1 Introduction

Rolling bearings are widely used in rotating machinerysystem such as aeroengine rotors system machine toolspindles and train wheelset However they are the weaklinks of mechanical because their mechanical propertiesand operating state have significant impact on precisionreliability and life of the whole system The failure of rollingbearings not only affects the performance of mechanicalequipment but also causes serious accident Thus fatiguelife prediction for rolling bearing has important theoreticalsignificance and practical value

The dynamics behavior of rolling bearings is observablyaffected by factors such as centrifugal force gyroscopicmoment friction thermal deformation and external loadon unconventional conditions like high speed and highaccelerated velocity In this case the movement inside rollingbearing becomes very complex Besides pure rolling contactbetween rolling elements and raceways motions like spin-ning and skidding are accompanied The failure mechanismanalysis fault diagnosis and life prediction for rolling bear-ings become more difficult because of the significant change

mathematical description for roller inner raceway and outerraceway Patel et al [9] established a dynamical model fordeep groove ball bearing to study the vibration responsewhensingle point or multipoint faults existing on inner and outerraceways Above researches for dynamic simulation of rollingbearings are helpful to understand the failure mechanismand characteristic of bearings and provide fundamental basisfor monitoring and fault diagnosis of rolling bearings tosome extent However most of the models do not considerthe influence of parameters such as rotational speed oper-ation temperature rise and external load Considering thecentrifugal expansion and thermal deformation when innerraceway rotating Cao et al [10 11] improved Jonesrsquo rollingbearing model [12] A mechanical model for high speedrolling bearing was developed and verified by experimentsContact loads and contact positions inside rolling bearingsunder static load dynamic load and high rotational speedwere studied

The rolling bearing failure is typical rolling contactfatigue [13] Because fatigue spall of material originatingfrom subsurface caused by rolling contact is the main failureform of rolling bearing [14] researchers put forward a lotof rolling contact fatigue models to predict rolling bearinglife in past decades The deterministic research modelsfor rolling contact fatigue (RCF) as an important class ofbearing life models consider complete stress-strain behaviorinformation of materials under contact loading [15] Taraf etal [16] studied the modeling of the rolling contact fatigueinitiation life which was simulated with moving Hertziancontact pressure It was found that the size and shape ofdefects in material played an important role in fatigue crackinitiation Deshpande and Chandra Kishen [17] proposeda method for rolling contact fatigue crack propagationanalysis with the concepts of Hertzian contact mechanicsassociated with fracture mechanics This algorithm could beused to determine whether the bearing failure caused bycrack propagation Using the method of equivalent initialflaw size Liu and Mahadevan [18] applied the propagationmodel to calculate initiation fatigue life Then the modelfor crack initiation and growth was obtained Liu and Choi[19] developed a method to model the RCF life of finishhard machined surfaces and proved by experiment The RCFmodel was based on both the crack initiation life and thecrack propagation life

Calculation of contact stress field is essential for theprediction of bearing fatigue life and many studies havebeen conducted on solving contact stress field and RCFproblems Hertz created elasticity contact theory providingfoundation of contact stress analysis and calculation Hertztheory provided formula of surface stress field in correspond-ing contact area Lundberg and Palmgren [20] simplifiedHertz contact problem Corresponding contact parameterscould be obtained just by querying contact coefficient tablesLots of tests proved rolling contact fatigue often initiated insubsurface therefore the analysis for subsurface stress fieldof contact area is important to research failure mechanismand life prediction of contact fatigue [13] Johnson [21] gavea formula to calculate the principal stress at any depth in thesubsurface of contact area Sadeghirsquos group [22ndash25] developed

a Voronoi finite element model to simulate the microstruc-ture of material and calculate the stress field of contact areaThe effect of microstructure of material on contact stress fieldand rolling contact fatigue life was discussed

Traditional researches were mostly based on models forcontact between single roller and raceway but these modelshave not developedwholemechanicalmodel to analyze stressof a whole bearing Meanwhile the influences of parameterslike bearing structure and operating condition on bearinglife were not considered Based on modified Jonesrsquo model[12] this paper analyzes mechanics principle of a bearingand solves contact loads and contact angles under high-speedconditions On the basis of the above model stress field ofsurface and subsurface of bearing is calculated by dichotomyThen a couplingmodel of life and damage which consideringthe mechanical property of a bearing is established to predictthe fatigue initiation life of bearing parts and qualitativelyverified through accelerated life test

2 Quasistatic Modeling for Rolling Bearings

The movement inside an angular contact ball bearingbecomes complicated at high speed The contact load andthe contact angle are significantly changed because of cen-trifugal forces and gyroscopicmomentsMoreover operatingtemperature will increase with the run time growing sothat thermal deformation occurs on bearings These causesignificant change on contact stress field and then affectthe fatigue life of rolling bearing Jonesrsquo bearing model isa more complete bearing mechanics mode however it hasnot considered the dilatational strain caused by rapid risingtemperature and centrifugal force In this paper the Jonesrsquobearing model is improved with the consideration of effectof centrifugal force and gyroscopic couple and can take theinfluences of radial thermal expansion and centrifugationexpansion of inner raceway on geometric displacement insidethe bearing into account So the contact load and the contactangle under the influences of these factors can be calculated

21 Geometrical Properties of anAngular Contact Ball BearingThe typical geometric construction of an angular contactball bearing is shown in Figure 1 In the figure 120593119896 is theazimuth angle of the 119896th roller Based on finite element ideaa rolling bearing can be viewed as an element comprisedof an inner raceway node and an outer raceway node Themotion of each node contains 5 degrees of freedom (DOFs)In order to facilitate the analysis the outer raceway is fixedSet the relative displacements of these 5 DOFs between innerraceway and outer as Δ120575119909 Δ120575119910 Δ120575119911 Δ120574119910 and Δ120574119911

As shown in Figure 2 when rolling bearings operatedthe relative positions of inner raceway rolling element andouter raceway will be changedThe inner raceway and rollingelement havemoved to new locations respectively after bear-ings reach equilibrium states Then the distances betweencurvature centre of raceways and roller are as follows

Δ 119894119896 = 119903119894 minus 05119863+120575119894119896 = (119891119894 minus 05)119863+ 120575119894119896

Δ 119900119896 = 119903119900 minus 05119863+120575119900119896 = (119891119900 minus 05)119863+ 120575119900119896

The relative displacement variation of inner racewaycurvature center is as follows

where 120576119894119903 and 120576119900119903 are radial thermal expansion of inner race-way and outer raceway respectively which can be obtained byfinite element heat analysis [26] 119906119894119903 is the expansion of innerraceway under the action of centrifugal force

Using the Pythagorean Theorem it can be seen fromFigure 2 that the displacement of bearing internal structurein working state is

3 Life Prediction Model ofRolling Contact Bearing

31 Contact Stress Field Modeling and Numerical Solutioninside Angular Contact Ball Bearing The contact stress fieldbetween rolling element and raceway is altered because of thesignificant changing of contact angle and contact load underhigh speed rotation which will affect the fatigue life of rollingbearingsTherefore it is very important to established contactstress model of relationship between rolling element andraceway and to find the high efficiency numerical solutionmethod

311 Ball-Raceway Contact Mechanics Model In angularcontact ball bearings the contact zone between a ball and araceway is elliptical based on Hertz contact theory Surfacestress distribution inside the contact area has a semiellipsoidas shown in Figure 4 In the figure 119886 and 119887 are the semimajorand semiminor axes of the elliptical area of contact respec-tively

When the contact load is119876 the normal stress at any point(119909 119910) in the contact area surface can be expressed as follows[13]

According to (10) the key to the solution of Hertz contactproblem is to obtain the value of supplementary parameter 120581

312 Numerical Solution of Contact Model Harris andKotzalas [13] and Lundberg and Palmgren [20] suggestedsimplified computational methods to calculate Hertz contactstress However these methods all make approximation tomodel parameters which result in certain errors It will notonly affect the calculation accuracy of contact area stress fieldbut also cause some error to the calculation of rolling contactfatigue life Therefore dichotomy is used to simulate theHertz point contact problem to reduce the error of contactstress analysis Figure 5 shows the program chart

In order to determine the contact ellipse parameter 120581firstly the eccentricity of contact ellipse 119890 should be con-firmed while 119890 can be obtained from the following equation[27]

as possible and then contact parameters 119886lowast 119887lowast and 120575lowast are

solved numericallyThe above numerical method is used to solve and analyze

the stress field of 7311B angular contact ball bearing Table 1shows parameters of the bearing The results are comparedwith results of Lundbergrsquos simple algorithm [27] as shown inTables 2 and 3

From Table 2 some errors between contact area size gotthrough numerical method and Lundbergrsquos simple algorithmexist but all less than 15 So the two methods can beverified with each other The obtained maximum contactstresses are shown in Table 3 The maximum contact stresserror at inner raceway is about 126 and about 084 atouter raceway Thus it can be seen that Lundbergrsquos simplealgorithm can roughly estimate the contact problem whencalculation accuracy is not high

32 Coupling Model of Fatigue Life and Damage for RollingBearing Suppose contact fatigue damage of rolling bearingsis isotropic thus the damage variable can be expressed as ascalar119863 which means damage variable [30]

119863 =120575119878119863

120575119904 (15)

where 120575119878119863 is damaged area on the section and 120575119878 is a sectionarea of infinitesimal

Damage variable 119863 ranges from 0 to 1 When 119863 is 0 itmeans the section has not been injured When119863 is 1 it indi-cates the section is full of damage and the bearing material isdestroyed entirely In fact real material is destroyed before119863reaches 1 Use 119863119888 to express the critical damage threshold ofmaterial experiments show that 119863119888 has a value between 02and 08 for metal material

Based on damage mechanics the rate of damage evolu-tion of high-cycle fatigue links with damage variable 119863 andstress level 120590 which expressed by a nonlinear equation asfollows [30]

d119863d119873

= 119891 (120590119863) (16)

Based on the nonlinear equation a two-parameter lifemodel coupled with damage was proposed by Chaboche andLesne [31] and Xiao et al [32] which was widely used topredict the fatigue life of crack initiation

d119863d119873

= [Δ120590

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(17)

where Δ120590 is the maximum variation range of stress in astress cycle 120590119903 and 119898 are two temperature-related materialconstants

