion of the rotor-ball bearing system to investigate its nonlinear characteristics. Furthermore, the time responses, power spectra, phase trajectories, orbit plots, and bifurcation diagrams for cases of ignoring and considering the lubrication condition in bearings are inspected and compared. The results indicate that, when lubrication is taken into account, the amplitudes of vibration displacements and velocities of the rotor system increase, and the appearance of different regions of periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic behavior is strongly dependent on the speed and load.

A ball bearing comprising rolling elements, inner and outer rings, and a cage structure can be described as a multi-body system (MBS). In order to predict the dynamic behaviour and resonance characteristics of a rotor–ball bearing system, it can be modelled and analysed as a MBS with flexible and rigid parts. In this study, a ball bearing is modelled with MBS approach using MSC ADAMS commercial software. The Hertzian theory is used for modelling the contact dynamics between the balls and the rings. The ball bearing model is then assembled with the rotor model which comprised a shaft and a disc positioned at the free end of the shaft. The ball bearing model is used with both flexible and rigid shaft assumptions in order to highlight the differences between the two cases. For the flexible shaft case, the MBS model also included a finite element model of the shaft. As expected, it is necessary to include the flexibility of the shaft in the model in order to to predict the changes in the modal characteristics of the system as a function of the rotor speed. Furthermore, including the gyroscopic effects leads to observe the forward and backward travelling modes with different natural frequencies. The effects of the bearing diametral clearance and localized defects on the inner and outer rings are modelled and analysed using the model developed. Also, the effects of the rotor unbalance on the vibration level of the whole system are examined. A test rig – consisting of two ball bearings, a shaft, and a disc – is also designed and developed so as to validate the theoretical model using experimental data. Order tracking and modal analyses are carried out and Campbell diagrams are obtained. Finally, the theoretical and the experimental results are compared and a refined MBS model is obtained for further analyses.

An analytical investigation of the shaft vibration caused by a ball bearing is presented in this paper. Bearing vibration could be caused by a number of factors, such as defects occurring on the race track or the rolling elements. A common problem with defective bearings is the generation of waviness on the outer race track during the manufacturing process. The vibration of an automobile drive shaft caused by rolling elements rolling over the waviness surface is transmitted to the passenger cabin, and produces undesirable noise. In this paper an analytical study is undertaken to evaluate the effect of waviness number, radial gap and shaft imbalance on the bearing vibration. An experimental investigation was carried out to confirm the analytical study. The results show that the analytical study and experimental investigation agree very well.
