Rolling element bearings are the most critical parts of any rotary mechanism. One of the
challenges in any bearing design is to minimize the friction and maximize life for a particular …

This work reviews the failure modes, mechanisms and causes of bearings in mechanical
equipment. Bearings are among the most important basic mechanical components. Their …

Full ceramic ball bearings (FCBB) are widely applied in wide temperature ranges due to the
good thermal shock resistance, but the change of fit clearance becomes a new problem …

The rolling bearing misalignment may lead to fracture failure of the cage. However, the
research on the vibration response of the rotor system caused by bearing misalignment and …

The goal of the paper is to present a solution to improve the fault detection accuracy of
rolling bearings. The method is based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), multiscale …

Variational mode decomposition (VMD) method is a recently employed signal processing
technique for fault identification from the vibration signal of rolling bearings. However, the …

It is inherent knowledge that rolling contact fatigue (RCF) failure of subsurface-initiated
spalls usually occur under optimum surface under heavy load. However, our previous work …

Mechanical transmission components are generally under the risk of contact fatigue,
resulting in cracks initiated from the subsurface. When subject to compressive stress, these …

This work presents an improved probabilistic continuum damage mechanics (CDM) finite
element (FE) model to simulate the degradation of material as a function of cycle in order to …

In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) continuum damage mechanics (CDM) finite element
(FE) model was developed to investigate the effects of fretting wear on rolling contact fatigue …
