Fea Analysis Of Novel Design Of Cylindrical Roller Bearing, Prasanna Subbarao Bhamidipati

ETD Archive

This work presents a finite element stress analysis of a novel design of cylindrical roller. The focus of this study is to create a uniform contact-stress distribution along the length of the roller and to recommend a roller bearing design which is easier to fabricate. The new design relies on creating symmetric cylindrical cavities at both ends of a roller. The cavity is concentric with the main body of the roller. The new roller design reduces overall mass of the typical assembly with helps to improve bearing life and its overall performance. The FEA results published herein shows that new …


Vibratory Behavior Of Rolling Element Bearings: A Lagrangian Approach, Phani Krishna Kalapala Jan 2011

Vibratory Behavior Of Rolling Element Bearings: A Lagrangian Approach, Phani Krishna Kalapala

ETD Archive

Vibratory behavior of a rolling element bearing on a horizontal rotor is studied in this work. This Thesis analyzes the dynamics of a typical roller bearing as a result of internal excitations. These internal excitations stem from the geometric deviations of the interacting surfaces from their ideal geometry. Such deviations in turn are the results of either manufacturing limitations or normal wear of the bearing surfaces. Lagrangian approach is implemented to derive the dynamic equations of motion. Matlab is used to solve the equation of motion of governing the vibrations of the system. Parametric studies are conducted to provide results …
