This monograph presents computational models that describe
electro-mechanical characteristics of tapered and cylinder roller
bearings in various industrial applications. Applying the
Levenberg-Marquardt’s algorithm to solving strongly nonlinear coupled
equation systems, the computational models consisting of many circular
slices per rolling element enable computations of the local Hertzian
pressures at the elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contact area, the relating
oil-film thickness in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL), the limiting
voltage of electro-pitting, bearing frictions, and fatigue lifetimes of
the bearings for various load spectra. Using the best-known
machine-learning method for clustering, the load spectrum is clustered
in k cluster means based on the invariant damage number to
accelerate the load spectrum. Furthermore, the accelerated load spectrum
is used for the testing procedure of the bearings to reduce the testing
time and costs as well.
The target audience of this book primarily comprises graduate students in mechanical engineering and practicing engineers of electro-machines and transmission systems who want to computationally design tapered and cylinder roller bearings for the automotive industry and other industries, and to deeply dive into these relating working fields.