For rolling contact note that the subsurface normalstresses on all the contact areas between raceway androllers are compressive and prevent crack propagation someassumptions are made [33] (1) damage accumulation cannotbe caused by subsurface pressure stress acting on cell nodes(2) the shear stress acting on cell nodes help to damageaccumulation and subsurface micro-crack propagation Thisis consistent with the view of subsurface crack in rollingbearing only propagating in mode II (sliding mode crack)Thus only shear stress amplitude Δ120591 can be used to predictthe fatigue life The damage evolution equation is expressedas follows

= [Δ120591

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

(18)

In view of the rolling contact fatigue damage is causedonly by the shear behavior of material the rolling contactfatigue is assumed to equivalent to torsional fatigue Soparameters 120590119903 and 119898 can be obtained from torsional fatiguecurve of a material

33 Simulation of Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts under Dif-ferent Loads and Rotational Speeds According to the abovequasistatic model contact angles and contact loads of abearing change with different operation conditions whichhave large effects on contact stress field and fatigue life ofbearing parts Ignore the impact of friction lubrication andmaterial inclusion on fatigue life of bearing parts to sametype rolling bearing the fatigue life of bearing parts is mainlyaffected by rotational speed 119899 axial load 119865119886 and radial load119865119903 This paper discusses the influences of these factors underthe circumstance of fixed outer raceway and rotating innerraceway

The contact angle and the contact load distribution of7311B angular contact ball bearing are calculated by the abovemodified Jonesrsquo model under different operating conditionsSubstitute these calculated load data in life prediction modeland then the fatigue life of bearing parts is obtained

331 Effect of Rotational Speed on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsWhile external load is invariable contact angles and contactloads of a bearing will be significantly changed because of theincrease of centrifugal force with rotational speed increasingIt will cause the life of bearing parts to be different Settingaxial load 119865119886 = 50 kN and radial load 119865119903 = 0 changing thespindle rotational speed then the changes of fatigue life ofbearing parts with rotational speed can be predicted as shownin Figure 6

Figure 7 The change of fatigue life with axial load 119865119886

As can be seen from Figure 6 the fatigue life of outerraceway is shortened gradually with the increasing of therotational speed and the fatigue life of inner raceway andball tend to be larger This is mainly due to the change of themaximum orthogonal shear stress at contact area caused bythe variation of centrifugal force The maximum orthogonalshear stress of the outer raceway will increase with theincrease of centrifugal force but the orthogonal shear stressof inner raceway decreases From the simulation results thefatigue life of outer raceway is the longest ball is the secondand inner raceway is the lowest

332 Effect of Axial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts Inthis case only the axial load is changed while the rotationalspeed and the radial load are constant This situation affectsthe stress field at contact area and further affects the fatiguelife of a bearing Figure 7 shows the variation trend of fatiguelife of bearing parts with axial load 119865119886 under the case radialload 119865119903 = 0 and rotational speed 119899 = 1400 rmin

As shown in Figure 7 increasing of axial load causesthe decrease of fatigue life of ball outer raceway and innerraceway This is because the maximum orthogonal shearstress increases with the axial load increasing However dueto the different increase rate of orthogonal shear stress fatiguelife of the three parts has different decline rates The fatiguelife of inner raceway falls at the fastest rate ball second andouter raceway the slowest We also see from the figure thatwhen axial load less than 29 kN the inner raceway has thelongest life of the three parts But when axial load bigger than29 kN the outer raceway life becomes the longest though itdoes not appear to be much different among fatigue life ofthree parts

333 Effect of Radial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsThe fatigue life of three bearing parts is also influenced by

1400 rmin is shown in Figure 8It can be found from Figure 8 that the fatigue life of outer

raceway and ball decreases with the increasing radial loadwhile the fatigue life of inner raceway increases slowly Atfirst the inner raceway life is the shortest among three partsHowever it exceeds ball life when radial load increases toabout 5 kN and exceeds outer raceway life when the loadat 17 kN or so The increase of radial load leads to contactangle and contact load changing which causes themaximumorthogonal shear stress of outer raceway and ball increase andinner raceway decreaseThis situation results in the variationof bearing parts life

34 Accelerated Life Test of Bearing To verify the accuracyof the model an accelerated life test was performed Theexperimental work carried out on the T20-60nF bearingfatigue life tester as shown in Figure 9 7311B angular contactball bearing was used in the test under one simulationworking condition as 119899 = 1400 rmin 119865119886 = 50 kN and

119865119903 = 0 Four acceleration sensors and an acoustic emissionsensor were installed to monitor the work status Because thecrack initiation life is difficult to determine in test the lifemodel cannot be quantitatively verified through comparingcalculated life with test value Because for bearing the failureof one of the parts means the failure of whole bearing if thefirst damage part of bearing in experiment is in agreementwith simulated result the model can be proved qualitativelyAccording to the simulation result the fatigue life is 137 times 106cycles 452times 106 cycles and 210times 106 cycles for inner racewayouter raceway and ball respectively It can be seen from theresult that the life of the inner raceway is the lowest that isthe inner raceway will be the most easily damaged part

35 Results Analysis There was no obvious damage thatcan be seen in outer raceway inner raceway and ball afterexperiment Small dots were found on the surface of innerraceway as shown in Figure 10(a) while not found on outerraceway (shown in Figure 10(b)) and ball under VMS-1510Gimagemeasurement instrument To further confirm the smalldots on inner raceway were fatigue damage the surfacecharacterization of the three bearing parts was studied underscanning electron microscope (SEM) as shown in Figure 11

Obvious pits about 25 120583m in size on the surface of innerraceway can be seen in Figure 11(a) which can be determinedtomicrospalling caused by contact fatigue inmorphologyOnthe other side there was no pit on surface of outer racewayand ball as can be seen in Figures 11(b) and 11(c)This suggeststhat the fatigue damage first appears on inner raceway ofbearing in accelerated life testThis result which is consistentwith the fatigue life model demonstrates qualitatively thecorrectness of coupling model of life and damage

4 Conclusion

In current study a quasistatic model considering mechanicalproperties of whole bearing was introduced into the fatiguelife calculation of angular contact ball bearing Then acouplingmodel of fatigue life and damage was established forrolling bearing The fatigue life of bearing parts was analyzedunder different rotational speed axial load and radial loadThe results have shown that different working condition has agreat influence on fatigue lives of bearing parts under settingconditions in this paper specifically as follows

(1) With the increasing of rotational speed the fatiguelife of inner raceway and rollers is up while of outerraceway decline The rotational speed does not muchaffect the order in which the damage appear onbearing parts

(2) The fatigue life of three parts decreases with the axialload increasing the fastest of which is the life ofinner raceway The rolling elements and raceways aredamaged in different order under different load valueThe inner raceway is easiest to emerge failure whenaxial load is higher than 29 kN

(3) As radial load increasing the fatigue life of outerraceway and rollers falls while of inner raceway rising

mathematical description for roller inner raceway and outerraceway Patel et al [9] established a dynamical model fordeep groove ball bearing to study the vibration responsewhensingle point or multipoint faults existing on inner and outerraceways Above researches for dynamic simulation of rollingbearings are helpful to understand the failure mechanismand characteristic of bearings and provide fundamental basisfor monitoring and fault diagnosis of rolling bearings tosome extent However most of the models do not considerthe influence of parameters such as rotational speed oper-ation temperature rise and external load Considering thecentrifugal expansion and thermal deformation when innerraceway rotating Cao et al [10 11] improved Jonesrsquo rollingbearing model [12] A mechanical model for high speedrolling bearing was developed and verified by experimentsContact loads and contact positions inside rolling bearingsunder static load dynamic load and high rotational speedwere studied

The rolling bearing failure is typical rolling contactfatigue [13] Because fatigue spall of material originatingfrom subsurface caused by rolling contact is the main failureform of rolling bearing [14] researchers put forward a lotof rolling contact fatigue models to predict rolling bearinglife in past decades The deterministic research modelsfor rolling contact fatigue (RCF) as an important class ofbearing life models consider complete stress-strain behaviorinformation of materials under contact loading [15] Taraf etal [16] studied the modeling of the rolling contact fatigueinitiation life which was simulated with moving Hertziancontact pressure It was found that the size and shape ofdefects in material played an important role in fatigue crackinitiation Deshpande and Chandra Kishen [17] proposeda method for rolling contact fatigue crack propagationanalysis with the concepts of Hertzian contact mechanicsassociated with fracture mechanics This algorithm could beused to determine whether the bearing failure caused bycrack propagation Using the method of equivalent initialflaw size Liu and Mahadevan [18] applied the propagationmodel to calculate initiation fatigue life Then the modelfor crack initiation and growth was obtained Liu and Choi[19] developed a method to model the RCF life of finishhard machined surfaces and proved by experiment The RCFmodel was based on both the crack initiation life and thecrack propagation life

Calculation of contact stress field is essential for theprediction of bearing fatigue life and many studies havebeen conducted on solving contact stress field and RCFproblems Hertz created elasticity contact theory providingfoundation of contact stress analysis and calculation Hertztheory provided formula of surface stress field in correspond-ing contact area Lundberg and Palmgren [20] simplifiedHertz contact problem Corresponding contact parameterscould be obtained just by querying contact coefficient tablesLots of tests proved rolling contact fatigue often initiated insubsurface therefore the analysis for subsurface stress fieldof contact area is important to research failure mechanismand life prediction of contact fatigue [13] Johnson [21] gavea formula to calculate the principal stress at any depth in thesubsurface of contact area Sadeghirsquos group [22ndash25] developed

a Voronoi finite element model to simulate the microstruc-ture of material and calculate the stress field of contact areaThe effect of microstructure of material on contact stress fieldand rolling contact fatigue life was discussed

