Abstract

Elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing is a kind of new bearing. In view of its structural particularity, explicit dynamics finite element model of elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing is established by utilizing ABAQUS/EXPLICIT. Dynamic responses of elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing are analyzed and response analysis is compared under different radial loads and rotation speeds. Dynamic responses of elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing are analyzed and response analysis is compared under different radial loads and rotation speeds. Results show that rolling and holder lag in rotation is as being compared to inner ring. The motion processes of all the holder, inner ring and roller have certain periodicity. Fluctuation amplitude of inner ring displacement increases with load. Response increases with rotation speed when amplification decreases. Analysis results can offer beneficial reference for further research on dynamic characteristics of elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing.

Keywords: Elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing, explicit dynamics, finite element, radial load, rotation speed.
