In this paper, the thick top foil is applied to cope with the heavy load conditions, which has one order of magnitude larger top foil thickness than traditional top foil. Thick plate and curve shell models are developed to calculate the load carrying performance of thick top foil bearing based on contact mechanics, and the sag ratio is introduced to describe the degree of foil sag and estimate the bearing load capacity. The impacts of top foil thickness on the stiffness of bearings in different sizes as well on the adaptability to rotor tilt are discussed. The results indicate that the thick top foil (tt=2mm) bearing performs a nearly 100% enhanced load capacity at small gas film thickness whether rotor tilts or not. Thick top foil will increase the bearing stiffness of small size (d=35 mm) and tends to has little influence on large size bearing stiffness (d=70 mm).","PeriodicalId":17586,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42460082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On a newly established test setup for rotor bearings, Fast Fourier Techniques are used to extract the vibration responses of bearings that have been artificially damaged using Electro-chemical Machining. VMD techniques diminish the noise of the measurement data, to decompose data processed into multiple sub-data sets for extracting incipient defect characteristics. The simplicity of the VMD-ICA model enriched the precision of diagnosis correlated to the experimental results with weak fault characteristic signal and noise interference.

The roller was lubricated via oil bath in a sealed housing. Inner and outer bearing raceway pieces were fixed above and below the roller to mimic the internal geometry of an actual bearing. The cage pocket was made from transparent acrylic to look inside the cage and observe oil flow during operation. A six-axis load cell was used to measure the torque generated by the entire test rig with and without the cage pocket, and used to isolate the friction of the cage pocket. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of roller-pocket clearance, roller-race clearance, and roller oil submersion level at rest. Results suggest that roller bearing cage pocket friction increases with decreasing pocket clearance, increasing oil availability, and increasing operating speed. The oil was observed to coalesce into stable striations inside the cage pocket for many operating conditions. Striation width was observed to decrease with increasing speed, increasing pocket clearance, and decreasing oil availability. The striations were summarized by oil volume fraction inside the cage pocket, which decreased with increasing speed, decreasing pocket clearance and decreasing oil availability. The current results provide new information about oil behavior inside roller bearing cage pockets during operation, and an approach is presented to estimate roller bearing cage pocket friction.","PeriodicalId":17586,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46129665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a response is often based on a non-realistic universal equation of state, despite longstanding evidence of its lack of support by measurements. A finite element framework is employed to investigate the damping and stiffness characteristics of line contact EHD lubricating films, subject to a harmonic loading. Both the equivalent stiffness and damping coefficients of lubricating films are found to increase with the base applied external load, and its amplitude of oscillation. They decrease however with increasing mean entrainment speed and load oscillation frequency. That is, they both increase as lubricant films get thinner. By comparison with the real density-pressure response of a highly compressible silicon oil, the universal equation of state is shown to underestimate the lubricant film's stiffness and damping characteristics. The relative deviations in equivalent damping and stiffness coefficients can reach up to about 12% and 25%, respectively. Therefore, realistic lubricant characteristics should always be considered. In particular, the use of the universal equation of state should not be taken for granted, as is customary in the EHL literature. Lubricant density-pressure response is not of a secondary nature, when it comes to predicting the dynamic performance characteristics of EHL conjunctions.","PeriodicalId":17586,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43329162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effects of Axial Clearance on Surface Initiated Flaking in Tapered Roller Bearings","authors":"Ken Takahashi, Takafumi Nagatomo","doi":"10.1115/1.4056627","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4056627","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 The calculating method for fatigue life of rolling bearings is based on the theory of Lundberg and Palmgren. The rated life is determined from the ratio of the dynamic load rating of the bearing to the dynamic equivalent load. However, in actual applications, flaking damage may occur earlier than this rated life. For example, surface initiated flaking may occur due to contamination in the lubricant. In addition, differences in the internal clearance of bearings are also thought to influence the occurrence of surface initiated flaking. This study aims to investigate the effect of different internal clearance on surface initiated flaking in tapered roller bearings. Firstly, rotating tests were conducted on combination tapered roller bearings with dented raceways under several axial clearances different from the standard condition. Secondly, the surface profiles of the bearings before and after the tests were compared to investigate the relationship between the distribution of flaking area and the axial clearance. Furthermore, the effect of axial clearance on the surface initiated flaking life was clarified from the comparison between the results of the rotating tests. Finally, the theoretical and experimental lives were compared. As a result, it has been found that when the axial clearance is excessively large, the distribution of flaking is biased toward the large diameter side of the outer raceway. In addition, it has been demonstrated that the bearing life is substantially affected by the axial clearance, and that the bearing life shortens as the axial clearance increases.","PeriodicalId":17586,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45251549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the oilstone surface topography characterized with grain morphology, size, posture and position distribution, protrusion heights and etc., is of great significance to understand honing mechanism in terms of establishing an accurate kinematic model and further analyzing the oilstone property's impact on honing process and honed surface texture characteristics including groove density, roughness heights and plateau/valley amplitudes. Conventionally, two typical approaches have been employed to establish the surface topography of abrasive-based cutting tools: experimentally microscopic observation and backward modeling/simulation from the assumed ideal distribution laws such as Gaussian or uniform distribution for stochastic grain characteristics. The first method is usually time-consuming and only measures surface topography within rather small area; whereas the second one is highly dependent on the authenticity of assumed statistical distribution laws. To overcome these weaknesses, the research proposed a functional forward method (FFM) to accurately predict surface topography of oilstone based on simulating its manufacturing processes in succession to avoid distributional assumptions and geometrical simplification. The methodology takes into consideration five important stochastic characteristics of oilstone including grain morphology, size, posture, position distribution and grain wear during honing process, to guarantee the credibility, authenticity and generality of the surface topography generated from honing. Based on the oilstone surface topography, a kinematic simulation method (KISM) was proposed to analyze the honed surface texture characteristics of cylinder bore with oilstone samples under different stirring times. Therefore, the methodology bridges oilstone manufacturing parameters, oilstone surface topography and further the honed surface texture to provide a fresh insight into the parameter's optimization of oilstone manufacturing process by achieving a better control on the honed surface texture of cylinder bore.","PeriodicalId":17586,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tribology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49585836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