Traditional researches were mostly based on models forcontact between single roller and raceway but these modelshave not developedwholemechanicalmodel to analyze stressof a whole bearing Meanwhile the influences of parameterslike bearing structure and operating condition on bearinglife were not considered Based on modified Jonesrsquo model[12] this paper analyzes mechanics principle of a bearingand solves contact loads and contact angles under high-speedconditions On the basis of the above model stress field ofsurface and subsurface of bearing is calculated by dichotomyThen a couplingmodel of life and damage which consideringthe mechanical property of a bearing is established to predictthe fatigue initiation life of bearing parts and qualitativelyverified through accelerated life test

2 Quasistatic Modeling for Rolling Bearings

The movement inside an angular contact ball bearingbecomes complicated at high speed The contact load andthe contact angle are significantly changed because of cen-trifugal forces and gyroscopicmomentsMoreover operatingtemperature will increase with the run time growing sothat thermal deformation occurs on bearings These causesignificant change on contact stress field and then affectthe fatigue life of rolling bearing Jonesrsquo bearing model isa more complete bearing mechanics mode however it hasnot considered the dilatational strain caused by rapid risingtemperature and centrifugal force In this paper the Jonesrsquobearing model is improved with the consideration of effectof centrifugal force and gyroscopic couple and can take theinfluences of radial thermal expansion and centrifugationexpansion of inner raceway on geometric displacement insidethe bearing into account So the contact load and the contactangle under the influences of these factors can be calculated

21 Geometrical Properties of anAngular Contact Ball BearingThe typical geometric construction of an angular contactball bearing is shown in Figure 1 In the figure 120593119896 is theazimuth angle of the 119896th roller Based on finite element ideaa rolling bearing can be viewed as an element comprisedof an inner raceway node and an outer raceway node Themotion of each node contains 5 degrees of freedom (DOFs)In order to facilitate the analysis the outer raceway is fixedSet the relative displacements of these 5 DOFs between innerraceway and outer as Δ120575119909 Δ120575119910 Δ120575119911 Δ120574119910 and Δ120574119911

As shown in Figure 2 when rolling bearings operatedthe relative positions of inner raceway rolling element andouter raceway will be changedThe inner raceway and rollingelement havemoved to new locations respectively after bear-ings reach equilibrium states Then the distances betweencurvature centre of raceways and roller are as follows

Δ 119894119896 = 119903119894 minus 05119863+120575119894119896 = (119891119894 minus 05)119863+ 120575119894119896

Δ 119900119896 = 119903119900 minus 05119863+120575119900119896 = (119891119900 minus 05)119863+ 120575119900119896

The relative displacement variation of inner racewaycurvature center is as follows

where 120576119894119903 and 120576119900119903 are radial thermal expansion of inner race-way and outer raceway respectively which can be obtained byfinite element heat analysis [26] 119906119894119903 is the expansion of innerraceway under the action of centrifugal force

3 Life Prediction Model ofRolling Contact Bearing

31 Contact Stress Field Modeling and Numerical Solutioninside Angular Contact Ball Bearing The contact stress fieldbetween rolling element and raceway is altered because of thesignificant changing of contact angle and contact load underhigh speed rotation which will affect the fatigue life of rollingbearingsTherefore it is very important to established contactstress model of relationship between rolling element andraceway and to find the high efficiency numerical solutionmethod

311 Ball-Raceway Contact Mechanics Model In angularcontact ball bearings the contact zone between a ball and araceway is elliptical based on Hertz contact theory Surfacestress distribution inside the contact area has a semiellipsoidas shown in Figure 4 In the figure 119886 and 119887 are the semimajorand semiminor axes of the elliptical area of contact respec-tively

When the contact load is119876 the normal stress at any point(119909 119910) in the contact area surface can be expressed as follows[13]

According to (10) the key to the solution of Hertz contactproblem is to obtain the value of supplementary parameter 120581

312 Numerical Solution of Contact Model Harris andKotzalas [13] and Lundberg and Palmgren [20] suggestedsimplified computational methods to calculate Hertz contactstress However these methods all make approximation tomodel parameters which result in certain errors It will notonly affect the calculation accuracy of contact area stress fieldbut also cause some error to the calculation of rolling contactfatigue life Therefore dichotomy is used to simulate theHertz point contact problem to reduce the error of contactstress analysis Figure 5 shows the program chart

In order to determine the contact ellipse parameter 120581firstly the eccentricity of contact ellipse 119890 should be con-firmed while 119890 can be obtained from the following equation[27]

the stress field of 7311B angular contact ball bearing Table 1shows parameters of the bearing The results are comparedwith results of Lundbergrsquos simple algorithm [27] as shown inTables 2 and 3

From Table 2 some errors between contact area size gotthrough numerical method and Lundbergrsquos simple algorithmexist but all less than 15 So the two methods can beverified with each other The obtained maximum contactstresses are shown in Table 3 The maximum contact stresserror at inner raceway is about 126 and about 084 atouter raceway Thus it can be seen that Lundbergrsquos simplealgorithm can roughly estimate the contact problem whencalculation accuracy is not high

32 Coupling Model of Fatigue Life and Damage for RollingBearing Suppose contact fatigue damage of rolling bearingsis isotropic thus the damage variable can be expressed as ascalar119863 which means damage variable [30]

119863 =120575119878119863

120575119904 (15)

where 120575119878119863 is damaged area on the section and 120575119878 is a sectionarea of infinitesimal

Damage variable 119863 ranges from 0 to 1 When 119863 is 0 itmeans the section has not been injured When119863 is 1 it indi-cates the section is full of damage and the bearing material isdestroyed entirely In fact real material is destroyed before119863reaches 1 Use 119863119888 to express the critical damage threshold ofmaterial experiments show that 119863119888 has a value between 02and 08 for metal material

Based on damage mechanics the rate of damage evolu-tion of high-cycle fatigue links with damage variable 119863 andstress level 120590 which expressed by a nonlinear equation asfollows [30]

d119863d119873

= 119891 (120590119863) (16)

Based on the nonlinear equation a two-parameter lifemodel coupled with damage was proposed by Chaboche andLesne [31] and Xiao et al [32] which was widely used topredict the fatigue life of crack initiation

d119863d119873

= [Δ120590

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(17)

where Δ120590 is the maximum variation range of stress in astress cycle 120590119903 and 119898 are two temperature-related materialconstants

For rolling contact note that the subsurface normalstresses on all the contact areas between raceway androllers are compressive and prevent crack propagation someassumptions are made [33] (1) damage accumulation cannotbe caused by subsurface pressure stress acting on cell nodes(2) the shear stress acting on cell nodes help to damageaccumulation and subsurface micro-crack propagation Thisis consistent with the view of subsurface crack in rollingbearing only propagating in mode II (sliding mode crack)Thus only shear stress amplitude Δ120591 can be used to predictthe fatigue life The damage evolution equation is expressedas follows

= [Δ120591

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(18)

In view of the rolling contact fatigue damage is causedonly by the shear behavior of material the rolling contactfatigue is assumed to equivalent to torsional fatigue Soparameters 120590119903 and 119898 can be obtained from torsional fatiguecurve of a material

33 Simulation of Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts under Dif-ferent Loads and Rotational Speeds According to the abovequasistatic model contact angles and contact loads of abearing change with different operation conditions whichhave large effects on contact stress field and fatigue life ofbearing parts Ignore the impact of friction lubrication andmaterial inclusion on fatigue life of bearing parts to sametype rolling bearing the fatigue life of bearing parts is mainlyaffected by rotational speed 119899 axial load 119865119886 and radial load119865119903 This paper discusses the influences of these factors underthe circumstance of fixed outer raceway and rotating innerraceway

The contact angle and the contact load distribution of7311B angular contact ball bearing are calculated by the abovemodified Jonesrsquo model under different operating conditionsSubstitute these calculated load data in life prediction modeland then the fatigue life of bearing parts is obtained

331 Effect of Rotational Speed on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsWhile external load is invariable contact angles and contactloads of a bearing will be significantly changed because of theincrease of centrifugal force with rotational speed increasingIt will cause the life of bearing parts to be different Settingaxial load 119865119886 = 50 kN and radial load 119865119903 = 0 changing thespindle rotational speed then the changes of fatigue life ofbearing parts with rotational speed can be predicted as shownin Figure 6

Figure 7 The change of fatigue life with axial load 119865119886

As can be seen from Figure 6 the fatigue life of outerraceway is shortened gradually with the increasing of therotational speed and the fatigue life of inner raceway andball tend to be larger This is mainly due to the change of themaximum orthogonal shear stress at contact area caused bythe variation of centrifugal force The maximum orthogonalshear stress of the outer raceway will increase with theincrease of centrifugal force but the orthogonal shear stressof inner raceway decreases From the simulation results thefatigue life of outer raceway is the longest ball is the secondand inner raceway is the lowest

332 Effect of Axial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts Inthis case only the axial load is changed while the rotationalspeed and the radial load are constant This situation affectsthe stress field at contact area and further affects the fatiguelife of a bearing Figure 7 shows the variation trend of fatiguelife of bearing parts with axial load 119865119886 under the case radialload 119865119903 = 0 and rotational speed 119899 = 1400 rmin

As shown in Figure 7 increasing of axial load causesthe decrease of fatigue life of ball outer raceway and innerraceway This is because the maximum orthogonal shearstress increases with the axial load increasing However dueto the different increase rate of orthogonal shear stress fatiguelife of the three parts has different decline rates The fatiguelife of inner raceway falls at the fastest rate ball second andouter raceway the slowest We also see from the figure thatwhen axial load less than 29 kN the inner raceway has thelongest life of the three parts But when axial load bigger than29 kN the outer raceway life becomes the longest though itdoes not appear to be much different among fatigue life ofthree parts

333 Effect of Radial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsThe fatigue life of three bearing parts is also influenced by

1400 rmin is shown in Figure 8It can be found from Figure 8 that the fatigue life of outer

raceway and ball decreases with the increasing radial loadwhile the fatigue life of inner raceway increases slowly Atfirst the inner raceway life is the shortest among three partsHowever it exceeds ball life when radial load increases toabout 5 kN and exceeds outer raceway life when the loadat 17 kN or so The increase of radial load leads to contactangle and contact load changing which causes themaximumorthogonal shear stress of outer raceway and ball increase andinner raceway decreaseThis situation results in the variationof bearing parts life

