Numerical Model to Study of Contact Force in A Cylindrical Roller Bearing with Technical Mechanical Event Simulation

A study of contact force between rollers and races in a roller bearing with a numerical model for mechanical event simulations bearing is presented in this paper with different load type on shaft. These numerical models provide with the spatial and time distributions of stress and strain values, as well as all the nodal displacements at every time step. The model was developed with the finite element method (FEM) for mechanical event simulations (MES) with the commercial code AlgorTM. The model has been validated by verifying that the contact force distributions correspond to those predicted by the analytical model of Harris-Jones.
