Abstract: A model for deep-groove and angular-contact ball bearings was developed to investigate the influence of a flexible cage on bearing dynamics. The cage model introduces flexibility by representing ...

Abstract: The continuum theory of elasticity and/or homogeneously discretized finite element models have been commonly used to investigate and analyze subsurface stresses in Hertzian contacts. These approaches, ...

Abstract: Rolling contact fatigue of rolling element bearings is a statistical phenomenon that is strongly affected by the heterogeneous nature of the material microstructure. Heterogeneity in the microstructure ...