34 Accelerated Life Test of Bearing To verify the accuracyof the model an accelerated life test was performed Theexperimental work carried out on the T20-60nF bearingfatigue life tester as shown in Figure 9 7311B angular contactball bearing was used in the test under one simulationworking condition as 119899 = 1400 rmin 119865119886 = 50 kN and

119865119903 = 0 Four acceleration sensors and an acoustic emissionsensor were installed to monitor the work status Because thecrack initiation life is difficult to determine in test the lifemodel cannot be quantitatively verified through comparingcalculated life with test value Because for bearing the failureof one of the parts means the failure of whole bearing if thefirst damage part of bearing in experiment is in agreementwith simulated result the model can be proved qualitativelyAccording to the simulation result the fatigue life is 137 times 106cycles 452times 106 cycles and 210times 106 cycles for inner racewayouter raceway and ball respectively It can be seen from theresult that the life of the inner raceway is the lowest that isthe inner raceway will be the most easily damaged part

35 Results Analysis There was no obvious damage thatcan be seen in outer raceway inner raceway and ball afterexperiment Small dots were found on the surface of innerraceway as shown in Figure 10(a) while not found on outerraceway (shown in Figure 10(b)) and ball under VMS-1510Gimagemeasurement instrument To further confirm the smalldots on inner raceway were fatigue damage the surfacecharacterization of the three bearing parts was studied underscanning electron microscope (SEM) as shown in Figure 11

Obvious pits about 25 120583m in size on the surface of innerraceway can be seen in Figure 11(a) which can be determinedtomicrospalling caused by contact fatigue inmorphologyOnthe other side there was no pit on surface of outer racewayand ball as can be seen in Figures 11(b) and 11(c)This suggeststhat the fatigue damage first appears on inner raceway ofbearing in accelerated life testThis result which is consistentwith the fatigue life model demonstrates qualitatively thecorrectness of coupling model of life and damage

4 Conclusion

In current study a quasistatic model considering mechanicalproperties of whole bearing was introduced into the fatiguelife calculation of angular contact ball bearing Then acouplingmodel of fatigue life and damage was established forrolling bearing The fatigue life of bearing parts was analyzedunder different rotational speed axial load and radial loadThe results have shown that different working condition has agreat influence on fatigue lives of bearing parts under settingconditions in this paper specifically as follows

(1) With the increasing of rotational speed the fatiguelife of inner raceway and rollers is up while of outerraceway decline The rotational speed does not muchaffect the order in which the damage appear onbearing parts

(2) The fatigue life of three parts decreases with the axialload increasing the fastest of which is the life ofinner raceway The rolling elements and raceways aredamaged in different order under different load valueThe inner raceway is easiest to emerge failure whenaxial load is higher than 29 kN

(3) As radial load increasing the fatigue life of outerraceway and rollers falls while of inner raceway rising

3 Life Prediction Model ofRolling Contact Bearing

31 Contact Stress Field Modeling and Numerical Solutioninside Angular Contact Ball Bearing The contact stress fieldbetween rolling element and raceway is altered because of thesignificant changing of contact angle and contact load underhigh speed rotation which will affect the fatigue life of rollingbearingsTherefore it is very important to established contactstress model of relationship between rolling element andraceway and to find the high efficiency numerical solutionmethod

311 Ball-Raceway Contact Mechanics Model In angularcontact ball bearings the contact zone between a ball and araceway is elliptical based on Hertz contact theory Surfacestress distribution inside the contact area has a semiellipsoidas shown in Figure 4 In the figure 119886 and 119887 are the semimajorand semiminor axes of the elliptical area of contact respec-tively

When the contact load is119876 the normal stress at any point(119909 119910) in the contact area surface can be expressed as follows[13]

where 119870 and 119864 are the complete elliptic integrals of the firstand second kind respectively [29]

According to (10) the key to the solution of Hertz contactproblem is to obtain the value of supplementary parameter 120581

312 Numerical Solution of Contact Model Harris andKotzalas [13] and Lundberg and Palmgren [20] suggestedsimplified computational methods to calculate Hertz contactstress However these methods all make approximation tomodel parameters which result in certain errors It will notonly affect the calculation accuracy of contact area stress fieldbut also cause some error to the calculation of rolling contactfatigue life Therefore dichotomy is used to simulate theHertz point contact problem to reduce the error of contactstress analysis Figure 5 shows the program chart

In order to determine the contact ellipse parameter 120581firstly the eccentricity of contact ellipse 119890 should be con-firmed while 119890 can be obtained from the following equation[27]

0 has unique solution in interval 119890 isin (0 1) the idea ofdichotomy is used to solve (11) numerically The value of119890 119864(1198902) and 119870(119890

2) can be obtained simultaneously when

solving (11) Initial values 1199091 and 1199092 as shown are taken in thesolution because the range of ellipse eccentricity is 119890 isin (0 1)Thus the more accurate value of contact ellipse parameter120581 is calculated if the error contact value is selected as small

as possible and then contact parameters 119886lowast 119887lowast and 120575lowast are

solved numericallyThe above numerical method is used to solve and analyze

the stress field of 7311B angular contact ball bearing Table 1shows parameters of the bearing The results are comparedwith results of Lundbergrsquos simple algorithm [27] as shown inTables 2 and 3

From Table 2 some errors between contact area size gotthrough numerical method and Lundbergrsquos simple algorithmexist but all less than 15 So the two methods can beverified with each other The obtained maximum contactstresses are shown in Table 3 The maximum contact stresserror at inner raceway is about 126 and about 084 atouter raceway Thus it can be seen that Lundbergrsquos simplealgorithm can roughly estimate the contact problem whencalculation accuracy is not high

32 Coupling Model of Fatigue Life and Damage for RollingBearing Suppose contact fatigue damage of rolling bearingsis isotropic thus the damage variable can be expressed as ascalar119863 which means damage variable [30]

119863 =120575119878119863

120575119904 (15)

where 120575119878119863 is damaged area on the section and 120575119878 is a sectionarea of infinitesimal

Damage variable 119863 ranges from 0 to 1 When 119863 is 0 itmeans the section has not been injured When119863 is 1 it indi-cates the section is full of damage and the bearing material isdestroyed entirely In fact real material is destroyed before119863reaches 1 Use 119863119888 to express the critical damage threshold ofmaterial experiments show that 119863119888 has a value between 02and 08 for metal material

Based on damage mechanics the rate of damage evolu-tion of high-cycle fatigue links with damage variable 119863 andstress level 120590 which expressed by a nonlinear equation asfollows [30]

d119863d119873

= 119891 (120590119863) (16)

Based on the nonlinear equation a two-parameter lifemodel coupled with damage was proposed by Chaboche andLesne [31] and Xiao et al [32] which was widely used topredict the fatigue life of crack initiation

d119863d119873

= [Δ120590

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(17)

where Δ120590 is the maximum variation range of stress in astress cycle 120590119903 and 119898 are two temperature-related materialconstants

For rolling contact note that the subsurface normalstresses on all the contact areas between raceway androllers are compressive and prevent crack propagation someassumptions are made [33] (1) damage accumulation cannotbe caused by subsurface pressure stress acting on cell nodes(2) the shear stress acting on cell nodes help to damageaccumulation and subsurface micro-crack propagation Thisis consistent with the view of subsurface crack in rollingbearing only propagating in mode II (sliding mode crack)Thus only shear stress amplitude Δ120591 can be used to predictthe fatigue life The damage evolution equation is expressedas follows

d119863d119873

= [Δ120591

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(18)

In view of the rolling contact fatigue damage is causedonly by the shear behavior of material the rolling contactfatigue is assumed to equivalent to torsional fatigue Soparameters 120590119903 and 119898 can be obtained from torsional fatiguecurve of a material

33 Simulation of Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts under Dif-ferent Loads and Rotational Speeds According to the abovequasistatic model contact angles and contact loads of abearing change with different operation conditions whichhave large effects on contact stress field and fatigue life ofbearing parts Ignore the impact of friction lubrication andmaterial inclusion on fatigue life of bearing parts to sametype rolling bearing the fatigue life of bearing parts is mainlyaffected by rotational speed 119899 axial load 119865119886 and radial load119865119903 This paper discusses the influences of these factors underthe circumstance of fixed outer raceway and rotating innerraceway

The contact angle and the contact load distribution of7311B angular contact ball bearing are calculated by the abovemodified Jonesrsquo model under different operating conditionsSubstitute these calculated load data in life prediction modeland then the fatigue life of bearing parts is obtained

331 Effect of Rotational Speed on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsWhile external load is invariable contact angles and contactloads of a bearing will be significantly changed because of theincrease of centrifugal force with rotational speed increasingIt will cause the life of bearing parts to be different Settingaxial load 119865119886 = 50 kN and radial load 119865119903 = 0 changing thespindle rotational speed then the changes of fatigue life ofbearing parts with rotational speed can be predicted as shownin Figure 6

Figure 7 The change of fatigue life with axial load 119865119886

As can be seen from Figure 6 the fatigue life of outerraceway is shortened gradually with the increasing of therotational speed and the fatigue life of inner raceway andball tend to be larger This is mainly due to the change of themaximum orthogonal shear stress at contact area caused bythe variation of centrifugal force The maximum orthogonalshear stress of the outer raceway will increase with theincrease of centrifugal force but the orthogonal shear stressof inner raceway decreases From the simulation results thefatigue life of outer raceway is the longest ball is the secondand inner raceway is the lowest

332 Effect of Axial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts Inthis case only the axial load is changed while the rotationalspeed and the radial load are constant This situation affectsthe stress field at contact area and further affects the fatiguelife of a bearing Figure 7 shows the variation trend of fatiguelife of bearing parts with axial load 119865119886 under the case radialload 119865119903 = 0 and rotational speed 119899 = 1400 rmin

As shown in Figure 7 increasing of axial load causesthe decrease of fatigue life of ball outer raceway and innerraceway This is because the maximum orthogonal shearstress increases with the axial load increasing However dueto the different increase rate of orthogonal shear stress fatiguelife of the three parts has different decline rates The fatiguelife of inner raceway falls at the fastest rate ball second andouter raceway the slowest We also see from the figure thatwhen axial load less than 29 kN the inner raceway has thelongest life of the three parts But when axial load bigger than29 kN the outer raceway life becomes the longest though itdoes not appear to be much different among fatigue life ofthree parts

