Özet

Stress and displacement distributions on inner and outer rings of cylindrical roller bearings are investigated using the finite element (FE) method. FE models are solved by considering the interactions of steel shaft, inner ring, rollers, outer ring, and outer cage using ANSYS. The mesh convergence rates of FE models are investigated and the optimum number of elements is selected in the models. The load distributions on rollers are determined. The radial, tangential, and von Mises stresses are plotted along the inner and outer faces of the inner and outer rings. The radial, tangential, and total displacements are also investigated. FE solutions are validated with experiments and available analytic solutions.
