Taking the type of a double-row tapered roller bearing of a high speed railway passenger coach as research object, the analysis for tapered roller with logarithmic profile has been done. Through the comparison of contact stresses at different crowning values by the finite element software has been done, the best crowning value has been got. There is a certain error between the theory of crowning value and the best crowning value by researching.

Freight trains run under high service loads during consignment loading and operation so tapered roller bearings are ideally suited to wheel bearing applications. The tapered roller bearings used in the railway industry are of a standard design fixed by the American Association of Railroads regulations. Nowadays rail industry improves the train operating speeds, which means that failure of a bearing will result into a derailment, affecting human lives, network disruption, and damage to the railroad, unplanned maintenance costs, and generating fear in general public about rail transport. So the rail industry has focused on the improvement in maintenance work and improvement in component design. This paper discusses the results of finite element analysis and model analysis of Cartridge Tapered Roller bearing (CTRB). Solid modelling of CTRB has been done using solid works. The CTRB is then discretized using ANSYS software and 3D hexahedral solid elements are used to mesh the components. The effect of vibration modes on the dynamic behaviour and stability of wagon is described. Frequencies up to a range of 100 Hz are considered for mode shapes.

In order to meet the requirements of high-speed train's safe operation, the horizontal displacement of high-speed railway bridge pier top must be strictly controlled. This paper relies on one road construction engineering beneath an existing high-speed railway bridge. We use 2D finite element software to analyze the magnitude and direction of pier top horizontal displacement caused by road load. We take it into account that the effect of the soil nature on pier top horizontal displacement. The analysis showed that the nature of soil around piles of high-speed railway bridge is closely related to the magnitude and direction of the pier top horizontal displacement. Authors believe that the horizontal displacement of pier top consists of two parts. One is pier top pure horizontal displacement dragged by horizontal displacement of the top of piles, the other is pier top rotation horizontal displacement driven by the rotation of pile cap. The analysis result can be used for the design of road with embankment structure beneath high-speed railway bridge.

Abstract The temperature distribution of a 4-row tapered roller bearing in 1700mm cold rolling mill is studied by finite element analysis. A mathematical model of heat transfer and the boundary conditions of the bearing system are given. The results of temperature measurement in the bearing show a satisfactory agreement with the calculated results.

Double-row tapered roller bearing 353112 is used in trucks, and the external load and pressure distribution of the bearing are calculated combining with the specific operating conditions. Tapered roller bearings typically employ roller profile modification to equalize the load distribution, minimizing the stress concentration at the roller ends. Doing FEA (finite element analysis) on the contact stress with the changing roller crowning between roller and races, the appropriate roller profile and the crown drop of roller can be achieved. Finally the best control equation of roller crowning is obtained. It has important guiding significance for the improvement of roller crowning design of truck hub bearings.

Based on the finite element method of explicit dynamics and contact dynamics mechanics, a three dimensional solid finite element model was developed introducing physical elements for tapered roller bearing. The dynamic process numerical simulation of tapered roller bearing was carried out in ABAQUS. The vibration curves of the nodes on roller were drew. The changes of contact stress and contact stress distribution of rings, rollers and the cage in the process were analyzed. The results show it is basically consistent with the actual movement of rolling bearings.

In the railroad industry, distressed bearings in service are primarily identified using wayside hot-box detectors (HBDs). Current technology has expanded the role of these detectors to monitor bearings that appear to “warm trend” relative to the average temperatures of the remainder of bearings on the train. Several bearings set-out for trending and classified as nonverified, meaning no discernible damage, revealed that a common feature was discoloration of rollers within a cone (inner race) assembly. Subsequent laboratory experiments were performed to determine a minimum temperature and environment necessary to reproduce these discolorations and concluded that the discoloration is most likely due to roller temperatures greater than 232 °C (450 °F) for periods of at least 4 h. The latter finding sparked several discussions and speculations in the railroad industry as to whether it is possible to have rollers reaching such elevated temperatures without heating the bearing cup (outer race) to a temperature significant enough to trigger the HBDs. With this motivation, and based on previous experimental and analytical work, a thermal finite element analysis (FEA) of a railroad bearing pressed onto an axle was conducted using ALGOR 20.3™. The finite element (FE) model was used to simulate different heating scenarios with the purpose of obtaining the temperatures of internal components of the bearing assembly, as well as the heat generation rates and the bearing cup surface temperature. The results showed that, even though some rollers can reach unsafe operating temperatures, the bearing cup surface temperature does not exhibit levels that would trigger HBD alarms.

The article has analyzed the changes of temperature of different materials of the spindle, and considered 170SD30 Ceramic Motorized Spindle and the same model Metal Motorized Spindle as the research objects, analyzed the inside heat source and heat transfer mechanism of the high-speed motorized spindle; used finite element software to set up the model of the motorized spindle, and did simulation and analysis. Verified by simulation, heat transfer rate of ceramic materials is slower than the metallic materials, in actual operation of the process, due to different materials have different heat transfer rate, so the temperature distribution of the different materials of motorized spindle are different. This conclusion provides the basis to solve motorized spindle temperature field distribution.

Inhalt: Übliche Kegelrollenlager zeichnen sich durch eine im Vergleich zu Spindellagern sehr hohe Steifigkeit und Tragfähigkeit aus. Gleichzeitig ist ihre Drehzahleignung deutlich geringer, was den Einsatz in Werkzeugmaschinen-Hauptspindeln zur Fräsbearbeitung in den meisten Fällen ausschließt. Mit dem hier vorgestellten zweistufigen Verfahren wird ein Kegelrollenlager für den Betrieb bei hohen Drehzahlen ausgelegt. Im ersten Schritt erfolgt die Auslegung der Makrogeometrie durch Lösung eines Optimierungsproblems. Zur Auslegung der Mikrogeometrie kommen in zweiten Schritt Methoden zur Kontaktberechnung und -beschreibung zur Anwendung.