333 Effect of Radial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsThe fatigue life of three bearing parts is also influenced by

1400 rmin is shown in Figure 8It can be found from Figure 8 that the fatigue life of outer

raceway and ball decreases with the increasing radial loadwhile the fatigue life of inner raceway increases slowly Atfirst the inner raceway life is the shortest among three partsHowever it exceeds ball life when radial load increases toabout 5 kN and exceeds outer raceway life when the loadat 17 kN or so The increase of radial load leads to contactangle and contact load changing which causes themaximumorthogonal shear stress of outer raceway and ball increase andinner raceway decreaseThis situation results in the variationof bearing parts life

34 Accelerated Life Test of Bearing To verify the accuracyof the model an accelerated life test was performed Theexperimental work carried out on the T20-60nF bearingfatigue life tester as shown in Figure 9 7311B angular contactball bearing was used in the test under one simulationworking condition as 119899 = 1400 rmin 119865119886 = 50 kN and

119865119903 = 0 Four acceleration sensors and an acoustic emissionsensor were installed to monitor the work status Because thecrack initiation life is difficult to determine in test the lifemodel cannot be quantitatively verified through comparingcalculated life with test value Because for bearing the failureof one of the parts means the failure of whole bearing if thefirst damage part of bearing in experiment is in agreementwith simulated result the model can be proved qualitativelyAccording to the simulation result the fatigue life is 137 times 106cycles 452times 106 cycles and 210times 106 cycles for inner racewayouter raceway and ball respectively It can be seen from theresult that the life of the inner raceway is the lowest that isthe inner raceway will be the most easily damaged part

35 Results Analysis There was no obvious damage thatcan be seen in outer raceway inner raceway and ball afterexperiment Small dots were found on the surface of innerraceway as shown in Figure 10(a) while not found on outerraceway (shown in Figure 10(b)) and ball under VMS-1510Gimagemeasurement instrument To further confirm the smalldots on inner raceway were fatigue damage the surfacecharacterization of the three bearing parts was studied underscanning electron microscope (SEM) as shown in Figure 11

Obvious pits about 25 120583m in size on the surface of innerraceway can be seen in Figure 11(a) which can be determinedtomicrospalling caused by contact fatigue inmorphologyOnthe other side there was no pit on surface of outer racewayand ball as can be seen in Figures 11(b) and 11(c)This suggeststhat the fatigue damage first appears on inner raceway ofbearing in accelerated life testThis result which is consistentwith the fatigue life model demonstrates qualitatively thecorrectness of coupling model of life and damage

4 Conclusion

In current study a quasistatic model considering mechanicalproperties of whole bearing was introduced into the fatiguelife calculation of angular contact ball bearing Then acouplingmodel of fatigue life and damage was established forrolling bearing The fatigue life of bearing parts was analyzedunder different rotational speed axial load and radial loadThe results have shown that different working condition has agreat influence on fatigue lives of bearing parts under settingconditions in this paper specifically as follows

(1) With the increasing of rotational speed the fatiguelife of inner raceway and rollers is up while of outerraceway decline The rotational speed does not muchaffect the order in which the damage appear onbearing parts

(2) The fatigue life of three parts decreases with the axialload increasing the fastest of which is the life ofinner raceway The rolling elements and raceways aredamaged in different order under different load valueThe inner raceway is easiest to emerge failure whenaxial load is higher than 29 kN

(3) As radial load increasing the fatigue life of outerraceway and rollers falls while of inner raceway rising

3 Life Prediction Model ofRolling Contact Bearing

31 Contact Stress Field Modeling and Numerical Solutioninside Angular Contact Ball Bearing The contact stress fieldbetween rolling element and raceway is altered because of thesignificant changing of contact angle and contact load underhigh speed rotation which will affect the fatigue life of rollingbearingsTherefore it is very important to established contactstress model of relationship between rolling element andraceway and to find the high efficiency numerical solutionmethod

311 Ball-Raceway Contact Mechanics Model In angularcontact ball bearings the contact zone between a ball and araceway is elliptical based on Hertz contact theory Surfacestress distribution inside the contact area has a semiellipsoidas shown in Figure 4 In the figure 119886 and 119887 are the semimajorand semiminor axes of the elliptical area of contact respec-tively

When the contact load is119876 the normal stress at any point(119909 119910) in the contact area surface can be expressed as follows[13]

where 119870 and 119864 are the complete elliptic integrals of the firstand second kind respectively [29]

According to (10) the key to the solution of Hertz contactproblem is to obtain the value of supplementary parameter 120581

312 Numerical Solution of Contact Model Harris andKotzalas [13] and Lundberg and Palmgren [20] suggestedsimplified computational methods to calculate Hertz contactstress However these methods all make approximation tomodel parameters which result in certain errors It will notonly affect the calculation accuracy of contact area stress fieldbut also cause some error to the calculation of rolling contactfatigue life Therefore dichotomy is used to simulate theHertz point contact problem to reduce the error of contactstress analysis Figure 5 shows the program chart

In order to determine the contact ellipse parameter 120581firstly the eccentricity of contact ellipse 119890 should be con-firmed while 119890 can be obtained from the following equation[27]

as possible and then contact parameters 119886lowast 119887lowast and 120575lowast are

solved numericallyThe above numerical method is used to solve and analyze

the stress field of 7311B angular contact ball bearing Table 1shows parameters of the bearing The results are comparedwith results of Lundbergrsquos simple algorithm [27] as shown inTables 2 and 3

From Table 2 some errors between contact area size gotthrough numerical method and Lundbergrsquos simple algorithmexist but all less than 15 So the two methods can beverified with each other The obtained maximum contactstresses are shown in Table 3 The maximum contact stresserror at inner raceway is about 126 and about 084 atouter raceway Thus it can be seen that Lundbergrsquos simplealgorithm can roughly estimate the contact problem whencalculation accuracy is not high

32 Coupling Model of Fatigue Life and Damage for RollingBearing Suppose contact fatigue damage of rolling bearingsis isotropic thus the damage variable can be expressed as ascalar119863 which means damage variable [30]

119863 =120575119878119863

120575119904 (15)

where 120575119878119863 is damaged area on the section and 120575119878 is a sectionarea of infinitesimal

Damage variable 119863 ranges from 0 to 1 When 119863 is 0 itmeans the section has not been injured When119863 is 1 it indi-cates the section is full of damage and the bearing material isdestroyed entirely In fact real material is destroyed before119863reaches 1 Use 119863119888 to express the critical damage threshold ofmaterial experiments show that 119863119888 has a value between 02and 08 for metal material

Based on damage mechanics the rate of damage evolu-tion of high-cycle fatigue links with damage variable 119863 andstress level 120590 which expressed by a nonlinear equation asfollows [30]

d119863d119873

= 119891 (120590119863) (16)

Based on the nonlinear equation a two-parameter lifemodel coupled with damage was proposed by Chaboche andLesne [31] and Xiao et al [32] which was widely used topredict the fatigue life of crack initiation

d119863d119873

= [Δ120590

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(17)

where Δ120590 is the maximum variation range of stress in astress cycle 120590119903 and 119898 are two temperature-related materialconstants

For rolling contact note that the subsurface normalstresses on all the contact areas between raceway androllers are compressive and prevent crack propagation someassumptions are made [33] (1) damage accumulation cannotbe caused by subsurface pressure stress acting on cell nodes(2) the shear stress acting on cell nodes help to damageaccumulation and subsurface micro-crack propagation Thisis consistent with the view of subsurface crack in rollingbearing only propagating in mode II (sliding mode crack)Thus only shear stress amplitude Δ120591 can be used to predictthe fatigue life The damage evolution equation is expressedas follows

= [Δ120591

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(18)

In view of the rolling contact fatigue damage is causedonly by the shear behavior of material the rolling contactfatigue is assumed to equivalent to torsional fatigue Soparameters 120590119903 and 119898 can be obtained from torsional fatiguecurve of a material

33 Simulation of Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts under Dif-ferent Loads and Rotational Speeds According to the abovequasistatic model contact angles and contact loads of abearing change with different operation conditions whichhave large effects on contact stress field and fatigue life ofbearing parts Ignore the impact of friction lubrication andmaterial inclusion on fatigue life of bearing parts to sametype rolling bearing the fatigue life of bearing parts is mainlyaffected by rotational speed 119899 axial load 119865119886 and radial load119865119903 This paper discusses the influences of these factors underthe circumstance of fixed outer raceway and rotating innerraceway

The contact angle and the contact load distribution of7311B angular contact ball bearing are calculated by the abovemodified Jonesrsquo model under different operating conditionsSubstitute these calculated load data in life prediction modeland then the fatigue life of bearing parts is obtained

331 Effect of Rotational Speed on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsWhile external load is invariable contact angles and contactloads of a bearing will be significantly changed because of theincrease of centrifugal force with rotational speed increasingIt will cause the life of bearing parts to be different Settingaxial load 119865119886 = 50 kN and radial load 119865119903 = 0 changing thespindle rotational speed then the changes of fatigue life ofbearing parts with rotational speed can be predicted as shownin Figure 6

Figure 7 The change of fatigue life with axial load 119865119886

As can be seen from Figure 6 the fatigue life of outerraceway is shortened gradually with the increasing of therotational speed and the fatigue life of inner raceway andball tend to be larger This is mainly due to the change of themaximum orthogonal shear stress at contact area caused bythe variation of centrifugal force The maximum orthogonalshear stress of the outer raceway will increase with theincrease of centrifugal force but the orthogonal shear stressof inner raceway decreases From the simulation results thefatigue life of outer raceway is the longest ball is the secondand inner raceway is the lowest

332 Effect of Axial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts Inthis case only the axial load is changed while the rotationalspeed and the radial load are constant This situation affectsthe stress field at contact area and further affects the fatiguelife of a bearing Figure 7 shows the variation trend of fatiguelife of bearing parts with axial load 119865119886 under the case radialload 119865119903 = 0 and rotational speed 119899 = 1400 rmin

