Investigation of dynamic processes in ball bearings with defects

Abstract

The paper considers the dynamics of ball bearings with defects. A mathematical model of a ball bearing with defects is offered. The performed theoretical and experimental investigations of ball bearings with defects are described. Five cases of various defects are investigated, including the defective outer race, the defective inner race, the defective rolling element, the defective inner and outer races, the rolling element and a separator, the worn-out ball bearing.
