ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE VIBRATION OF A BEARING WITH FLEXURALLY RIGID RACES.

Abstract

An analytical study of the vibrations induced by geometrical irregularities (waviness in the race grooves and balls and ball diameter varia tions) in an axially loaded ball bearing is presented. It is assumed that both races are flexurally rigid and deform elastically only at the contacts between balls and races. Ball mass is taken to be negligible, and zero damping is assumed. To simplify the mathematics a linear approximation of the elastic deformation at the contacts is first used. Effects of certain types of non-linearity are then examined. (Author)