As shown in Figure 7 increasing of axial load causesthe decrease of fatigue life of ball outer raceway and innerraceway This is because the maximum orthogonal shearstress increases with the axial load increasing However dueto the different increase rate of orthogonal shear stress fatiguelife of the three parts has different decline rates The fatiguelife of inner raceway falls at the fastest rate ball second andouter raceway the slowest We also see from the figure thatwhen axial load less than 29 kN the inner raceway has thelongest life of the three parts But when axial load bigger than29 kN the outer raceway life becomes the longest though itdoes not appear to be much different among fatigue life ofthree parts

333 Effect of Radial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsThe fatigue life of three bearing parts is also influenced by

1400 rmin is shown in Figure 8It can be found from Figure 8 that the fatigue life of outer

raceway and ball decreases with the increasing radial loadwhile the fatigue life of inner raceway increases slowly Atfirst the inner raceway life is the shortest among three partsHowever it exceeds ball life when radial load increases toabout 5 kN and exceeds outer raceway life when the loadat 17 kN or so The increase of radial load leads to contactangle and contact load changing which causes themaximumorthogonal shear stress of outer raceway and ball increase andinner raceway decreaseThis situation results in the variationof bearing parts life

34 Accelerated Life Test of Bearing To verify the accuracyof the model an accelerated life test was performed Theexperimental work carried out on the T20-60nF bearingfatigue life tester as shown in Figure 9 7311B angular contactball bearing was used in the test under one simulationworking condition as 119899 = 1400 rmin 119865119886 = 50 kN and

119865119903 = 0 Four acceleration sensors and an acoustic emissionsensor were installed to monitor the work status Because thecrack initiation life is difficult to determine in test the lifemodel cannot be quantitatively verified through comparingcalculated life with test value Because for bearing the failureof one of the parts means the failure of whole bearing if thefirst damage part of bearing in experiment is in agreementwith simulated result the model can be proved qualitativelyAccording to the simulation result the fatigue life is 137 times 106cycles 452times 106 cycles and 210times 106 cycles for inner racewayouter raceway and ball respectively It can be seen from theresult that the life of the inner raceway is the lowest that isthe inner raceway will be the most easily damaged part

35 Results Analysis There was no obvious damage thatcan be seen in outer raceway inner raceway and ball afterexperiment Small dots were found on the surface of innerraceway as shown in Figure 10(a) while not found on outerraceway (shown in Figure 10(b)) and ball under VMS-1510Gimagemeasurement instrument To further confirm the smalldots on inner raceway were fatigue damage the surfacecharacterization of the three bearing parts was studied underscanning electron microscope (SEM) as shown in Figure 11

Obvious pits about 25 120583m in size on the surface of innerraceway can be seen in Figure 11(a) which can be determinedtomicrospalling caused by contact fatigue inmorphologyOnthe other side there was no pit on surface of outer racewayand ball as can be seen in Figures 11(b) and 11(c)This suggeststhat the fatigue damage first appears on inner raceway ofbearing in accelerated life testThis result which is consistentwith the fatigue life model demonstrates qualitatively thecorrectness of coupling model of life and damage

4 Conclusion

In current study a quasistatic model considering mechanicalproperties of whole bearing was introduced into the fatiguelife calculation of angular contact ball bearing Then acouplingmodel of fatigue life and damage was established forrolling bearing The fatigue life of bearing parts was analyzedunder different rotational speed axial load and radial loadThe results have shown that different working condition has agreat influence on fatigue lives of bearing parts under settingconditions in this paper specifically as follows

(1) With the increasing of rotational speed the fatiguelife of inner raceway and rollers is up while of outerraceway decline The rotational speed does not muchaffect the order in which the damage appear onbearing parts

(2) The fatigue life of three parts decreases with the axialload increasing the fastest of which is the life ofinner raceway The rolling elements and raceways aredamaged in different order under different load valueThe inner raceway is easiest to emerge failure whenaxial load is higher than 29 kN

(3) As radial load increasing the fatigue life of outerraceway and rollers falls while of inner raceway rising

where 119870 and 119864 are the complete elliptic integrals of the firstand second kind respectively [29]

According to (10) the key to the solution of Hertz contactproblem is to obtain the value of supplementary parameter 120581

312 Numerical Solution of Contact Model Harris andKotzalas [13] and Lundberg and Palmgren [20] suggestedsimplified computational methods to calculate Hertz contactstress However these methods all make approximation tomodel parameters which result in certain errors It will notonly affect the calculation accuracy of contact area stress fieldbut also cause some error to the calculation of rolling contactfatigue life Therefore dichotomy is used to simulate theHertz point contact problem to reduce the error of contactstress analysis Figure 5 shows the program chart

In order to determine the contact ellipse parameter 120581firstly the eccentricity of contact ellipse 119890 should be con-firmed while 119890 can be obtained from the following equation[27]

as possible and then contact parameters 119886lowast 119887lowast and 120575lowast are

solved numericallyThe above numerical method is used to solve and analyze

the stress field of 7311B angular contact ball bearing Table 1shows parameters of the bearing The results are comparedwith results of Lundbergrsquos simple algorithm [27] as shown inTables 2 and 3

From Table 2 some errors between contact area size gotthrough numerical method and Lundbergrsquos simple algorithmexist but all less than 15 So the two methods can beverified with each other The obtained maximum contactstresses are shown in Table 3 The maximum contact stresserror at inner raceway is about 126 and about 084 atouter raceway Thus it can be seen that Lundbergrsquos simplealgorithm can roughly estimate the contact problem whencalculation accuracy is not high

32 Coupling Model of Fatigue Life and Damage for RollingBearing Suppose contact fatigue damage of rolling bearingsis isotropic thus the damage variable can be expressed as ascalar119863 which means damage variable [30]

119863 =120575119878119863

120575119904 (15)

where 120575119878119863 is damaged area on the section and 120575119878 is a sectionarea of infinitesimal

Damage variable 119863 ranges from 0 to 1 When 119863 is 0 itmeans the section has not been injured When119863 is 1 it indi-cates the section is full of damage and the bearing material isdestroyed entirely In fact real material is destroyed before119863reaches 1 Use 119863119888 to express the critical damage threshold ofmaterial experiments show that 119863119888 has a value between 02and 08 for metal material

Based on damage mechanics the rate of damage evolu-tion of high-cycle fatigue links with damage variable 119863 andstress level 120590 which expressed by a nonlinear equation asfollows [30]

d119863d119873

= 119891 (120590119863) (16)

Based on the nonlinear equation a two-parameter lifemodel coupled with damage was proposed by Chaboche andLesne [31] and Xiao et al [32] which was widely used topredict the fatigue life of crack initiation

d119863d119873

= [Δ120590

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(17)

where Δ120590 is the maximum variation range of stress in astress cycle 120590119903 and 119898 are two temperature-related materialconstants

For rolling contact note that the subsurface normalstresses on all the contact areas between raceway androllers are compressive and prevent crack propagation someassumptions are made [33] (1) damage accumulation cannotbe caused by subsurface pressure stress acting on cell nodes(2) the shear stress acting on cell nodes help to damageaccumulation and subsurface micro-crack propagation Thisis consistent with the view of subsurface crack in rollingbearing only propagating in mode II (sliding mode crack)Thus only shear stress amplitude Δ120591 can be used to predictthe fatigue life The damage evolution equation is expressedas follows

= [Δ120591

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(18)

In view of the rolling contact fatigue damage is causedonly by the shear behavior of material the rolling contactfatigue is assumed to equivalent to torsional fatigue Soparameters 120590119903 and 119898 can be obtained from torsional fatiguecurve of a material

33 Simulation of Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts under Dif-ferent Loads and Rotational Speeds According to the abovequasistatic model contact angles and contact loads of abearing change with different operation conditions whichhave large effects on contact stress field and fatigue life ofbearing parts Ignore the impact of friction lubrication andmaterial inclusion on fatigue life of bearing parts to sametype rolling bearing the fatigue life of bearing parts is mainlyaffected by rotational speed 119899 axial load 119865119886 and radial load119865119903 This paper discusses the influences of these factors underthe circumstance of fixed outer raceway and rotating innerraceway

The contact angle and the contact load distribution of7311B angular contact ball bearing are calculated by the abovemodified Jonesrsquo model under different operating conditionsSubstitute these calculated load data in life prediction modeland then the fatigue life of bearing parts is obtained

331 Effect of Rotational Speed on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsWhile external load is invariable contact angles and contactloads of a bearing will be significantly changed because of theincrease of centrifugal force with rotational speed increasingIt will cause the life of bearing parts to be different Settingaxial load 119865119886 = 50 kN and radial load 119865119903 = 0 changing thespindle rotational speed then the changes of fatigue life ofbearing parts with rotational speed can be predicted as shownin Figure 6

Figure 7 The change of fatigue life with axial load 119865119886

As can be seen from Figure 6 the fatigue life of outerraceway is shortened gradually with the increasing of therotational speed and the fatigue life of inner raceway andball tend to be larger This is mainly due to the change of themaximum orthogonal shear stress at contact area caused bythe variation of centrifugal force The maximum orthogonalshear stress of the outer raceway will increase with theincrease of centrifugal force but the orthogonal shear stressof inner raceway decreases From the simulation results thefatigue life of outer raceway is the longest ball is the secondand inner raceway is the lowest

332 Effect of Axial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts Inthis case only the axial load is changed while the rotationalspeed and the radial load are constant This situation affectsthe stress field at contact area and further affects the fatiguelife of a bearing Figure 7 shows the variation trend of fatiguelife of bearing parts with axial load 119865119886 under the case radialload 119865119903 = 0 and rotational speed 119899 = 1400 rmin

As shown in Figure 7 increasing of axial load causesthe decrease of fatigue life of ball outer raceway and innerraceway This is because the maximum orthogonal shearstress increases with the axial load increasing However dueto the different increase rate of orthogonal shear stress fatiguelife of the three parts has different decline rates The fatiguelife of inner raceway falls at the fastest rate ball second andouter raceway the slowest We also see from the figure thatwhen axial load less than 29 kN the inner raceway has thelongest life of the three parts But when axial load bigger than29 kN the outer raceway life becomes the longest though itdoes not appear to be much different among fatigue life ofthree parts

