8.3 A single ball rolling in a groove has a 10-mm diameter and a 4-N normal...
The ball-outer-race contact of a ball bearing has a 17-mm ball diameter, an 8.84-mm outer-race groove radius, and a 44.52-mm radius from the bearing axis to the bottom of the groove. The load on the most highly loaded ball is 10,000 N. Calculate the dimensions of the contact ellipse and the maximum deformation at the center of the contact. The race and the ball are made of steel. Ans. Dy = 6.935 mm, Dx = 0.9973 mm.
b) A 150mm diameter shaft has a 25mm diameter ball rolling circumferentially around the outside with a normal load of 1200N. The ball is made of silicon nitride (E = 314GPa, v = 0.26) and the shaft is made of steel (E = 206 GPa, v = 0.30). Apply Hertzian contact analysis to determine the, Curvature sum (include a diagram(s) to define the contact geometry considered) [4 Marks] ii. Dimensions of the contact ellipse [6 Marks] Maximum elastic deformation in...
