According to the theory of contact mechanics, the radial stiffness, the maximum contact stress, and the maximum radial load of pre-loaded cylindrical roller bearings, including both solid roller and hollow roller bearings, are calculated with the finite element method. The effects of load on the radial stiffness, the maximum contact stress, and the maximum radial load of bearing are analyzed. The analysis results show that the effect of load on the radial stiffness is complex. Under the different magnitude loads, the effects of both hollowness and interference magnitude on the radial stiffness and on the maximum contact stress are not same. Thus the effects of load magnitude must be considered in the design and application of pre-loaded cylindrical roller bearings.

The finite element method is adopted to analyze the pre-loaded cylindrical roller bearings according to the theory of contact mechanics. The effects of hollow ratio on the radial stiffness of bearings, the maximum contact stress of rollers, and the maximum radial load of bearing are analyzed. The analysis results show that the smaller the hollowness is, the larger the radial stiffness of pre-loaded cylindrical roller bearings, the maximum contact stress of the rollers, and the maximum radial load of the bearing would be. Under different magnitude loads, the reasonable combination of interference magnitude with the hollowness can not only increase the stiffness of roller bearings, but also decrease the maximum stress of rollers, which provides a reference for the design and manufacture of pre-loaded cylindrical roller bearings.

For solving the problems of classical mechanics on the stiffness of hollow cylindrical roller bearings, the radial stiffness of pre-loaded hollow cylindrical roller bearings is analyzed with finite element method and the elastic deformation of inner and outer rings is also taken into account. The effects of load, interference magnitude, and hollow ratio on the bearing stiffness are researched fatherly. The results show that the bearing stiffness correlates not only with the interference magnitude and hollow ratio, but also with load, which offers the references for designing and using the pre-loaded hollow cylindrical roller bearings.

With the rapid development of high-speed machining technology, more and more machining centers have been equipped with the HSK toolholders. In this paper, the performances of the HSK spindle/toolholder interface, such as the axial movement, the radial deflection and the contact stress distribution, were simulated by means of the finite element method and compared with the traditional BT interface. From the simulated results, it was pointed out that the performances of the HSK interface were obviously superior to that of the BT interface, and the HSK interface was much more suitable for high-speed machining.

The article deals with an optimization procedure of roller elements geometry with regard to durability of spherical roller bearings. The aim of the article is to examine the impact of change of the roller elements inner geometry on durability and reliability of spherical roller bearings; the contact strain along a spherical roller by means of the Finite Element Method at contact points of components of a spherical roller bearing by means of designed 3D parametric models. The most appropriate shape of roller elements inner geometry of a bearing from the standpoint of calculated durability was determined based on results of the contact analyses.

This contribution presents an approach for the numerical wear calculation of rolling/sliding-contacts. The finite element method based simulation model of Winkler [1] is extended to include contacts subject to boundary lubrication in addition to contacts subject to mixed lubrication. Using the example of an axial cylindrical roller bearing and two load cases, wear-modeling results of the mixed and boundary lubrication regime are illustrated.

A finite element (FE) elbow model was developed to predict the contact stress and contact area of the native humeroradial joint. The model was validated using Fuji pressure sensitive film with cadaveric elbows for which axial loads of 50, 100, and 200 N were applied through the radial head. Maximum contact stresses ranged from 1.7 to 4.32 MPa by FE predictions and from 1.34 to 3.84 MPa by pressure sensitive film measurement while contact areas extended from 39.33 to 77.86 mm2 and 29.73 to 83.34 mm2 by FE prediction and experimental measurement, respectively. Measurements from cadaveric testing and FE predictions showed the same patterns in both the maximum contact stress and contact area, as another demonstration of agreement. While measured contact pressures and contact areas validated the FE predictions, computed maximum stresses and contact area tended to overestimate the maximum contact stress and contact area.

The finite element model of four packer rubber materials was established by using ABAQUS and FE-SAFE software. The initial sealing load (the load is the pressure) was 11.85 MPa, and the working load was 58.15 MPa. The sealing evaluation coefficient, maximum contact stress, and fatigue life value of four material packer rubbers were considered when considering temperature changes and fatigue unit nodes. The results show that when the working load and the structural parameters of the rubber are the same, the sealing evaluation coefficient of the four material rubber increases with the increase of temperature. When the working temperature reaches 125 ℃, the value of the rubber seal evaluation coefficient of the HNBR material is the largest, and the value of the rubber seal evaluation coefficient of the EPDM material is the smallest. Similarly, the maximum contact stress of the four material rubbers increases with increasing temperature. When the temperature reaches 125 ℃, the maximum contact stress of the HNBR material is the largest, and the maximum contact stress of the EPDM material is the smallest. The rubber of the four materials increase the fatigue life value with the increase in the temperature within the operating temperature range studied. When the temperature is lower than 120 ℃, the fatigue life value of the HNBR material rubber is the largest. When the temperature is higher than 120 ℃, the fatigue life value of the CR material rubber is the largest. Regardless of the temperature change, the fatigue life value of the EPDM is the smallest. By comparing the results of field experiments with the results of finite element models, the two are found to have good consistency, which verifies the validity and feasibility of the model. The research results have important guiding significance for the fatigue life prediction of various material packer rubbers under different temperatures.

The finite element model of NJP3226X1 cylindrical roller bearings was established by ABAQUS software, and the contact stress distribution of three kinds of modification curve(linear, circular-arc, logarithmic) were compared. The results showed that the maximal contact stress of logarithmic modified roller is the minimum, its stress distribute uniformly, and obvious stress concentration phenomenon does not exist, next is circular-arc modified roller, which stress at the two ends is too small and the stress in the middle is large, linear roller has the highest contact stress, and there is an obvious stresses concentration phenomenon at both ends. Through the analysis of the contact stress distribution of the logarithmic shaped roller under different repair quantities, the reasonable repair quantities are obtained.

This paper aims to research on the sealing capability of rubber seal by utlizing non-linear finite element analysis. After discussion on various types of strain energy functions of rubber like materials, material parameters of Mooney-Rivilin model are determined by curve fitting based on the stress strain curve from the uniaxial tensile experiment. Axis symmetric and isotropic finite element model is developed to analyze the stress field and contact pressue of O-ring seal and lip seal at different medium pressure. Von-mises stress distribution rule and contact stress distribution curve on contact surface are achieved. The results show that maximum Von Mises stress increase with the increases of oil pressure. The maximum contact stress appears on the middle contact zone and the maximum contact stress and contact width increases obviously with the increases of oil pressure. In the meanwhile, the maximum contact stress is greater than midum pressure which can prevent the leakage of midum and achieve the function of sealing. The research results will be a useful technique for predicting the properties of rubber seal and providing reference for engineering design.