333 Effect of Radial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsThe fatigue life of three bearing parts is also influenced by

1400 rmin is shown in Figure 8It can be found from Figure 8 that the fatigue life of outer

raceway and ball decreases with the increasing radial loadwhile the fatigue life of inner raceway increases slowly Atfirst the inner raceway life is the shortest among three partsHowever it exceeds ball life when radial load increases toabout 5 kN and exceeds outer raceway life when the loadat 17 kN or so The increase of radial load leads to contactangle and contact load changing which causes themaximumorthogonal shear stress of outer raceway and ball increase andinner raceway decreaseThis situation results in the variationof bearing parts life

34 Accelerated Life Test of Bearing To verify the accuracyof the model an accelerated life test was performed Theexperimental work carried out on the T20-60nF bearingfatigue life tester as shown in Figure 9 7311B angular contactball bearing was used in the test under one simulationworking condition as 119899 = 1400 rmin 119865119886 = 50 kN and

119865119903 = 0 Four acceleration sensors and an acoustic emissionsensor were installed to monitor the work status Because thecrack initiation life is difficult to determine in test the lifemodel cannot be quantitatively verified through comparingcalculated life with test value Because for bearing the failureof one of the parts means the failure of whole bearing if thefirst damage part of bearing in experiment is in agreementwith simulated result the model can be proved qualitativelyAccording to the simulation result the fatigue life is 137 times 106cycles 452times 106 cycles and 210times 106 cycles for inner racewayouter raceway and ball respectively It can be seen from theresult that the life of the inner raceway is the lowest that isthe inner raceway will be the most easily damaged part

35 Results Analysis There was no obvious damage thatcan be seen in outer raceway inner raceway and ball afterexperiment Small dots were found on the surface of innerraceway as shown in Figure 10(a) while not found on outerraceway (shown in Figure 10(b)) and ball under VMS-1510Gimagemeasurement instrument To further confirm the smalldots on inner raceway were fatigue damage the surfacecharacterization of the three bearing parts was studied underscanning electron microscope (SEM) as shown in Figure 11

Obvious pits about 25 120583m in size on the surface of innerraceway can be seen in Figure 11(a) which can be determinedtomicrospalling caused by contact fatigue inmorphologyOnthe other side there was no pit on surface of outer racewayand ball as can be seen in Figures 11(b) and 11(c)This suggeststhat the fatigue damage first appears on inner raceway ofbearing in accelerated life testThis result which is consistentwith the fatigue life model demonstrates qualitatively thecorrectness of coupling model of life and damage

4 Conclusion

In current study a quasistatic model considering mechanicalproperties of whole bearing was introduced into the fatiguelife calculation of angular contact ball bearing Then acouplingmodel of fatigue life and damage was established forrolling bearing The fatigue life of bearing parts was analyzedunder different rotational speed axial load and radial loadThe results have shown that different working condition has agreat influence on fatigue lives of bearing parts under settingconditions in this paper specifically as follows

(1) With the increasing of rotational speed the fatiguelife of inner raceway and rollers is up while of outerraceway decline The rotational speed does not muchaffect the order in which the damage appear onbearing parts

(2) The fatigue life of three parts decreases with the axialload increasing the fastest of which is the life ofinner raceway The rolling elements and raceways aredamaged in different order under different load valueThe inner raceway is easiest to emerge failure whenaxial load is higher than 29 kN

(3) As radial load increasing the fatigue life of outerraceway and rollers falls while of inner raceway rising

as possible and then contact parameters 119886lowast 119887lowast and 120575lowast are

solved numericallyThe above numerical method is used to solve and analyze

the stress field of 7311B angular contact ball bearing Table 1shows parameters of the bearing The results are comparedwith results of Lundbergrsquos simple algorithm [27] as shown inTables 2 and 3

From Table 2 some errors between contact area size gotthrough numerical method and Lundbergrsquos simple algorithmexist but all less than 15 So the two methods can beverified with each other The obtained maximum contactstresses are shown in Table 3 The maximum contact stresserror at inner raceway is about 126 and about 084 atouter raceway Thus it can be seen that Lundbergrsquos simplealgorithm can roughly estimate the contact problem whencalculation accuracy is not high

32 Coupling Model of Fatigue Life and Damage for RollingBearing Suppose contact fatigue damage of rolling bearingsis isotropic thus the damage variable can be expressed as ascalar119863 which means damage variable [30]

119863 =120575119878119863

120575119904 (15)

where 120575119878119863 is damaged area on the section and 120575119878 is a sectionarea of infinitesimal

Damage variable 119863 ranges from 0 to 1 When 119863 is 0 itmeans the section has not been injured When119863 is 1 it indi-cates the section is full of damage and the bearing material isdestroyed entirely In fact real material is destroyed before119863reaches 1 Use 119863119888 to express the critical damage threshold ofmaterial experiments show that 119863119888 has a value between 02and 08 for metal material

Based on damage mechanics the rate of damage evolu-tion of high-cycle fatigue links with damage variable 119863 andstress level 120590 which expressed by a nonlinear equation asfollows [30]

d119863d119873

= 119891 (120590119863) (16)

Based on the nonlinear equation a two-parameter lifemodel coupled with damage was proposed by Chaboche andLesne [31] and Xiao et al [32] which was widely used topredict the fatigue life of crack initiation

d119863d119873

= [Δ120590

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(17)

where Δ120590 is the maximum variation range of stress in astress cycle 120590119903 and 119898 are two temperature-related materialconstants

For rolling contact note that the subsurface normalstresses on all the contact areas between raceway androllers are compressive and prevent crack propagation someassumptions are made [33] (1) damage accumulation cannotbe caused by subsurface pressure stress acting on cell nodes(2) the shear stress acting on cell nodes help to damageaccumulation and subsurface micro-crack propagation Thisis consistent with the view of subsurface crack in rollingbearing only propagating in mode II (sliding mode crack)Thus only shear stress amplitude Δ120591 can be used to predictthe fatigue life The damage evolution equation is expressedas follows

d119863d119873

= [Δ120591

120590119903 (1 minus 119863)]

119898

(18)

In view of the rolling contact fatigue damage is causedonly by the shear behavior of material the rolling contactfatigue is assumed to equivalent to torsional fatigue Soparameters 120590119903 and 119898 can be obtained from torsional fatiguecurve of a material

33 Simulation of Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts under Dif-ferent Loads and Rotational Speeds According to the abovequasistatic model contact angles and contact loads of abearing change with different operation conditions whichhave large effects on contact stress field and fatigue life ofbearing parts Ignore the impact of friction lubrication andmaterial inclusion on fatigue life of bearing parts to sametype rolling bearing the fatigue life of bearing parts is mainlyaffected by rotational speed 119899 axial load 119865119886 and radial load119865119903 This paper discusses the influences of these factors underthe circumstance of fixed outer raceway and rotating innerraceway

The contact angle and the contact load distribution of7311B angular contact ball bearing are calculated by the abovemodified Jonesrsquo model under different operating conditionsSubstitute these calculated load data in life prediction modeland then the fatigue life of bearing parts is obtained

331 Effect of Rotational Speed on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsWhile external load is invariable contact angles and contactloads of a bearing will be significantly changed because of theincrease of centrifugal force with rotational speed increasingIt will cause the life of bearing parts to be different Settingaxial load 119865119886 = 50 kN and radial load 119865119903 = 0 changing thespindle rotational speed then the changes of fatigue life ofbearing parts with rotational speed can be predicted as shownin Figure 6

Figure 7 The change of fatigue life with axial load 119865119886

As can be seen from Figure 6 the fatigue life of outerraceway is shortened gradually with the increasing of therotational speed and the fatigue life of inner raceway andball tend to be larger This is mainly due to the change of themaximum orthogonal shear stress at contact area caused bythe variation of centrifugal force The maximum orthogonalshear stress of the outer raceway will increase with theincrease of centrifugal force but the orthogonal shear stressof inner raceway decreases From the simulation results thefatigue life of outer raceway is the longest ball is the secondand inner raceway is the lowest

332 Effect of Axial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts Inthis case only the axial load is changed while the rotationalspeed and the radial load are constant This situation affectsthe stress field at contact area and further affects the fatiguelife of a bearing Figure 7 shows the variation trend of fatiguelife of bearing parts with axial load 119865119886 under the case radialload 119865119903 = 0 and rotational speed 119899 = 1400 rmin

As shown in Figure 7 increasing of axial load causesthe decrease of fatigue life of ball outer raceway and innerraceway This is because the maximum orthogonal shearstress increases with the axial load increasing However dueto the different increase rate of orthogonal shear stress fatiguelife of the three parts has different decline rates The fatiguelife of inner raceway falls at the fastest rate ball second andouter raceway the slowest We also see from the figure thatwhen axial load less than 29 kN the inner raceway has thelongest life of the three parts But when axial load bigger than29 kN the outer raceway life becomes the longest though itdoes not appear to be much different among fatigue life ofthree parts

333 Effect of Radial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing PartsThe fatigue life of three bearing parts is also influenced by

1400 rmin is shown in Figure 8It can be found from Figure 8 that the fatigue life of outer

raceway and ball decreases with the increasing radial loadwhile the fatigue life of inner raceway increases slowly Atfirst the inner raceway life is the shortest among three partsHowever it exceeds ball life when radial load increases toabout 5 kN and exceeds outer raceway life when the loadat 17 kN or so The increase of radial load leads to contactangle and contact load changing which causes themaximumorthogonal shear stress of outer raceway and ball increase andinner raceway decreaseThis situation results in the variationof bearing parts life

34 Accelerated Life Test of Bearing To verify the accuracyof the model an accelerated life test was performed Theexperimental work carried out on the T20-60nF bearingfatigue life tester as shown in Figure 9 7311B angular contactball bearing was used in the test under one simulationworking condition as 119899 = 1400 rmin 119865119886 = 50 kN and

