Contact problem is one of the most basic problems in the analysis of roller bearings, and the analysis and computation of contact stress and contact deformation are of great importance in roller bearing design. To solve the contact problems of roller bearing, we could use the Traditional method-- Hertz theory, the traditional method to solve the contact problems of roller bearings, is limited in the precision and unable to show the distribution characteristic of stress in contact area.In this paper, we use Finite Element Analysis software ANSYS to do research on contact problem of tapered roller bearing 3811/750/HC, and by means of comparison with the results gained by the Hertz theory we prove the feasibility of roller bearing contact problem by Finite Element Method. Hence, a more efficient method of improving the service life of rollers is got.

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.

The loading roller number and maximum stress of the bearings can not be calculated accurately through conventional methods because support manner of the roller bearings used in rolling mill is different from that of the roller bearings used in conventional condition. Based on characteristic of the bearings, the model of the bearing is made combining contact mechanics with finite element method. The loading roller number and maximum stress of the bearings are calculated through FEA. The work of this paper offers a reference to design and manufacture this kind of bearings.

Abstract The paper describes the intention of the authors to determine whether it is possible to predict relative belt edge endurance for radial passenger car tires using the finite element method. Three groups of tires with different belt edge configurations were tested on a fleet test in an attempt to validate predictions from the finite element results. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite element analysis was first used to determine if the results from such an analysis, with emphasis on the shear deformations between the belts, could be used to predict a relative ranking for belt edge endurance. It is shown that such an analysis can lead to erroneous conclusions. A three-dimensional analysis in which tires are modeled under free rotation and static vertical loading was performed next. This approach resulted in an improvement in the quality of the correlations. The differences in the predicted values of various stress analysis parameters for the three belt edge configurations are studied and their implication on predicting belt edge endurance is discussed.

Abstract The finite element method has been used widely in tire engineering. Most tire simulations using the finite element method are static analyses, because tires are very complex nonlinear structures. Recently, transient phenomena have been studied with explicit finite element analysis codes. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of tire cornering simulation using an explicit finite element code, PAM-SHOCK. First, we propose the cornering simulation using the explicit finite element analysis code. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation, computed cornering forces for a 175SR14 tire are compared with experimental results from an MTS Flat-Trac Tire Test System. The computed cornering forces agree well with experimental results. After that, parametric studies are conducted by using the proposed simulation.

The inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) is receiving more attention for shape sensing due to its independence from the material properties and the external load. However, a proper definition of the model geometry with its boundary conditions is required, together with the acquisition of the structure’s strain field with optimized sensor networks. The iFEM model definition is not trivial in the case of complex structures, in particular, if sensors are not applied on the whole structure allowing just a partial definition of the input strain field. To overcome this issue, this research proposes a simplified iFEM model in which the geometrical complexity is reduced and boundary conditions are tuned with the superimposition of the effects to behave as the real structure. The procedure is assessed for a complex aeronautical structure, where the reference displacement field is first computed in a numerical framework with input strains coming from a direct finite element analysis, confirming the effectiveness of the iFEM based on a simplified geometry. Finally, the model is fed with experimentally acquired strain measurements and the performance of the method is assessed in presence of a high level of uncertainty.

Abstract In this paper, A 3-D elasto-plastic contact problem in bearings is studied by Finite Element Method (FEM). A computer program has been developed for this purpose. A trial-error method is employed to cope with the geometrical nonlinearity and a tangential stiffness method is employed to tackle the material nonlinearity appeared in elasto-plastic contact problems. A frictionless contact problem of roller bearings is analysed, the result reveals that in 3-D elasto-plastic state the trend of the contact surface pressure distribution is similar to Hertz problem’s but flater.

The natural frequencies of circular saws limit the operating speeds of the saws. Current industry methods of increasing natural frequency include pretensioning, where plastic deformation is induced into the saw. To better model the saw, the finite element model is compared to current software for steel saws; C-SAW, a software program that calculates frequencies for stiffened circular saws. Using C-SAW and the finite element method the results are compared and the finite element method is validated for steel saws.
