Abstract

An interactive and easy to use simulation tool has been developed to simulate and depict normal loads, contact angle, normal deformations, and stresses at any angular position of the rolling element for combined loaded radial ball bearings. The importance of this work comes from the ability to determine the contact angle and induced normal toad at any angular position. The main objective of this work is to lower stresses within the bearings, consequently, bearing fatigue life which is governed by stress level is significantly affected, showing that the lower the stress level the higher the service lifetime. This work is intended to serve both design and maintenance engineers.