119865119903 = 0 Four acceleration sensors and an acoustic emissionsensor were installed to monitor the work status Because thecrack initiation life is difficult to determine in test the lifemodel cannot be quantitatively verified through comparingcalculated life with test value Because for bearing the failureof one of the parts means the failure of whole bearing if thefirst damage part of bearing in experiment is in agreementwith simulated result the model can be proved qualitativelyAccording to the simulation result the fatigue life is 137 times 106cycles 452times 106 cycles and 210times 106 cycles for inner racewayouter raceway and ball respectively It can be seen from theresult that the life of the inner raceway is the lowest that isthe inner raceway will be the most easily damaged part

35 Results Analysis There was no obvious damage thatcan be seen in outer raceway inner raceway and ball afterexperiment Small dots were found on the surface of innerraceway as shown in Figure 10(a) while not found on outerraceway (shown in Figure 10(b)) and ball under VMS-1510Gimagemeasurement instrument To further confirm the smalldots on inner raceway were fatigue damage the surfacecharacterization of the three bearing parts was studied underscanning electron microscope (SEM) as shown in Figure 11

Obvious pits about 25 120583m in size on the surface of innerraceway can be seen in Figure 11(a) which can be determinedtomicrospalling caused by contact fatigue inmorphologyOnthe other side there was no pit on surface of outer racewayand ball as can be seen in Figures 11(b) and 11(c)This suggeststhat the fatigue damage first appears on inner raceway ofbearing in accelerated life testThis result which is consistentwith the fatigue life model demonstrates qualitatively thecorrectness of coupling model of life and damage

4 Conclusion

In current study a quasistatic model considering mechanicalproperties of whole bearing was introduced into the fatiguelife calculation of angular contact ball bearing Then acouplingmodel of fatigue life and damage was established forrolling bearing The fatigue life of bearing parts was analyzedunder different rotational speed axial load and radial loadThe results have shown that different working condition has agreat influence on fatigue lives of bearing parts under settingconditions in this paper specifically as follows

(1) With the increasing of rotational speed the fatiguelife of inner raceway and rollers is up while of outerraceway decline The rotational speed does not muchaffect the order in which the damage appear onbearing parts

(2) The fatigue life of three parts decreases with the axialload increasing the fastest of which is the life ofinner raceway The rolling elements and raceways aredamaged in different order under different load valueThe inner raceway is easiest to emerge failure whenaxial load is higher than 29 kN

(3) As radial load increasing the fatigue life of outerraceway and rollers falls while of inner raceway rising

Figure 7 The change of fatigue life with axial load 119865119886

As can be seen from Figure 6 the fatigue life of outerraceway is shortened gradually with the increasing of therotational speed and the fatigue life of inner raceway andball tend to be larger This is mainly due to the change of themaximum orthogonal shear stress at contact area caused bythe variation of centrifugal force The maximum orthogonalshear stress of the outer raceway will increase with theincrease of centrifugal force but the orthogonal shear stressof inner raceway decreases From the simulation results thefatigue life of outer raceway is the longest ball is the secondand inner raceway is the lowest

332 Effect of Axial Load on Fatigue Life of Bearing Parts Inthis case only the axial load is changed while the rotationalspeed and the radial load are constant This situation affectsthe stress field at contact area and further affects the fatiguelife of a bearing Figure 7 shows the variation trend of fatiguelife of bearing parts with axial load 119865119886 under the case radialload 119865119903 = 0 and rotational speed 119899 = 1400 rmin

As shown in Figure 7 increasing of axial load causesthe decrease of fatigue life of ball outer raceway and innerraceway This is because the maximum orthogonal shearstress increases with the axial load increasing However dueto the different increase rate of orthogonal shear stress fatiguelife of the three parts has different decline rates The fatiguelife of inner raceway falls at the fastest rate ball second andouter raceway the slowest We also see from the figure thatwhen axial load less than 29 kN the inner raceway has thelongest life of the three parts But when axial load bigger than29 kN the outer raceway life becomes the longest though itdoes not appear to be much different among fatigue life ofthree parts

1400 rmin is shown in Figure 8It can be found from Figure 8 that the fatigue life of outer

raceway and ball decreases with the increasing radial loadwhile the fatigue life of inner raceway increases slowly Atfirst the inner raceway life is the shortest among three partsHowever it exceeds ball life when radial load increases toabout 5 kN and exceeds outer raceway life when the loadat 17 kN or so The increase of radial load leads to contactangle and contact load changing which causes themaximumorthogonal shear stress of outer raceway and ball increase andinner raceway decreaseThis situation results in the variationof bearing parts life

34 Accelerated Life Test of Bearing To verify the accuracyof the model an accelerated life test was performed Theexperimental work carried out on the T20-60nF bearingfatigue life tester as shown in Figure 9 7311B angular contactball bearing was used in the test under one simulationworking condition as 119899 = 1400 rmin 119865119886 = 50 kN and

119865119903 = 0 Four acceleration sensors and an acoustic emissionsensor were installed to monitor the work status Because thecrack initiation life is difficult to determine in test the lifemodel cannot be quantitatively verified through comparingcalculated life with test value Because for bearing the failureof one of the parts means the failure of whole bearing if thefirst damage part of bearing in experiment is in agreementwith simulated result the model can be proved qualitativelyAccording to the simulation result the fatigue life is 137 times 106cycles 452times 106 cycles and 210times 106 cycles for inner racewayouter raceway and ball respectively It can be seen from theresult that the life of the inner raceway is the lowest that isthe inner raceway will be the most easily damaged part

35 Results Analysis There was no obvious damage thatcan be seen in outer raceway inner raceway and ball afterexperiment Small dots were found on the surface of innerraceway as shown in Figure 10(a) while not found on outerraceway (shown in Figure 10(b)) and ball under VMS-1510Gimagemeasurement instrument To further confirm the smalldots on inner raceway were fatigue damage the surfacecharacterization of the three bearing parts was studied underscanning electron microscope (SEM) as shown in Figure 11

Obvious pits about 25 120583m in size on the surface of innerraceway can be seen in Figure 11(a) which can be determinedtomicrospalling caused by contact fatigue inmorphologyOnthe other side there was no pit on surface of outer racewayand ball as can be seen in Figures 11(b) and 11(c)This suggeststhat the fatigue damage first appears on inner raceway ofbearing in accelerated life testThis result which is consistentwith the fatigue life model demonstrates qualitatively thecorrectness of coupling model of life and damage

In current study a quasistatic model considering mechanicalproperties of whole bearing was introduced into the fatiguelife calculation of angular contact ball bearing Then acouplingmodel of fatigue life and damage was established forrolling bearing The fatigue life of bearing parts was analyzedunder different rotational speed axial load and radial loadThe results have shown that different working condition has agreat influence on fatigue lives of bearing parts under settingconditions in this paper specifically as follows

(1) With the increasing of rotational speed the fatiguelife of inner raceway and rollers is up while of outerraceway decline The rotational speed does not muchaffect the order in which the damage appear onbearing parts

(2) The fatigue life of three parts decreases with the axialload increasing the fastest of which is the life ofinner raceway The rolling elements and raceways aredamaged in different order under different load valueThe inner raceway is easiest to emerge failure whenaxial load is higher than 29 kN

(3) As radial load increasing the fatigue life of outerraceway and rollers falls while of inner raceway rising

Figure 8 The change of fatigue life with radial load 119865119903

Figure 9 T20-60nF bearing fatigue life tester

adjusting radial load and keeping axial load and rotationalspeedThe fatigue life trend changes with radial load119865119903 underthe case axial load 119865119886 = 50 kN and rotational speed 119899 =

1400 rmin is shown in Figure 8It can be found from Figure 8 that the fatigue life of outer

raceway and ball decreases with the increasing radial loadwhile the fatigue life of inner raceway increases slowly Atfirst the inner raceway life is the shortest among three partsHowever it exceeds ball life when radial load increases toabout 5 kN and exceeds outer raceway life when the loadat 17 kN or so The increase of radial load leads to contactangle and contact load changing which causes themaximumorthogonal shear stress of outer raceway and ball increase andinner raceway decreaseThis situation results in the variationof bearing parts life

34 Accelerated Life Test of Bearing To verify the accuracyof the model an accelerated life test was performed Theexperimental work carried out on the T20-60nF bearingfatigue life tester as shown in Figure 9 7311B angular contactball bearing was used in the test under one simulationworking condition as 119899 = 1400 rmin 119865119886 = 50 kN and

119865119903 = 0 Four acceleration sensors and an acoustic emissionsensor were installed to monitor the work status Because thecrack initiation life is difficult to determine in test the lifemodel cannot be quantitatively verified through comparingcalculated life with test value Because for bearing the failureof one of the parts means the failure of whole bearing if thefirst damage part of bearing in experiment is in agreementwith simulated result the model can be proved qualitativelyAccording to the simulation result the fatigue life is 137 times 106cycles 452times 106 cycles and 210times 106 cycles for inner racewayouter raceway and ball respectively It can be seen from theresult that the life of the inner raceway is the lowest that isthe inner raceway will be the most easily damaged part

35 Results Analysis There was no obvious damage thatcan be seen in outer raceway inner raceway and ball afterexperiment Small dots were found on the surface of innerraceway as shown in Figure 10(a) while not found on outerraceway (shown in Figure 10(b)) and ball under VMS-1510Gimagemeasurement instrument To further confirm the smalldots on inner raceway were fatigue damage the surfacecharacterization of the three bearing parts was studied underscanning electron microscope (SEM) as shown in Figure 11

Obvious pits about 25 120583m in size on the surface of innerraceway can be seen in Figure 11(a) which can be determinedtomicrospalling caused by contact fatigue inmorphologyOnthe other side there was no pit on surface of outer racewayand ball as can be seen in Figures 11(b) and 11(c)This suggeststhat the fatigue damage first appears on inner raceway ofbearing in accelerated life testThis result which is consistentwith the fatigue life model demonstrates qualitatively thecorrectness of coupling model of life and damage

4 Conclusion

In current study a quasistatic model considering mechanicalproperties of whole bearing was introduced into the fatiguelife calculation of angular contact ball bearing Then acouplingmodel of fatigue life and damage was established forrolling bearing The fatigue life of bearing parts was analyzedunder different rotational speed axial load and radial loadThe results have shown that different working condition has agreat influence on fatigue lives of bearing parts under settingconditions in this paper specifically as follows
