Abstract

For the past several decades, significant efforts have been devoted to modeling and analysis of rolling-element bearings to aid in their design and application. This paper reviewed the modeling and analysis of rolling-element bearings with emphasis on single-row ball and roller bearings. The application of bearing models was reviewed as well along with illustrative results.
